Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

I find that a sudden, deep diaphragmatic gasp and holding it for 20-30 seconds does it for me. But it needs to be harsh, otherwise it doesn’t work.
Super Mario Bros 2 did the one you’re talking about. I think Mario 64 onwards as well. However, the one OP is talking about is common in Half-Life.

Care to explain?
If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.
Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.
I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.
Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.
Seriously though, who asked for photorealistic graphics? If people agreed on a reasonable target, we could just have games at a reasonable size and cost, hardware upgrades wouldn’t need to be so insane, and teams could be put on other important things like, I dunno, making sure the game works instead of just looking pretty.
I could see it working as Too Loud Didn’t Watch, like when those idiotic YouTube meme videos crank up the volume until it’s distorted for “comedic effect.”
Starfield, Diablo 4, and Tears of the Kingdom for me.
Starfield was a hard pass at 30FPS on my Series X. But also, the gameplay and story just didn’t interest me at all.
Diablo 4 was monotonous. Grinding for hours to get a percentage of a percentage increase on gear was not fun. I’ve played every other Diablo game along with numerous other action RPGs of that style, but D4 is a snorefest. It’s frustrating being chain stunned by all the crowd control, it’s frustrating that a lot of enemies have a lot of health for no reason, and it’s bland when you face the same few bosses over and over again. It wasn’t so bad in the other Diablo games because you could just nuke the bosses, but in D4 each one is a straight up chore to kill.
Tears of the Kingdom… it’s a fun action adventure game, but if it has The Legend of Zelda on it, it needs to be held to The Legend of Zelda standards. And it, just like Breath of the Wild, is an awful Zelda game. If it didn’t have LoZ on it, I’d probably rate it much higher.
Bring Beer and Women to [apartment number]
That’s fine, I’ll install the open source App Store that replicates the functionality of those apps without the bullshit (or straight up has modified versions that remove that garbage).
Ah yes, each more sold out than the last.
It won’t be long before the MTX crosses from cosmetics to actual cut content. Want more levels past the first one? Pony up.
Remember when Oblivion’s $2.50 horse armor was laughed at? It still sold like hotcakes. This is the result of that.
Cough up, idiots who have more dollars than they do sense. While you’re at it I also have some real estate on the moon to sell you. Or maybe your own star. Too far away? Okay, maybe just some NFTs then.
And with a very specific weapon that has limited range, and other weapon pickups show up along the way. Grab one, you’re screwed.
Oh, so that’s what it’s like to access trauma-blocked memories from ages ago. Thanks OP.
It was a local restaurant run by a shady businessman who’s known for running less than good quality restaurants. Whatever, I figured, it was cheap and close to my house.
Except me and my family were served rotten meat when we ate there. The manager only wanted to give us a 20% discount. Like hell I’m paying for rotten food. Never again.
