A nice post prompt, OP. To start, and to riff off yours, I'd say games that don't have a run option, and insist on a milquetoast in between of "fast-walking." Here are mine that I can think of from some of the most recent games I've played:

–No third-person viewing option in an RPG; e.g., Cyberpunk 2077. After readily having the option in my hundreds of combined hours in Skyrim and FO, it felt preposterous not having the option to view my character at will. Crazy.

–Needlessly loud start menu music or fx leading to the title screen

–I'm doubtful there's any sort of terminology for this, but, mission-style games that don't make any attempt to establish a linear, interlocking world. E.g., Nioh. It's very souls-like overall, but I really wish this aspect of the game was more like a From game in this regard.

Might edit in some more if this post stays active.

Man, she was so disturbingly good in that. Her scenes unnerved me significantly more than the ones of Leto and Connelly—and they were on freaking heroin!

No kidding... How strange they both were UK serial baby killers. And Beverley Allitt was convicted before her 25 birthday if I looked at it right. She was caught in '91, so she was doing it as a 23-year-old girl...

ETA: they were both mid-twenties when the murders occurred. I don't know why I got hung up on that, it is just shocking to me that they were so young and doing something so deplorable. I just imagine some older deranged woman doing something like that. Either way...unreal.

I love it when Hank sprays chains

After hearing stuff like this it always makes me reaffirm that Rush Limbaugh was one of the most dangerous, deplorable people to have the unfortunate opportunity to have a platform. Truly one of the most pernicious people to ever speak into a microphone. I don't know if this is a bit of a non-sequitur, but I feel like this guy would've been a staunch listener.

Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!

You're right, she should've eaten it. It was SNL after all; maybe that would've gotten a more enticing ambivalent reaction.

She didn't burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn't held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don't even remember what she did.

I was actually slightly interested in this when I first saw the gameplay, but after seeing a bit of the dialogue in a trailer I was flabbergasted by how cringey it was. It seems like it was written by a teenager who just got done watching pulp fiction for the first time and wanted to see how many cuss words they could cram into each sentence.

I always use them whether playing a game or watching a film; definitely if I'm watching a documentary.

I left after the front page continually recommended the "call her daddy" podcast to me over and over again despite my listening history that couldn't be further from that "content."

Man, I have such vivid memories of going to Toys R Us for the first time (and subsequent times after that, honestly) and being in total awe that the entire store was dedicated to kids' stuff. It's really sad that kids won't get to experience that anymore... I know tech is at the forefront of entertainment, regardless of age, but I would wager any kid would love the same kind of toys we had just as much.
