If you sleep in bunkbeds in Morrowind they have a chance of getting stuck in between the beds and can't move. They just shout at you and you can kill them while they are helpless. It's hilarious. Also their armor is worth so much and so good for so much of the game that I personally just choose to never use or sell it because it kind of murders the difficulty of the game.
I got on my horse while Skyrim was still sorting itself after starting up. For a minute or two it would sometimes briefly lose track of how I was supposed to be positioned relative to my horse. And that was how I briefly became a horse acrobat! Spoiler Look at me, Lydia! Yeah nobody in this scene is excited but me, not even the horse. Fine, fine. Away we go, then. Fuck damn I'm good!
I just realized this thread did not contain any of the legendary category: Dwarf Fortress bugs. A few classics from across the game's lengthy history: Creatures gained stats from using any skill. Consequently, aquatic creatures, which were literally always using the "Swimming" skill, rapidly became Superdwarvenly Fast/Strong/Tough killing machines. Because of a mistake in the temperature settings, dwarves melted in the rain in hot biomes. Forgetting to change the size of groups that giant versions of small animals appear in, resulting in sky-darkening swarms of hundreds of giant mosquitoes that kill both your framerate and all of your dwarves Giant sponges are literally immortal and can somehow push dwarves to death despite being immobile. Vampires blaming their kills on babies and livestock When a dwarf picked up a beehive, your fortress wealth would instantly skyrocket because every single bee was assigned a minimum monetary value Due to a complicated issue with area permissions and artifact creation, somebody accidentally ended up with a limestone statue engraved with, apparently, the entire history of the universe and 73 pictures of itself By locking dwarves in a room with a constantly-cycling spike trap full of crappy wooden spears, they will rapidly become incredible masters of combat by dodging/blocking/parrying the spikes. Similar effects can be achieved by piling coins/socks/seeds/other convenient debris on a drawbridge and lifting it to launch the junk at the dwarves. "Babies no longer start strapped with a knife"
Oh oh the wealth thing was even better than that fortress wealth affects the strength of the things that showed up to try to kill your fortress so picking up a beehive drastically increased the strength of your enemies also the recursive limestone statue was, appropiately, called Planepacked
I got accidentally buried in megabeasts because I decorated too many walls so many times. As the wiki puts it, "either the designs engraved upon it are minutely fractal, or where Planepacked stands the universe folds."
@Verily this was posted in a Discord without comment and I immediately thought of your horse adventures. Spoiler: gif
for some reason in surviving mars sometimes resource deposits etc are invisible until i go to buy something. i don't know if this is a surviving mars glitch, or the fault of one of my many mods.
In Ori and the Will of the Wisps, if you press Jump and Light Burst at the same time and hold them Ori will rise a large distance into the air. More annoyingly, sometimes light bursts are randomly offset from Ori and in at least one place they're consistently offset from Ori, which really sucks when you're playing rando, need light burst to get anywhere, have low energy and your light burst gets offset downwards into the floor. Yes this happens just often enough to be a specific gripe. Also, if you press sword and sentry at the same time while holding up, one of the animations (sword upslash/Ori jumping into the air while spawning a sentry) cancels the vertical deceleration of the other and Ori goes flying upwards. In the air, the timing is different - you have to press one of the buttons some frames after the other button - but if you can get the timing right you can chain aerial sentryjumps as long as you have energy and can keep up the timing, which got called butterflight because the sentries look like little fighty butterflies. And for some reason you can rapidly switch control schemes between two different ones in-game somehow and this slows the game down to like 5fps for as long as you keep doing it. This gets used in speedruns to make Ori go through walls.
All the vanilla chests in one of my minecraft modpacks have turned into alien geometry eldritch things that are put together fundamentally wrong and clip through walls, leaving triangles of wrongness extending out like four blocks behind them. They still work the same though. They're just bad to look at. There is probably a short story in there somewhere. Oh and apparently this is a Create bug somehow
