  • @schizanon @gaming Thatโ€™s part of why Iโ€™m always surprised at how much people will rail on bugs in games now. I mean sure if a bug makes a game literally impossible to complete, rail away. But half the stuff people complain about are things that when I was a kid would have been treated as hilarious quirks and possibly things vital to the ability to speed run the games.
