#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

@ami_angelwings Interminably long intros in video games. Please, it’s been 45 minutes and I need some reassurance I won’t have to do this again. Just let me save.

@trashwizard I especially hate it when those intros involve you stuck in a "walk" animation and your aren't allowed to do anything else but walk along a preset path and look at what they tell you to look at, but YOU have to do this, it's not a cutscene, even though it could have been, at instead you're forced to just press forward while your character walks slower than anybody's ever walked in history

@ami_angelwings Otherwise? Media that gives you the juicy plot piece and then cliffhanger it to do boring things with the story. They just had their first real fight! Things are out into the open! She’s slapped him and thrown him out! Oh my god! It’s … time to do some puzzles on a side plot. Nooooooooooooooo
