What are some things that just get under your skin about games?

For me, it’s games that do not allow controller rebinding. I have neuropathy and my fingers don’t all work. If I can’t rebind buttons so that I have necessary moves (for example: parry) be on buttons I can reliably press the entire game becomes unplayable.

And on console, where I can’t refund a game after I downloaded it (fuck you Sony) then it really screws me over wasting what limited funds I have on games I just can’t play.

        in old dos games “boss key” was usually ctrl+b or ESC

        I never understood the point until I grew up a bit.

      Alaternatively, PUBG lets you quit to desktop from the in-game pause menu, and I’ve hit it accidentally so many times.

        *flashbacks to The Forest pause menu having the exit game button in the same place as the back button*

        So many times I backed out of settings by double clicking and accidentally closed the entire game and thus the multiplayer lobby I was hosting

      Honestly this is my favorite feature of the Steam Deck and SteamOS. I can (and do) even shut down the entire PC in the middle of a game.
