        There is a famous short story called "The Hounds of Tindalos" in which that happens. Still can't figure out whether the pulp writer just got carried away or whether he meant it as a joke.

      I know that it exists but I can't remember a single game it happened in unironically.

      It's funny that people usually complain about these "tropes" but when it's time to point out where they have seen them they can't do it.
      Because most of the time the tropes are not actually overused; it's the complaining homosexuals that bring them up instead.

        or maybe people just get so tired from seeing a trope they just become numb to it instead of being upset for #th time

      It's honestly fine and nitpicky but either the tunnel fonz decided to not bother clearing debris from the jump, or the bike was filled with rubble because against all known tunnel lore rubble doesn't just grow under objects that in theory have never been moved.

      But also: Frick it, I get the joke, I get it was coded in the cum-powered steam engine of gamebryo and I'm fine with it, I like the dangly skeleton even though skeletons don't work like that. Hell I'm even fine with car head people. If it fricking works that's a step up from most shit on gamebryo. This was an extremely elaborate post just for you to inspect the 6 at the end.

        Maybe all the years the rubble was blown about and gathered around the stationary object, like sand around a post.

    for some reason, my first thought goes to DXHR, jensen's room, vintage analog technology around like mechanical clocks he was fixing, broken mirror and email related to that. guess it was a game from the era where "environmental storytelling" was becoming a defined thing, or a meme if you will

    An Odo's shaped vodoo doll on Abigail's Hut in The Witcher counts as environmental storytelling? I'm not sure because the game explicitly tell you that this is a vodoo doll that looks like Odo. I can't find a picture, but it's something like this. You click on the doll and Gerald say something about it. I guess this pic qualifies as environmental storytelling as well then.
