We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Still looking for the one where the glitch is executed, but here is the outcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCHlTtBy8R8

Edit: Found it!

Recently discovered that the best glitch in Dead Space 2 is easily recreatable in 3, so I've been having lots of fun with it.

I love the murder physics in skyrim. I died in a dude's house once because I ran too fast and his kitchen just exploded and a dozen plates and sweet rolls just murdered my character.

It's so bizarre to me how they never quite got it to work that you pick up something up off the table and everything a foot away jumps.

I've been playing a skyrim mod recently and I'm not sure if it's something the mod did, but there's a decent chance that everything anywhere near a door while go flying all over the place when I open it.

In some places the items aren't ever actually on the surface, they're hovering like a millimeter above the table or whatever so when you take a fork every other item will just freak out and fall, bounce and physics around. It's really annoying in some locations because you'll enter a loading door, and then every object will drop that tiny distance and promptly roll through the world where you can never reach it again. And gently caress you because that happened to be the one item you needed to steal for a quest line and you can still see a tiny bit of it, but you can't physically touch it without using console commands.

I actually got permanently locked out of several of my houses because my cabbage rooms exploded and any time I tried to enter one the game would either kill me with cabbage physics or crash outright.

But that's not so much a glitch as it is a Bethesda game being a Bethesda game.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
My favorite Bethesda physics was when I was playing a heavily modded Oblivion, which included Midas Magic, a massive and awesome magic mod. My favorite spell in that was Astral Combat, which would teleport you and your target to a cell that was just a small floating island; you'd go back to where you were by jumping off, so the idea was that you'd vanish with one enemy, handle them one on one, and then go back to the action.

Since it was always the same cell, and that cell was actually a 'base' of sorts for the mod, I started taking enemies' weapons and shields when they died there and just piling them up on a corner of the island. Those items persisted, and I used Astral Combat a lot, so that pile got pretty big. Eventually though, one of the shields flipped out, sending most of the pile flying off into nothingness.

It was actually pretty awesome, but I remember being pissed at the time. I liked that pile!

It's also why I hate bethesda games because if any other game had these kind of glitches people would be rating them 0 and trying to burn the devs for charging more than five dollars.

That being said my personal favorite glitch is when mammoths spawn hundreds of feet in the air and the plains of skyrim are just filled with free falling mammoths. And it is always, and only, mammoths.

See, that's the charm though. It's absurd how popular Bethesda games are because by modern standards they're a piece of crap! I'm not sure what the average person gets from those games, but as a person who absolutely loves the nitty-gritty of games and their engines, Bethesda games are a treasure. With the tons of weird glitches, ease of moddability, easily-accessible (and much needed) console, free wall-walking and god-mode they're a "behind-the-scenes" dream. I don't really think that's their intention, but it's working!

Pro-Tip: In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, buy every available arm strength upgrade as soon as possible. This allows you to rocket corpses not dead people three blocks away into a crowd of bystanders/police with plenty of time to pick out a safe viewing balcony.

To put on my nerdy game dev hat for a second, the reason this happens is that physics is really hard and incredibly resource-intensive and Bethesda have a lot on their plate with every gargantuan game they try to make. So, most things don't actually have physics applied to them until something they're near to changes. If you pick up a thing off a table, that means that 'the table' changes, so everything that's theoretically on 'the table' has to suddenly run physics (because the thing you picked up might have been supporting it at an angle, for example), and everything attached to that has to run physics, and so on. This will continue to update until friction kills the motion enough that the game says "right, kill the physics until something around here changes again."

The thing is, they place the objects for how they look static, rather than for agreeing with their physics engine, because in addition to being inexorably ambitious Bethesda is also a pack of Alzheimer's-ridden goldfish when it comes to remembering whether this worked last time. Colliders tend to be built generous and simple, because if a thing clips it looks worse than if it kinda bounces a bit early, or rests a little bit high. So if a thing is too low and therefore its collider is technically intersecting the table (like a lot of silverware seems to be), it'll be pushed up when the table tells it to update. This is what causes the floating.

Now the obvious things they could do are 1. stop worrying about clipping so drat much or 2. force the designers to run physics on their item placements until it resolves before allowing that placement to be shipped out, but... it's Bethesda. They don't need to.

And also physics engines do
"oh no, items A and B intersect! If I move item A here and item B here, they are no longer intersect."
*next frame*
"Oh, I guess item A is moving to this direction (the moon) at this speed (escape velocity), so let's keep it moving into that direction"
*a few frames pass, item A hits the player character, player character is killed*

Clarence Beeftank is my favorite football player.

As for the bugs... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot . There may not be any one part of Madden that's literally 20 years old (especially considering the number of platforms it's gone through) but any project that undergoes continuous development for that length of time becomes a sort of software ship of Theseus and develops weird behavior there's no direct explanation for.
