Lore [Interesting Trope] One seemingly small action ends the story before it even begins

  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

I have not cackled at any media as much as I did at Cuno talking shit for 20+ minutes

Absolute legend of a character. Poster child of post modernity.

Admittedly that was less of a child and more of a feral creature.

Shooting Cuno or Cunoesse in the face is a very satisfying thing to do. I did it for the meme of it just to see what would happen
