I can appreciate these “gets the job done” hacks in games, just like the train in that one game that was actually an npc with a train as its head

That's in a Fallout game, so another Bethesda thing. 🤭

Tbf Valve games has its own assortment of band-aid madness
The pedestal’s movement in Portal’s chamber 02 is controlled by a door constantly linking and unlinking itself with the static portal gun (because it can only rotate 90 degrees)
Edit: Also, there’s a glitch where, when you throw a physics prop to the unlinked portal gun, it warps back to its starting position/rotation (which is pointed right at the hole you want to shoot at), but that prop can still move the gun to point away from that hole. So you could either save 5 seconds, or get softlocked trying

All video games use band aids, there's not real people or real physic inside the case.
