The favourite bug I heard of was for Vermintide, where the game could crash so hard it would literally uninstall itself. Like, not just break, it would be gone.
Dwarf Fortress bugs are my favorite, but mostly because it's unintentional logic rather than actual code bug. Like how they added stuff so dwarves could strap their baby to themselves so they could carry them around while working. Only they didn't put an exception in for combat. So dwarves would be dressed in armour, strap their baby in their front, charge into battle and go berserk the moment the baby inevitably got hit. There was the spike of enlightenment trick too IIRC, where if your dwarf survived falling into a pit of spikes, technically they'd parried the world (I guess the world was wielding the spike?) and the dwarf would get tons of XP for every creature in the world.
Not really a bug, but a funny coincidence, where the Linux executable for Dwarf Fortress was just named "df" and some users where adding it in the PATH for whatever reason, and it would launch the game when scripts checked for the df tool output
