The internal logic and physics of video games are often hilariously absurd, like when you're walking through a forest and suddenly a tiny stick somehow completely obstructs your path, forcing you to traverse a treacherous mountain just to get around it. Of course, in real life, you'd just kick the stick away or simply walk over it. But in a video game, the devs get to guide your every decision through a series of obstacles and predetermined options. And no matter how ridiculous those options might seem, you either have to fully embrace the absurdity or just stop playing.
