I get infuriated by video game marketing campaigns. I hate trailers of video games that don't show actual gameplay footage. The hype that's created around in development games that people buy into even before anyone knows the game is any good makes me want to burn video game companies to the ground.

Yeah, they did that for all the playstation Gran Turismos: the ads only showed the cgi-rendered cutscenes and never the actual gameplay.

Advertising in general, actually. At some point it crossed the line between emotional manipulation into outright psychological warfare. The truly infuriating thing is that, once you've figured out their tricks, you start to see those tricks everywhere. Your brain is in constant defensive analysis mode because you don't believe jack shit the media tells you.
Viewing the world through a lens of "what are these fucking lying parasites trying to sell me now" is really fucking tiresome. We're already inhaling data at a rate the species is ill-equipped to deal with: having to perform constant analysis on that data because everyone is paid to lie...
tl;dr: Bill Hicks was right. Again.

I wanted to play this atmospheric walking simulator in a beautiful environment however I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest because the creator forced a shoddy filter over everything with no way to remove it. Little to no graphics options all because the creator never wants to see or know his walking simulator is being seen any other way.

League of Legends.
I dunno nothing else ever makes me mad. That game just unnecessarily tilts me, I can see why the community is so infamous for being toxic. The game is toxic.

When people call things "8 bit" or "16 bit" to refer to a general vibe. Even worse when they extend this to more modern generations. Almost nobody does this nowadays thank fuck but people honest to God called the fifth gen "128 bit consoles" and it drove me up the wall

I used to be annoyed by people saying that they were going to "Format their operating system" or "Format their computer". I'm a bit annoyed by people using 16:10 to denote a screen ratio, where the fully reduced fraction is 8:5. And on the same subject, annoyed when people use the W prefix in front of resolutions that are already wide (like, WQHD - that should be properly called just QHD). I guess all the above fall into the category of simply being too pedantic. A "proper speech nazi", if you will. None of these are real issues. For things that actually have meaning... oh, I don't know. DVD regions, I guess. I've always said that DVD regions are a crime against humanity. Think about it - a bunch of corporate suits came with a scheme that causes unlimited, unbounded and never-ending annoyances to billions of legitimate customers, does not even deter pirates, and was not even devised as an anti-piracy measure, but merely on some outrageous idea that a person who purchased a movie in one region of the world should not have the right to play it in a different region, because maybe the publisher did not want it released there. And not only the persons who came up with this did not get shot - no, they have since extended this anti-human practice to BluRay. With all the ridiculous crap the EU is legislating, I would totally support if they passed a law that bans the concept of regions completely, and forces every manufacturer of a physical player to provide region-free firmware to all users, at no cost, and send the bill to the MPAA. Yes, I know I can just pirate everything, but it's not about getting stuff for free. It's about punishing the bad people.

DVD regions is some real media controlling price-fixing BS where companies are overstepping their bounds. Fortunately VLC Player just overrides that bullshit.
BluRay is a real piece of shit format, own by Sony which uses java for its menus. If anyone has a good recommendation for player software please let me know. My drive came with nothing but burner and miscellaneous software and I would gladly buy quality software. All the free ones and free trials sucked so far.
Back in the day, people calling Goldeneye 007 the greatest shooter ever or saying it's better than Doom. I'll give it more credit than I used to for being a decent console shooter and it's respectable that people have hacked new maps into it.
Smart TV's with a delay in their display or no composite inputs are garbage.

The lack of Graphics options on Unity games. A potato's worst nightmare. Oh yeah, that. Hopefully someday, There will be at least slight changes to that by the Unity Team. It could happen...

So it is unity's fault? i always thought it was lazy indie developers. I honestly do not know for sure who is truly at fault for Unity not having much in the way of Graphics settings, TBH. Sure, lazy indie devs not optimizing enough is a thing, but the full answer as to who bears the brunt of this problem, I don't know.

Another thing that induces nerd rage in me is when I think about the pre-Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe being completely thrown out of the window lore-wise in mid-2014. TOO FUCKING FAR, BOB IGER AND KATHLEEN "TOWELGIRL GYNOCENTRIST" KENNEDY!! All that lore from 1978 up to 2012, the Year Disney bought Lucasfilm for about $4.05 billion dollars. Attachment Deleted Though, to be fair, they did re-introduce some EU characters, locations, and species back into Canon, like with putting Thrawn into Rebels, along with the mention of the Sharu and showing The Maw region in SOLO, among a few other things.

When a command line application doesn't throw an error when you supply it incorrect command line parameters. Looking at dsda-doom (and PrBoom) for when I mistype the `-record` option and the damn thing merrily plays on and I think it's recorded a demo but it hasn't. Very frustrating and breaks expected command line UI norms.

Very frustrating and breaks expected command line UI norms. Not to sidetrack, but have you considered filing a bug/request?Those do get attention for those ports. Since I'm posting in this thread, I suppose I will contribute as well... The word "retro" being misused to indicate bad graphics or poor game design, and imply it was somehow an intentional choice because, hey, it's "retro."

People calling games that vaguely resemble the genre ‘Roguelike’. Makes my blood boil.

Very frustrating and breaks expected command line UI norms. I just used this in my command line a couple of minutes ago: prboom-plus.exe -file .\Cyber110.wad -deh .\Cyber110.deh -nomusic -complevel 2 -shorttics -skill 4 -warp 31 -recprd cy31m.lmp and oftentimes, I drop the "-" and type something like: -warp 31 record cy31m.lmp

I dislike how Sony went woke with their game content policies regarding certain sexual themes on PS4 as well as PS5. The Sony restructuring to the SF Bay Area was a fucking mistake. This all-regions restriction on devs regarding certain themes (especially when it comes to anime tropes) is bullshit fucktarded nonsense. Then there's the TLOU2 fiasco, shitting on the fans, and Neil Druckmann's tumor-sized ego.
