Footnote: The film documentary series that refers to “the Hollywood bauble” is the excellent The Story of Film: An Odyssey (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_...)

Come for the Irish accent of the presenter, stay for a comprehensive discussion of film that includes a rundown of the different styles that arose in different countries.

err, and I am getting too old for:

shooters

platformers

waiting for the characters to say their lines when I have subtitles on

waiting for the text box to finish scrolling the text

cutscenes in general

tutorials that tell me to use the left joystick to move

"after 20 hours, it really opens up"

final boss fights that are 2 boss fights in a row without a chance to heal or restock items

the last 1/3 of a strategy game when you are the clear superpower

Rockstar game controls

half-assed stealth sections

I have always been too old for stealth sections.

I do better at stealth sections if they never give me the option to blast my way through it.
