Wanting to go to bed but at the same time wanting to finish the level that you're on.

The Groundhog-day feeling when replaying saves to find out where you went wrong. It's not just tedious, I honestly feel like I have trapped myself in a time loop.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Pressing the Quick Load button when you meant to press Quick Save. x_x

[up] Anyone who works with computers knows that feeling.

The absolute HORROR of your game freezing up after you've done a lot/gone a long way and you haven't saved in a long time (looking at you, Metroid Prime Trilogy and my stupid Wii remote).

[up] Or similarly, when a friend touches your game without permission and turns it off by accident without knowing that you hadn't saved it in a while (context: when I was a kid, my friend did this when I had been playing Pokémon SoulSilver and since I hadn't saved in a couple days, I lost a good chunk of my file).

When soccer players celebrate a goal by uppercutting the air, I always imagine an invisible ? Block surprising them.

THE SOUND. OF BUTTON PRESSING. OR KEY CLICKING.

UGHHHHH.

Grinding effort values and levels in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. I really miss the Sword and Shield's job features that let you do so without battling hordes of Pokémon. It's easy to lose track of specific values and trainers don't give you much experience.

Fusing two of your favourite games together and making a whole AU out of it. Or is that just me?

The device freezing up due to a glitch, thus meaning that you can't save your game, and then you lose a little bit of your progress. (This happened to me when I played Pokémon Scarlet and Violet- or more specifically, Violet; I got trapped on the map and couldn't leave, so I had to shut the whole thing down to get it working again. Since I hadn't saved in about twenty minutes, I had to fight Grusha again- keep in mind he was already difficult to fight. Dang.)
