  I thought Stray- Productive Day would be on here. You get a whole silver trophy for letting the cat sleep for an hour

  The fact that the song playing over the credits after that FarCry 4 decision moment is 'Should I Stay or Should I Go?' is just... chef's kiss.

  Stanley Parable has a couple of endings/trophies for waiting around doing nothing on different places, like the ending for never leaving your office at the start, or the easter egg interactions for waiting around on the broom closet. Also, there's a trophy for not even playing the game for 10 years

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9PwiD7U6aM&amp;t=165">2:45</a> A third way to defeat The End in MGS3, but this one requires you to be really, really quick. When The End first makes an appearance, you&apos;re some distance away and he&apos;s in his wheelchair. You get control of your character just as a minion takes the chair and wheels him away -- but if you&apos;re really quick with your sniper rifle, you can shoot an explosive barrel near them. Time it just right, and you blow it up (and them with it), and the game totally skips the fight.

  The World Ends With You. You get different kinds of experience depending on what you&apos;re doing and you get Shut Down Pin Points (SDPP) for turning the game off, letting time pass, &nbsp;and it&apos;s actually key to evolve pins to specific other pins.

  How did you miss making the cat sleep for one continuous real-time hour in Stray? (Especially looking at you, Ellen)

  The GameBoy game WarioLand 2 started the first level with Wario asleep in bed and an alarm-clock going off. You&apos;re supposed to get up and spend the first level tracking down the clock to smash the clock, but you could instead just not press anything for a couple of minutes, leaving Wario asleep. &nbsp;Doing so gets you not just a unique ending, but a path of 5 whole levels you can&apos;t reach in any other way leading up to that unique ending!

  I&apos;m surprised no one has brought up the fight with Gogo in Final Fantasy V. You&apos;re supposed to beat him by doing literally nothing and then you get a crystal shard and the mime job. In fact, if you choose to fight normally, he&apos;s the strongest boss in the game.

  In the original Ruby and Sapphire, in order to unlock Regice, you have to wait in the room it exists in for 2 minutes without doing anything

  &quot;Patient deceased&quot; straight into cheery Sonic the Hedgehog music was whiplash I was entirely unprepared for

  In Bug Fables, the bank awards you interest on your account every 15 minutes. Leave the game running long enough and you&apos;ll have enough to buy everything you could ever want with 90% of the story left.
