    Gamers when there’s a giant alien spider behind the waterfall (it’s already jumped at you and is screaming):

    For a long time, I’ve been disappointed any time going behind a waterfall didn’t drag me somewhere far away, or even just put me into a difficult-to-escape or even lethal trap.

    Is it original? Not even a little.

    But that’s why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.

    Honestly, I’m cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)

    So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.

    If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there’s one, I’m content.

    And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there’s nothing else.

    Fuck’s sake devs, how’re you gonna put a space behind the waterfall for me to walk into, and not even put a coin there, or something? LoZ: LttP! Zora’s Waterfall! It’s a time-honored tradition! If you put a waterfall there, you put something cool behind it to find. Always satisfying. Devs who honor the tradition are GOAT.

      They did it on purpose, just to troll you.

      Every time I go through a waterfall and find nothing, I give the devs a virtual tip of my virtual trilby and virtually congratulate them on a virtual ruse virtually executed, because they virtually got me. Good virtual one, virtual guys.

      The next waterfall always has something behind it.
