Congrats, I think you've found an angry bird!
Man, I found those to be such a pain.
Unintentionally hilarious things in games...

I always tried to avoid them.
But there is one quest where you have to find machine blood for this guy. You have to kill a stormbird for the blood.
Yeah, I think I remember that quest. From somewhere in the NW area of the map, right?
One disadvantage of those robot animals is in the lack of biome specific diversity. I know it's an odd thing to nitpick, but the game has quite distinct biomes, but you seem to have the same animals all over, for the most part.

I thought that was Fable. What is it with these RPG's and their chickens?
Skyrim is less extreme than some. You can hit someone, then pay out 40 gold as a fine. I had a wooden sword with 1 hp shock damage, I called it the Naughty Stick. Whenever certain obnoxious characters would sass me, I'd swat them with the Naughty Stick. Then hand over 40 of the 150,000 or so gold I was carrying to clear my bounty.
Just be careful not to accidentally kill them, or the bounty jumps to 1000.

Chickens are valuable. Why, just today, the police were called in my area to rescue one due to the snow.
Clearly haven't been around chickens. They are not smart.
They’re not smart, and they’re also fucking mean.
And racist. My Leghorns kept pecking at the Rhode Island Reds.

Yeah, I have a similar problem with two Bard Rocks. So irritating.
I was in the middle of playing a level in Mario Maker and I managed to jump/slide into the save point flag and then slide right off the platform and into the lava. Fml. Yay momentum lmao.
They are dinos after all
The games I play are much tamer than those listed here - an assortment of hidden object, match-3, time management, solitaire, jigsaw puzzles, mah-jongg, board games, etc.
One of my favorite game series is Jewel Match. There are two varieties, Solitaire and Match-3, and involves earning gems and stars that can be used to build some really lovely castle scenes (I'm using one for my desktop wallpaper).
Anyway, there are ambient sounds in the background for these scenes, and most settings are some type of woodland. So naturally there are lots of bird sounds...
... which is normally fine, until you get to the Jewel Match Atlantis game. The setting is underwater, the castles are underwater...
And you can still hear the owls hooting softly as you build your underwater edifices. I brought this up on the gaming forum I belong to (the one where some of the game devs also hang out to interact with the people who buy their games; they want feedback and suggestions for future games), and the dev was embarrassed to realize that they hadn't thought of changing the background ambient sounds to something non-woodland for a game that takes place entirely underwater.
They went overboard, though... the latest one that takes place on land and does include trees does not have any owl sounds.
I told them I like owls just fine. Just not underwater.
Now here's another unintentionally funny thing in a game that goes back decades. Anyone here remember the original Trivial Pursuit game? There's one question that my grandmother had no idea was a typo and got mad at me when I said the question made no sense:
"Name the winged hose in Greek mythology."
I had visions of a garden hose lazily flapping its wings around the yard. The right answer is, of course, Pegasus.

I play a lot of JRPGs which have become more and more anime inspired lately, and I think I finally put my finger on the thing that bothers me most about them.
They're 'Pervitanical'.
They have pervy fanservice, while at the same time holding their characters to Puritanical standards of sexual morality. Sometimes it gets ridiculous to the point of being funny. Characters practically wearing bathing suits into combat then getting embarrassed at the slightest suggestion they're interested in someone, or angry that anyone might be interested in them, even treating them like a monster when they inevitably accidentally walk in on them in a compromising situation. It's like Puritanism with less clothing.
They managed to combine sex exploitation and sex shaming.

A neat trick, that.
There a reverse of the "unintentional hilarity" issue in "Dead Rising 2" and "Off the Record"... a combo weapon intended to look ridiculous (the Super Slicer) is one of the most ferocious implements of destruction in the game. And in "Off the Record", amazing for the speed challenges.
