Someone was expressing their distress that a certain game now introduced a mechanic where the player had to travel between locations. “What is the point?” they said, “the play time was already (x) days, now it’s just unnecessarily longer without additional content!”

I was now in someone’s office and in one corner of the room was a urinal with a platform in front of it that was raised via a crank on the side. It went counterclockwise once to unlock it and then one could turn it clockwise 10 times for varying heights. The differing heights were marked with “x/10” engraved onto the red metal plating next to the crank.
