Given my extensive experience with video games, it’s disappointing how few pressure plates we bump into in regular life. I’d like to drag a big rock over a pressure plate to escape the office one day

@shanselman
You're right! Why invest in pesky lazers and sensors when you can have giant buttons on the ground?

@shanselman hmm didn’t include bloke carrying a small armory shooting up the place in search of the blue keycard in my threat model

@shanselman on the other hand, I'm glad I won't get shot by poison arrows when stepping on that pressure plate

@shanselman can we also include various keys and key cards located in odd locations please.

@shanselman I can do stapler, keyboard, Excel macro on repeat, best offer.

@shanselman It's called "Escape Rooms", and they are everywhere 😄

@shanselman Does propping something against the powered door opener button count as triggering a pressure plate?

@shanselman Every automatic door in the 70s and into the early 80s was a pressure plate. We’ve moved beyond them to motion sensors that open for moths and sometimes not for people, but does that count?

@shanselman I sometimes bump into walls looking for secrets.
