If I see a campfire while playing a new game, I immediately try to walk in it to see if it causes damage.
I generally then go either "neat" if it does or "aww" if it doesn't, then continue about my business.
I do this too! I am most disappointed when there's an invisible wall around the fire... At least let me step in it, even if it does nothing.
A kindred spirit.
No I don't
110% of the time. But I don't just walk through it or jump into it willy-nilly. I ease my way to the flames so I understand how close I can get. Haha
This was me then minutes ago haha
This is the way.
Yes I do it so I can build a baseline of things to avoid throughout my playthrough.
It's like trying on a shoe for the first time.
True gamer move.
It’s a requirement by the gods that all gamers must step in fire as an in-game initiation
No, I do however check if I can jump into water or if I can flush the toilet.
I'm always disappointed, if I can't flush it....
Step in the fire
See if I can swim
Jump off various cliffs
These are mandatory to check.
Mandatory
Fire, water, acid, gas, anything that has the potential to hurt usually. Usually followed by immediately trying to go left in 2D games or down the clearly unintentional path in 3D games, can never know where they'll hide the collectables!
You missed pet the dogs
Ah yes! Seeing if you can interact with the animals!
Yup. And if it doesn’t i proceed to teabag the fire just to mock it.

I step in water to see if there's gonna be a stupid swim level or quest later
I also always try to shoot TVs and light bulbs, if they are not destructable I'm always dissapointed

Yes, right after I try to jump off the nearest cliff and kill story-critical NPCs.
