And the passwords are random gibberish, and every time you enter in the password the letter location scrambles.
Challenge accepted.
Hell would be having to input it using voice typing
Minimum 18 characters, must use caps, lower case, punctuation, numbers, and at least 4 special symbols.
As someone who grew up inputing passwords in Mega Drive games with one: there are worst things.
Question: Do I have a choice on what controller I use?
For some reason, I imagined the controller scheme of a Wii and using the pointer controls to type each letter
The first level of the game is called “input a 3000 word essay on why you are in hell”
Any spelling mistakes will require a full do over.
Depending on your crime the return/erase button may be disabled.
Sin, crime doesn't necessarily cause damnation in most mainstream religions that have a Hell
I vote the PS3 Onscren Keyboard.
Other systems like the PSP and Xbox are actually usable in a way. But the PS3 is hateful. Spaces when you don’t want them. Unintuitive button layout and use. Laggy interface. It has it all.
That's the upper level. On the lower level you use a remote control, and there's tons of input lag.
Also the keys sometimes get stuck, and the keyboard closes without saving your input when you press up in the top row.
Oh wait, that's just Android TV. :(
and its not the fancy bluetooth one on new TVs where you can point it anywhere, but good old infrared, aiming and all. All the while the batteries are half dead/not slotted correctly so you have to open it up and roll it around a bit to hit the g-spot so it works.
And the onscreen keyboard is in reverse alphabetic order
Aka a TV remote
Also the passwords are in a key manager and are 30 random characters. You have to look at your phone and manually enter them one character at a time via the remote.
"@" and "." need to be accessed by a separate punctuation page.
No, it is just endlessly looking up and trying to get a movie to play on Paramount+
AND ghost clicks. And just enough time of input lag to make you click again, just to see the key being pressed twice, and now you have to go to the backspace button
Don't forget the endless TFA challenges, which will either never arrive, will arrive after the code is expired, or the code just won't work.
Me who already does this on PS5
"I thought hell would be worse."
They're new credentials every time and the passwords are 32char randomized strings that include equal amounts of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters.
and I/l and 0/O are nearly indistinguishable.
The keyboard is also neither ABC or QWERTY. It completely randomizes with every character selected and there is no backspace.
QWERTY except it randomly swaps two characters every time you get comfortable.
Speed runneres entered the chat
TV remotes are worse often, they add a bit of delay, worse buttons, and a 50% chance of any given input not being registered
At least in a gamepad the directional buttons are consistent.
I have a STB where text input is solely via the D-pad plus color buttons for Shift/Num/Backspace/Confirm. Pretty normal except the number pad has the telephone-style alphabet printed, which I would very much prefer.
Eh, beats finding yourself in that complete breakdown of a process where you're having to recite your email address character by character to a person who somehow is both
a) judging YOU and
b) unsure the part after the @ can actually be something besides gmail.com.
Roku has entered the chat
I like that Roku gives the microphone button. I keep forgetting to use it but it's a lot more convenient than typing.
On an Alphabet order keyboard
I did this to my boss once. I noticed he was using one of those ghastly low-throw 'boards that show up with all the cheap entry level Dells and Amazon refurbished pieces of shit, and unlike on a real keyboard the profile is the same on all of the keys on those, regardless of which row they're on.
So I rearranged all of his letters into alphabetical order. For good measure, I created a custom keyboard "language" layout that actually make it type that way, too. He put up with it for nearly an entire day before giving up and asking me for a different keyboard.
Actually...
I just had a poke around in the supply room. I still have it:
Real keyboards can also have the same profile on keys my man. You have KAM, XDA and DSA.
