Nah, that’s merely “Heck.” In Hell you use a TV remote.

Nah, in hell its answering Captchas that can't be answered:

"To get out of hell and go to heaven, simply click on the fruit pictured that has the same weight as mathmatics"

[-] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The worst circle of hell is just normal Captchas.

Click verify once no pictures of bicycles remain but there are always more bicycles, then after 30 days of that it starts again with crosswalks.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

At least there are some remotes that use T9

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

In hell you use a tv remote with a gyro pointer and on-screen keyboard. And it has a slight, but random, delay.

How do I know this is torture? My partner has one and because it feeds through multiple devices, it has a slight but random delay. And it’s the most frustrating experience of all time. Souls-like games on nightmare are likely less frustrating (and this comes from someone who can’t finish any of them on the lowest difficulty).

One that sometimes lags and doesn't type what you pressed... then catches up and double-types or omits part of it.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

My tv remote is motion so that's not really too bad. Point and click.

[-] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

hey i also used to have a Wii

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

That's the upper level. On the lower level you use a remote control, and there's tons of input lag.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

"@" and "." need to be accessed by a separate punctuation page.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] yum@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No, it is just endlessly looking up and trying to get a movie to play on Paramount+

[-] Hagdos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Aka a TV remote

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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. :(

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And the onscreen keyboard is in reverse alphabetic order

[-] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Minimum 18 characters, must use caps, lower case, punctuation, numbers, and at least 4 special symbols.

[-] ClipperDefiance@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Typing with a controller really isn't that bad. That's more like a purgatory thing. Hell would be having to use a television remote.

[-] weegee90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

With a different on screen keyboard everytime. Some QWERTY, some A-Z. Some with with a separate section with capital letters instead of a shift button.

[-] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Challenge accepted.

[-] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Me who already does this on PS5

"I thought hell would be worse."

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The keyboard is also neither ABC or QWERTY. It completely randomizes with every character selected and there is no backspace.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

QWERTY except it randomly swaps two characters every time you get comfortable.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

As someone who grew up inputing passwords in Mega Drive games with one: there are worst things.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

It's in alphabetical order not qwerty

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And the passwords are random gibberish, and every time you enter in the password the letter location scrambles.

[-] raina@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

The closest I got to hell recently is trying to get Australia Post's imbecilic voice 'recognition' software to understand an alphanumeric code over and over and over...

[-] Zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Sin, crime doesn't necessarily cause damnation in most mainstream religions that have a Hell

[-] Weslee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Games controller is no way near as bad as TV remote, the delay alone makes it so much more frustrating

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

TV remote, and it doesn't wrap around to the other side of the letter box.

[-] toddestan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Hell would be having to input it using voice typing

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

It blows my mind that in many cases I can't use my voice to enter text in fucking 2025.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

as someone with an accent, may I beat you up with a 1997 modem for asking for more voice input?

those things are a nightmare.

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

I'm pissed that it worked better in 2019 vs 2025. (At least for Google's voice recognition)

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Honestly, I kind of want the old assistant back. I don't find Gemini any more useful for my use cases. It feels dumber sometimes.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm even more pissed that my old Motorola flip phone could dial by voice on the device, but my current pocket supercomputer running the latest Android can't do it without recording my audio and sending it to a server somewhere to be processed in the "cloud," and doesn't even work if I'm standing somewhere with spotty data service.
