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

      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”

        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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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

      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.

    • And you never know if it will be qwerty or alphabetical.

    • You have to open the option menu for capitalization

    • Special characters are all in submenus under the letters

    • There is no backspace

    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

    I once got a couple of Amazon Echo Dots as part of a promo. Little spherical devices with about a 3" round touchscreen. To set it up you had to enter your Amazon account info by tapping a keyboard on that tiny screen.

    My password at the time was a random 80 character string, full of special characters. That would have been painful enough, but the password entry box would hide each character a second or so after typing, so it was nearly impossible to keep track of where I was, and whether I had skipped or double entered something.

    I should have just binned them immediately at that point, but I spent probably an hour of typing passwords on those two fuckers–more out of stubbornness than anything else.

    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.

    sport competition idea.

    we randomly choose a bad text input method, see who can type the fastest, 3 errors and you’re eliminated.

    T9 keyboard, game controller, remote control, VR point and shoot…

    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.
