For many years, I thought all function keys were combinations. For example, I thought "f5" meant "hold f and press 5".
I grew up on a windows 95 that booted into a menu. Before I learned how to read, I watched my mom select options from the menu and assumed she had memorized the other. I didn't know reading existed.
>>736819231>the other*the order
I didn't understand how to open zip files until I was around 20 years old.
>>736819402Why? How
>>736819231Were you like 2 years old or did your parents just never read to you
>>736819061When i was a kid I spent so long in the deku tree, like a week of game sessions dont know exactly how long, because I never realized the deku sticks could be lit on fire and was trying to figure out how to burn the basement web.I made up for it though and the water temple was piss easy.
>>736819061Until I read your post I didn't know that the 'f' in f1-f-12 keys was for function
>>736819061I am unbelievably retarded when it comes to remembering where to go in games. I just brute force myself backtracking through rooms I've already been in until I found out where to go.
>>736819402unless you were on linux or mac, that's inexcusable. I think even windows XP had a built in zip tool
>>736819061I had to google the golden claw puzzle. There I said it.
The owl statue tells you to kill these things in a certain order. Problem is, it doesn't tell you to kill them, it just gives you the order. Second problem is that I didn't know what any of these enemies were called, so I had genuinely no idea what it was talking about.
>>736819061I didnt know how to open the windows explorer until I got trained for an IT job lmaoit was always pinned in the task bar or I just clicked on "my computer" on the desktop
>>736819061I used to go to cybercafes and steal the most desktop shortcuts I could and transfer them to my mini laptop.Then mald at my home when the games wouldn't work.I couldn't fathom data and data compression until I was like 12.
>>736824604lmfao
>>736819061How didn't you notice them on the top row of the keyboard?
>>736825167Not every keyboard has them. Smaller ones usually have a function key instead of a row of F keys.
>>736825397Literally every single keyboard I had always had those, including notebook keyboards.What kind of cucked 40% keyboard are you using? A gamepad?
>>736825478I'm not that original anon, I've never had one of those keyboards, but they exist
>>736819061When I played XCOM as a kid I didn't understand the concept of capturing aliens alive so inevitably I'd get stuck and game would never end.
>>736819061I got scammed/sharked out of my $120 TF2 item because, at the time, I didn't know the difference between festive and festivized items (latter being worth much much less)
When I played Animal Crossing New Leaf for the first time it took me almost two weeks to realize I could sell more than one item at a time.
After graduating from using the arrow keys as WASD, instead of actually using WASD, I used mouse2 as W. Not really sure why.

>>736823015Lmao same.
>>736828156Do you remember when you graduated from using inverted Y axis or that didn't happen to you?
>>736830371I used it in Halo 1 but eventually switched out of it.
>>736821052I was 4 and they read to me all the timeBut I thought they were inventing a story from the pictures
>>736819061I was stuck in Shining Force for 2 years because I did not realize you were supposed to inspect the jail door for Kris to come and let you out.I just thought that was the bad end of the game and kept replaying from the start when I got there.
I didn't know how to be performing the javascripts until I learned a lesson from prof barubi, please be recommend
I always used to press the power button to turn off my family’s windows xp pc
i played all of black souls 1 with two rings and without running
>>736819061>be me>playing wasteland remastered >looking for android parts in the sewer>can’t find head>look everywhere >go in and out of entire area multiple times >think it glitched so reload save>still nothing>stop playing the game for a year (365 days to the date)>play it again>find wall with area behind it that was in area i went through a dozen times >smash it down with hammer>killbot ambushes party after going in by one square>kill it >drops android head >mfw
>>736819402this is my little brother even now
I was stuck on Xemnas for a month as a kid because I didn't know you could press triangle for the laser dome so Riku kept dying.
>>736819061maybe not vidya, but this sticked with me longer than it should havewhen I was a kid in elementary school being taught how to use computers in the computer labour instructor said in order to open the icons that were on the desktop, we have to double click the ARROW part that was on the shortcuts in order to open the programand yes it was a boomer with white hair and a she
>>736836250I mean that still works, even if it isn't necessary.
>>736823182the one dungeon where you had to throw a bottle at a door to open it filtered me. I was stuck for a half hour before I caved and read a walkthrough.
>>736819061I somehow was exposed to MM then got OoT later. I spent so many hours just to get the masks to work (mostly so I could roll around as a Goron) and for some reason thought the OoT number on the save file was somehow related. For anyone curious the number was a death count.
>>736836801Kind of, but you can see in >>736836250's picture that not all the icons had the arrow. I'm thinking the boomer that was mentioned was just a dumb substitute teacher.
>>736823982huh?
>>736828156that's actually a default behavior in some games, or was it that some configs for quake had that.
>>736819061I got most of the way through FF7 without realizing I could use items and magic outside of combat.I played my first two FPSes with a joystick.
I thought that a SATA HDD was the same thign as an SDD. Because I thought the S meant stood for SATA. Had a slow as fuck drive for years and never understood why games would warn me my drive was slow.
Played KOTOR on Xbox as a kid got softlocked at the Admiral Karath boss fight because my characters were all built so terribly because I had no idea how to play RPG's properly and only beaten JRPG's through grinding. Didn't beat the game until I played it on PC many years later.
>>736838728I got stuck in final fantasy X so many times. that was the hardest game I ever played. Seymour on gagazet was literally impossible and I had to get somebody to beat it for me. And the gauntlet style fight on the beach by besaid I think, it took me like 10 hours to beat that boss. I’m not even sure how, like today I can probably beat any final fantasy without even trying. I’m pretty sure I can beat x with my cock pressing the X button and the control stick up my sphincter to move the character around. My balls could be used for your mom to suck on my balls. Your mom can suck on my dick too and I’ll shit into her mouth and she will digest it into a more powerful form.
I got stuck on the Sun Key puzzle in Phantom Hourglass for two weeks straight before I had to buy a guide due to no internet.When the game said "press the chart to the symbol" I interpreted the bottom screen's map moving to the top as the "press" so I kept trying to draw the symbol in the right place and hoping that'd be enough. At no point during all that time did I ever close the DS.
I only play games with guns
>>736819061I played the first 5 hours of Dark Souls without sprinting and lock-on(KB+M)I was speed-reading the tutorialmissed the path to the Undead Burg too
When I played FNAF I didnt see why I couldnt just close both doors so I kept doing that and wondering why I ran out of power
it took me about 30 years to realize math blaster and blaster master were different games
i thought hitting "tab" in flash games was cheating instead of necessary
>>736839969it is cheating in some flash games, I think the impossible quiz had some questions that could be cheesed that way
>>736819061I have never finished a single mario game because they are too hard
>>736819061I still don't know how to install Windows. I'm 33
As far as vidya is concerned, I guess my dislike for random battles in JRPGs made them harder than they needed to be, since I would run constantly and only engage when that wasn't an option. The other thing would be brute forcing Pokémon games and beating the Elite Four with an overleveled starter and five shitheads.
>>736843150>The other thing would be brute forcing Pokémon games and beating the Elite Four with an overleveled starter and five shitheads.I mean that really is the optimal strategy. I've been playing through FR on the switch, and I somehow miraculously got to the E4 with a bunch of pokemon that are 15 levels lower than lorelei's pokemon. The trainers in victory road were so much more difficult in FRLG than in RBY, but now that I got to the E4, I have no hope of beating them with my current levels. I'm going to have to do a retarded amount of grinding now and I just really don't want to.
>>736843317It wasn't until RSE that it occurred to me that being able to tank the water gym with a fire type was not the intended experience. Well, aside from Yellow where I caught a Mankey because dealing with Brock was too much for a Pikachu. In that case, I beat the Elite Four with an overleveled Primeape, four shitheads, and a Pikachu I couldn't box.
>>736843048Just put in a dis...oh.
>>736819061I play rts like city builders and still can't fix that problem to this day
>>736844873>had sim city 3000 unlimited as a kid>made a bunch of cities but only one was ever successful>recently get it again to see if I can use adult logic to succeed>cities still keep failingI'm not cut out for city planning.
>>736819061i straight up didn't junction any magic in ff8 when i was a kid, i'd sit there and grind out boss battles that would take literally hours spamming guardian forces. i'd just leave the game running mid-battle if i had to go do something. still loved it
I can't beat NES Marios without save states
>>736819061I didn't know you were supposed to hit the enemies from below and then run into them in Mario Bros. I played it first in SMW for GBA and had no manual. I figured it out by accident.
