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

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

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
Me who already does this on PS5

Lol, pah-leeeze

Minimum 18 characters, must use caps, lower case, punctuation, numbers, and at least 4 special symbols.
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
On an Alphabet order keyboard

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

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.
As someone who grew up inputing passwords in Mega Drive games with one: there are worst things.
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...
It blows my mind that in many cases I can't use my voice to enter text in fucking 2025.

And the keyboard is randomized with every letter typed.
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.

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...

Hell is just real life but someone keeps eating nature valley bars in your bed.

You can only communicate by typing messages in Xbox game chat. With no ai word finishing.
In Hell, you pay for a subscription to use your controller.
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.
It's in alphabetical order not qwerty
And the passwords are random gibberish, and every time you enter in the password the letter location scrambles.
A punishment that never gets old, a fresh mental wound daily as the emails and passwords become more nonsensical. 🤪🫠
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.
Hell would be having to input it using voice typing
