the white/purple onion trials in #Pikmin4 on Fierce is absolutely ridiculous.
Got to the one where you have to beat all those bosses, and the increased HP + Oatchi nerf makes it feel borderline impossible - by the time the time runs out, I still haven't beaten the Snagret or Emperor Bulblax.

the AUDACITY of my 7 year old phone to decide to have a very specific issue where attempting to unlock it causes it to crash and go back to the lock screen, with no solution, on the same day I'm supposed to transfer my stuff onto my brand new phone.
The guys at Verizon were completely flummoxed

I've beaten Pikmin 2 multiple times and it never ceases to amaze me how completely unhinged it can be.

Pikmin 2 is so traumatizing that I forget how traumatizing it is until I replay the series.

I made it through the entirety of #PokemonLegendsZA without ever using Plus Moves because I misunderstood how they worked.

They should NOT allow shinies to run away, especially when I wasn't even close enough to notice it or trigger the sound effect/animation...

The 'Fierce' difficulty in #Pikmin4 is so much more than I could even ask for.
Even with a fully-upgraded Oatchi (I'm playing New Game+), the enemies can be quite tricky because Oatchi's Rush stun and Ice Pikmin freezing only last for about a second and the enemies have more HP.

If you had told me before #PokemonLegendsZA released that the bulk of my playtime would revolve around selling fungus and bird droppings I picked up from the street in order to afford clothing...
I would have said "Yeah, that tracks."
