If video games have taught me anything its that theres a series of levers somewhere that will rotate these into position

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

Or that you should jump between them once you're close enough.

Exactly, although the puzzle adventure games have taught me it's more likely a series of wheels you need to rotate precisely. Or worse, a buddy you know through a walky talky needs to do it while the room slowly floods with you in it.

Ah, good times.

Or while you freeze to death :)

You could easily replace “Eastern Europe” with the West and and make the same point about capitalism

I’m not out here being a capitalist Stan, just pointing out this meme is weak

Bottomless pit inspections be like

I'm guessing those are pre-fabricated pipe sections, with the ladders already installed. Someone forgot to line them up during installation.

Now I wanna know if I could climb that.

Looks like We Were Here Too reference

Uh nice, a side entrance to Croft Manor. The first back jump is a bit tricky, make sure you are in the leftmost position of the first ladder before you press A.

You have obviously never had a job that involves working in tight spaces wearing a tool belt. Also easier to fix if part of the climbing points fail due to degradation from moisture.
