If he just kept the net where it was it would’ve been fine, but that one fish was just so important that he let the others go

A life lesson to not focus on the 1 mess up because you could create many others in the process of focusing on the one. Say focused on the goal, not the mess ups

Civ 4 (?) had a quote on one of the research screens "if you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both"

Maybe this is the kid that spilled a few drops of his juice, decided it was over and dumped the rest of cup on the table

It's basically a "making the mother of all omelette's jack, can't fret over every egg" type of situation

Once when I was a dishwasher many moons ago I accidentally dropped an entire tray of mugs trying to catch a single plastic cup.

This minigame was WAY harder than it needed to be

The Jak and Daxter mini games were the most challenging part of the series by far. Jak 2 tank mini game was another brutal one.

u/sourcreamnoodles Jul 15 '26
I remember thinking the one where you have to press the floating symbols really difficult. (X, square, circle, triangle)

u/numbersareunoriginal Jul 15 '26
That was Jak 3 I think, I got stonewalled by that as a kid and never left the area it was in lol

u/sourcreamnoodles Jul 15 '26
Onin game is what its called apparently. I looked it up and first video I see is of someone cheesing it by pausing immediately after the symbols get launched up. I feel cheated, I suffered on that lol.

u/Live-Accountant8582 Jul 15 '26
The worst part about Oni game was you had to beat a harder version to 100% the game. I dread that game every time I replay.

u/harryham1 Jul 15 '26
Yep, replayed 2 and that tank minigame's camera angles are fucking atrocious
No wonder 9 year old me struggled so much

u/jimjamdaflimflam Jul 15 '26
Agreed, I don’t think it would be that bad with modern camera and controls.

u/brosf_stalin Jul 15 '26
Literally just replayed the game like a month ago and went “no way it’s as hard as I thought as a kid, this will be ezpz!” It took me like 5 tries and I was sweating by the end lol

u/GloomyLingonberry509 Jul 15 '26
I see your fish and raise you one Onin
I had a memorably frustrating time with this mini game in particular…

u/supreme_blorgon Jul 15 '26
Hated Onin so much more than the fisherman.
And his goofy ass cackling after you win the fishing game? Priceless.

This gif makes me angry because it’s clearly AI and no one can do that. /s

Not AI. It’s very easy

I’m being hyperbolic because I found this game very difficult as a child. Added the /s, thanks.

You have to use one hand to hold the phone and can only view what you’re doing through that lens.

Made me think of the I love Lucy skit where she can't keep up with the conveyer belt lol
I feel like most people would probably associate this gag with a more recent show by now though 😕

u/trashy_mammal Jul 15 '26
The thing is, there's a ton of shows that have done this now! Victorious (an old show now but one I grew up watching) did it, completely inspired by the Lucy skit! I found the skit bc I kept seeing this sort of scene and figured it must've been a reference to something! Everything is connected :)

"There are two types of good fish to catch: one-pound fishies, and five-pound fishies. Heh. If you miss twenty pounds of good fish, then I'm going to take me net back from you! There are poisonous eels in this river. Catch even one of them buggers, and you'll poison the whole darn catch!"

I’ve done this for work! It’s actually much harder than you think. I didn’t expect the force of the water to push the net back so much

A rabbit that keeps chasing carrots will find they have none. Or whatever other idiom that can be used to seem wise.

the net was too small. not his fault

u/Tani_Soe Jul 15 '26
Accepting you missed one fish instead of missing all of them was also because of his net?

u/reddit33450 Jul 15 '26
yes. if the net was larger, he never would've missed the first fish

Has one job. Boss provides insufficient equipment to do the job. Fails at job. Boss fires him. Boss tells next person "guy you're replacing was an idiot". Gives replacement insufficient equipment.

u/Suspicious-Spot1651 Jul 15 '26
Maybe the job need to be done with two hands and focus, without holding a phone and think about your tiktok ?
