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

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

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

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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'd need to learn Minecraft levels of parkour in real life just to the bottom of this hole

If you want to get there alive at least

Oh yeah, that'd be Lot's easier and less dangerous

ladder jumps are hard, even with a spriny key they can get quite tricky sometimes

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

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Peruvia@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

PARKOUR! and good knees.

[–] zbynaCool@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like We Were Here Too reference

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

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.
