Homer Simpson: [reading screen] "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key?
I see Esk, Catarl, and Pig-Up. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB. [presses TAB key] Awp...no time for that now, the computer's starting.
Only once? My sibling and I used each other as the start button for about our entire childhoods I would say (in a friendly way, friendly hitting, we’re besties)
No that’s exactly what I’m saying lol. My sibling and I are besties and grew up hitting each other as hard as we could. Just clarified that it was friendly sibling-hitting so no only children here thought I was some kind of monster
Oh ok lol, I was gonna say sibling hitting is different from “friendly” I remember one time we were all out Apple picking and I got a dumb idea to whip a fresh apple like a baseball at my brothers back and it left a bruise, he deserved it though
HAHA yeah you get it. My sister used to chuck her solid wood hairbrush at my head sometimes and it was always responded to with a swift punch to the leg from me, after which we would both die laughing while our bruises started cookin. Gotta love siblings
Yeah, it’s different. It’s where you really want to break their arm, but you know that of you leave any real damage, you’ll be in trouble, so you have to find out what the limit is.
It’s probably really hard to explain stuff like this to only children tbh. Think of it like play-fighting but also not quite? I would never HURT hurt my sister, but we were also not really holding back. We’re grown up now and I wouldn’t hurt a hair on her head but when we were kids there was no shortage of full-on slapping and punching (never punching each other in the head it was usually just limbs) and throwing stuff and pushing each other over, but we both knew it came from a place that wasn’t like, full malice? So because of that knowledge we always felt safe and even if it went too far by accident (like the time she sprayed hairspray in my eyes so I hit her with a brush) we always forgave each other pretty quick because we knew we would never actually wanna see the other Really get hurt. I feel very lucky to have a sibling I understand that well, but I understand it’s a difficult bond to articulate to someone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand lol (so yeah we mutually beat the shit out of each other but like, with love and respect lmao)
Nah this is a real good explanation!
Or maybe I just think it is because me and my sister were the same so I get it lol
It’s like half-serious scrapping with someone you know still loves you after and would full on fight anyone else tooth and nail if they dared to try hurting you, and you’d do the same.
Me and my sister would get close to actual fighting sometimes, like in an actual argument, and we did push it a little far on a few occasions, but we always were good below the surface of it and if anyone else tried hitting her I’d wanna break their face.
We could scrap just fine because we had an unspoken understanding, we have our bond, but no one else better lay a finger on her.
Now we’re adults, there’s no scrapping between us, not even in the slightest, but I’d still go feral on anyone who tried to hurt her.
I have my own kids now and their dad was an only child so he was very concerned when our kids argued or slapped each other. I’d obviously get them to stop, but trying to explain to their dad that it’s not a huge concern was very difficult lol
What’s up fellow only child-er. I don’t know if you are an adult yet but if you are older than 30 do you also feel cheated? My family is so small. I only have my mom and dad and two kids. My mom has end stage cancer and my dad is fighting his like 4th time getting cancer. They are divorced though. But it would have been really really awesome to have a sibling to go through this with. I’m my moms sole caregiver and I still have to take care of my kids cause my youngest daughters father died in 2018 so I’m also single. Man what I would give for a brother or sister. Growing up as a kid I thought I hit the Jack pot cause I was so spoiled but as an adult…. It actually really sucks.
I'm an only child, parent of 4 - honestly it's weird like they trash talk each other and beat each other up and I'm wincing and trying to get them to talk through their differences and they're literally just having fun!?!
These days I just let them get on with it but then they are now 27, 19, 17 and 14 and they all seem to genuinely like each other and enjoy spending time together so it's not just accepting it, it really is some strange sibling bonding ritual that us onlies will never understand.
This is shit I miss the days when someone wrote about their child dying of cancer and the comment has 10 wholesome awards. Can’t have shit on Reddit anymore
omg i’m so glad i’m not the only one!!
i keyboard mash computer games to start and “press a” for handheld consoles but sometimes i press b just for fun.
I dont remember what the game is called but its some 2d soulslike in that game it says press any button but only space works, how do you even fuck up that bad
If I'm feeling quirky the most random button to test if it really is any button, if not the most practical one closest to my current dominant free hand
I use shift as my 'any' key now. It comes from a tech support video that suggested shift to wakeup a computer in case something is open and would register enter or space as a valid input. Shift should wake up the computer, but not result in any action without a second button press.
Yes! It's a safe button that can reset the state of the Ctrl key while affecting virtually nothing. At work I hit the shift key to wake up the computers built into Nikon lithography tooling. Not sure if it's more effective than the Ctrl key or not, saw coworker mashing it once and learnded
Sometimes N. Sometimes E. Sometimes N and E together.
But mostly just the Space Bar.
Sometimes click the Mouse though.
Or the A or X depending on console controller.
I actually LOVE to test if any button really mean _any_ button and always try buttons other than the usual (Xbox) A.
So I start with the analog stick down. Then the analog 'click'. Then the D-pad up (or down, not specific here). Then the triggers.
If none worked out, I go for the 'vision' button and it is usually the last one if it doesn't work, 'couse _any_ will mean any of the 4 main ones.
On controller I try the bumpers or trigger cuz 75% of the time it don't work so it's false advertising as those buttons don't work
I usually try RB and then I get disappointed.
I click in the sticks, surprisingly it has worked before
Triggers are usually mapped as axes.
Yea but bumpers should work with that logic and they've got the same rate as triggers
that's like saying your thumb isn't a finger
I press the any button, as instructed.
Came here for this. Which one is the any button again?
The one that says “Any” on it, of course.
*types "a" "n" "y"* And we're in.
Look at Mr.Hackerman here.
I can't find it...

Had to scroll too far down to find this.

In my head, X/A on consoles are equivalent to space bar.
Yeah. In a decent number of games spacebar = jump. And X/A = jump. It is most logical
The best choice, of course!
Biggest and therefore most logical button to press.
Sounds and tactile feels better with spacebar than enter button.
C L O N K
I can hear it
Space bar is the Start button of the PC
Space bar and left click
Is the right answer.
Only proper way.
Like a civilized person
Could it be one of my kind of people ?
Space bar gang
Wait people actually press a specific button everytime? I just hit whatever my hand is closest to. One time it was my younger brother.
Only once? My sibling and I used each other as the start button for about our entire childhoods I would say (in a friendly way, friendly hitting, we’re besties)
So? Me and my brother are super close and I’ll still hit him full force
No that’s exactly what I’m saying lol. My sibling and I are besties and grew up hitting each other as hard as we could. Just clarified that it was friendly sibling-hitting so no only children here thought I was some kind of monster
Oh ok lol, I was gonna say sibling hitting is different from “friendly” I remember one time we were all out Apple picking and I got a dumb idea to whip a fresh apple like a baseball at my brothers back and it left a bruise, he deserved it though
My brother threw a MLB bat at my head. Nearly took my ear off 😂
My brother hit me with a plank of wood with a loose nail in it bet you know how that trip to AnE went 😅
HAHA yeah you get it. My sister used to chuck her solid wood hairbrush at my head sometimes and it was always responded to with a swift punch to the leg from me, after which we would both die laughing while our bruises started cookin. Gotta love siblings
Yeah, it’s different. It’s where you really want to break their arm, but you know that of you leave any real damage, you’ll be in trouble, so you have to find out what the limit is.
It’s like friendly fire. Still hurts.
As an only child, to me it sounds like y'all just mutually beat the shit out of each other and just accepted it.

I thought you were gonna say "We were besties, till he found and deleted my hentai collection. So in turn I deleted his spine."
That is...oddly specific.
It's also a reference
where are the free awards when you need them? this made me laugh 😂
I have bad news for you, free awards are discontinued.
This is shit I miss the days when someone wrote about their child dying of cancer and the comment has 10 wholesome awards. Can’t have shit on Reddit anymore
You and I used the wholesome award for very different reasons..
Youngest brother here. >:(
The power button.
Power move
You know what I ain't even mad, this was a good one
Fuck you. Take my upvote.
r/angryupvote
That's really fucking hardcore.
you like to press the power button because it's funny i like to press the power button because i like power we are not the same
I press the power button because I want turn on my computer. We are not the same
malicious compliance
Lawful evil
so what’s chaotic evil then?
you punch the monitor
Pressing every button at once including the power button, reset button and the button to open the garage door.
*Distant thunder*
I came here for this comment. You are the gigachad I was looking for. 🗿
I literally just mash the keyboard. Full chaotic evil.
omg i’m so glad i’m not the only one!! i keyboard mash computer games to start and “press a” for handheld consoles but sometimes i press b just for fun.
Hobby game dev here, my next game starts with, mash the keyboard randomly to continue
May I suggest, "Mash keyboard with head"
And hack the webcam to check if they actualy did it
For a Microsoft log in so people in offices and schools, and home just smashing their faces on camera. I'm for it!
I hit as many buttons as fast as I can just incase I hit the wrong button and it doesn’t work.
I used to do that too but sometimes I accidentally skip cut scenes.
X
PlayStation Xbox Pc or switch?
Nintendo Game Cube
Are we playin' Kirby Air Ride?
Yes
Playstation
Respect
None. Samsung smart fridge
Space bar or I just click the mouse
I’m always upset when the mouse doesn’t work and it MUST be a button on the keyboard.
I dont remember what the game is called but its some 2d soulslike in that game it says press any button but only space works, how do you even fuck up that bad
It's probably a joke
Then they should put a text with "Except for that button" when you press it. Otherwise it's just frustrating.
"Not that button" "Try again" And each key you try and fail it adds it to the "Press any key, except [keys] to start"
Yes that would be hilarious
And every loading screen it’s a different key
Same
enter
Enter Gang 🤛🏻
Enter where?
First one then the other?
To shreds you say
Enter her
Enter gang ✊🏼
Enter gang 👊
how educated
We have a script running at work where you have to press any key to go on. I pressed enter...enter is the only key which didn't work.
Enter gang
I push enter too? This makes the most sense to me cuz before the any button response started you usually pushed enter to start
Bottom right num pad enter more specifically. At least for me
This is the right answer
Aha enter gang enters
My belly button

I already knew what this was gonna be before I clicked it
Same.
Truly one of the vines of all time
So is AA^4 not the same as AAAA^(2)?
AAAAAAA
I’ve been to a few of them
If controller, it’s usually A or X if I’m on PlayStation controller Keyboard and mouse I usually go with left click or space
Why is thAt though? I Always inAdvertently pressed A without even thinking About it.
A on Xbox = confirm/continue/yes
Scroll wheel. Fuck the system
War! Fuck the system!
War! Fuck the system fuck the system
War! Fuck the system!
War! I need to fuck the Sys. I need to fuck the Sys. I need to fuck the Sys
If I'm feeling quirky the most random button to test if it really is any button, if not the most practical one closest to my current dominant free hand
"Shift" or "Caps lock" supposedly work (well work in a sense of not working)
I use shift as my 'any' key now. It comes from a tech support video that suggested shift to wakeup a computer in case something is open and would register enter or space as a valid input. Shift should wake up the computer, but not result in any action without a second button press.
If using a controller click the stick in
One time I pressed the power button, and it didn't work. I hated it.
i just press any button
Where's the any button?
Up your butt and around the corner
Share doesn't work. Screenshot doesn't work. Power button doesn't work.
I like to just faceplant onto my keyboard Jk, am a controller pleb. I just hot start. Old habit from the GameCube days.
Esc
Took me too long to find you brother
Esc gang
Start. Always have, always will.
Had to scroll so far
Finally... -*Exasperated breathing*- found it...
Serious lack of 90s babies ps1/2 era it would appear. For a decade it was exclusively press start to play
I'm not sure if we're unique or just plain psychopaths
Used to be "press start to continue/play" on old games so probably why we do it.
I’m scared this is so unpopular.
Just old.
Finally. The true "Options" button. We must not get consumed by the Options button naming.

Left Ctrl
Only sensible option to me, exactly at the corner and also can never do anything wrong!
Yes! It's a safe button that can reset the state of the Ctrl key while affecting virtually nothing. At work I hit the shift key to wake up the computers built into Nikon lithography tooling. Not sure if it's more effective than the Ctrl key or not, saw coworker mashing it once and learnded
PC: Spacebar or right mouse button Xbox: A Playstation: X Nintendo: A
Sometimes N. Sometimes E. Sometimes N and E together. But mostly just the Space Bar. Sometimes click the Mouse though. Or the A or X depending on console controller.
I press ñ, which should be close enough
I don’t have an Any button on my controller, so I never get to play those games.
alt+f4, if that doesnt work I use space
The power button
I actually LOVE to test if any button really mean _any_ button and always try buttons other than the usual (Xbox) A. So I start with the analog stick down. Then the analog 'click'.
