Not every video game takes you by the hand and leads you through an experience so nonchalant and forgettable it may as well be a date with yours truly, but nor do many video games go out of their way to make things hard to the extent most players just give up trying.

We know of video games with deliberately tough but fair mechanics, and we know of unlockable difficulty modes that turn things up to eleven or more, but what if you’re wanting a challenge, and the only way to push things to an extent harder than playing Dance Dance Revolution with the four direction pads in four separate rooms is to bring this horrendous difficulty ‘mode’ upon yourself?

That’s what we’re looking at today: those times when tinkering on your end made things more difficult for you, with either very little or no shenanigans from the developers themselves. They simply made it possible to absolutely dick over yourself.
