Platformers are practically made to break you, and some boss fights can be the most monotonous experience of "roll to dodge, strike at the belly, roll to dodge, strike at the belly..." Being that we are humans, it's not outrageous to expect some range of emotion when engaging with a medium that you're actively participating in (and, in a way, working against to overcome obstacles).

However, he was not a keen fan of the French Defense, and commented: "This is the most monotonous and annoying play you can imagine – rarely it gives rise to combinations of some interest".

It is classified in section Mycena of Mycena in the infrageneric scheme of Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus. In the older (1947) classification of Alexander H. Smith, he placed it in the subgenus Eumycena, section Typicae—"a most monotonous series of blackish, brown, gray, bluish- gray, or brownish-gray species mostly with ascending gills and generally large to moderate stature."Smith (1947), p. 225. The specific epithet galericulata is derived from the Latin galer, and means "with a small hat".

These included locals of the American Federation of Textile Operatives, an independent organization. The deteriorating wage situation spurred militance in many of these locals, however, and in April and May 1928 a move was made to join the United Textile Workers (UTW), a larger and more potent labor organization affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Most of the minority of New Bedford workers who were unionized ahead of the 1928 strike were from the highly skilled trades — loom fixers, weavers, warp twisters, and the like — who were generally native-born and English-speaking. Those unorganized were more often than not unskilled or low skilled immigrants, forced to perform the dirtiest and most monotonous jobs and barred by union protection by the rigid craft structure of the New Bedford union movement.

Andagoya has one of the most monotonous climates in the world. Its annual range of mean monthly temperatures – that is to say, the difference between the warmest and coldest months – at Andagoya is mere 0.8 °C (1.44 °F) as March, the warmest month, has an average temperature of 26.8 °C (80.24 °F) while November, the "coldest" month, averages 26.0 °C (78.8 °F); the average annual temperature is 26.5 °C (79.7 °F). This near complete uniformity of temperature is caused by the fact that Andagoya, at a latitude of 5°5' North, lies extremely close to the thermal equator, which is situated a few degrees north of the astronomical equator because the Earth reaches perihelion (its closest position to the Sun in its orbit) in early January and is at aphelion (furthest away) in early July, causing places located precisely at the equator to receive somewhat more insolation (i.e., light and heat energy from the sun) in January than in July even though the height of the sun and the length of days would be the same at both times.
