my experience playing minesweeper mostly goes like: solving, solving, solving... ok so these three corners all have a 50/50 chance, the only thing I can do is click randomly while acknowledging there's an 87.5% chance I lose for no real reason
to be fair to the game, you can actually.. tease out.. more information than that, via what i can only describe as arcane rituals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At8Kloh4KY4

There are plenty of versions that only generate no RNG fields
Yep, every time minesweeper comes up I link this version.
Open source, made by the PuTTY dev, and deterministic. No RNG outside of the map seed.
Correct.
The real challenge to minesweeper is speedrunning.
Back when I had a corpo job, I got really good at it and could pretty reliably solve the small one in under 15 seconds.

Never did I ever think I would read a comment thread about edging a game of Minesweeper.
These new age verification laws got people gooming to the weirdest stuff possible haha
Anyone else remember the cheat code for minesweeper?
Very big field + very few mines = decent chance of solving in a single click =D
