  • The keyboard macro software is basically unusable. Also, my $200+ keyboard only has 5 programable buttons? It’s the 2020’s my dudes. My Razer keyboard from 2010 can remap every key. I was also excited when I heard there was a new version of razers macro software, after suffering through their old one from 10+ years ago for so long. I promptly uninstalled the new one and reinstalled the old one after about 5 minutes. Less functionality and harder to use.


  • I never know if I’m supposed to click the squares that have a tiny bit of the object or not. I hate the ones like this where you have to do 3-4 screens and then it fails you.

    I like some of the newer captchas where it’s like “choose the heaviest animal” and it’s trippy pics of birds, dogs, and elephants.






  • Man, this is what I fear trying to get into homelab’ing. I’m just so naive to networking I’m afraid I’ll break everything. The most I’ve ever accomplished was Plex on my PC, Plex app elsewhere and PC has to have Plex running to work. That and I built a NAS (when really I just wish it was a DAS I could tether to multiple PC’s at once), and I barely made it though tutorials to get that working.

    I feel like I need to buy a textbook because I’m so clueless on the basics I can’t even get started, since almost any tutorial online assumes you know the bare bones basics. Like I literally don’t know what DHCP is, how it works, or even what it stands for.

    At the very least your post has inspired me to try to start trying again. Maybe there’s a textbook I can pick up to start learning this super basic groundwork, or maybe a course online.





  • I remember when I got the steam notification that a developer left a comment on my review. I had left some other ones recently so I was excited, then I saw it was Bethesda telling me all the “fun things” I can do after I said it was boring. When I think about it it gives me that cringy awkward feeling you get when you’re embarrassed for someone else.





  • My Factorio gameplay loop be like:

    • well thought out start for the first few science packs
    • hit constraints but continue growing with some elegance
    • this should be enough refinery output
    • fuck
    • spaghetti
    • early game nodes are depleting
    • remember I’m shit at building railways
    • “this mile long belt is a good solution”
    • more spaghetti
    • I’ve been playing non stop for a week
    • burnt out; going to take a short break
    • 6-12 months later- let’s finish this
    • wtf happened here…
    • restart

    180 hours played and I still haven’t launched a rocket, and I loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next go-round.
