I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn't enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn't care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they've continued to up the prices and I've continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.

    The Goblin trader that gets left in the Goblin camp. The way he says "Praise The Absolute" whilst brushing his finger across his nose is so well delivered. Reminds me of a character from a Monty Python sequence.

    I just got a Q5 Pro myself and use the End key all the time so I reworked the keys and flashed the firmware.

    [del] is now [PrnScn]

    [pgup] is [del] / [insert] (Using + [fn] key)

    [pgdn] is [home] / [pgup]

    [home] is [end] / [pgdn]

    I'll have to order new keycaps to match, but so far it's felt good to use that way and I find that the only time I mispress is when I look at the keyboard.

    Is Floorp the only option for Firefox for removing horizontal tabs? I like the idea of vertical tabs, but only if I can get rid of the horizontal bar and free up that extra screen space.

    It's already dead, please leave the corpse alone.

    It is kinda sad given the legacy of the show, it almost made it to 30 and was the place of so many big industry moments (good and bad). Things have become more spread out now across GamesCom, PAXs, TGS, GDC, Develop and the many I'm forgetting.

    I can get the argument that we really don't need much of an in-person event given that stuff can be streamed instantly around the world now, we don't need to rely on people setting up cameras in front of TVs to show off noisy gameplay footage, but the fact that so many others shows still exist proves that there is a want for in-person events.

    E3's death kinda came about because it got chipped away from all sides. There were better places for industry deal making to be done (GDC), Big publishers peeled off to do their own thing, and the expensive mark up that hit the other companies no longer appealed as they could get what they needed from PAX and GamesCom.

    I've played the first book a few times and really enjoyed it, though not managed to finish it yet. It's more complicated to play than a Fighting Fantasy book, with many clues and objects to track. With that, I ended up spending some time creating a spreadsheet to track my progress, then I added some code to roll dice, then I added code to handle combat tracking. It's probably riddled with bugs, but should anyone want to use it, here it is (Google Sheets).
