Screenshotting the clues you find definitely helps piece it all together.

I’m working on the letter puzzle related to the pictures right now. Definitely couldn’t remember that without writing it down.

Works on the Flip, too.

I can’t wait to get a Linux phone.

Oh god, what sigils? I don’t think I’ve even gotten to that yet. I’ve opened up the side yard and the mine, and got 3 of the 4 torches lit. There are so many puzzles! I think it’s better to know nothing, though, and discover it along the way.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 4 days ago:
I tried other layouts because it’s easy with an on-screen phone keyboard, just an oftion in the app menu, and Colemak felt the most intuitive to use. I didn’t have to get used to it, it felt natural from the start.
It’s not as easy to switch with a physical keyboard, with so many games having movement and other functions tied to specific keys that assume a qwerty layout, so I kept using what I was used to in that circumstance. I don’t even think about it.
One of these days, I’ll probably buy/set up a physical Colemak keyboard, and see how that is with games.

I did that frequently, as a form of entertainment, especially after I had gone to bed at night.

I’ve been playing Blue Prince. It’s fun.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 4 days ago:
I use a case and usually a screen protector. They get broken pretty frequently anyway.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 5 days ago:
I use Colmak on phone and Qwerty on desktop, and never think about it.

I don’t think there are any holes in my computer large enough for roaches to get into, but I did once have a router that I only realized had an ant colony inside of it when I took it apart to move.

A family member got a roach stuck in her ear and had to go to the hospital to have it removed.

I like it, personally, but I don’t use voice chat.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 weeks ago:
The first game didn’t have much in the way of story. The focus was on the puzzles and adventuring. I don’t think that makes her less of a woman character. In a video game, the assets are the only difference, anyway. Not that women can’t be rough and adventurous and physical and like guns.

Haha, no problem.
- Comment on Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns? 2 weeks ago:
The ones I’ve seen are more like a supermarket, and prices are generally higher than at for-profit stores.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
I feel like I get a pretty good idea of what a game is like from reviews and discussions.

I have no problem on Librewolf. Are you in a country that might be blocked from posting for some reason?

Don’t know, but bioprinting sounds kinda creepy.
- Comment on Need a video generating plugin - AI Video 2 weeks ago:
This already exists. Get ComfyUI and download their video creation plugin. Or there’s one that works with A1111, but I think it’s not quite as good.
- Comment on Huawei’s foldable laptop is probably thinner than your phone. 2 weeks ago:
Very interesting. I’ve enjoyed having a foldable phone, although the screen is starting to crack at the center.
- Comment on Hey Randy, I'm not sure if saying that a "real fan" will figure out how to pay $80 for Borderlands 4 is a good look 2 weeks ago:
2 and the prequel were great, but I have no interest in the series after 3. The playable characters and skills weren’t really appealing, and the plot was so bad, I wish it hadn’t had one. If 4 looks amazing, maybe I’ll try it when it’s on sale.
- Comment on Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns? 2 weeks ago:
In the US, I see co-ops in big cities more often than anywhere else.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
The only way I know anything about the games I buy is by reading the store page. If I have to go looking for the dev’s website, it’s because something has gone wrong.

I use uMatrix to control exactly which cookies I accept, and only accept what I need.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 3 weeks ago:
No, I think it’s great to be able to get rid of shitty voice work with the click of a button. Wish I could use it on my bf’s Brian Sanderson audiobooks. That guy’s simpering, exaggeratedly high pitched female voices are so unpleasant to listen to.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 3 weeks ago:
Imagine not liking the voicing of a book, so you just pick a different one.
- Comment on VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t prefer that. But with some things I feel like it’s barely a downside, and I’d put Boxes into that category. It’s useful and well-designed enough in terms of functionality that I’m willing to overlook the Gnominess.
- Comment on Usernames using randomized nonsense 3 weeks ago:
I use random websites that don’t require Javascript, tbh, and manually paste the name into KeePassXC.
