Why don't you just get one beefy computer, then use something like Nucleus Co-op to split screen multiple sessions of the game on one TV?

Or if you've already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.

No need for a special TV in either case ๐Ÿ˜‰

With Piefeds migration feature, is it necessary? Since federation means the existing content won't go anywhere?

[โ€“] beastlykings 1 points 14 hours ago

Interesting! I'll check it out.

So far I'm still going between keybr and monkeytype. I like the individual key analytics of keybr, but I like the style of monkeytype. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The YouTube comments are almost entirely bots, all with variations on this same comment about the transition to action. Except they're all like "I'm so ready!" "I'm here for it!" Etc.

It's wild.

I'm sure you're not a bot though. Or are you... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah, definitely pandering to a specific crowd ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

That's good to know, thanks! I'm still just learning to touch type. I spent a few decades typing fast enough but always looking at the keys. This year I've started learning touch typing, I'm only a half dozen hours in, so still pretty new.

But when I get good I'll take this into consideration! Thanks!

[โ€“] beastlykings 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes, I didn't have the right size one, so I bodged an 1/8 watt down the side into an empty cavity. Works well ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Oh! Lol I see the confusion. I meant I'm leaving the typo. I'm on my phone for 90% of Lemmy stuff. My phone autocorrected distros to Doritos. It was funny so I left it ๐Ÿ˜…

Sorry lol

Hmmm, I touch a lot of keyboards throughout my week, I need to retain my qwerty ability. So maybe I would, just through use of both types? As long as they're all qwerty I guess ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] beastlykings 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Interesting ๐Ÿค” why? Just curious

[โ€“] beastlykings 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh now this is different than I've heard, some others have had issues switching back and forth. So maybe I will give it a try, once I've got qwerty up to a decent speed and I feel comfortable with it.

Right now it's a problem because if I'm in a hurry, I'm tempted to type the old way, or a broken mixture of the two that messes with what I've learned. Not good. Gotta slow down and do it right, bah..

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm gonna put a 3d printed split board on my list of things I'll definitely get to some day and totally won't get pushed off the back of the furthest back burner lol

 

I've always been somewhat fast at typing, at least compared to your average hunt and peck person. But I've always had to look down.

So if I was typing something from memory, I could go something like 35 to 45wpm. But I could never test that high on typing tests, because I have to look at my hands, not the screen.

So in my downtime at work the last couple months, I've been practicing touch typing. This is as far as I've gotten, but it's a nice foundation to build on.

Recently tried singani for the first time, it's super unique.

I brought a bottle home with me, and you can buy one brand in the USA/UK, Singani63, which is the main brand in Bolivia just relabeled for international sale.

So far I like it straight, and also I've made what is essentially a Tom Collins with it, brings out a lot of the flavors.

Out and about I had a singani sour, but I didn't look into the details of what was in it, and I'm not a mixologist ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
