What made me happy today?
- Thread starter big soft moose
- Start date
The ergonomic ones are great if you are using it just for writing. Video editing, or anything else, not so much. But I do recommend one for writing.
I used one of those for years. Don't remember having a preferential opinion either way.
Is it one of the ones that don't go anywhere? Like the time you caught the ferry over to Shelbyville?
You needed a new heel for your shoe, so, you decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So we all tied onions to our belts, which was the style at the time.Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em! Gimme 5 bees for a quarter, we'd say!
Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that we all had an onions on our belts, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing we could get was those big yellow ones ...
So, I have a Nintendo Switch that I bought back in 2017 when they first came out. I never played it much (the only game I finished was Breath of the Wild because it was genuinely amazing). It mostly sat in my desk's drawer untouched. I used to love video games as a kid (played the NDS to death) but my interest in them died in my early adult years.
Anyway. What my rare usage of the Switch taught me is that it discharges itself to zero even if left unpowered completely. That always annoyed me because on the occasion where I did want to use it, I had to charge it back to 100% and wait a lot. It's also really bad for the battery. My 3DS doesn't do that. It doesn't loose charge and is ready to be used even if you don't power it on for years.
Last summer, I decided to mod it with a Picofly chip. I like soldering (been at it for years) and had heard all about how challenging the installation is, and how most people fail it. So, I bought one, and installed it myself successfully. It was so much fun and I now have a fully unlocked Switch. Of course, after I had my fun modding it, I shelved it again.
Then today, I felt like playing a game again, so I put it to charge to 100% overnight as usual. But to my absolute shock and surprise, as soon as I plugged it in, it booted to Hekate and showed me 100% battery level. I don't know how (and I can't find any info online) but it appears that the modchip somehow fixed the discharge problem.
That alone made the mod worth it, so I'm happy!

*pushes my switch at him* fix mine? Pleeeeassse?
Wow, I finally won a forum contest. The .com forum.
The first poem I submitted was put into the workshop and the next one was put into the red light room... So this is persistence above talent.
We have this month’s Laureate Crown; it goes to Thundair for his poem “Beginning of my Loneliness” (16 points). A heart-wrenching poem. Loneliness defined.

That's a beautiful keyboard.
Thank you! I just got it today and it is wonderful. I love it so much.
I got another version of it a while back, but the ? key was in a weird place and so I had to return it. I wanted a different version ever since and I am in LOVE with this keyboard. Also, I have great confidence that this keyboard will last.
This is a Womier 75% Keyboard and it's the Kanegawa art design.

Congratulations!
That is a work of art, not a keyboard!
You mean, it needs to be framed and hung up on the wall?
But yes, it's a very good-looking keyboard ... except that I noticed the numpad is missing.
Unless there's a bit that's not being shown?I remember my first fancy keyboard from cyberpowerpc. Glowing keys might've been unnecessary but looked quite cool imo.
February is over. The mere idea of March always makes me happier than February.
Early spring can be as enchanting as it is tumultuous. Stormy skies are always fun though.
March means I've only (!) got a month and change of vacation left though. Woe is me, woe is me.
March's wind
Makes you bend.
Makes you bend.

In like a lion and out like a lamb,
Then April comes, and it's outside with the fam.

I've done some workout today. I don't know about others but the soreness I get the day after workouts feel great to me. It feels really good.
