Seem pretty good from the factory to me. I’ve never hand lubed switches tho

I’ve been rocking some gateron oil kings. Been a nice time for me!

I would personally say season 2 kinda missed the mark for me. Scale/power creep turned the story from being much more character driven to be this plot with a lot of odd threads IMO. That said season 1 is incredible. Probably the best show I’ve ever watched.

I found the combat to be quite annoying personally, so I can see where this is coming from. And having to replay for other endings was also annoying. I ended up just looking up the endings

This is very sweet and wholesome. Thank you for sharing :)

Can also grab a PCB + case for a 60% if that’s up your alley. Not exactly a kit but you can definitely put the parts together. Note that if you want more than a 60%, most PCBs and cases must go together.

The lord soul runbacks are rough for sure. I hated doing them, but never for the enemies. Just so long for no real reason lol. But you’re right, challenge is absolutely the name of the game here

This is very interesting to me, re: enemy spam. Goes to show everyone is different. I literally have no issue running through basically any area in DS1, including the ones you listed. Meanwhile iron keep, the magic swamp area, the bell tower area, and the run back to the samurai dlc boss all haunted me. There’s another part in the dlc where you send like oil barrel dudes through a trap door. I did that area about 30x until Everything despawned.

Ds2 does a lot right in vibes. I didn’t really get it that much while playing but it focuses a lot on being an RPG and making you utilize the different systems in the game. You benefit a lot from being able to use ranged weapons from time to time.

That said I found the game kinda ass to play. I think the enemy spam in ds2 is significantly worse than ds1 other than the room before the gargoyle fight. When there is enemy spam in ds1, you can almost always run past it. In ds2 you’re pretty much forced to fight every single enemy every single time.

I do think it’s over hated but I think it’s because people wanted a clone of ds1 which its not. If you went into without any expectations, I suspect it would be viewed much differently.

Awesome :) Feel free to shoot me a message when you get around to it. Love to hear about people’s experience with the game

I really like the characters and the pacing of the game. They have a free demo on their site!

Check out crosscode. Similar graphics style, arpg with no turn based. More Zelda like but my favourite game tho

Time to shill CrossCode again :)

I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.

Haven’t had any issues with purely mail myself. I really like it

I’m getting more into using logseq. I like it fairly well. It’s not quite comfortable on mobile though so I’m sticking to obsidian there for the time being.

Thanks a bunch for sharing :)

So few f keys mapped :O

Have you looked into home row mods at all? I find them quite nice to use once you get used to them.

Edit: wtf is that second keymap LOL

Could you share your keymap for the qaz boards? I’m curious to see what those look like

I made the switch at the start of the year out of curiosity. I had worked for QNX as a student and though that I should have had a better understanding of the system, so I started using WSL for all my programming.

Then joined Lemmy in the summer and that increased my interest in trying it out full time. I was also getting increasingly disappointed with Windows pushing updates for Win11 and features like onedrive.

I’ve been super happy with it so far. I’ve gotten way more familiar with my OS and it’s been such a huge shift in perspective for me to be able to shape the way the OS works to my workflow rather than the inverse.

I use tasks and set up a self hosted caldav instance. I think if you donate to tasks they’ll do the syncing for you too? Don’t quote me on that though
