I’ve had that thought before too, but until I just read this now I’ve never thought about it before but… we could just make a wireless T9 keyboard. It could be about the size of a car’s keyfob, basically all battery and 3x4 grid of tactile buttons. And so all you do with it is hold it in your off hand and type with your thumb, that’s it. But it’s a Bluetooth keyboard that just understands T9 and works with any phone. Or even tablets or laptops if you wanted to pace around while typing.
Like, there are chorded keyboards and stuff like that, but I don’t know I’ve seen a thumb-only phone-layout wireless keyboard before…

Or even better, walk up, look through the peephole, shake your head, and then walk away as though they can’t see this whole display.
- Comment on Just found this behind a wendys dumpster 6 days ago:
Huh. Did you check to see if it had a name on it? Maybe someone left it for their friend. You could check inside the Wendy’s and see if the person told any of the staff who they were leaving it for?

- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 1 week ago:
I do wish we metric places (or at least Canada) were more flexible and familiar with the whole system. Sure we have milliliters and centimeters and kilograms, but people say things all the time like 2000km or 2 million kgs, or even things like 25000mAh. And I get it, people get into a frame of reference and want to stay there, but I wish people had the agility and practice to say 2 megameters, 2 gigagrams, and, well 25 amp hours, and still be understood. That last one’s not hard, but packaging still seems to be stupid about it.

- Comment on Bisexuality released in 1995 and the devs still haven't dropped an update 2 weeks ago:
Everybody most certainly did not switch over! They hard forked it and sure some people moved to the new fork because they liked the maintainers more and it has the community they vibe with, but a lot of people stayed with the old one and are still using it. The trademark stayed with the original fork, which means the new fork had to develop a new flag which not everyone in the community is stoked about…
There’s a couple side-forks with small communities, like Omni, but most people consider them pretty niche.

Then that’s good news!
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 3 weeks ago:
Are all the people who are in the warehouse employees? Are they all “full time” or whatever class of employee gets the new perks?
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 3 weeks ago:
That’s my assumption, but I have no data. And so I assume that the people that people think of when they think of “amazon employee” are actually not helped by this change.
- Comment on Amazon raises its minimum wage, adds new grocery and banking benefits for employees 3 weeks ago:
Does anyone want to do more work than me? Because I’d be curious who counts as an “employee”, but not so curious as to dig.
Like, are all of the people who pick things at warehouses employees, or just a select few? Drivers, etc?

Okay, in Jerboa it looks like you need the space between “:::” and the “spoiler” and there can’t be empty lines, it’s got to be the spoiler header, then the line you’re marking up, then the closing tag? At least that’s how my test looked to me, but maybe my other tests screwed up the parser 😛

Hmm, I’m in Jerboa, but it typically has spoiler tags. Maybe it needs a space between the colons and the word “spoiler”?
- Comment on the last season was so ass 1 month ago:
This doesn’t render as a spoiler for me, BTW
- Comment on I stand with Spider-Woman 🏳️⚧️ 1 month ago:
I know it’s not the point of this… but I actually really like in this one that Petra has roughly the same silhouette as before and didn’t instantly become some hippy curvascacious pin-up.
Maybe that’s dysphoric for people, I don’t know, but to me, a cis-guy, it feels weird that she’d come out as trans and suddenly have a magical-girl transformation and her pelvis would grow three sizes that day.
I guess I’m saying she’s still Spider-Woman with narrow hips?

I feel like every sitcom and many movies have plot lines based around people getting up out of their beds in the night to go to the kitchen for food.
I have never in my life ever done this. I’ve never even wanted to do this. I don’t think I understand the idea.
Is this a thing people do, or is it just a sitcom premise to get people into strange situations?
Is it an American thing?
- Comment on Is this true? 1 month ago:
Right, I get that. But I wouldn’t consider the scenery nothing! I liked the scerey!
- Comment on Is this true? 1 month ago:
I think this is a difference between us as players. I’m not a competitionist at all, and I don’t even remember what economy the Korok seeds were for. I probably finished the game with a ton of them collected and unspent.
But in my mind they weren’t meant to be collected as a goal on their own. I’d be exploring up a mountain or whatever, just because I wanted to know what was on the other side, and when I got up to the peak I’d look out over the landscape and enjoy it for what it is. And then while I was up there I’d see a weird rock and go “ah, the developers wanted me to be up here looking at this view” and I’d move the rock, get some little fireworks, and then I’d have a buddy to enjoy the scenery with.
And then hours later, maybe months in real time, I’d be climbing around and see a Korok and go “Oh! I must have been up here before! Hey little guy” and then keep going.
So I liked them because it was something put there by the devs to show that they intended this place to be visited; that they put some attention here, and I had come to a place that wasn’t just endless grass or empty procedural trees or something. It was full of stuff, even if it was silly little guys.
Oh, and you can drop rocks on their heads and they go “oof”. That’s a good one.

I loved BotW as it was… but to be honest if they offered more dungeons without changing the exploring part, I would have taken that on top, for sure.
I did hate Tears of the Kingdom, though, so I guess it’s a delicate balance that just happened to land in my hitbox on BotW.
- Comment on Is this true? 1 month ago:
Hmmm… I see what you to mean… but it’s in my top 5 games of all time, and none of the other Zelda games are. So I think it just shimmied into a different genre, which I get could be a problem for an existing fanbase that liked the old genre.

Arguably Outer Wilds.
- Comment on Simply Bananas 1 month ago:
They did, actually yeah! And I agree it was a little weird. They had to hit the same “Oomph Oomph” pattern of Beast Wars, so it was “Bease Tees”, basically. It works, it’s the version that plays in my head when I think about it, but it’s definitely not as natural as two short words…
- Comment on Simply Bananas 1 month ago:
Beasties in Canada. I guess they didn’t like “wars” in the title of a kids show? But we got an American station too, so when we’d watch it in Ontario it’d be Beasties, and then we’d flip the channel and it’d be Beast Wars coming out of Buffalo. As far as I know everything else was the same, or at least I never noticed anything…
