Love it when I see a cute game, go to play the demo, and the game has an unfortunately common but very disruptive bug that makes inaccessable to my left-handed ass.

You see, Windows 10 has a setting which lets you swap the primary/secondary mouse button from the typical left/right arrangement to a right/left arrangement to accomedate left-handed people like me who use their mouse in the left hand.

The common bug is that many games, including league of legends by million dollar company riot games, but also the game I wanted to try out, don't respect this setting at all, so you wind up with primary and secondary clicks backwards.

Its so annoying and inaccessable, and effects more games than I'd like.

A common related bug which affects more shit is the one where the game won't respect your keyboard layout.

I got a second keyboard and used a combination lua macros and autohotkey to make it so that I can type a bunch of non-qwerty keys using that second keyboard: one of the characters that was the onus for me getting that keyboard was I really wanted to be able to just type – instead of having to rigamarol a copy past.

And now in addition to having immediate access to – and —, I can just type ä, æ, ö, ü, ß, é, ñ, þ, ‚ (for 'commas' in tumblr tags), ‽, –, —,℉, ¡, ¿, ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰ (for citations /footnotes), and a bunch of other characters which have... varying degrees of usefulness, all set up in such a way that if ever I want to change the set up it's as easy as look up the unicode index for the character, and put it into a text doc on which ever line represents the key I want it to correspond to.

My current keyboard looks like this (one physical 8x6 keyboard with three modifiers):

I wholeheartedly reccommend that anyone who semi-regularly needs one or more characters not in their standard keyboard's layout bother with setting up a custom auxilary keyboard.

A pet peeve of mine, as many others, is when the dialogues format is a fucking horrible mess. But my first language is not english, so I can get over the comma being out the quotation marks instead of in, for example. But also, as many americans, I also do not like the „“. However, I can get over it too because that's just a cultural difference, being the German way of writing it. (Though I think other languages also do that, but don't remember the list.)

Now. Cultural difference is one thing. Using whatever the fuck you want because (general) you can not even phantom the idea of searching the correct punctuation mark is another thing.

My language used em dashes. And sometimes people just use everything but em dashes. I have seen people using the hyphen, the minus sign, and even the underscore. The damn underscore. I want to cry when I see the underscore in what is supposed to be dialogues.

Does anyone here draw in both desktop & mobile? I'm planning to get a galaxy tab at some point and since I don't really have any experience drawing on a (mobile) tablet, I'm curious abt how it feels to draw on one vs. drawing on pc w/ a graphic tablet 🤔

in other news I just ordered a new desk plus parts for a pc that my friend is going to help me build and hopefully after we do that I'll be able to make an ergonomic setup so I can eventually go back to writing without injuring my wrists 🥺
