Colemak claims to not remove QWERTY proficiency, but I think that’s wrong.
I use Colemak at work and QWERTY at home. That way I keep my proficiency at both. I also game on my PC and I can’t be bothered to edit the keybindings for every single game I play

Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!
Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. “It” is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as “it.” If unsure, use they/them.
Using “they” for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there’s no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.
A similar example is “you.” “You” used to be only a plural, with “thou” being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now “you” can be used as singular or plural, like how “they” can be singular or plural.
Singular “they” was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.
I suspect it’s not a lack of playtesters that’s the problem, but harsh deadlines and crunch. That type of environment leads to tech debt to get things working fast, which leads to hard-to-manage code, which leads to bugs…
I also thought toggles were unnecessary, but then I read something that changed my mind.
Toggles have an immediate effect, whereas checkboxes don’t.
For example, a light/dark mode setting. You could use a checkbox, but users have become used to the above behaviour, and so a toggle may be more appropriate.
Checkboxes, therefore, are more of a form element.
Personally, I’d still be fine with just checkboxes, but that design intention is something I hadn’t known but makes sense after I heard it
I found it hard to read the text without any vertical spacing between the lines
Damn that character is terrifying, well done. I might have to check out your horror games now
When I was doing long distance runs, there was nothing more I wanted afterwards than some chocolate milk

Pretty sure they’re making a joke
There are still subreddits though, they’re just called communities
I don’t fully disagree but that was exactly Kira’s thinking lol (at least at the start)
I tried Niagara at first, but wanted something FOSS and switched to KISS Launcher which is similar. It’s search-based, like Niagara. My friend bought the Niagara launcher and loves it, but it’s not for me
Not very important but I remember it strangely well.
I was 8 years old. My teacher asked “What is one hundred times one hundred?”
I raised my hand and said “Ten thousand!”
“No, it’s one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand.”
“But… It’s ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?”
“No! Sit down, it’s one thousand. I’m the teacher, I should know.”
I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn’t apologise.
NES Tetris. I have a little emulator device that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP, and that’s been my go to while I’m traveling
Yeah I’ve never seen the last panel before
You can get browser extensions to have more control over video speed
This is likely not the Generative AI, LLM-slop type of AI you’re thinking of.
I hate generative AI. But other forms of AI and machine learning have been used for much longer and haven’t facilitated the building of ecologically harmful datacenters.
For example, AlphaFold, which is an AI program that can predict how proteins fold and is an incredibly useful tool.
I expect that the use of AI here would be similar: something trained for a specific purpose, not just generic generative AI tech like ChatGPT
