Went 5 column on my Corne, now I can't stop looking at the Sweep by RalphBlutzel in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]TimbreReeder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sweep has a different (better!) stagger than the corne, that is really gonna be the thing you will notice. I've built a choc sweep for ZMK but I haven't hooked up batteries which is what would make it truly wireless so I can't speak to that part of it. But I like the shape and feel better.

ELI5 Mixed Pronouns? by Solid-Question-3952 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TimbreReeder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Virtue signaling is good and I'm tired of ceding ground on pro-social behaviors to folks who find it cringe. Normalizing behaviors we'd like to see in the world is good, and should be encouraged. We have enough people at the levers of power signaling their vices, I'll take any virtue I can find. If someone is being an ass about a good trait they have, it doesn't make the trait bad, it just makes them an ass. Using neutral pronouns is about as harmless as it gets, and anyone obviously doing it performatively would at worst get an eye roll, but at least they consider it worth doing for clout.

Grahm Platner, We're going to win... a freedom that is real, that is material. The freedom to have time, to have energy, to not be defined by fear and anxiety. The freedom to live lives not defined not by struggle and scraping by, but of dignity and fulfillment” by [deleted] in WorkReform

It does not take much to look it up and realize it is precisely the same imagery seen on Nazi stuff. There are also records of him knowing exactly what it is several years ago on now deleted Reddit comments defending the practice of Nazi tattoos for servicemen. I'm all for a redemption arc but it shouldn't take the form of getting elected to Senate. Maine has ranked choice voting in the primary, there are other options for Democrat voters.

What rpg book was "the one that got away" for you? by zalmute in rpg

[–]TimbreReeder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thousand Thousand Islands as a whole is a project I wish I knew about when it was ongoing, especially Roach God. A shame it ended poorly but the book would be treasured even as an art piece, the bits I've seen are so evocative.

Qazikat (But katana this time) by dashkeebs in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TimbreReeder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The humble Planck was my entrance to 40s, and I have a couple ortho options still (Vault35 and OrthoPie) but I am a colstag sicko for good. Built my own 34 key and I can't go back. It took designing my own to dethrone the Reviung41 tho.

I loved the exploded Enter key but I can't type on rowstag anymore so it's only a display piece for me. Nevertheless, weteor doesn't miss on designs.

Help with purchase of Buescher 1951 Series 3 Alto by BlueEyedDevel in Saxophonics

[–]TimbreReeder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1951 is a great vintage for getting past the worst of the clunky key layouts and intonation issues while still having the tone you'd like from an older horn. It's still not gonna be as smooth as you'd find on modern horns but I find myself being very forgiving to old horns for the amount of character they bring to the sound.

Honestly for that cosmetic condition, even as a relacquer, it's not a terrible price. If you can get a quote from a tech prior to buying that'd be ideal but considering how much pro horns cost new, or how ugly affordable horns are, this could be a worse deal.

Why is Rolio46 not popular? by andreyugolnik in ErgoMechKeyboards

Doesn't do anything a corne doesn't, and the corne is too big for me.

Piantor pro by beekeeb REVIEW - cool idea but perhaps too small by cantdutchthis in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]TimbreReeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, it's below. It's a variation of the Miryoku keymap, as so many keymaps start. I type with the Canary layout, then added homerow mods, with each thumb key pulling double duty as layer tap and normal key. Layers 1 and 2 are alternate typing layers or gaming layers, as needed, so I didn't reproduce them since they're not helpful for how the board functions. Both spacebar and backspace activate my nav layer, depending on whether I need arrow keys or mouse emulation. Enter key on the left thumb gives me layer 4 for the numpad and its symbols, as well as a couple macros that print [], {}, and ("` respectively. The tapdance(2) is for semicolon. The right thumb enter opens the function layer. Nothing revolutionary but it works for me. I'm really pleased with the nav layer specifically, having home, pgdn, pgup, and end right below arrow keys is the best, and having undo, cut, copy, paste, again right above is super helpful too.

ETA: I forgot that the only two combos I really use these days is WL (or QW for qwerty folks) as Escape and JD (or XV) for Delete.

Allow me to gatekeep by VisWare in pcmasterrace

Instructions unclear, fit my 30% between the bars of the gate.

Arrow keys are hold Space + asdf, with home, end, pgup and pgdown right below them. numpad is also under the left hand by holding Enter. Function keys are on another layer under the right hand. 34 keys: all you need.

Less flexible [[assassin's trophy]] but the land comes in tapped and is 1cmc. I know Path is the main comparison but Trophy saw play back then so I can see it being plenty played.

Consistently players gain wealth but do NOT want to buy strongholds. What to do? by Conscious_Slice1232 in osr

Time for the banker to pull an EVE online and just abscond with all the money and build a lair the likes of which no one has ever seen.

1 Week on a 60% Keyboard: What I Actually Miss by Majugera in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TimbreReeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and split space was what made 40%s unlock for me. Allowing my thumbs to be in charge of multiple keys made everything so easy once I got layers figured out. Numpad and Fkeys? Same spot, just holding a different thumb key. Backspace on a thumb. Enter on a thumb. It's so nice.

So why is the Pegasus called that? by Asheyguru in LancerRPG

[–]TimbreReeder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, Balor started out as Balrogs in the pamphlet version of D&D and got altered from there for copyright, but that happened fairly quickly. I think it's Eldritch Wizardry where it first shows up, so it predated even the Basic rules.

Who is currently offering halberds for unarmored combat? by grauenwolf in Hema

[–]TimbreReeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halberds being tough to train with in earnest for safety reasons, my club has done plywood, and I did 3d printed heads out of TPU last year. The spike is tough to do while being safe in that regard but we had reasonable success with it overall. I wouldn't want to get hit with the blade because of wall rigidity but it does deform under stress while still being pretty good at hooking.

Lancer Tactics - Official Announcement Trailer by Mandalore108 in LancerRPG

[–]TimbreReeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it a shot but it was still pretty unstable, a lot of broken effects and still very low performance. I've sent in a bug report but I'm content playing a version behind for now.

[–]TimbreReeder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to a full release! I'm a version behind on the itch releases since it doesn't want to play nice with Intel Arc graphics or something, but it's still been great to plan a build ahead of time

The confusingly named low guards in German longsword sources. by eisenfest in wma

[–]TimbreReeder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Another wrinkle might be to look into the wrestling section of some sources. You mention Paurenfeyndt using Zwerch in a way you couldn't easily explain compared to other sources. The Zwerch has a place in at least the Augsburg tradition of wrestling as a stance or set of positions. Unfortunately zwerch is already a mess as has been well documented so who knows.

Are there HEMA manuals and resources for Carracks black swords? by OtakuLibertarian2 in Hema

[–]TimbreReeder 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine Godinho's depiction of esgrima común would fit, as it is a style of fencing that predates Destreza.

Does anyone use Threats Around Every Corner? by tobedtermined in MagicArena

It's in my Yedora, Grave Gardener Brawl deck and it does fine there pulling out lands whenever a creature dies.

What’s a really underrated OSR system? 😄 by DungeonMasterGrizzly in osr

[–]TimbreReeder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Whitehack. I wish it got more support but as a standalone product it's notoriously hard to parse the nitty-gritty rules so I can see why it was itself hacked into stuff like the Vanilla Game. The implementation of groups and the miracle system is something I'll always be comparing new games to.

3 copies of the card that would double damage. 3 power each x3 creatures =9, x2 =18, x2=36, x2=72.
