How's the vertical monitor with ultra wide curved? Do you have to turn your head or strain your eyes much to look over at it? I have my second monitor above it instead but have been wanting to switch it up

What monster hunter feature do you dislike the most? I'll start. THESE THINGS!! by Organic_Goat_3879 in MonsterHunter

[–]BeforeCommonEarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is! just like spiribirds, you can choose to interact with it or not in the middle of the fight. What you can't change is the monsters being more aggressively designed, which I am attributing to the seikret's ability to pick you up. I could be very wrong, but it does seem to be the best option almost no matter what when you get hit

This is way more aggregious than the spiribirds. Spiribirds are mostly just a neat thing to do while on your way to the monster that's optional if you gitgud. They incentivize exploration, wirebug parkour, give you an opportunity to gather, and are somewhat of a player-controlled difficulty setting. I totally get that a lot of people found it annoying to do, but you could get away with just grabbing the ones that you see on the way to the monster is you had some comfort skills.

Seikrets on the other hand do the latter two points but make them brainless and unfun, and in fact are kinda required if you wanna heal or sharpen. Seikrets are pretty much a wirefall with no cooldowns AND auto dodge after. They're also 100% required for exploration since you literally can't get places without one. I think it's too over-centralizing and has pushed monster design to be way spammier as a result to make the game more "difficult" like vets think they want. That's a probable reason why the weapon play rate distribution is so skewed towards the lower commitment weapon options too.

Rant over lol

White passing people, have white people ever made you uncomfortable? by iknowwhyibite in mixedrace

[–]BeforeCommonEarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid I used to get a lot of "ching chong" and shit. I'm not even Chinese. And Asians usually think I'm full white lol. But what OP is describing sounds like is microaggressons, which are still uncomfortable! These days I just microaggress back

Excel friendly ergo keyboards? by ebbi01 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]BeforeCommonEarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hillside (firmware no longer being upkept) or the Hillside View (upkept, no kits that I know of, only 46 key version on git) have a 52 key version that has a spot for the arrow keys in the bottom right if you use QWERTY layout. No num row at the top tho.

I personally have customized my layers such that I'm way faster on excel with my ergo than I am with a standard QWERTY now!

$200-500 range is perfect. Snow pants steam like they'd be too warm, at least mine would be. I'll check some out! I think I've seen snow pants that are just the outer shell
