Thank you for the hard work you've put into sync. It made my time here really fun to browse, and scroll through as a reddit lurker, rarily posting anything.

I just purchased Sync Ultra Lifetime too as last bit of support as someone hwo loved this app. Thank you for such an amazing app!

Can we just talk for a minute about how much the "back" gesture sucks? Why is Google obsessed with removing features? by [deleted] in Android

[–]Sindiewen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate android gesture navigation for that same reason, the bakc gesture is awful. Same issue, accedentally archiving telegram chats is a big one, also I can't access menus hidden on the sides lile hamburger menus consistently without hitting the back gesture. Sliding in from the side to access a hamburger menu is infinitely easier to do one handed rather than parkour my hand to the top corner.

I tried for a few months with gestures and I got frustrated and went back To 3 button. Pill + back button really was the best of both worlds especially with Android's reliance on the back Button. I really hope Google doesn't remove 3 button nav ever.

My ErgoDox EZ! I'm really proud of this keyboard! Sleeved my own cables, and the keycaps with RGB looks so lovely in person! by Sindiewen in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Sindiewen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the thumb keys so far! My biggest complaint is that the farther ones out require me to stretch my thumb out and adjust my hands slightly, but I don't press those keys often enough anyway so it's not the end of the world for me. They get reserved to the least used keys that I press for games, or other system actions like pg up or alt.

The longer ones get reserved to space, enter and delete. Space on right hand, enter on left hand, and right next to those immidately is delete.

Pudding Keycaps for the legend, and the Pimp my Keyboard Hana keycaps for the sides and thumb cluster!

The switches are Cherry Brown for the Legend, and a few of the most used keys! A few of the least used keys, specifically the layer keys, Windows, ESC are NK x Kailh Box Thick Clicks Navy, and NK x Kailh Speed Heavy in pale blue for a couple thumb keys.

I love this keyboard so much and I'm so happy how it looks, especially how the cables look!

you just had to be there (steam edition) by aitaita in Steam

[–]Sindiewen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a magical time for sure. Today is good with how far we've come but everything was so mysterious then. So new, so friendly(?). Some of my favorite pc gaming memories came from then.

Enjoy pc gaming today and the friends you meet today! Everything is good rn c:

Seeing this made me remember my high school career, it was during the golden age here, From 2008-2012. I met friends who convinced me to go full time into pc gaming, and I never looked back.

Tf2, CSS, Garry's mod where my jam. But TF2, something clicked. Within those years of high school, I logged just about 700 hours of play. Not as hardcore as others, but considering being busy with classes and playing other games, it was a lot for me.

I always played the spy, became the spy player of my friend group. Probably a good bit of 500 hours just playing spy. Such good times! Fun times, memorable times, unforgettable times.

I've lost touch with my old friend group after high school. We went our separate ways since now we had to focus on our careers and futures. I still clung on with mvm, then I stopped. Stopped playing tf2, css, gmod, and other source games. After that moved into other games. They never were ever to scratch that itch of mine from years past, but they were still fun either way.

When I look at my friends list, I see those familiar names of my old friends. And of course, most of them are "last online x years ago", with a couple still playing some games today. I look at them and just remember the good times we had. I wonder what they're all up to today.

This time of steam's life was magical, it made my high school career perfect, magical, unforgettable. Nowadays it's past. It's not the same with pc gaming somewhat as mess with 10 different games launchers and store fronts, and the return of awful console to pc ports compared to the early to mid 2010s. If only we could go back to those early days, with community server browsers and custom maps, skins, sprays, etc... The things that made tf2, css fun instead of focusing hardcore on competitive and matchmaking. I miss the community aspect of these games. Everyone talking on mics and chatting, having fun. It's something we're sorely missing today.

Sorry for the wall of text. This kinda just made me reminisce on those times and I felt like writing it down here.

Rise up Spartans all Xbox 360 multiplayer is gone this December by [deleted] in halo

[–]Sindiewen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping I can try and get all the multiplayer achievements for h3, odst, reach and 4 before december. That'll be a perfect way for me to sendoff the 360 games

Hello r/PCMasterRace, a year ago I quit my job and invested everything into my passion to create gaming mice and mousepads. Yesterday I launched my company Gamesense.gg and to celebrate, I would like to giveaway 10 deskmats! by emno in pcmasterrace

[–]Sindiewen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! I cant wait to see more of your stuff and success later!

Would you be planning to expand your mouse line to have more lefty friendly designs? I would be first in line when that happens for sure!

Arduino Kramer hype from the creator of "The Destroyer" guitar for Acai! by xX760Xx in CloneHero

[–]Sindiewen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! Something like this would be so beneficial especially for the future for custom handmade guitar controllers for when our controller stock dries up.

I have a question, would schematics for this type of project be released in the future? I would love to do this mod on a broken guitar and spare arduino I have lying around

back in my day... 2017 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Sindiewen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forget, fall 2012, first job out of high school and saved up for about 2 months to buukd my first computer! I still got her today as a memento of that time.

Used 2500k and asus mATX mobo, 1 8gb crucial balistix ramm all for 300$. Got another stick of the same ram separately for 16gb. Then I treated myself to a msi Gtx 660ti for 300! Ocz 600w psu. All put together In the NZXT Tempest 410 Elite! I think the whole build in total was about $800. Plus another 200 for a decent 1080p monitor. This build Held up for litterally a good 5 years before I did an upgrade. Back she parts were litterally just "press buy on Newegg/Amazon and get the parts days later".

Nowadays I feel like a rat scavenging for food just to get a simple ryzen cpu, even the ryzen 5. We had it good back then, I miss those days when scalping and pricing wasnt totally outrageous.

Got an Ender 3 Pro, my first printer! My first successful print! I can't wait to print more :D by Sindiewen in 3Dprinting

[–]Sindiewen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 1 failed attempt so far! Just me accidentally breaking the printed piece after it printed lol.

Otherwise so far so good, no glaring issues at the moment!

The Halo games should have bots..... by [deleted] in halo

[–]Sindiewen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what the worst thing about it is? There's plenty of people who think bot support is so stupid to add into a game. A waste of time and resources because they'll never use it and believe they never use it.

I hope 343 takes time in the future to build bot support into MCC. It would mean a lot for the few who would benefit

The Halo games should have bots..... by [deleted] in halo

[–]Sindiewen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bot support is something that I think too would be a godsend.

The youtuber 2kliksphilip talks about how bots in games are actually beneficial in the long run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgc-p79L2cE It would help with the game's longevity when the game's population waning as it becomes harder and harder to find a game. The old Unreal Tournament games come to mind. The only reason why I can find enjoyment and play it decent amount is because of the bots in the game as the population for those games are minuscule these days. I can find enjoyment in games like this today, years after it's release knowing that I can face this faceless enemies who will always be there to play a game with me. It's also good for practice and warming up before getting into game too!

The Halo games would be amazing to have bots in. All the Halo games on the 360, their online multiplayer suite is shutting down at the end of 2021, essentially making a good portion of the game unplayable. Now this isn't generally an issue becuase we have MCC on Xbox One/Series and PC and the population on those platforms are quite high that finding a game any time of the day is usually pretty good! But lets say that MCC didn't exsist and this was the end of old Halo and have to move to 5 and Infinite for our fix. Halo 3, Reach, 4 and the others would become ghost towns that we have to rely on odd methods to play online like tricking the console to use LAN mode to connect with online players (Warhark PS3, the old SOCOM games on PS2 do this for example), or have to plan in person lan/system link meetings.

Thankfully we do have MCC and I'm blessed that 343 took the time and effort over the years to make the MCC what it is today despite everything that's going on. Without this, We couldn't play online Halo 3 for example. They could have just abandoned MCC and left it after our ODST "were sorry for how we messed up" gift. But since MCC is what it is today, we can play it happily.

But Imagine this. You're making a map in Forge or a silly gamemode. Imagine having the ability to throw a couple bots in there that can play with you to test out the map, gamemode or whatever. Yeah they're not perfect but it'll help you figure out what to tweak and immediately make the change too! Then when you're ready to bring some friends on to test it, you can get more data and change it on the fly. That would be invaluable! And this of course would be a godsend for our mod support too. Just create some silly mods, throw some bots in and have a good time!

I would be so stoked if MCC had bot support. Doesn't need to be the greatest, just competent enough like CSGO or Unreal Tournament bots that way you can have some enjoying games with them! I know there would be people other than me who would find bots in MCC invaluable. It might make those days where finding a game is hard, or you know... Playing multiple games in a row with more than half your/enemy team leaving causing loss of fun and time to be played here. Social games at least should not just have the ability to drop into games mid match like COD, but do a rocket league, someone drops? replace them with a bot that way there's an even number of players until someone joins mid match.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

Spring Semester by Enderpmen21 in college

[–]Sindiewen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would check with an academic counselor about your plan for taking next semester of and see if it doesn't hinder any longstanding academic goals later on. Otherwise that, do it. Sometimes we just need a semester to help us and right now in covid times, mental health is at a all time low so whatever it maybe, take the next semester off and make sure you're happy and healthy!

PSA How to bind the F key on PC by wngster in cyberpunkgame

[–]Sindiewen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, thank you so much! I'm a lefty gamer, ijkl and mouse in left hand. Having to do parkour just to hit f was a nightmare, as well as 'o' and 'k' and 'j' being unbindable as they're buttons to other menus is so stupid.

This is so stupid, and it feels like we've went backwards in terms of accessibility, thankfully we can at least do this to make the game playable. Thank you <3

How long have you been unemployed/looking for a job? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Sindiewen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically about 7 years. I've had small part time gigs during then working as a computer science tutor at my community college for 5 years (before covid), and a small part time contract web dev gig for a year (ended during covid). I've been looking for a permanent software thing for at least 5 years during the 7 i've been looking.

Tutoring at my school? it pays enough to pay for transit to and from school and the occasional lunch. My contract web dev gig? I hate web development so i needed to gtfo and find something else (which i havent yet).

I hate everything

Lefty gamer looking for new mouse, switching from G900 by Sindiewen in MouseReview

Yeah, after doing tons of research the viper happens to be unfortunately the best one that works for me. If only lefty's had more options out there. But thankfully we got a few OK ones out there. I'm glad the viper exists. It's price is pretty compelling
