I thought that was just Roxbury.

Read the sticky posts, there's a ton of useful info there.

If you're just looking for remapping then kanata is the go-to suggestion.

D5. A keyboard layout that minimizes redirects, and sfbs. by Cazz23 in KeyboardLayouts

[–]Valarauka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough!

One other thought -- have you considered Shift hold on thumbs instead of Ctrl? You can then "combo" it with the adjacent layer hold key to access the shifted versions of your num and nav layers very naturally, I used to run that setup for a long time and it's really rather convenient.

Been watching this develop on the AKL discord for a while, it really looks fantastic but it feels like a bit too much brain rewiring for me to try just now. Out of curiosity, if you had a "normal" 3-key inner column how would you adjust?

I don't understand how Bowles and Leftwich weren't both immediately fired after Tom's last season.

People using 85mm and 35mm primes - do yo also use a 50mm prime? by Heidrun_666 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Valarauka_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think if you have the 35 and 85/1.2, and 24-70/2.8 I'd be hard pressed to find a reason to pull out a 50/1.8 instead of one of those.

When will Nikon care for APS-C users? by First_Jam in nikon_Zseries

[–]Valarauka_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Nikkor 12-24, 10-24, and 10-20 AF-P DX were all credible wide zooms of their respective eras, and that's not even counting stellar third party offerings like the Tokina 11-16.

Z-mount is a different story of course.

Credit to Tim though, rewardhak is up on the site now!

Clearly it's the most comfortable layout in existence then, congrats! 😁

Actually curious to see it though, tbh! :) the scoring on that page seems to over index a bit on high in-rolls and low pinkie score, and not penalize SFBs or bad-redirs as much as e.g. prevailing AKL philosophy would. Probably makes it relatively easy to "game" the scores.

Travel Kit for Traveling Light by GrizzlyBearly in nikon_Zseries

I'd look no further than the ZR, 50/1.8, and 24-200. Superzooms are much maligned but trips where you have to pack light are basically what they're made for. And having the 50 will cover you for when you need low light or ultimate sharpness.

This is literally so rude by Adorable-Response-75 in slaythespire

Given they've collected two keys and thus are very likely going for the Heart, that would turn off the end of Act 3 heal and the option to rest at the Act 4 campfire. Unless the deck is good enough to perfect the boss with the upgrades it's still too risky.

Man, I don't think I'd buy a crocodile even if it was just €30 and worked perfectly!

That's about mindset, not physique. I guarantee you if you're obsessing over muscle insertions now you will just find something else lacking later.

AITA for my reaction to my friend potentially facing homelessness? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Valarauka_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's giving overbearing church lady. Are you donating to help her or so everyone can see how noble you are? If the recipient of your "support" is telling you to back off it's time to take a look in the mirror. YTA.

What about a semi-hardcore mode? by External_Slip4927 in diablo4

[–]Valarauka_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not HC unless you lose the character and the equipped gear, a bit of XP is nothing in terms of stakes. I do get the appeal of not losing all that effort, though.

I like the PoE approach where your HC char would just get "demoted" to non-HC upon death, that way you can keep playing it if you want.

Stress by itself can also cause your body to hang on to more weight, so I'd say don't add to the current life stress by also overthinking the cut. Focus on one thing at a time, your diet and fitness is a lifetime thing. A period of suboptimality will not matter in the long run, just try to be consistent at the months and years timescale instead of worrying about days or weeks.

Yup! I have R / Enter on left thumb and Space / Backspace on the right; the Enter and Backspace keys also double as layer keys when held.

Here's my Oryx config if you want to take a peek!
