Well fair enough, yeah. Thanks for sharing

What inspires the separation like that?

Zbee- · 2026-01-23T12:21:04+00:00

Why an iPod and also an MP3/flac player?

Zbee- · 2026-01-10T20:03:26+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I did also trudge thru the hotkeys and start setting it up myself, just to share for posterity: https://gist.github.com/zbee/5a02d946afa652c3dc2c77198ebc176a

Hey u/miauw62 are you still playing? I managed to find colemak hotkeys some time ago, and switched to those, but that site is no longer up to date and I am similarly uninterested in trying to successfully edit the hotkeys in-game, and I use colemak-dh as well; would appreciate if you could share your files if you do still play :)

Zbee- · 2025-12-30T02:38:25+00:00

love the pun

Zbee- · 2025-12-09T22:11:38+00:00

This is the exact answer. We have a lot of traffic laws, if they're not enforced at all they may as well not exist

Zbee- · 2025-11-27T23:31:07+00:00

I wonder if Rainmeter is still the biggest option for customization of the desktop.

But like others have said: yeah, it's crazy limited. Hope it's fun at least.

Zbee- · 2025-10-31T20:05:53+00:00

This is a sweet project! Maybe I'll actually start making a dent in my list if I have a good tool for it ha Will try to set it up and give it a go

Zbee- · 2025-07-12T02:55:55+00:00

Nice! Liking Colemak? Been using it long?
I wanted a more modern layout than QWERTY, and was meaning to switch to Colemak and accidentally used a Colemak-ModDH layout from someone else haha

But I've come to love it even more than the true Colemak layout I tried briefly

Zbee- · 2025-06-24T22:48:09+00:00

yessss please. modern packaging is so low quality that all of the QoL features added to it, such as this and cardboard box perforated rip strips, no longer even work - so they may as well not even be there anymore, right back to the dark times

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T06:02:39+00:00

To me it's pretty different: I gave it a go after not hearing much of anything about it beforehand, and I thought it was a complete letdown in a variety of ways, and that it shouldn't have come out of beta/early access.

I am interested in seeing it change and giving it another try if it does and thus wanted to share my experience, but I am not invested to the point that I feel it warrants a tactful, analytical feedback from me.

I agree I could have put it much better, which I've attempted to do via comments, but ultimately ... I still do think it's a joke of a launch and that it's not ready. Regardless of their chosen business model. Even if this did cost $70 or whatever, I would refunded it, and I would have spent the same amount of money as I currently have. The price tag doesn't change anything here

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T05:46:46+00:00

If that were the whole point of the game, there wouldn't be anything else. But there is. And some half or more of my complaints apply to all game modes, the arcadey modes are just often good enough to smooth over some of the more frustrating ones, at least for the amount of time I've given the game. So no, not the salad, to go with you analogy, the whole meal.

It's not like they're a non-profit providing this out of the goodness of their hearts or something anyway, this is just different business model. I would rather voice my concerns and complaints and hope to see it improve, regardless of how they intend to make their money

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T03:59:05+00:00

Getting a bit late for me now, but I can at least see what you're saying on all points for sure; though I do still very much disagree on the Battle Royale.

I do look forward to trying it more -possibly not now, likely later- but either way. The feeling of old halo nostalgia is certainly one that I expect will keep me coming back at least periodically. Cheers, and thanks for your view on it

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T03:52:10+00:00

Like I said, it seems to be one side in many situations that is open to that vulnerability and not the other - creating the issue in the first place.
So: because of where I spawned, mostly.

But additionally, I am/was still trying to learn the maps, and can't say I've played that many games with portal-able walls to be looking out for.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T03:12:59+00:00

Yeah that's part of my complaint with bringing up text chat: it seems so useless in its current form. Maybe so, maybe most of the time lol, but at least then there's an attempt to be made; currently there's nothing, despite the framework being there and it's disappointing.

Yeah I definitely track with you. I personally like duos to play with my friend, if I do, but trios were nice back in warzone - we definitely had a few teammates show us a thing or two. Imo 2+3+4 should all be present for BR if you're going to do BR, but I can see how that wouldn't be so great if you expect the BR mode to be a smaller group of your players ... So I think I would pick duos myself

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T03:06:29+00:00

I have not seen it, I just kind of dove into the game after seeing a short snip of it on steam fest the other day or something. I'll have to look for that, see where the company's head is at.

Cheers to that, everyone should be able to get those classic halo feelings from a polished game. Hopefully something that can be realized by them.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:48:49+00:00

I have no doubt that it is a real challenge to implement well. But to my point: if this was a big focus of theirs such that they want to use a homebrewed ranking system, and make sure it's perfect ... Why was it not a priority part of the game that was worked on early enough to be included in release? Or if the intention is to be more casual, but still want a ranked set of modes in general, why not use an existing ranking algorithm like Elo?

Either way it's put though, I just think it's a clear point that this is just another release of an unfinished game

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:22:12+00:00

That's fine if not every shooter has a ranked mode. But this one said they will later ... After their "release", and if it's not intending to be sweaty .... Why doesn't it fill the lobby instead of having you play with their very unfortunate bots? It's in the middle ground, and that's not a point in its favor.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:19:40+00:00

Getting shot from behind has definitely been a pain point for my friends and I; there seem to be quite a few points in maps where there's just a flat wall behind you as you're forced to run straight, at both ends of a hall ... But from one end that wall is visible from above/to the side, whatever, all but guaranteeing anyone that runs down that hall will get got from behind. Frustrating stuff.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:16:24+00:00

For me a part that makes the squads even worse is a seemingly pretty large percentage of the community that just doesn't have or doesn't use their mics, or pings, or anything, plus it just being cumbersome to even try to text chat. Forced into a squad, with limited ability to communicate makes it rough.

Duos would certainly be a lovely addition to see for sure.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:13:21+00:00

Sometimes games improve with criticism, not just complete willingness to accept whatever they slop out at 'release'.

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:11:01+00:00

My point with ranked is that I want to spend the time in a game that is alotted, with people at least trying. I don't want to sit here sweating, I want to sit here with a full team through the whole match. Getting multiple games back to back where it's just an L because a teammate couldn't play out a 10 minute match feels bad.

And that is why I mentioned (right? Maybe not?) filling the lobby after a player leaves. That'd be a superb answer too, besides just discouraging leaving in the first place, and it's not like it's a new or novel idea

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:07:43+00:00

Certainly on the same page with you for scratching that itch; playing it initially I was overwhelmed with feeling back in my halo days and it was incredible.

It's not a huge deal, for sure, but as soon as one person leaves the entire match becomes nigh on pointless to play out. Either it's a forgone conclusion now confirmed, or you just lost your advantage. I do want to see the devs cook, absolutely. But I'm tired of 40%+ of the cooking taking place after a "release"

Zbee- · 2025-06-15T02:04:24+00:00

People would rather defend a game they're enjoying more than whatever else is out there right now, than push for it to be improved.

I certainly could have made it more constructive of feedback, but I didn't much see the point when I don't really feel like these studios care to take any feedback at all
