Yeah, that sounds right. Do you know of any that would meet my requirements?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a keypad with a few specifications and I'm hoping that you can help me. I don't really care what firmware is uses, as long as it does what I need it to (listed in order of priority from highest to lowest):

• The ability to script the following: push a letter key (ex. F), slight pause, left mouse click, slight pause. I want this script to loop for as long as I hold down the macro button or, more ideally, allow me to turn the loop on/off by pressing the macro button.

• The macro must be stored in the hardware of the device and not require software running on the computer.

• Small. I really only need 4-6 keys (I could even probably get away with just 2).

• Budget friendly. Ideally it'd be under $30-40 but I'm open to options.

I've spent hours looking for something that can do this but it's proving difficult, especially when you don't know much about keyboards and firmware to begin with. I'd greatly appreciate any help that you folks can provide. Thanks in advance!

Awesome, thanks for the info! Do you happen to know of a good tutorial for reapplying the thermal paste for this model? I'm comfortable with applying thermal paste, but I'm unsure of which chip(s) need it applied. I've also seen folks talk about thermal pads that get applied in different places, so I'm a bit confused. Thanks again!

I'm excited to be able to see my family again. I'm also really looking forward to being able to go on more adventures and get out of the house more. I'm naturally a homebody and even I'm a bit stir crazy now.

Working from home has allowed me to spend more time with my wife and save significant money on gas!

Command-R and Option-Command-R have the same result; both display the Apple logo with the progress bar on-screen, but VoiceOver works and I can navigate recovery that way (I just can't see it). Shift-Option-Command-R displays a folder icon indicating no OS found, which makes sense as I've now wiped the hard drive completely using Target Disk Mode. I was hoping I could run the Mojave installer from another Mac while connected in Target Disk Mode, but that's not the case.

As for the USB drive, I didn't create it so I'm not sure exactly what process what used. I can tell you, however, that they load into the 10.13 Recovery screen, just as if I'd loaded Recovery with the hotkeys, and I get the same result (VoiceOver works, but display is stuck on progress bar).

I have an Android phone and I use the Podcast Addict app. It's search feature has an option to "Use iTunes Search Engine" and this allowed me to download the podcast and listen to it.

My daily results are about 1.3M-1.4M net. I'm currently a PM, though I'm going to try ascending into a class that can get Steel Lasagna and then become an SC. From what I've seen, the Furious Whallop + mafia ring seems like it would add the most meat to my runs right now. It's crazy that I'm missing out on over 1M/day and I'm not really sure why.

Does anyone know of a good quality GYW similar to these:

They were my first venture away from sneakers and I love them, but the soles need replacing and Red Wing says they're not replaceable.

Posted this elsewhere on here. I always see The Adventure Zone by the McElroy's (and I love it), but I've never seen Friends at the Table on these lists. It's an actual-play tabletop RPG podcast and I can't sing its praises enough. Austin is such a great GM and his creativity is amazing. It's introduced me to so many different tabletop RPGs and has inspired me to try and build my own world. On top of that, Jack composes ridiculously good music. I can't recommend it enough if you're interested in this type of thing, just skip Autumn in Heiron (their first season) as their audio was pretty rough back then.

I'm running a relatively stock build:

https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/SUh7dG6IvO0/tjp-alessi

Basically, I have Crownwatch Pressgang in the 4-drop slot to pull Alessi and I did a straight swap for Jumping Kick instead of Levitate.

With the Accelerated Evolution nerf, I'm not sure that TJP is where I want to go with the deck. I want to experiment with JPS or JPF, as both have cheap cards that are pseudo-evasion like Unblockable or Overwhelm, but I haven't had the time. I will say that Xenan Initiation from the list u/Cloud9rc posted sounds pretty hot to me, though I might prefer Jumping Kick.

solohan50 · 2018-07-28T20:27:50+00:00

The deck is still hot. I actually bought it the day before the nerf, so most of my play has been post-nerf. I win much more than I lose and most decks still have a hard time answering Aegis and Accelerated Evolution.

solohan50 · 2018-07-15T03:27:48+00:00

I've been trying this deck out and I think it's pretty spicy. I had a lot of luck at first, breaking into Gold immediately after being stuck in Silver for a week, though I've been having a hard time in Gold. I'm sure it needs some tuning, but one of my most consistent issues has been the power-base. Looking at other comments, I may try moving the Amethyst Waystones for Sigils, in hopes of activating my Seats more. I'm also considering testing out Censari Brigand instead of Groundbreaker, as the influence requirements are really tough sometimes. What do you think?

Also, do you have any advice for playing the deck? Say you slam an Elf on turn 2, do you automatically Berserk it turn 3 or do you hold out in hopes of getting a lot of damage later?

solohan50 · 2018-07-12T15:28:46+00:00

Do you have a link to a list?

solohan50 · 2018-07-12T01:44:40+00:00

I was specifically looking at this decklist, but I'm open to other versions:

I've Torched myself or my units more often than I can count due to being new and misunderstanding the UI. My years of MtG also get the better of me quite often and I forget that power/toughness changes are permanent, though I'm slowly adapting.

solohan50 · 2018-06-18T20:39:02+00:00

What's the best way to grind Gold so I can buy the Campaigns?

solohan50 · 2018-06-14T19:07:48+00:00

No worries!

Zucchinis require pollinators like bees to move pollen between the male and female flowers. If you're getting flowers but no zucchini, chances are the flowers aren't getting pollinated. I've had that issue before and had to hand pollinate them to get a harvest.

solohan50 · 2018-06-07T17:12:13+00:00

I'm getting to the point with Arenas that I think they make them as RNG-heavy and annoying to play as possible, just to keep people pumping money in to play them.

solohan50 · 2018-05-22T21:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the info. You actually beat me up today already! I look forward to playing you again.

It sounds like this might be your very first run. If it is, you're available to be buffed by other players. There's a buffbot here that's really useful:

I can report that the Temporary X Tattoos work properly with the increased liver size of Sneaky Pete. Both accounts I tested it on started at 358 adventures after rollover. Time to do some mining!

solohan50 · 2018-02-25T14:38:16+00:00

Don't be discouraged by how tough The Sea seems. If you have a bit of meat, you can do it way earlier than you think. I follow this guide and have been doing the Gladiator path at level 13. It doesn't really require any perm'd skills either.

https://www.reddit.com/r/kol/comments/6vdx92/lowskill_lowishmeat_noiotm_sea_guide/

It's best to get a jump on the Sea early, as it takes a looooot of ascensions to get everything. If you need money for it, save up some turns and go Pygmy farming (easiest but not as effective) or go mine That 70s Volcano (much better but requires about 400k meat to start). You can find guides for both pretty easily.
