I see A LOT of 60% keyboards
and I do think they're dumb
worse are the ones where they remove the number row completely, and make them sub-functions of qwerty
and then 50% keyboards aren't meant to be used, they're just aesthetic
but no, I think I see more 60%'s now than I see full-sized
it's honestly TKL > 60 > Full > everything else
based on what people are buying
I think those people go for 60%s, you get WAAAAYYY more styles to choose from
and if you want function keys, you probably want a TLK or full anyway
65 and 75 are just sorta middlegrounds
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think you're missing the part where this is on Steam, so normal non-autists will be playing TF2 again for a couple weeks
I was wrong
I was killed by someone I used to play against 15 years ago
that or his son has inherited his username

that was the spiritual remake of that old MMO right
this is a funny last update, from Thursday this last week
As someone who follows a fair number of these old-school MMO projects
they all have this issue that they have enough money for their team to fuck around; seemingly forever
but as soon as they "launch" they immediately put themselves on this money timer where they're always 1-month from shutting down if they don't hit some absurd revenue goal
That's proven wrong by every gacha ever though
the issue isn't getting players into a new game, it's having the right mix of launch content, consistent updates, and the general sandbox to keep anyone invested
Most of these MMOs are privately funded by people with too much money pre-launch
but then when they're pushed out of the nest to survive on their own, they can't help but crash and burn because they're either developed by Koreans or graybeards (who are equally out-of-touch in their own ways)

The only old-school MMO project I've looked at at all is Erenshor :p
I'm not exactly sure what happened
I might still be in the call?
I can hear Polu saying cute and funny
Over and over again

Bloomberg sucks for how their URLs and paywalls work
but once you get past this being a pretentious Jason Schreier article, there's some good info in it
tldr; Obsidian Games is fucked

Unironically, this was Blizzard's big announcement
also, they have officially given up being creative
The new hero is literally named "jetpack cat"
