Spiele dumme Spiele, gewinne dumme Preise.

Muss allerdings sagen, das Twitler für mich auch vor Musk schon komplett wertloser Trash war. In letzter Zeit wurde der Regler nur auf 11 hoch gedreht.@Der_aus_Aux

I suppose it depends on how easy of a time you have mentally switching back and forth between layouts. I do manage somewhat okay when leisurely typing on my Chromebook's ISO layout keyboard. (as I am doing right now)

But when I'm in a hurry or otherwise under a lot of mental load then all of the special characters being in different places than I've come to expect from using ANSI for work and at the PC... kinda sucks, not going to lie.

I did keep my ISO Logitech MX Keys just in case but don't really see myself buying anything but ANSI layout devices from here on out.
Have to say though I would love to have a bigger that 1u right Alt key though because of all the EurKey shortcuts for äöü߀.

Ich fahre mit dem Fahrrad auf Radwegen (geteilt oder gemeinsam) aber generell eher nicht auf Gehwegen, selbst wenn es "Radfahrer frei" heißt. Kommt auf den Weg selbst (Breite, Umgebung, alternative Routen) mehr an als auf die Beschilderung, aber grundsätzlich am liebsten so.

Wenn ich nun mit dem Rad auf Fußgänger zu komme (egal ob von vorne oder hinten) und nicht erkenne, dass sie mich bereits bemerkt haben, dann mache ich in ausreichender Entfernung einen kurzen "Ping" mit der Klingel, um meine Anwesenheit anzumelden und dass ich in ein paar Sekunden genau auf ihrer Höhe sein werde. Nicht "Ringringringring", sondern "Ping" und gut.
Es checken sicherlich nicht alle Fußgänger, dass ich sie damit NICHT "aus dem Weg klingele" - was ich manchmal tatsächlich machen muss bei volltändig fehlender situational awareness. Aber das merkst du definitiv weil es deutlich mehr als nur ein kurzes Ping ist - aber alles in allem stelle ich nur selten fest, dass es irgendwelche entrüsteten Reaktionen gibt.

Ich selbst ärgere mich immer ein wenig, wenn an mir als Fußgänger ein Radfahrer vorbeifetzt, ohne sich vorher bemerkbar zu machen und rufe dann auch gern mal "hast die paar Gramm für die Klingel sparen müssen, oder??" hinterher. :D

Insofern Reziprozitätsprinzip; ich klingele, damit ich bemerkt werde, weil ich es mir so auch von anderen Radfahrern wünsche.

Another German software dev here, I switched from ISO-DE to ANSI with EurKey a couple months ago. Not on a Keychron but on a NuPhy which looks and feels better to me.

Overall I'm quite happy with the switch and will only buy ANSI layouts going forward.@Waldhuette

Oha, die Nazis sind Nazis? Na sowas.

What a lovely read. Very reminiscent of Doctorow's style and tone and I'm here for it.

Let's hope you end up completely and utterly wrong though. (I don't think you will.)

So, I really hate taking a laptop into meeting rooms so unless I know I'll have to share my screen I (used to) take an A4 sized paper notebook and a pen to jot down notes.

Recently I upgraded to a ReMarkable 2 which, while certainly not inexpensive, has so been worth it for me.

I do type pretty efficiently on one of my mechanical keyboards, but putting my thoughts into handwriting is a different experience entirely and I always want to retain this option especially for personal one-on-ones.

No, never been. I just looked whether there are any in the wider region but looks like only bigger cities have any, so an hour by car minimum.
I don't even have any LGS though, so a BGC would have positively surprised me.

I think I would like to visit a really nice one at some point just to try the experience. On the whole I prefer to play my own games - and to buy the games I prefer to play, needless to say - but going to a café with a nice small group and seeing what games they have could be neat.

Angela is great! Love her passion and how she phrases things.
Sure the videos could usually be half as long without losing much in the way of her argument but I enjoy her personality so I don't mind.

I've enjoyed both On Mars and Weather Machine more than Lisboa although the latter is always lauded as Lacerda's masterpiece. I really dig the complexity of his designs although it makes the games harder to explain to players who prefer lighter fare.

Neat! Looks like a fully baked version of the quick&dirty userstyle I had been throwing together for my own usage throughout the last couple of days.

Very happy to retire mine in favor of yours! :D

It's a game in the Scythe setting, exactly. I got the Ironclad edition with metal mech minis and I'm looking forward to getting those in my fingers.

The gameplay is pretty different though. I think only the scoring is based on the achievement stars from Scythe but that's about it :)
