I dont think I can game on a 34 key keyboard, but im in love with this thing for typing/coding. Im actually thinking of replacing the UHKv2 for something of a similar size that is ortholinear, as well. The learning curve for a new configuration is not that bad as long as you stick to the same layout.

Comment on My 3D printed Catan upgrade set is now live in ~games.tabletop

However, I...as someone who just finished printing another 3d catan set, it looks good mechanically, the interlocking bases look nice, and the peice holders and overall box are really, really nice. However, I honestly cant say its nicer than a number of other free sets out there. My main complaint with this set would be the highly symbolic terrain, compared to the really pretty terrain in the set I printed. (even without multicolour printing, that set still looks gorgeous, and there are interlocking, magnet less bases for that set, like these or these)
Even without the price difference, I just cant see myself choosing your set over some of the competition out there, sorry. While its got a ton of nice utility features, the aesthetics just arent there.

Working on a set of blueprints for a modular, block based base with full roboport construction coverage, using trains to transport things between subfactories. The idea is that I can really easily place down new blueprints and have hooking it up to the rest of the base be a less painful experience.

I think this regulation, with the exceptions given, is a good thing for the software world, but im curious to see other tildes users opinions.

The joker was pretty straightforward once I realized it was always advantageous to add the joker to the card you already have the most of.

Day 5 part 1 was straightforward, though kinda tedious to implement. Part 2 actually took me till the next day before I came up with a solution, but I ended up with a 1.2 ms solve for both parts! Parsing is probably taking more time than the math is!
