@Leucrotta Awwww, but it's so pretty!

Splatoon 1 utterly consumed me for months. I was consistently ranked B+ and I was sheer terror with a Luna Blaster.

Splatoon 2 passed me by, as I didn't have a Switch yet, and it seems a little late to jump in now because....

Splatoon 3 drops on the ninth of September. The Luna Blaster mayhem shall resume!

Oh! They didn't delete the account! They removed the username so I have to use my email address to log in now. (The login form still calls it a username.)

They are still assholes.

The correct response to "please unsub me from marketing e-mail" is not to delete the account.

I'd tell Express Scripts that but without a proper login the only contact method is via phone.

They are assholes.

Well, not exactly modified, but I did find a way to clear up the wonky mouse-wheel problem.

...by blowing into it like a damn NES cartridge. (Seriously, never do that. It's how you get corroding contacts.) Yeah, it seems that this eight-zillion DPI tournament-ready Elite Gamer Mouse will respond with lightning-fast accuracy and dominate the competition as long as there's no dust. It has allergies.

I'm sure it's improved my reaction time in Adobe InDesign, and I'm crushing nonograms like never before.

@IceWolf This has onboard memory, but it's way less configurable than having the software running. *shrug*

I had a nice little Kensington mouse that was comfy, had two thumb-buttons, had a good scroll wheel, and survived at least a decade of heavy use. It was boring and reliable. I only stopped using it because the primary button finally became unreliable through wear.

I replaced it with the only wired two-extra-thumb-buttons mouse I could find, a fancy-ass Corsair "Dark Core RGB Pro SE". It's somewhat uncomfortable (for my kind of grip). It installs some system service that swells to well over a gigabyte of RAM. Within half a year, the scroll wheel has developed an amusing issue where each tick of the scroll wheel will sometimes scroll in the opposite direction, anywhere from once in a while to nearly half the time.

But you know, at least all the lights are controllable! Except the super bright green one right on top.

I really want my boring mouse back.

@zx3 You said it, pro'.

@Owlor Very nifty! Kudos for getting "messy" in a bitmap grid – oddly enough, that's super hard for me to do.

It's bad enough that they stopped carrying weed from one of the few minority-owned farms in Seattle. Now they have one of those accursed "ring" people-trackers at the door and they told me to take my mask off and stare at it before being let in. I am not going back to that shop.

Dockside Cannabis in Shoreline, WA, by the way.

@Owlor I encourage it!

Also, I may as well show off. *grin*

All right, it's not exactly a lie, but it invites the question, "Valued at what?" I know it's non-zero, since their website doesn't let me turn off advertising emails (savings opportunities!) and it shows ads for Experian credit monitoring so I'm worth at least some ad revenue.

<sarcasm> Gee, if they're having to erode customer trust just to get some extra cash on the side, the health insurance industry but be really struggling to stay profitable. </sarcasm>

My "health" insurance provider knows my name, so when they send me an e-mail that starts with "Dear Valued Customer," I know they are lying.

@xinjinmeng @Owlor I've used FontForge for several projects. Symbol and "alien" fonts for puzzle events, fonts to simulate old dot-matrix type, Cleaning up FontStruct exports, especially since (unless they've fixed it in the last half-year) the way FontStruct chooses vertical metrics is kinda crap. Also, I once used it to replace the titling numerals in a font with its existing-in-the-same-font-but-utterly-unused "old-style" set. (Roboto Serif, for the Rainfurrest cyberpunk-themed year.) Your description of the software is spot-on! As in, it's unstable enough that I have to draw everything in a different program then import it, 'cause drawing in FontForge (Windows build) is a guaranteed crash.

I used Calligraphr (or similar?) once forever ago and I've used the results in a couple projects, but I've made some changes to how I write, so it might be worth another go....
