Starting on Thursday the 14th Epic will give two games for free during a week or so:
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (Action rollgame)
- The bridge (Strambotic puzzles)
I do not know you... but I will give them a try 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Last game I played was the original Myst.
Bridge looks interesting I may try.
Thanks for the heads up!

Shall this be read as : you haven't played in the last two decades, or have you reopened Myst lately ?

Probably the former.

Myst was released in 1993. Thank you for reminding me that I'm an old codger.

That's funny, because I wikipedied it after my writing my post and realized exactly the same thing (but did not bother to change my posts)

The Bridge sounds kinda like some of the "games" my kid prompted me to play -- e.g. The Witness -- which were not really to my liking, but I'll let him know.

It was presented to me as a true quote from a teenager; I don't know if it is true: "I can't reach all the keys of this keyboard with my thumbs!"

I didn't see you there before I posted. Sorry about that. I found it in a comic strip.

How I knew I was OLD
As a hospital Pharmacist we use Calculators to do Pharmacokinetics dosing values
This was before I had hand held devices like a Palm Pilot
I had a young pharmacy intern and handed her the calculator and said calculate a dose
When she used the calculator with a furry just typing with her thumbs
I knew I was old
When I asked why do you use your thumbs She replied
I learned to do that with my Flip Phone

Wait until they find out there's also a mouse that can be used.

How quaint. 
I've always thought it's unfortunate that the scene could've been so much more realistic if Scotty had at least struggled a bit at first to figure out whatever application that was. Unless Starfleet is still using that same program, same version, on an Apple II, and Scotty's already familiar with it...?
But hey, since when does Hollywood make realistic use of computers?

A small incident regarding this from my junior developer days, in the late nineties:
Our team had developed a Windows application, but somehow the screen used to vanish when ESC was pressed. Our manager came for a hands-on demo session, and we kept praying that his fingers should not go to the ESC button. Luckily this ESC was far away, and the demo went well, and our team escaped from an ESC button fiasco. Later our team fixed the issue.

I might've been tempted to pop off the key cap.

This person doesn't have elbows?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

not really to get all religious. But this did bring to mind a proverb. something about the sluggard has food in his hand but is too lazy to bring it up to his mouth.
Wow just wow. Some people.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

A quick Google shows that this statement seems connected to vim and may therefore be ignored by all right-thinking people.

How about left-thinking people???

I almost fell of my chair when I read the comment from the OP asking for help in typing faster in the referenced post - Suggestions in text area[^]
So the solution given was -
Quote: Press ESC and it will ignore all it's suggestions - then you can press TAB without an insert.
Or you can disable Intellisense in "Tools ... Options .... Text Editor ... Your prefered language ... Intellisense ... Show completion list after a character is typed"
The comment received back was -
Quote: u know i wanna type fast but the esc bottom is far away from my fingers any better idea for that?
