I wasn't really into computers until I bought a better mouse, that really got the ball rolling (only pre-millenial kids will understand this  ).
Not playing anything at the moment, and for good reason.
I can't game with moderation, so once I start I'll neglect my social life and duties outside work (I still go to work).
That was awesome when I was still in school, but then something called "adulthood" happened (not to be confused with "adultery") 
The last game I played and finished was Final Fantasy XV on PlayStation.
The last game I played and finished on PC was Planescape: Torment (and that was last year).
Since my computer isn't really up to par these days I switched to PlayStation gaming.
I'm currently looking forward to Horizon: Zero Dawn[^]

My faithful lappy is down two keys - up and left cursor - plus the 5 & 7 sometimes need an extra hard press; I guess they'll be gone soon. I have a number pad so I can use that for the cursor and just have to remember to really hit those 5 & 7's well. I do have an external keyboard and mouse for work so it' only weekend/evening faffing that gets hit.

I've actually never lost a key in my life 
And I've had this keyboard since somewhere in the 90's too 
Then again, I don't drink and type

A return to sanity?
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Wouldn't you have to be there at least once in order to return?

Nah, you just need space.

Maybe you didn't get the joke? Control, home and escape are all keys on the keyboard

I didn't get it either - mind you it is early here and I'm still only half way through my first coffee. For the record due to a late night red wine accident my keyboard at home now has several latching keys which only release after a random period of 1-5 seconds...

Just got an email, advertising HDD's.
And one caught my eye: Seagate BarraCuda and a picture of a 10TB HDD.
The price? £41.99 (or $52.12 at todays exchange rate) 
"I'll get four and upgrade the NAS!" I thought, quickly clicking on it.
No, no ... "from £41.99" it says.
That price gets you a 500GB. 10TB are £427.98 each. Elephant.
No thanks.
Grrr...I hate small print...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Small print on contracts is forbidden in Israel, not necessarily world-wide.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Of course - I'm from Israel  ...
And actually there is a law about small letters in printed advertising, but it is an absolute small (not smaller than 2 mm) and not a relative, so a designer still can hide some important info... (and this too, in Israel)

The big red flag IMO isn't the too-good-to-be-true price, it's the fact that it's a Seagate.
|
|
|
|

HGST or GTFO as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't trust Seagate to make copier paper.

No upvotes for Dilbert? Come on guys!
Mind you - I do have some sympathy for Dilberts current predicament, tomorrow I have a review of my 'Team Management Profile' followed by session 1 of the 'Leadership and Management Development Programme'.
What did I say wrong?

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
