Weeknote 37, 2024


Hello world!

It was my birthday this week! Turned 23, and had a nice dinner out with my family. A good, low key time.

I’ve been messing around with various stuff on my keyboard since switching to the ZSA Voyager last week. The main change I’ve done is trying out home row mods (moving Ctrl, Shift, Alt, & Meta from dedicated keys to instead trigger when holding down keys on the home row); not sure if I’m super happy with it just yet, probably need to tweak some of my timing values to help with misfires but time will tell of course! This does mean the introduction of a dedicated gaming layer to prevent accidentally triggering the modifiers during gameplay, but that’s not a problem (maybe I should take a look at the Azeron Cyborg gamepad). I have some alternative switches coming in tomorrow as well, so will be nice to compare their feel to the linear’s I’m currently using.

Baldur’s Gate 3 ate up most of my free time this week. I had previously completed the first act aaages ago close to when it first came out, and then dropped it due to reasons™️. Some friends convinced me to finally get back in and it’s been a blast. Finished up act 2 and just starting act 3 now, and I’m still excited to see what it can offer! It’s actually ended up eating into my sleep a little bit just because I lose track of time whilst playing it before bed. Definitely something I need to watch out for more.

And this week’s song is Mori Calliope - Go-Getters. YouTube Shorts fed me several clips with the song and now it’s stuck in my head!
