This is more true than I think we give it credit. Being able to type quickly and effectively in multiplayer games before everyone just yelled into a mic was important.

I bought D2R on switch when it came out but never played it, now I'm playing through my first run and going, "this game is punishing, how the gently caress was I typing sentences while playing this?"

Find someone who keeps chickens and they'll usually be happy to offload eggs for free. Might get some weird poo poo (usually just blood) unless you/they candle them but hey, free eggs. Freggs.

Here's the trick: you tell them that as soon as they type 60WPM, they can have their first phone/tablet.

I learned to type faster because of irc and icq, and multiplayer games too I guess.

This is why Tribes had the best chat option, as it was a bunch of nested menus, so you could hit V and then quickly run through menus. So something like V,1,1 was "Hi" and your character would do a wave.

I still remember almost all of them, if not by specific buttons then by muscle memory. V-G-S especially.

gg everybody but can we wrap up”how I learned typing” chat plz

I feel like riding a bicycle in urban settings is something that has gotten significantly worse over the last few years. Drivers seem way more aggressive/vindictive since the pandemic, if they’re even looking at the road instead of their phone. And nobody checks their corners anymore cause Google maps said to turn right so why even look. And god forbid you tell someone that you commute by bike; they can’t wait to tell you about that one time somebody on a bike didn’t even stop at the stop sign (so why should they have to either :smug: ) or about how somebody they knew one time got hit/killed while riding a bike, etc. car culture loving suuuuuuucks
