  • Perhaps switch to a keyboard for the time being?

    I severely broke 3 fingers in my left hand half a year ago and was able to play Elder Scrolls games and Tux Kart surprisingly soon after the accident.

    Sufficient to be able to just move the flat hand left and right a bit and get the fingertips a few mm down to press a key.

    Being able to use a controller again took more than 2 months and wasn’t even fun then (did it mostly for the therapeutic training effect).








  • Must have been living during a different 2000s than you…

    Progress was crazy during the 00s.

    In 2000 we still had clunky stationary computing only, in most cases without or only with modem speed online access.
    Photography still was analog, music came on huge, physically fragile silver discs.
    By 2010, wireless always-on access had become ubiquitous, fully digitalized private life for most.

    Everything coming after 2010 feels like almost complete stagnation in comparison.

    Only exception: recent generative AI technology. And l am not sure if I am happy about that…
