I'll go ahead and say it. Predictive typing is as advanced as just throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.

The typo in "hour” is mine. The suggestion to complete the sentence with "horseshoe” is Microsoft Outlook’s.

Even worse, I have "Check spelling as you type” and “Check grammar as you type" both turned on.

Blood Typing is fun! For those who've enjoyed The Typing of the Dead, you've got your same sort of lo-fi stuff you'd expect from a demake, plenty of zombies (especially if you run up the timer), a bunch of inventory juggling, and schlock galore. And to quote a reviewer of a very different game, "Oh, piss and blimey, there's jam coming out of the walls."

The demo's a good half-hour to an hour, being the first chapter, and I don't expect the rest of it to be too spectacularly long, but the fun is always to beat your best score and try out other party compositions, so it might just be a good buy once we're inclined to buy something else.

Admittedly, later this week we will have monsters to hunt.

I'd have voted yes 🙂

Because writing is cursive.

Non-cursive is printing...

I used to have very neat, very fast, not quite cursive handwriting style. 🙂

But my English teacher in school forced me to write with loops and a right slant. This ruined my #handwriting. ☹

Using a keyboard is #typing. And I have used a typewriter!

Odd how we now talk about #writers and #writing when neither is really true! 🤔

P.S. I am actually writing ✍ a #book, and a very enjoyable a process it is too.

the fun thing about split keyboards is learning how even though i typed 100+ wpm, i was using weird key-finger distributions such as my right index finger to hit b??? yet, in a matter of 1 week (with a learning curve) my hands have already adapted to this split. muscle memory is fascinating! 🧐

Re: Discussions of "touch typing" or "ten finger typing"

I did learn it in school. I can do it properly, but I generally don't.

What I actually do is a modified version of the *proper* way that is more comfortable for me personally. I tend to minimize the use of my pinky fingers. I pretty much do type the home row of keys with the *proper* fingers—everything else is improvised in a way that works for me.

Does anyone here use an "exotic" keyboard layout like Dvorak, Coleman, Workman, etc? Looking for some advice on them.

Since I never learned proper touchtyping and my home brewed method averages around 40wpm, I've considered learning and using one*.

Idea was that, with a different layout, I wouldn't be able to rely on keyboard labels anymore and that would force me to type properly. Goals are being able to type while only looking at the screen and working back up to my WPM score I have now.

*leaning towards Workman or Coleman atm
