  • I started a Minecraft modpack called “Raspberry Flavoured”. It stood out to me because it boldly reworks many vanilla mechanics, while focusing on keeping a mostly vanilla playstyle. Villagers, the end, XP and enchanting, all completely removed. It reworks early game progression to use copper in place of stone, and copper has now become one of the most useful resources. It does have Create, so late game looks like it’ll be heavy on automation. The recipes are changed so early game still has mining, chopping and smelting. But it’s a breath of fresh air so far and the mods are incredibly well integrated!


  • I’m surprised by the love here for the number pad! I saw mainly benefits for getting a 60 or 65% when I was considering a keyboard kit:

    • More space for moving my mouse to the left. I play FPS games with a pretty low sensitivity, and I used to flick my thumb into my keyboard.
    • More portable. My keyboard can connect with Bluetooth or usb-c so it’s nice to be able to use with a tablet
    • Less switches to lube and install when I assembled it
    • No redundant keys, though I had to learn traditionally typing numbers. But now I don’t have to move my hand position to type them.

    I do prefer vim for text editing, so I have less use for some of the special keys. But they’re still nice to have for shortcuts or keybinds.
