👋 Hey Radek! I suggest focusing at first on _just_ typing English. Through that, you'll still naturally end up using your navigation layer (for arrows, backspace, enter, etc.). You'll also probably still type the occasional symbol or number, but it won't be so overwhelming due to how infrequent most of those characters are when typing primarily just English. After a few days (or just whenever you get bored) of doing that, I think it's a good idea to keep your keymap open on one monitor (or on ¼ of the screen or something) and consult it as you start to code or type less common symbols. Whenever you find that you need to look at your keymap, delete the entire line you wrote and retype it _without_ consulting the keymap, that way you get practice at the real-world scenarios that you're struggling with. Throughout all of this, keep an eye out for whenever you find yourself wanting different/easier functionality out of your keyboard. E.g. I frequently select text, copy it, go to Chrome, open a new tab, paste it, then press enter. All of that is inside my navigation layer: shift, the arrow keys, ⌘C, ⌥1, ⌘T, ⌘V, and enter. This way, I can just hold my right thumb down the entire time and not "dance" between layers (which would slow me down or increase the risk of making typos). Similarly, you may find yourself getting annoyed by how you have modifiers laid out. You can try home-row mods, one-shot mods, combos, or any other QMK features to find what works best for you. Hope some of that helps, and I hope you really like your keyboard once you've gotten used to it! 🤞😁

@AdamLearns thanks for the tips. I really like this keyboard and have already optimised some layers (also looking at your mappings). BTW, did you release your course on "organisation"? Thanks again. :)

@@RadekG sure thing! 😁 And no , I haven't done too much work on the course yet. I will _probably_ try to pursue it in 2025, but I want to make sure I've finished Skeleseller first.

Thank _you_ for watching! 😁

Thank you! I actually _have_ checked out Miryoku, and I feel like that's what led to the keymap that I have now. I liked the idea that you would press a thumb key on one hand to enable a bunch of functionality on the other. However, my muscle memory didn't allow that to work smoothly with all of my layers, and I also wanted to jam as much functionality as possible into them anyway, so I ended up doing my own thing. Hope you're liking your Corne! 😁

Hey, thank you for watching, subbing, and providing your input! 🙏 I've always archived all of my VODs even since the Bot Land days. IIRC, the reason I wanted to leave them unlisted is because they pollute the list of videos. My original plan was to house them all in public playlists, that way everyone could still access them, but they'd be collapsed into a single entry rather than hundreds. Since then, I learned a couple of things: - The subscription feed isn't as big an interaction point for viewers as I originally thought - Streams that started on RUclips go to their own "Live" section (as opposed to streams that started on Twitch, which look like any other video) ...so now they're all just public here on RUclips. Anyway, long-winded way of explaining to never fear, the streams will stay here! 😛

You could certainly do something like that with a keyboard like this, but keep in mind that it'll only be a single key once you've moved to a particular layer. E.g. I have a key that sends ⌘K, but it's still two keystrokes for me to get to it since it's in my navigation layer, and entering that layer requires that I use one of my thumb keys.

Hey, thank you for playing! 😁 It is indeed possible to beat the final location, including with only a single adventurer since the balance needs a lot of work... There's no way to add more than 9 skill points to an adventurer without cheating right now (you can modify you save file if you want, at least for now). However, in v0.4, the skills will be completely revamped: each adventurer will have seven choices rather than 4, the max levels of each will be lower (so that each point is more impactful), and the choices won't all be unlocked at the very beginning of the game. The tentative date I'm aiming for with v0.4 is November 22nd, and it'll have more changes than just the new skill trees.

Nice to hear that it resonated with you, and thanks for watching! What have you transitioned to since Bitstamp?

😂 That's pretty funny! This is a video about writing a chat bot for RUclips. I don't know if there's an automated way to _report_ bots to RUclips, but you can click the three dots next to any comment and choose "Report", then probably pick "Spam or misleading".

Someone mentioned something about "Godot woke drama" the other day, but I never looked into it more. What's going on?

It's free right now while it's in alpha, but it'll cost money when I launch the final version. 😢 I've been treating this as my full-time job since April, and it'll still take many more months to complete. Plus, there are three other people working on it. I'm not saying this as a knee-jerk reaction to your comment, btw! I just think the state of the gaming industry is a bit absurd right now when it comes to the economics of creating games, especially in relation to what typical software developers make.

@@AdamLearns i still have like 95 cents on steam... maybe you can make it one euro or such? maybe even 3?

@@alexanderlattanziredmond4506 you know what? How about this: you leave another comment on this thread after the game launches and I'll give you a copy for free. I don't want people to struggle to afford the game, but I also can't make it free for everyone.

Thank you very much! 🙏

I hope it helps! I myself still use RUclips quite a lot, but I'm watching videos that I ostensibly _want_ to watch rather than ones that the feed thinks I should. In other words, it helps me with being more intentional. (I'm probably repeating some of what I said in the video, but I didn't rewatch it before leaving this comment 👀)

_chanting_ DO IT! DO IT! Seriously though, I see a lot of people in the same general position because of the tech bubble in this area-they've been working since they got out of school, and at some point, career progression stops mattering as much as happiness to them, so they start considering their options. For some people, that just means focusing on work-life balance. For others, it means a job/career shift. I myself have always wanted to create a bunch of stuff and find it difficult to spend the required energy for that when a traditional full-time job is in the mix. I feel like I would regret it if I didn't try pursuing these creative endeavors. I suspect you're somewhat similar given what I know about your journey, so I wish you luck in figuring all of this out! 💪 P.S. nice to see you here, and thanks for subscribing over on Twitch the other day!

​@AdamLearns 100%. those years streaming were incredibly fulfilling. financial stress was rough but even still i loved it. full of great memories and real personal growth. Also agree about managing energy. I can't just do something on the side... I tried and that lead to burn out. It's just a question of when I pull the trigger again..

The time it takes to make any game really depends on your experience and the scope of the game. You can probably slap together some assets and get a generic FPS multiplayer game going in Unreal pretty quickly if you're experienced. If you're inexperienced, it's probably easier to mod an existing game to test out your ideas. As for the dream game, I think that once you've completed 2-3 games, you'll have a much better idea of what you're able to tackle. With that said, your dream game may be to make the next World of Warcraft, which isn't really something a single person can do. If you haven't already, I suggested downloading a game engine like Godot or Unreal and trying out the basics. Get a character moving around, make a level, and test things out!

That’s what I was thinking. Layers and shortcuts could quickly make this a nightmare to use.

(sorry for the delayed response; was on vacation) Yeah, gaming is definitely _possible_ on smaller keyboards, but I found that some games were just too difficult to play. I'm using a Colemak layout, so I would either need to rebind all of the keys (WASD is obnoxious in Colemak! 😅) or switch back to QWERTY just for gaming, at which point chatting or browsing while gaming would be a little bit harder. It's great that it's working for you with the games you play, that way you don't need a second keyboard.

Sorry to hear about your experience with low-profile switches. 😢 At least the Corne has the option for both kinds of switches! My case was designed/produced by devildogdotgames; feel free to reach out to him if you want to get a similar one.

I did really enjoy using it, but I've switched to tracking my tasks more publicly using GitHub projects. That way has a few benefits: - It's an easy for people to see what I'm working on and what's coming up even if they're not on the project. - If someone _is_ on the project, then I can easily share tasks/context. - It provides tracking for everything (e.g. linking a PR to a bug).

​@@AdamLearns makes sense. Do you also use GitHub for tracking personal task lists? BTW, thanks a lot for the RUclips videos, Adam. You're a very mindful person, and hearing about how you approach personal improvement really gives me a lot to think.

Oh, cool, I didn't know about that. Is this automation intended as a way to decrease the difficulty of the game, or do even the top players use the feature?

@@AdamLearns That is the intended way of lowering the difficulty for players of a lower skill level (not always though!), but such modifiers are _unranked_, so they are just either for fun or practice. Hard to tell if the top players still use it, as these are unranked modifiers, but sometimes you would just want to play one side of the game when bored (either moving the cursor or tapping)

@@DarkStoorM_ Ahh, gotcha. That definitely counts as automation in games! I was mostly thinking about games where _all_ players are expected to interact with the automation (not that I made this clear in the video). Still, it's cool to have other examples!
