Yes, but is it unreasonable or illogical?

YES! I KEPT GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE OF THAT!

Ooh, I've been meaning to reread a Christmas Carol for the holidays anyway, and this sounds neat.

Any reasonable person knows a lot of what you said is subjective.

hhhhm^m^m^m^m^m I wonder what her nickname was in school, university, and everywhere else

Gotta get those retorts in quick.

that is so typist of you!

It's a really bad practice though. I mean, it was bad practice then, and it is worse practice now. Unless you are typing with a 1930's typewriter, and even then it was a subject of debate among typographers. European press hated it. Graphic designers have always been against it as well. It fucks up legibility, creates rivers, looks ugly and makes parsing text harder for computers. Essentially it's exclusively an US stubbornness thing. Just like people adding vertical space with newlines, it's a holdover from worse times.

A little motivation always helps

Hunter S. Thompson honed his craft early on by doing this, I believe with the books The Great Gatsby and A Farewell to Arms. His rationale was that he wanted to know how it felt to write masterworks like that

Serious question. I've always been a bit intrigued by streaming but I'm not someone who likes to have to interact with people when playing. I play a lot of one player games and I feel like if I have to interact, it'll take me out of the story driven game. Does every streamer interact?

Thank you❤️

It comes off as an attempt at a joke at their expense. Not a very good joke to begin with, but once it gives a negative vibe... Pffbt.

This could easily derail my whole life. I love typing. Limited myself to just one page. 68 wpm and 96% accuracy. Not too shabby. I think this would be really calming and meditative.

Back in the day, we played MMOs. If you couldn't type fast, in battle, you either died or couldn't communicate.

This is so cool! My first suggested album was Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, which is definitely not one I would have chosen to list to, given my own devices.

Macros is a great way to put it. That’s exactly how I feel about it, they aren’t individual letters anymore, they’re a macro to put a word on screen and it’s just easier for your brain to process it that way.

There's an option in Nobody.live to also view one viewer streams just for that reason 🙂

Oh hey I made this ☺️ So glad to see people enjoying this ❤️️

I still have my keyboarding book telling us to do it that way. Haha, 40 years from now I will still show it to people. It's so much more fun to hit it twice!

It seems to me that the process of typing, rapidly reproducing words as your looking at them, is not conducive to understanding the text and absorbing the underlying message or even the story.

I tried out the settings and nothing seems to accommodate two spaces after a sentence. I'd be ok taking a hit to the accuracy if there was a setting that didn't blow everything up after that. But even ignoring punctuation or stopping after an error doesn't line up it right.
