@Chinatown88 Never fall down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole. I saw a group buy open and ordered this as a Spacebar, so now I'm building her an entirely new board around it.

You know it's hard out here for a nerd,
When you're trying to not spend your money on nerd stuff.

Edit: @JojoTheWhale rereading your post, this is for the lovely lady? Dang that's some nerd love right there. Building a custom mechanical keyboard for her.

She deserves it. She has a Ducky Shine Year of the Dragon that she loves, but now has two PCs.

Ordinarily I would check the second-hand market first, but it’s become completely absurd for the limited run stuff. There was one in particular I wanted that I balked at paying $550 for a few years ago that now sells for ~$2500 when you can find one. Oops!

I would so love to design a custom keyboard. First thing I would do? Eliminate the Caps Lock key. I have to wait for the afterlife to murder the bastard who invented it.

But then there's num lock. The real scum of this Earth is whoever decided to default num lock to off whenever your laptop fall asleep. So f***ing annoying

@Chinatown88 have you found an updated practice schedule to use for building player attributes? The one I used from a long time ago didn't really work well the last time I played. I'm not even sure I will play this out - I just wanted to ragetrade for a minute, really.

I haven't really found anything good. I've been winging it. Doing some GoogleFu right now.

The Official TBL Practice Thread - EHM The Blue Line

Reading this thread and I'm losted. There's a place to set intensity for practice? I've been doing things wrong for 200 plus hours???

Edit: Holy shit I just found the intensity. I've been doing things wrong this whole time...

I got deep into that, but there was a plan you could follow, so it was super easy. It's hard to say how much it helped, but it couldn't have hurt. But then the last time I played it was pretty clear that it didn't work.

Apparently I'm terrible for not finding how to set the intensity of practice for the 200+ hours I played the game. Now I find out I can retrain a position too?!

For the two years on this new game I started I just have rotate through each thing for two days and it seems to be working decently. Then again my roster is loaded soo idk.

There's no comparison whatsoever in the mischief caused by Caps Lock and Numbers Lock. Caps Lock is right ****ing there in the middle of everything. It's the Devil.

That re-training position was never worth it for me. By the time you tank enough times, you have way more great players at every position than you could ever use.

The practice thing is nothing to be ashamed about. It's not the kind of thing you would obviously think of without being a complete obsessive.
