  1. It shares the gcfs, which hold all of the game's base content, but if you want to have all of your custom maps and configs and whatnot, you'll have to copy the "team fortress 2" folder from steamapps\youraccountname to steamapps\youraltaccountname . Unless you know how to create a symlink, in which case, do that instead.


  2. Seems like a good time to mention I've recently come across 35 pristine floppy disks with 1.44 MB of space each. What should I store on them?

    Can your computer actually read the disks? If so, you should store your passwords on them. Outdated tech is ultra-secure, just because no one has the hardware to read the information, and it seems like an unlikely place to store things anyways.

    it just shows the letters

    and furthermore, if opening the page format menu is F, you'd still have to do alt+f, control+f, alt+control+f, or something else in libreoffice

    we get it

    you're a casual who doesn't need high productivity

    even though we're talking about productivity programs

    I memorize keystrokes for specific actions that I use often, so I don't even need to touch the menus to get to them. It's only when I'm looking for commands I have not memorized that I prefer the old drop down menus, as it's easier to scan down a list to find something than to page through colorful icons. And my hand is going to be moving from typing positions regardless, to get to the arrow keys to browse through the lists or to go to a mouse, and my personal preference is the mouse. Any inefficiency created by moving my hand to my mouse as compared to the arrow keys is negligible.

  4. press alt

    I'm guessing that brings up the categories in newer versions of word. I do prefer to use my mouse for the menus, though, so alt would be an extra keystroke simply to accomplish the same functionality that I have right off the bat in LibreOffice.

  5. you actually think that throwing every single button into a massive clusterfuck of a toolbar is better than organizing them into logical categories easily accessed through keyboard shortcutsmacros, metadata and developer tools are much better in officeand templates

    I honestly don't use many advanced features in my word processing, as I find them superfluous to the only thing I use word for, which is typing essays, as I type my fiction in Google Docs and notes to myself/basic coding in Notepad++. However, I do enjoy having anything that I would need organized in drop-down menus with the keyboard shortcuts written next to the action, so I can more easily memorize keyboard shortcuts for things that I need to do a lot, and find obscure functions easily by reading down a list, rather than hunting a function down through a clusterfuck of icons organized in non-traditional categories.

  6. The GIMP is just flatout worse than Photoshop. Same with LibreOffice and MS Office 2010.

    Eh, personally, I'm perfectly willing to use

    student discounts

    to nab programs, but I actually prefer LibreOffice. The lack of ribbon interface is a real boon, it's easy to set up for MLA formatting, and it has any and all features required to write a paper. What more do you need in word processing software?
