AutoHotKey: if you're on windows like me (and starting to feel in the minority on here), this is a must. I've been evangelising AHK for the last 7 years at least, to anyone who will listen. It has saved me days of my life in accum

Use a clipboard manager. I wish I'd started this a lot earlier in life. The amount of times you need the second last thing you copied is surprising. I went through a few before I settled on Ditto, which works over remote desktop too.

My all time favourite is heroquest. I played that game (and it's counterpart, space crusade) to death in my youth, and then some more. Recently I've started making my own games for kicks, roughly based off the ruleset but with dif

Come to Ireland, we'd love to have you! 100% English speaking, culture very similar to UK, but our cities are not franchise laden cookie cutters of one another. Dublin is expensive but Cork, Galway, Sligo, Donegal, pretty much anywhere
