actually slightly rearranged now. I moved the mount for the keyboard platform to the left side and moved the stick mount to the right (it used to be in the middle, as in an A-10, which is what that particular throttle and stick are modeled on, but i got sick of mounting the stick and taking it out, decided having the mouse side of the tray being a little wobby was acceptable compromise)

the computer itself is also currently on its side, as I try to work some really stubborn air bubbles out of the cooling loop

raptop: loved those growing up, so much fun. but i won't give a penny to GoG. They lied for a full decade about making a linux client, then said they're never making one not even 2 years ago
<Althego>
i still rather pay them than steam, at least what i have from gog are independent from the company, even if the company failes, my games would work
<SporkWitch>
a fair point, but i feel like Valve, of any company these days, does the best of ballancing that knife edge of consumer vs devs vs shareholders
<Althego>
if things continue like this gog goes bankrupt
<SporkWitch>
we can hope, but people are dumb. I run what was THE ark discord; we've been around for a couple years before the devs made their own. The WORST time was when epic threw money at the ARK devs to give away free copies. It's the PC version, sure, but because EGS is complete garbage, so was the support. "why can't i join?!" because you didn't buy the game, you just downloaded EGS.
<SporkWitch>
That's what they do; EGS NOW is worse than Steam was when it was originally released. EGS now is exactly the SAME as EGS was when it was launched. Instead of actually fixing it or trying to compete, they just bribe indie devs for exclusivity, and buy keys to give away. Then those same players find the game isn't only on EGS, and cry because they can't play, because they have a broken version
<Althego>
yes, they grow because of the giveaways
<Althego>
and i am just as not interested in them as in steam
<SporkWitch>
GoG's done similar, but instead of bribes, they just market as being consumer-friendly, and especially as not being Microsoft's [female dog], but again, they've been making pro-FOSS noises for years, and only move against it. Remember when they didn't ALLOW DRM on their store? now everything is windows-only and always-on DRM
<Althego>
yes that was a jerk move
<SporkWitch>
see? steam i trust. they're pure profit. they don't play the political and social games, if it sells, they allow it. And that's why they have no mandatory DRM, allow more variety than any others, content others won't alloow. They're what a company should be: trully ambivalent. Make it, if you can sell it, do it.

sorry, i ramble, and i'm going to call it a night before i drive even you to ban me lol
