@auspice I'm honestly shocked I remembered it, tbh!

I still miss it sometimes. It was my favorite of my initial trio of Pern games (Dragonsfire, Harpers Tale, and Starstones).

I was mostly a HT girl, SS was my side gig. I also played ... DD maybe? Dragons Dusk? Was that a place? But I couldn't begin to tell you who I played. Oh! They did a like, Bachelor-style mini plot. I was the girl who won.

There was a Dragons Dusk. I briefly played there.

I was on Harpers Tale for a long time. Dolphin Craft for years and years. Went back for a time later and had a bronzerider.

Zai (Zali) was a Dolphin Crafter before she Impressed. God, that was so many years ago.

I played Tadiera. I was Craftsecond ultimately before I faded off the game. A very very long time ago.

Man, Starstones. It's been a hot minute since that game.

Selina Kyle just opened. C'mon, you know you wanna play Catwoman.

The new butterfly keys are becoming infamous in how little grit it takes to mess them up something awful, so, yeah, Thanks Apple.

Yep. I think something got into this one and under the slip of ribbon with the contacts and fucked up something good. Because while cleaning one day (in the hopes I'd clear out whatever it was), I had about 30 seconds where it worked!!! and then it stopped again.

I have replaced the whole keycap assembly. I have spent 5-10 minutes on numerous occasions with tweezers, q-tip, canned air, etc., hunched over trying to find every goddamn particle that could be built up in there...

No dice.

It went from being finicky to taking a lot of effort to only working every so often to only working if I hit it at just the right angle with a lot of effort to... not at all.

@auspice Ugh. I'm sorry.

the joys of Macbooks. Mind, this seems to be an edge case. I can't find many examples of this particular issue. I'm really hoping compressed air fixes it and it is just a piece of dust or cat hair wedged in the contacts somewhere.

Else wise I'll just get a portable keyboard and hold out until I graduate. I've only got a few weeks left of hauling a backpack while walking and busing, so adding a bit more weight of a keyboard isn't a huge deal.

That site is great. I don't know what MacBook you have but replacing the keyboard is easy . They should have instructions if needed.

Oh no, this goes... beyond that.

I have cleaned the keycap / under it.
I have bought new and replaced the keycap.

It's something within the contacts for the key itself. Like I can remove another keycap and use something (fingernail, edge of tweezers, etc.) to press the contact and the key responds! The T key does not.

From all the research I've done, the entire keyboard assembly has to be replaced, which means...

What I'm looking at is:

I've only seen the GIF threads (this and GIF Uno) take a moment to load a page. Every other page seem to be loading without any issue.

You should start a thread. 'Wayward GIFs'
