    I feel pretty good for disliking AHK instintively. The way I think is, no JS is not assembly but then it's an actual language and... why not just use it instead of learn umpteem more things.

    But plenty of people have a LOT of success with it here, it' sjust not for me and I'm glad to be in such heady company as @Kadauchi and @ChrisTurk even though I'm far lazier than both.

    AHK is a mess and it's an albatross and it's complex and it's on top of things and I don't like any of that.

    AHK is a quick fix for needing to do things outside of the browser's control. i.e, being able to have hotkey for particular important windows that may be floating around anywhere in your menagerie of virtual desktops.

    I can't tell you how many times I've considered just uploading VRAPIs in my queue back out to the general population at 1/10th the price & a lower time.

    This was back when they were $5-8/ea though.. which I guess given the current prices really proved how effective that business model could have been :(

    I've gotten to a bad place where every time a hit drops I refuse to do it without scripting it to the point where it's as easy as possible. Then I make 1$ from the drop and it never drops again. Or when it drops again it's different lmao.

    I am trapped in the void.
