  6. This #aggro #tempo #Hearthstone #meta makes me want to #puke.

    For several #expansions now it has been nothing but aggro tempo, over and over. By turn 7 or turn 8 you are already dead, sometimes even turn 6. #Brainless in my eyes.

    Every other #CCG out there manages to build a #healthy meta, only the one with the biggest #budget and the most #resources keeps failing at it. #Pathetic. How is a game this #popular and this #funded still stuck in the same boring #curve every single set? Give me #control, give me #combo, give me some actual #decisions.

  7. CW: Dual Monitor Tools, Hearthstone, Windows, long (~1600 chars)

    Ran into a bit of an annoyance with my #DualMonitor setup while playing #HearthStone; specifically #HearthstoneBattlegrounds.
    I couldn't throw my cards up and down as easily to put them into play or buy/sell them, as the cursor would hit the monitor border, and thus the game would think I was still holding the card.

    So, I first tried switching my screen layout, so #Windows would think my monitors were positioned side-by-side rather than above each other.
    While this worked while playing the game, it just didn't click with my brain, and I kept trying to move between screens across the wrong borders. I needed something to lock my mouse pointer onto the game screen at will.

    Enter stage: #DualMonitorTools. With Dual Monitor Tools I was able to set a key that would either lock the cursor to the current monitor, or enable 'sticky' screens.
    I ended up going for the latter option, so that when I have #ScrollLock enabled now, I need to overcome a certain level of friction at the monitor edge to cross it to the other screen. I.e. I have to move up against the edge for several seconds before it moves onto the other screen.

    It has a couple of other features, such as removing dead spaces when your monitor resolutions don't match, but apart from that one I don't really use any others.

    Still have to tweak the stickiness threshold a bit, but so far I'm pretty satisfied with this piece of #free as in #gratis as well as #libre #software. Even though changing the sticky key settings seem to require a restart of the programme...
