A subtitle editor.
It’s quite capable.

https://github.com/philbot9/youtube-comment-scraper/
Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
- WARNING – Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned. The authors’ GUI website did.

See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

Steam: Disgaea PC
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380520/

https://www.nisamerica.com/games/disgaea-1-complete
A tactics game so good it’s worth buying a PlayStation 2 for. It got released on Steam so it’s a game so good it’s worth buying a PC for. :)
- Properly titled Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
- Disgaea guide
- My notes began for the PlayStation 2 version but have been checked and updated for the Steam version.

I used to use a macro with my Mayflash PS2 Controller Programmable Convertor and now use AutoHotkey.

https://github.com/gottcode/focuswriter
https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/
A beautified text editor with the widgets around the edges removed (“distraction-free”).
I started using it because I couldn’t trivially get Geany spell checking working. Once I did get it working I stopped.
Although I’ve used this on Linux a bit, it merely idles in my Windows kit.

A host of features to manage processes, such as changing CPU priority. It has lots of automated magic for system happiness. I use it for its control of the CPU’s power profile, making this the equivalent of Linux‘s cpufrequtils.
Highly recommended.

was pushtotalk.nu
Implements push-to-talk functionality directly on an audio input device.
It toggles the audio device’s mute. Used as a global push-to-talk when a program does not support such a feature, such as with a web browser that does not currently have focus.
