Alt-slipping
Can someone explain alt-slips to me?
Like, using a computer you use a different browser.
Pros:Clicks button and don't have to log in
Visible difference to tell you're on the right account to post
Cons: Nothing
Phone: use a private tab instead of regular tab for a visible difference
Pros: Quick tap and you're on the right account
Cons: Nothing
and just like, in a game.
How do you not go to your subscriptions/or ego search
and bloody realize
you can't find the thread
so you go find it on your main, and then write a post.
It just baffles me.Shoutout to PJ and Nahdia for making my amazing new avi :)
Following the previous dozen pages that cropped up in the last 10 hours I would like to congratulate Ginngie for being drunk with distinction. - Vi- fferyllt

I use different browser apps on my laptop, tablet and phone for hydra accounts, as well as different ms styles, and (mostly) only access games via the bookmarks tab in the appropriate browser/account. If I slip once, I'll keep slipping because many of the barriers to slipping have been breached.

I usually have the thread bookmarked on my main so that I'll notice if something happened in the thread. I know that doing this increases the risk of altslipping but it also increases the chance that I'll respond to stuff in a timely manner. Also sometimes I'll check out a thread in one browser that isn't my main because I want to preserve #unread but I want to know what's happening, too. I don't slip very much though, I try to pay attention to what I'm doing when I'm doing it, thinking consciously "I'm logged in on the wrong account right now" before opening the thread and that helps me not slip.The failure mode of clever is asshole.

Wrote a chrome-extension to prevent this.
how to use:
download
unzip
drag-drop folder into chrome-extensions window.
game-threads should now show a checkbox instead of a reply-form.
