Unfortunately people are complacent about it. I've known a ton of people who've lived all over the inland empire and are willing to drive 2ish hours a day to work in LA just because they want their own house with a lawn.

I've known someone that lives as far as apple valley and works in Pasadena and makes this trip both ways 6 days out of the week. It's insanity.

Oooh these are neat. Definitely going this route whenever I can afford to upgrade.

You can definitely play MGS5/V before playing 4, if you've played 3 you'll have 60% of the context needed. Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes make up the last 39%. IIRC the only context you'll get from playing 4 is a few things involving the Les Enfants Terribles project.

EDIT: Thinking on it, if anything playing MGS4 after V might actually enhance your enjoyment of the series as it was fully meant to be a bookend to the series.

Oh, I must have misread. That's good to hear then.

Unfortunately I don't have a Wii U, I played through 3U mostly solo on the 3ds, but thank you for the invite.

Death Stranding, Overwatch, Monster Hunter 3U.

Death Stranding because I'm not going to subject anyone to Kojima's brand of technobabble and self-fellation combined with a (admittedly fairly deep mechanically) walking simulator.

Overwatch because an FPS/MOBA combination has to be doing some actual damage to my psyche, and also it's just a hard sell to start with because of obvious reasons.

MH3U because it's only available on the 3DS and Wii U and it's the last really slow MH of the pre-World MHs. On 3DS it has no online play, and the Wii U servers have been taken down. It's the last MH before they introduced the mobility additions and improvements from 4 that made combat more fluid and fast, and before World introduced the system that basically finds the monster for you, as well as making mat gathering much more easy and less tedious.

EDIT: ooh for something that's more 'obscure jank' I just remembered I LOVED Phantom Breaker on the 360. It was a fighting game by 5pb/Mages that had a split style system. You had to choose between 'Quick' and 'Hard' where one was fast/felt more rushdown-y and the other was slower/felt more defensive. The game was super flashy because you would constantly clash, and meter built really fast WHILE ALSO CARRYING OVER BETWEEN ROUNDS which led to wild round start set-ups. This clip from will it kill is from the newer version but it's fucking hilarious.

Holy shit I just saw the modlog for your com, that guy's response is both unhinged and hilarious.

I spent way too much time on this game, but I made at least one life long friend on it.

And it was the first place I ever met a trans person. Her screen name was kirademi and I will always thank her for letting me ask my stupid teenage questions about trans women way before I had an inkling that I might be trans. I owe it to her though because she helped me understand and empathize with trans people from a young age. I haven't spoken to her in well over a decade at this point but I hope she's doing great wherever she is.

I miss playing mid rate and ultra high rates though. I catch myself reminiscing about the stalker class and the professor class, they were probably some of my favorite mmo classes because of their pvp class specific abilities and versatility. When battlegrounds came out on the last midrate I played, I rolled support and control on both jobs because they were nearly unkillable when spec'd correctly.

Ah yeah! This was kind of my thought with the stagger on my split design. The Mod/Q/W Columns are unstaggered for comfort when switching between WASD and typing posture. The way I did it makes sense to my hands specifically, but I think yours makes more sense in general.

Yeah, the Atreus was a big inspiration for that design. I tried a planck style board for a while but I just can't do it; I need the number row.

For the bottom one I'm just having the 10 key on the left and nothing on the right. I've been looking a southpaw ortho or staggered ortho as well as a split but they all have certain compromises that I don't vibe with so I decided to just design my own.

I thought I needed 3 per half at one point, and now use 2 per.

I'm thinking the same tbh. I might end up moving one of them closer to the alphas.

I'm eager to see the end result to both of these.

For sure! I'll ping you if I remember whenever my adhd decides to cycle back to hyperfocus.

I think in the end of the day it's how they feel really. If Awoo likes them than awesome.

Oh for sure, I'm sure hall effect switches feel much different than regular linears, and more options is always a good thing in this space.

I never see anyone talk about my favorite MX style switch and think that anyone who likes Pandas or U4Ts should at least check them out at the very least(EG Oreo).

I just got into tactiles recently when I finally put in my Magic Girl SP-Stars and I really enjoy them. I'll definitely check out the EG Oreos when I get the chance to.
