  • Star Wars: Galaxies had a killer open world housing system! I loved it and nothing else I’ve played has even come close to what SW:G had. Plus, after a bit of patching they included a system where you can create a city that shows up on the map, including shuttle/fast travel points and benefits to locals. Housing wasn’t instanced, so you could build nearly anywhere on the map outside of in-game cities and other players cities. It was truly awesome. Sony Online Entertainment screwed it over again and again and again, and now it’s gone. I played that game for years.

    Never played UO but I heard good things.


  • Off the top: I’d say Palm Springs, Free Guy, Deadpool movies, Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and the Weird Al movie all were movies that came out recently, were funny(IMO), and primarily marketed to an adult audience. In the child friendly vein you’ve got stuff like Barbie, the Chip n Dale movie, Encanto(or any recent Disney movie) and so on. Just because it’s made for kids doesn’t make it any less funny.

    Comedy is out there, but studios don’t seem to be going in for the old raunchy comedy formulas any more. This is not a bad thing in my estimation. Lots of old comedies like that(revenge of the nerds, superbad, Austin powers) don’t age that well because some if not all make light of subjects that today are seen to be no laughing matter.



  • I recommend the Ergodox EZ. I’ve been using mine for work for over 6 years, 40 hours a week and it’s still running and typing as good as the day I got it. It’s saved me an unreal amount of wrist and back pain because typing on it feels natural. Ergodox has other keyboards with similar split key setups too so once of those might be more to your liking. Check them out at zsa dot io.

    There’s a bit of a learning curve, but if you’re already a person who types every day at 60-70 WPM or more then it won’t take you long to get used to it. Bonus: the keys can be reprogrammed at the firmware level so that you won’t need specific software to assign keys once it’s set up to your satisfaction.

    I’ve used other mechanical keyboards that have a split setup. I’ve got a CloudNine C959 on my home computer which is decent, but it’s definitely different than the Ergodox. The C9 keyboard is like a regular keyboard that’s split in half whereas the Ergodox is a complete keyboard redesign. Both good but the Ergodox makes typing nearly effortless. Anyway best of luck on your search!
