  • I’m very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

    I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I’ll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

    Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven’t, go and try them on, it’s a fun genre.

    I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.









  • I disagree, the Abaya is not just a flowing robe.

    It is a garment that is required by the Sharia law (see Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries where women are not allowed to choose what they wear).

    Allowing this is the first step in letting religion in the public schools in France, where it has always been explicitly banned.

    And it is very unlike banning rainbows, those are a symbol used to promote acceptance of the diversity of others, something religions struggle with (ever notice how religion is closely tied with extremism?)

    Another factor to take into account is that these young girl may be forced by their family to wear such a garment, imposing upon them something they may not be old enough to refuse.

    Also, look up the paradox of intolerance, as allowing anyone to do as they please causes the rise of extremism.






  • I bought a moonlander by ZSA about a year ago.

    I found the split allows for a much more relaxed position while writing, and being able to adjust the halves individually when I reposition myself is very comfortable.

    They also have the benefit of having thumb clusters, giving more work to the strongest finger of the hand.

    Another benefit I find is that most split keyboards are fully programmable, which makes customizing it to your needs very nice.

    The only drawback I find to this keyboard (apart from the price, which is not cheap) is that it is hefty, and not easy to transport. The fact that it is wired clutters a bit the desktop, if this is something that concerns you.

    I recently built a corne low profile yo have something more transportable and wireless, but this is much more involved, as the configuration goes through writing code and not a nice UI.

    However the comfort of this new board is very nice.

    There was a whole subreddit dedicated to ergonomcal keyboards, ErgoMechKeyboards, which is very interesting to browse, as what I have done is seen as extreme by my coworkers, but tame compared to what some people are do.
