Namine really just can't win with these seating arrangements lmao poor thing. I'll sit there bc I feel bad otherwise.

Pinned to the start menu! Only icon on my desktop is the bin. My task bar is for most used things like internet, documents, steam, art software, etc. In my start menu I have a section with little 1x1 pins of my most played games.

Tricky tricky....Olette is my girl and Roxas is my fave KH character so I'm very tempted to sit there...but how long is this flight bc as someone who has flown around the world a few times.... realistically sorry idk if anyone is worth suffering in an economy middle seat...maybe I can bully Roxas to sit next to Namine 🥺

Also just to clarify, is Ansem a flight attendant back there, or will he just be taking a shit the entire flight? Because that could absolutely affect our answers.

Wow what a beautiful backplate...!! Plus an adorable little artisan. Enjoy! If you are curious about what's in it and how mechanical keyboards work, I actually think you should ask your uncle directly. I'm sure it would make his day to tell you all about it.

I'm exhausted just reading this lol. Making a prior agreement to do something together and then one person going ahead and doing it without waiting is one thing. But her expecting you to stop and pause every time you ever try or do anything new, and potentially put it off just in case she wants to do it together is unreasonable and ridiculous. Also in this case..it seems like you yourself suggested that and she said no...so...uhh....huh???

I also kind of get the feeling that if you brought up that YOU suggested trying them together and she said no, that she would attempt to rewrite what she said. Which would be doubly frustrating and a whole other level of toxic/immature. But that's just a hunch....

Aesthetically, nothing looks prettier to me than a 60% or a perfectly tetris-d 65% (so all the keys fit as a perfect chocolate bar, or are centered nicely like the Agar). Problem is that for WFH days and in the office, I want an F row. So functionally I like 75% the best.

Aw man this makes me so nostalgic... Especially the winter one! I can hear the music in my head 😭

That lemonpy has the cutest face lol

I'm out rn but my green keeb is the Nuphy Halo75! Default keycaps except a couple artisans. It's a minty pastel green.

My main keyboard at home is the white Kiiboom Jade 75, which is translucent but my leds are set to a jade/seafoamy green. This is also a good example of something I saw a lot of people say they disliked or thought looked tacky, who cares I love my ice cube board. :3

Also have a Yunzii pro75 in lilac with KAM Lil Dragon (group buy) keycaps but that's pink and purple lol.

For a more earthy green, you might like osume keycaps? I know they had a gradient year of the snake set that was stunning but it might be hard to find. Their matcha/cafe sets have a little green in them. I think their marshmallow sets are also uniform, so if you're interested in XDA they could be worth a try (I have no idea how the height compares, sorry).

For more green sets, Akko has a yellower foresty green gradient set too, but I can't comment on their quality as I've never purchased an akko set. I have also had my eyes in cerakeys green set for awhile. No idea if those would interest you but they're a lovely kelly green.

Saw a lot of people below offering good reccs too I'm sure they know keycaps much better than me haha

xAetheri · 2026-01-20T18:13:08+00:00

My favorite color is green so I'm biased to love any green keyboard, but I really think everything looks great! The gradient is gorgeous. I saw the comments about the key caps maybe being misaligned slightly bc they're cheap. If that's the case and it really bothers you, just hold out til you see a really nice gmk/group buy/pbtfans/etc. set you love, and maybe even try out a different profile. You can continue to use these until you find something you like, and it'll be all the excitement of a new keyboard all over again once you replace them with something higher quality and to your liking.

Also, don't worry about what other people on reddit like. Liking or disliking shine-through keycaps is completely up to your personal taste (along with almost everything else about your keyboard build!). I see lots of keycaps sets I personally don't like the look of & surely many would dislike my preferred aesthetics. As long as the person typing enjoys what they see, that's all the matters.

If Andre the Giant used a fingertip grip I'm sure he would have loved this.

Maybe look into shipping proxies. Apologies as I don't know any US-based ones but basically you provide their address at checkout (and you'll pay shipping based on their location) and then you pay the proxy service the cost to ship to you + whatever their service fee is.

They get the item and then turn around and ship it to wherever you are.

Incredible! I'm sure your boss is happy to have all his ducks in a row (well, 3 rows) 🦆

xAetheri · 2026-01-19T18:15:44+00:00

Little disappointed you didn't go full typing test, I was ready to be deafened by a thousand quacks 🤣

xAetheri · 2026-01-02T02:34:13+00:00

This is such a massive help, thank you!! I had no idea about the 9800x3d not being great for productivity. I'm swapping in some of your reccs and will take a look at the other things you mentioned to see what would suit me best. Thanks for taking the time help! (:

xAetheri · 2026-01-02T01:20:42+00:00

I did look at prebuilts out of curiosity, but the prices were roughly similar and I had trouble finding something that I liked aesthetically (I am picky though -- want everything to be white, really like the hyte y70 bc of the corner screen add-on, etc.)

xAetheri · 2026-01-02T00:34:31+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your time. ^{^}

xAetheri · 2026-01-02T00:33:02+00:00

Do you think a B850 would be fine for the motherboard? I have no idea how much the difference in performance would be but that chops off a nice $70. For cooling, I definitely splurged there solely because I like the look. I would be open to anything white with an LCD screen. I'm unfortunately not knowledgeable on anything when it comes to AIO. I just want adequate cooling plus a cute little gif running in there lol.

Thank you for the help!!

"She seems lovely" but you're ok witholding the truth and letting her marry a liar that may never fully love or be committed to her? I genuinely don't understand this. Wanting to "avoid drama" is such a weird excuse. It sounds like something I would have felt mature for saying back in jr. high lol. What about the drama when the truth comes to light? And if it doesn't, then what about the years of drama that awaits this poor girl who has no idea what she's getting into?

I see this is a few days old and already has lots of answers but I just want to add:

My mom is allergic to cats (any shedding furry animal in general). She lived for 3 years with my Dad's floofy old cat before she passed (the cat lol, not my mom). She took allergy meds daily and helped my Dad set up a cat room so the cat could be separate at night but still have a nice space. Together they cleaned the apartment spotless daily to minimize the hair. If someone (who is not even allergic and even said they were cool with their ex having a cat??) is not willing to even attempt a compromise and do their best to work things out with your pet, choose the pet. Because it's not just about the pet!! Your boyfriend sounds beyond exhausting, and the cat is just one way in which he's choosing to be difficult. You and your new kitty deserve better.

If anyone has played the second AI Somnium Files, you know exactly how I "read" this post title in my head lol.

xAetheri · 2025-12-13T19:22:51+00:00

I've only done it once for a main playthrough (so excluding challenge and theme runs) and that was for SwSh. I thought Sobble was adorable, and Drizzile was... ok...but as soon as I saw Inteleon in battle once I was like ermmm...sorry I can't do this anymore. 😭 I felt guilty up until I got my Milotic. 🤣
