After many troubles, I have completed my first ever keyboard build, my very own Lily58

Like the others said you can map the keys however you want. I removed caps lock and put shift there. I mapped all the numbers to a numpad-like layout on it's own layer, so all of those numbers and special characters are on one hand without needing to lift. The rest of them are on the normal number row on the main layer.

I actually don't use the two "middle" buttons at all

Halo Infinite was sitting at a *mixed* rating for a very long time, but over the course of multiple seasons, content updates and consistent updates to community requested features...

Cool, that's interesting to hear. I played for a month or two when it came out and pretty much abandoned it because it was boring and didn't seem like anything was going to be fixed. Maybe I'll try it out again. Need something to play while drinking a few beers that's not rocket league lmao

Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander

Typing is one of those things that is just experience. Grab a typing test program and put in the time. It took me a few weeks, starting with doing simple things like the equivalent of jkjlj; sets until my pea brain got the minimal amount of muscle memory to be able to use it in the wild. YMMV but I can still use QWERT as well, but it feels weird and not as natural anymore.

Cheeseball - by Bill Mayer

Pointing it out, it does look weird so I did some looking.

He's got it listed on his website and it apparently is shown in an art gallery in Georgia: https://www.thebillmayer.com/original-1/lady-camembert-the-cheeseball

and there's an article talking about it from 2018, so I'm leaning toward it just looking a little awkward but not generated. https://fashionmaniac.com/quirky-portraits-by-bill-mayer-imagine-flora-and-fauna-as-high-society-humans/

My favourite OSes ordered by my preferences

I'm not one to stan for mac because I'd rather just use Linux, but there's a little dot under the icon in the dock if the application is open (windows has a line which is definitely more visible), and you can change the size of the dock. I make it as small as possible and have it grow big when hovering. You can also put it on any side, doesn't have to be the bottom, or horizontal, and it can be hidden so it doesn't take any space unless you mouse over the edge. I think the top bar can work like that too. I hate having things pop up so I don't do that, I just try to minimize the resting screen space used. With my settings it takes up about as much space as the windows task bar.

You can also fullscreen apps and use multi desktop if you really need all your screen space. The laptop work gave me has a notch for the webcam so the os reserves space at at the top for fullscreen as well otherwise apps would be getting part of it cut off (i.e., search bar on slack), but it's 16:10 so whatever.

That being said... let it out bro, I get red in the face any time I have to use MS office products for work lmao
