Oh definitely! Tbf I'm speaking from my experience back in like 2023ish so I feel like since then there's def options as good as keychron that are less expensive

Ohhh right the ceramic hype lmfao OK fair.

They are a bit overpriced for sure but I think as like a beginner starting point it's worth it bc at least if you have issues you can just Google instead of having to (shudder) be on discord servers. So I dunno. I think keychron is valid LOL

WAIT KEYCHRON? I mean tbf mine I bought barebones and did my own stuff with but I thought they were at least somewhere in the middle.

Anyways yes kbs are a rabbit hole lmao. I've been hibernating on my hyperfix for a bit but I'm feeling it may be time for me to build another Soon

oh frayed, I hope you feel better soon! I can totally relate to the low-ness and dread, been there since about October and only just now feeling a bit more alive. Take care of yourself!

LITERALLY. it also makes me really upset that for the minor npcs in DE they kept the style and just upscaled it more or less but for the main characters they redid it. i need to see a version of DE before they redid the entire main party. please

Also I ended up furthering my video editing skills by also learning motion design later on at my first job so that's very cool :D I think graphic design is really the perfect thing for someone like me who likes both the techical and creative aspects of things tho

I'm so glad I got to study graphic design in a specifically print production context. It got me to enjoy design in a physical space and the wonders of books, paper and all that fun stuff only I care about :D

And now I'm bringing it full circle from making gaming videos to making books about games 🧡
