No for real, I'm bored. Ask me stuff lol.

I'm trying to not lose my mind debugging this stupid Android app. I'm jobless and don't know what I'm doing with my life.

Recently got diagnosed with ASD at 40. I'm severely depressed and suicidal. I listen to shitty music, read theory and pretend I understand it, oh and I'm super hungover because I suffer from alcoholism. I'm an open book so please don't doxx me <3.

    I have a book of poetry published, and a tiny Android app published but those weren't hard to get out there really.

    Uh...

    Ok, I go with this since it's a hobby, but I build keyboards for fun. I am typing on a keyboard that I built from almost scratch. It's a Ferris Sweep. I use a custom firmware for it that let's me program it however I want. I write code and can play games on a keyboard with only 34 keys. Not only that but my "programming layer" is a custom project that I developed over a span of maybe 4 months through trial and error. My keymap uses Colemak-DH, and the board uses a column stagger format that I objectively feel like is the more correct format that humans should type on. I took a 3 month time period to relearn to type all over again so I could use a column staggered Colemak keyboard. It's been one of the best thinkgs I think I've done to improve myself too. I could never touch type and now I can't type by looking at my hands. It wouldn't even matter because I use blank keycaps lol.

            Everyone was all about the Pandas and I found Oreos on Drop on sale, saw the spring weight and it was a no brainer. Big ass tactile bump and light springs but heavy enough to return properly is fantastic. They sound amazing too.

            I was following the development of the Sunsets since they were first announced and pre-ordered and felt it was time to learn to solder. They are a bit wobbly but having a nice solid tactile feeling on such a low profile caseless board is awesome.

        It's honestly ok lol. If you can avoid it, don't get into the mechanical keyboard hobby. Find a board you like and then just leave. Don't even look back. You will actually turn into a pillar of salt.
