É só isso.

We adopted a Golden Retriever puppy and everything went pretty smoothly. She's currently almost 5 months old. The in-home potty training went very well and very fast, she always does her business in a diaper-like sheet (sorry, I don't know the english term).

Now that she has her vaccines in order, she's ready to go outside. We've been trying for 1 week for her to get used to doing her business outside but it has been a frustrating experience. She doesn't feel comfortable doing her business outside and will only do it when she can't hold anymore. Her ability to hold poop is not that high so we have had some (not much) success with pooping outside but... we discovered that she can hold her pee for at least 4 hours. We haven't managed to get her to pee outside yet.

Things we tried:

• We take 3 walks a day, after every meal; Shorter walk on lunch time, longer walk on dinner time.
• Take the diaper sheets (both clean and dirty) outside, to create a sense of familiarity or smell. She ignores them completely
• Long walks with leash on grass or open field
• Long time in a doggy park, without leash and no other dogs and lots of water
• Walks with other friendly dogs that pee/poop frequently
• Praising other dogs when they pee/poop
• Play time with other friendly dogs in the doggy park
• Removing the diaper sheets inside, which causes to do her business on the floor without much of a thought
• Do a picnic on the grass and have her on a long leash to walk "freely"

We praise and reward her heavily when she poops outside and have no reaction when she does her business inside. She is still excited to go outside, I feel like she loves it there! Just doesn't enjoy doing her business there, I guess.

Any tips? Thanks a lot!

I've always been a sucker for RPG games. When I'm feeling down I tend to play Final Fantasy 8 or Final Fantasy 10, they're like my comfort games.

I've had a hard time finding joy in modern RPG games, they all feel very grindy and seem to have an uninteresting plot. I'm looking for something that sparks joy, so I don't have look for some ridiculous challenge like Khimari only run in FF10 or something.

Things that spark joy:

• Being able to play on Steam Deck or at least stream from my (linux) desktop
• Decent graphics, though pixel art is ok
• Voice acting
• No random encounters
• Good plot
• Good combat

Things that do not spark joy:

• Too much grinding
• DnD mechanics
• Mandatory online requirement

Games that I really enjoyed:

• Final Fantasy 7 through 10
• Final Fantasy 5
• Dragon Quest XI
• Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2
• South Park games
• Stardew Valley

Games that I did not enjoy:

• Elden Ring - I guess I just don't have the mental patience for souls games anymore.
• Final Fantasy X-2 - great combat mechanics, horrendous plot
• "Modern" Final Fantasy games
• Divinity: Original Sin 2, Disco Elysium - feels too much like DnD
• Hogwarts Legacy - It felt amazing at first but then got super repetitive
• Persona 5 Royal - The game severely overstayed its welcome, very bloated, very repetitive dialog (the characters tell you the same information multiple times)
• I am Setsuna - The plot resembled Final Fantasy 10 way too much, felt like I had already played that game. Didn't finish
• Kingdom Hearts - Severe motion sickness
• Octopath Traveler - The plot felt extremely disconnected, random encounters were annoying, I got stuck due to an underleveled party and didn't have the patience to grind it up

Thanks in advance!

I want to get my SO a keyboard and unfortunately she uses ISO keyboards exclusively. ANSI is not an option.

The only keyboard I found were the keychron ones, looking for more options :/ Something like the Nuphy Air V2 would be amazing.

Anything out there, preferably TKL or smaller? Wired is totally fine.
