For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.

Yeah, things aren’t clear-cut. There are several matters in which Japan is painfully behind, and being such a populus country you can find people with views across the board.

But a lax justice system isn’t one of them. In fact Japan almost certainly has a huge problem with ostracising and convicting the innocent. You might hear about people losing their jobs just for getting arrested, even if found innocent.

And while laws also definitely need improving, it’s happening.

The main problem with stuff like age of consent, is going to be communities and groups of people who are behind on these things, and thereby shielding individuals from justice by keeping the bad things happening out of earshot of society at large. Their justice system might be brutally ruthless, but that doesn’t help if it never finds out about the crime in the first place.

That’s a completely different conversion.

And you might want to check Japanese conviction rates before making assumptions. Their system is damn near “guilty until proven innocent”.

Now, whether such crimes actually get reported, is again, another, different conversation. There absolutely are vile predators over there, as a judge publicly commented he thought it was weird he could get arrested for banging a 14-year-old.

But the ensuing scandal is also the reason why that dude is no longer a judge, and why the national minimum finally got raised.

There isn’t one. They are repeating a technically kind-of-true funny ha-ha internet factoid.

The effective age of consent is higher, as prefectures all have local laws setting it to something sane, but people say it’s 13 because it was the old national minimum on record up until last year.

And that national law was literally from over a hundred years back, and was finally updated last year to raise the national minimum to 16. Still lower than the 18 in effect in places like Tokyo.

Not since last year, when it was raised to 16.

Even then that was the national minimum set over a hundred years ago.

In practice it’s 18 in most prefectures, and has been for years, due to local law setting it to something sane.

Also it’s apparently already being completely destroyed by a cheater.

Good.

Shitty cyclists suck. I ride my own bike every day, and I can’t get over how often I see someone riding among pedestrians, (often along a road clear of cars, or worse yet, along an actual bike lane right there).

I must have shouted “the bike lane is literally right here” as I go past people like this over a hundred times in my life.

It’s obvius to me that hitting someone with my bike would be horrible, yet I see people riding them all the time like it’s the same as lightly jogging.

Stoicism, competence, composure, equanimity or level-headedness, can be.

Tranquility, not being a quality of the human mind, but rather a feeling or state of being, cannot be. The dictionary definition of tranquil (free from disturbance) is mutually exclusive with a mind that is actively dealing with concerns of any kind. Because then you are not free of disturbance, are you?

You can remain calm and in control, but if there is force of any kind that you must interact with in any way, you cannot be tranquil.

Can you get there by ignoring any current troubles for a moment, simply not thinking about them for a minute? Yes, but that’s still temporary.

What you are claiming, is like saying silence is the ability to ignore noise.

Or that silence can be “maintained” at a concert. That by refusing to let the music make you dance, you might prevent it being played.

Can you still plug your ears? Sure. But you can’t listen, while doing that.

We are using different definitions of the word.

You explain what your definition is, which affects mine (being the dictionary defintion) in no way whatsoever. We have nothing to discuss.

What you describe I would call stoicism, competence, composure or equanimity.

Most simply, level-headedness.

But not tranquility. Tranquility, by definition, being a state free of turmoil, cannot be maintained, if dealing with turmoil.

Look up the difference between “most” and “all”.

Further, consider that not all people are pacifists.

Finally, note how I go on to describe how one can feel things one otherwise wouldn’t, depending on what one is focused on.

You have to willfully bend my words to misinterpret what I said to mean that tranquility is an impossible state for a person to be in.

Then it’s a good thing that isn’t what I claimed.

Well, yes.

But by all-knowing, I meant the kind of view an omniscient god would have, accompanied by complete control of the universe.

Essentially, religious figures typically get to exist, knowing for sure that everything is going and will go according to plan.

It’s EASY to be tranquil, then. Even easier if you’re just a human, who genuinely believes such an entity exists.

It’s easy for religious figures to be depicted as tranquil. They are often all-knowing, and if not, have faith in something all-knowing. They can blindly believe that everything will be fine, even if right now things look bad.

Because sky-daddy will take care of things.

For most people, a prerequisite feeling for tranquility, is contentment.

And trust me, no pacifist is “content” with the current state of the world. “Worry-free” is literally in the first sentence on the wikipedia page of the word, and I don’t think anyone can be that, except temporarily and/or by being inebriated.

The only way I know to be tranquil, is to ignore the world, and willfully focus only on the good things in my immediate surroundings, in my life specifically.

Essentially, to get there I have to take a break from caring about most things. I don’t like doing that. I want to improve things, and to do that I have to care about things to begin with.

Maybe it needs to super-national?

Aw fuck. Which one is made-up?

So what am I, being trilingual?
