She kind of looks like Patrick Stewart

Maybe at a concert, sure. But at a town hall? No.

Portal 2 has a very fun co-op story mode. In fact, I'd recommend the solo story mode for both Portal 1 and 2 as well. One of my favorite video game stories ever.

I haven't played them myself but I believe both It Takes Two and A Way Out were designed to be played in co-op only so both their stories should be good.

I think the Keychron V6 Max might be right up your alley.

It meets all of your requirements (100% layout, back light, quiet depending on your switches).

It's also hotswapable so very beginner friendly when you're trying to find switches you like. Here's a sound test of all 3 switch options for the Keychron V6. There's not a huge difference to me but I'm also just on mobile right now. With your budget you can also choose to try other switches too. You can use the stock switches as a starting point to see what type of switch best fits your needs. For example, note the force used to actuate (activate) the switch. If it feels too light, find a switch that has a higher force. Videos can help to identify which sound nice but keep in mind that the keyboard will also impact the sound.

Lastly the V6 can be used via Bluetooth or wireless USB for a cleaner look. I didn't see gaming as a requirement so the lower latency over wireless connection should be fine.

There are other Keychron keyboards too if you want other options. The Q6 is very similar but is entirely made of metal, thus increasing the cost to $205 for a fully assembled board. Hippyo has an informative video on building and modding a custom keyboard using the Keychron Q6 as a base model.

Reminds me of this exchange between Leslie and Ann from Parks and Rec.

About 5 months ago I ordered this clock and it is still working fine now. It's definitely cheaper than the listed price (it's just cardboard and the clock motor) but it's absolutely silent and it makes me smile every time I see it.

I also bought a lot of cute clothes for my dog for under like $5 each outfit so that's really nice.

It's not out yet but Marvel Rivals looks like it may be a good fit. Hopefully they'll announce the release date soon now that the closed beta is over.

Piggybacking on this to say that if you join groups based around your hobbies you can make good friends that way too. It's really hard to make friends during class because you're too focused on schoolwork to be social.

And don't be discouraged if one group doesn't work out. I had a tough time making friends my freshman year of college and tried joining an anime club but didn't like the vibe of that club. My RA pushed me to volunteer for Resident Life and that's where I made all my closest college friends. Joining clubs, volunteer organizations, or other social groups is a great way to meet similar minded people. People in these groups tend to be friendly so they can attract more people into the group.

The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.

The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.

("The Story of the Wild Huntsman") is the only story not primarily focused on children. In it, a hare steals a hunter's musket and eyeglasses and begins to hunt the hunter. In the ensuing chaos, the hare's child is burned by hot coffee and the hunter jumps into a well.

lol wut?

 

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won't be able to figure out how to fix it.

I've tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can't add my mom's YouTube account to a different family account for another year.

I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?
