I spend the majority of my time at a keyboard, so I've always thought of keyboarding as my most practical middle school elective. Now, I'm convinced, because if I hadn't taken that class I may well have never played David Lynch Teaches Typing, a short, free typing game available on Itch courtesy of developer Rhino Stew.

In what will very likely prove to be the day's strangest videogame crossover, although let's not rule anything completely out yet, Square Enix and Electronic Arts are bringing Sims 4 outfits to Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition on Origin. And not just any Sims costumes, oh no: I'm talking about the Llama Suit and Plumbob, wearable by Noctis in the FF15 single-player campaign.

>>So each store has its unique addition, to encourage one purchase over the other... or maybe even both. In any case, it won't surprise me when mods bring all these special costumes to everybody.
