Check out the Frank Lloyd Wright houses, southwest PA and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perfect for photography.

(As for being gay, I'm bi and from a rural part of the state. You could hear homophobia, but there are spots to hang out, like a local coffee shop, etc. a lot of the just ignorant rednecks have casual homophobia but you could get through to them if they know you)

WV actually has the highest rate of trans youth in the country, a lot of queer folk in Appalachia who just don't get much attention or support, but you won't be alone

Going back to the good ole' days of plug-n-play games I see. But I think it will depend, I could def see Xbox doing something super minimal like that, but Nintendo, probably not. I don't think there is any one 'future' of gaming because people will like different experiences.

  1. I like the idea of owning a game, not just having a license that can be revoked at any time. That concept is getting more elusive, but for example when you don't have internet or there's a server issue you can't play your digital Xbox titles.
  2. The experience is different. I have had Steam for a decade and have dozens of titles, mostly bought through a Steam sale or a Humble bundle, but there are so many I can't actually play them all. Every physical game I buy, I will play for at least a few hours.

EDIT: Also, second-hand. I buy about half of my games used. I can also borrow a copy from a friend.

Well since it is off-season things should be pretty open, the area is gorgeous in the fall. Battlefield, ofc, grew up in the area and Devil's Den is great. Since we are getting to Christmas, there's a great German Christmas store about 15 minutes from Gettysburg in New Oxford. If you enjoy breweries a lot have popped up in the past 5 years. My favorite place in town is Waldo's, an art-coop which also functions as a café/virgin cocktail bar and used book store, it's on the basement-level below one of the shops in the square I think or in a back alley off Carlisle Street.
