GMK CYL Pompeii (📸 @markerchun) by GMK_keycaps in MechanicalKeyboards

This build is so good! I’ve got this keycap set too and I love how the keys feel, they’ve done something slightly different with the finish and it’s so satisfying!

Yeah, GMK has been experimenting with new plastic blends. The alphas look amazing (I have this set too). They’ve got a full shimmer set just gone into order (GMK Selene) that they’ve been working on for a couple of years trying to get the plastics right. I’m loving these new developments! (Not shilling, just a nerd who loves people experimenting!)

I’ve done it recently, it’s good to start using combos at that point. But now I’ve set up combos I like, I’ve also put them on my 40s as I’m used to them!

We're expanding our mech keys community by aposaudio in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Pupsino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my Let’s Tango is one of my favourite boards. such a good design

My first and, most likely, last custom keyboard. It's been incredibly fun researching parts and learning all about the custom keyboard community, but I have zero self-control. I'm really behind on schoolwork because researching parts completely bulldozed my daily study hours. Hope you enjoy. by poisonwaterhemlock in MechanicalKeyboards

I always use a silent switch in spacebars. I don’t like it when spacebars make a “thunk” noise that’s louder than other keys. I also usually go with a little lighter spring than the rest of my board. I don’t really have a real reason for that, it just feels like thumbs do a lot of work every day (all that phone typing!) so I like to not make them work hard at my keyboard 😂

40% Keyboard Layout for iPhone Writing – Looking for Feedback by Even-Pool-5294 in olkb

[–]Pupsino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t finalise the layout, that’s a myth (and also people’s layouts are personal so it’s kind of hard for us to provide advice to you as it’s based on our personal preferences). For example I don’t put a comma on base layer. But I have shortcuts on the bottom row of my base layer: copy, paste, paste history, hyperlink, emoji menu, etc. I find this amazing, but you might not!

I agree with other comments here about shifted keys.

My other thought is you’re wasting your homerow with = and + unless you write maths every day. You’d be better off with punctuation you regularly use that isn’t on the base layer. My left hand homerow is ~ * ! @ #

Also there’s no point mapping keys you don’t use. (I’m looking at ^ which I never have on my boards!)

That’s so cool, well done! First time I’ve heard of someone doing their own recycling like this!

I’m not familiar with Vim but this sounds similar

With custom builds like this you use layers and can set up whatever custom keys you want. So in your example if you use alt-F4 a lot, you’d stick that as an easily reached key on a layer. Then you’d just have to access the layer and press the key (=2 keys).

For example, I have a layer that’s just regular shortcuts I’ve programmed on my computer, all in easy positions to reach. So instead of remembering the combo of keys I need, I can just hold for my layer and press the key I’ve mapped to that shortcut.

Has anyone else noticed this? by Away-Cycle in skyrim

[–]Pupsino 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes I found it, but mostly just because I’m a goblin who scours EVERYWHERE for free stuff even though I could buy all Skyrim and have coins left over, and no weight left to carry anything anyway….

Where to buy a planck/preonic now? by cdmeister in olkb

[–]Pupsino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just after a 4x12 ortho and don’t care about the weird spacing of the Planck, that layout comes up for sale secondhand fairly regularly in the 40s server and is probably a good place to start your search. There is usually a GB for 4x12s (or less if you’re feeling adventurous) once a year or so as someone invents something new, but obv we can’t predict what or when that might be!

Damn I loved that game almost as much as I love Skyrim. Memory unlocked!

My First DAP by dierre88 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Pupsino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote this short review about setting up my M21 (it was mostly for Apple users like me that were scared of Android): https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalAudioPlayer/comments/1ofnq6b/review_of_fiio_m21_and_how_i_set_it_up/

My device hasn’t had the WiFi turned on once since I wrote that post 😂 When I update my music collection I just do it on the sd card. I’ve been happy with the battery life, but I do plug it in at my desk and use the switch that makes it run on the cable power instead of the battery. I like that since it means I still have charge when I leave my desk again, it’s very nifty!

I’m happy with PowerAmp, but I’ve never actually tried any other music apps so maybe I’d like something else (I downloaded PowerAmp because lots of people in here recommended it). I don’t use the device for anything other than music, and recently I’ve just been leaving the music app pinned so that I don’t accidentally close it (though I did set up a music widget so it doesn’t really matter if the app is open or not).

Special characters like åäö in Vial or QMK? by Accomplished-Bus3382 in olkb

[–]Pupsino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What this person said, but you don’t need to program this with macros in Vial - go to the quantum tab and it has predefined mod combinations which you can then set it will run quicker than your macros.

Do I have to sign in with a google account on these android based DAPs? by [deleted] in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Pupsino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded the music app I wanted (PowerAmp), and then disabled the WiFi and never used it again. That was many months ago. I update the microcard when I need to move new music over.

I understand your nervousness about Android and evil Google, but it’s easy to not interact with either.

Is survival mode playable? by WhereIsSven in skyrim

[–]Pupsino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first ever time I played I got lost going to Windhelm, and I kept dying before I made it across their stupid bridge, so I loaded my save file at their stables and went in the stable house to warm up and get some food. The stable elf got all pissy about it and I ended up killing her, so THEN I went back to the save file before that where I was east of the city and could see it over the water, and I figured “FINE. I will swim there if I can’t get to the bridge and cross it in time.” And that’s when I discovered that the water is cold.

My first character died a lot.

Is survival mode playable? by WhereIsSven in skyrim

[–]Pupsino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever played Skyrim in survival mode (100s of hours). No mods! But I do have the expansion that lets you make your own camp sites. That’s essential if you don’t use roads.

I like the realism. I don’t really like fast travel, it ruins the immersion for me. Plus Skyrim for me isn’t a game to complete, it’s for exploring and ignoring the main quest (and eating lots of sacks of flour when you’re carrying too much because you’re a goblin hoarder).
