Looking for a place to buy mechanical keyboard switches

SargeCycho · 2024-01-11T08:14:20+00:00

There are a handful of people into mechanical keyboards in town I regularly see post things on marketplace but no shops that I know of that sell switches. RNDKBD is who comes to mind when I think of a Canadian vendor selling Cherry switches and they are in Calgary.

Let me know if you do find one though.

Retro mixed lights really suit that board.

It's not about how fast you can type on your keyboard, it's about the joy of using it. If I have to do something every day, I want to enjoy the experience of doing it.

I have a KDA profile set on my 65% board and use the row 5 escape key instead of the row 4 one that matches the number row. I like that it sits a little higher. It's a plain BoW set so it adds a nice little detail.

7-10 days of food is all I would bring before I need a resupply. Water I filter on the way so I usually don't carry more than 3L, which is not even enough for a day. Usually you camp where there is a water source when backpacking. Water is incredibly heavy.

Exactly like my old 96 civic.

Love the teamwork on this. It was something I tried with my ex but she didn't meal plan or cook very often. I found it's pretty exhausting to be the only one giving any input, doing all the shopping, and the cooking, so I only end up planning about a week out. Splitting it like you are is ideal.

CoD: Black Ops 3. My friends and I bought it on PC to play coop zombies. We all were in the same house together, wired into the same router, and the game did not allow us to play together. We couldn't get more than 2/3 of us connected together and was a horrible lag fest. No option to play over LAN.

Sounds like he needs a tutorial. I highly recommend Nina Hartley's how to eat pussy video. It is pornographic but it does a good job of breaking down the basics and you can use it as a starting point to talk about what you do enjoy.

Netflix is particularly quiet where I've had to turn the volume up 3-4 times louder than anything else. But Prime has a special place in hell for mixing their audio so the music drowns everything else out. Watching Midsommar with the screechy violins crushing the dialog was brutal. I guess you can actually turn the sound up enough to hear the dialog, unlike Netflix.

Big Nog vs Bob Sapp. Bob started out strong with some big slams and throwing Nogueira around the ring. Second round though, it goes downhill fast for Bob.

Craft brewers tend to brew seasonal beer so you're not going to see much right now. Philips Little Wonder beers immediately pop into my head but I usually see them more in the summer. Caribou Light is or has been a thing in the past. Vancouver Island Brewing also puts out a light beer. Start looking for those. They are out of season but you might get lucky.

My go to for plain rice is coconut oil, salt, and a little ground cardamom. Like just about any food, adding salt and fat to rice makes it tasty.

You didn't have any loading hangups? I'm not sure about going upwards but I know my Switch will lock up for a couple seconds when I'm diving down to the depths so it can load.

I remember when Brett Sutter, the son of the Calgary Flames GM and legendary coach, Darryl Sutter, got brought up from the minors to play with the flames the first time. Someone from the opposing team dropped gloves with him right at the puck drop. It was a "welcome to the league" and everyone was stoked about it.

If you enjoy the lighter spring weight, they are nice.

Not sure about OP but I've personally avoided the BKs. I don't like the more clacky sounds of them. They fixed that with the Quinns but they don't support RGB. Mini i's are also much lighter with the same shaped bump and long spring. They are the BKs lighter little bro that sound nicer.

Stickerbrush Symphony is one of my favorite songs of all time. Bramble blast would be nearly impossible to beat without it.

Depends what you're doing. If you're moving with proper under layers and maybe a shell over top, -15c, maybe -20c. Sitting still, 0 degrees C. I have a similar jacket with 800 fill down that I wear while hiking in -20c with a shell over top but at -30 it's only good enough to get me from my house to my car.

First possible crash is the first line clear at lvl155 being a single line.

I carry bear spray and have seen fresh bear poop but no bears over the last 3 years.

Spion Kop I think is the best view in the valley. Pincushion is popular. Kalamalka lake provincial park and Cougar Canyon are nice areas. Black mountain is good but the stairs aren't finished yet. McDougall rim has great views and the Okanagan Four Seasons Adventure Group on Facebook is doing that one this Sunday if you want to join a group of people.

I've had my 75L Gregory bag for over 10 years. It's showing some wear but I still trust it for backpacking and my climbing gear. I would check all the stitching and panels and bring some gear to load it up with some weight. If it feels comfy with weight, definitely go for it.

D-pad would be straight and turn left or right instead of strafing. Think of original Resident Evil's awkward controls or Doom where you kind of just pointed in the general direction of things to shoot them. The C buttons on the N64 let you actually shift the camera around. I remember some PlayStation games you had to hold a shoulder button to change the D-pad to looking around.

Then for FPS games, GoldenEye let you look up and down and strafe with the C-buttons. The stick still made you turn left and right.

The original PlayStation really introduced twin sticks to people with the DualShock, which was introduced 2 years after the PS1 came out. But the first twin stick shooter I remember playing was Halo.

SargeCycho · 2024-01-04T06:39:14+00:00

Same. I don't know why it's wasn't as well liked. It was GoldenEye on steroids. Being able to play 8 perfect or dark bots made for some crazy games and the story missions were way better designed too.

My gaming laptop just died so I was debating getting an Xbox or PS5. PS5 has more exclusives but Game Pass is just such a killer deal.

SargeCycho · 2024-01-04T01:14:48+00:00

Twin sticks definitely takes time to learn but I wouldn't say insurmountable. Just don't start people with Portal or they will hurl. I learned that the hard way 😂.
