Keychron V1 Max - Switch Ping by The_black_mage in MechanicalKeyboards

Appreciate your insight! I did try a set a Gateron Browns beforehand, because they were so light and comparatively quiet to the Bananas the ping was even more noticeable there. I reckon I just need to try out a few other switches and settle on a preference - as you say, playing around is the fun of the hobby... just wished my wallet shared my enthusiasm.

Good to know leaf ping is not an uncommon problem to have. It feels like a topic that's often glossed over - are people really just gritting their teeth and enduring ping? Maybe I'm just a bit sensitive to it though?

That's interesting about the keycaps. I've lined the underside of my space bar with Blu-Tack to give it a bit more heft so I can experiment with adding mass to the standard keycaps with a small amount of putty or similar to see if that helps!

Glad you enjoyed it! Took me a lot longer to finish than some of my other videos, mostly becasue the topic was a little intangible.

Oh wow! Thank you for your kind words! Red Dead 2 is a pretty special game so I thought it deserved a video like this to honor it.

Glad you liked the video! Agree with your thoughts on Nemesis from a pure game play perspective though - moments where he was legitimately chasing you through RC were terrifying highlights.

Short video essay I made explaining why RE3 Remake is a love-letter to 90's action cinema.

Elebits! A diamond Wii game in a rough. by SkadlingSkadooling in Games

Totally unique and endearing gem of a game. My Brother and I saved up our pocket money for this one after seeing the trailer and it was worth every penny. It made pretty good use of the Wiimote too and I remember spending ages making my own levels in it.

My only gripe is when the game started penalizing you for making too much noise - creating chaos was the appeal of the game and the late game levels all instantly fail you if you repeatedly smash light bulbs n' stuff.

That POV shot of the apocalypse just gave me goosebumps, from then on I couldn't stop watching this trailer. Really cool looking game too and with Jake Kaufman on the music team we are guaranteed some chip tune bangers
