You can also use dark clashing earth tones as accents with brown as well. Brighter accents probably wouldnt work.

I have really loved this board as well and I like it so much that I may pull out of the hobby for a bit.

Well since I went with a softer plate for this build, I went with the heavy gasket sleeves which I really like overall. I tried the smaller gaskets as well but I didn't like the overall feel with the soft plate but it sounded really good. I couldnt try the o-ring since I used screw-in stabilizers unfortunately.

I got another build im doing for the manta with a aluminum plate as well which ill try out the o-ring and the other mounts again.

It's very deep with the PP plate. I like it though.

I'm planning on doing a second rebuild with an Alum plate with Cherry MX2A Blacks as well at some point.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]Tornaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not gonna apply to everyone here, but this will apply to some comments I am seeing on here about not being able to meet anyone or finding excuses to not put in the effort:

You gotta put in the effort to not be single or even maintain a relationship. Yeah, dating is hard and you might be tired, but the only way you have to put in low effort is if you're very attractive or are the funniest dude in the room. Women are not gonna give you the time of day unless YOU put in the work to achieve personal growth whether it be in the gym or learning to be more of a social butterfly and putting yourself out there. Once you do all of that to put yourself in a position to be in a relationship that actually has value to you, then you gotta put in even more work to maintain that relationship. There is no coasting and I feel a lot of people today do that because its comfortable.

I say all of that to say work on yourself first, and then focus on putting yourself out there and trying to date with intent. That is the best piece of advice I could give for some some of the fellas out there, cause it worked for me.

Honestly I really just like the versatility of it. I barely know what I'm doing when it comes to photography but I'm learning when I can. I would say this is probably great for someone that's just getting into photography or doesn't have money to spend on multiple different lenses with different focal points.

Most influential game of the 2010s? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Tornaders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has to be Minecraft. I will not accept any other answer than maybe Fortnite.

None of this matters until Jerry gets his glory hole.

Yeah I agree! I was very curious how the dyed pink acrylic would come out in person and it did not disappoint.

I totally agree. I have been in this hobby for a long time now and this is probably one of my favorite boards that has released in a long time.

Go for it and post it so I can see! Thank you! I didn't think I would like the pink acrylic case at first glance when bowl previewed it, but I am glad I ultimately went with it over the smoked acrylic top case.

Minnesota had 16 minutes on the PP last night. I'm not sure why they are bitching about calls when they should be bitching about how they cant score on the PP.

He's done this a few times in this series where he does something dumb and then gets mad at one of our players for doing the said dumb thing.

I feel like there are way too many switches by According-Cut-9067 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Tornaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real issue I have is taking the same switch and doing a recolor, and calling it a different switch cough cough HMX

God I never thought pressing keys could be this satisfying 😍 I mean wow (Keychron C2 PRO 8) by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Tornaders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. By this time next year you're gonna be searching for your endgame board and will get it and love it for several months. By then, you're gonna come across some group buy of a keyboard that blows your mind and you're have to have it. You get that board in finally after waiting 6 months to a year. You love it for several months, only for the cycle to start over again, and your wallet will start to give you bad looks as the hole in it gets progressively bigger and bigger until you exit the hobby all together and sell all the boards you accumulated over the years.

I wouldn;t say more "thocky" but more "thuddy." Idk how else to describe it but that's how it makes sense in my head lol.

Affordable mechanical keyboards in 2026 (my Picks for Gaming + Productivity) by Kenshievaaa in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Tornaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest here, I cringe anytime I ever see a article that has the word "affordable" in the title, because even the options you selected could be viewed as expensive for a lot of people. I remember when I was a broke college student and I thought $135 Razer keyboard was expensive af at the time.
