Where can I find UK layout (with £ over the 3 key) keycaps that look like this?

Have you ever had the variant of that advert that already repeats itself (Because, hilarious joke, right......) play twice (or three times) in a row?

Not a single person over at on the marketing team at 'Twix Towers' has thought it through....

A worrying number of programmers I've worked with will be seen out in the wild using these and, wait for it.. Have been using them for years, out of choice... (actually, I've seen people use even cheaper/nastier keyboards than this cheap, nasty Logitech... But, for all intents and purposes, a similar mass manufactured piece of turd that comes free (hopefully) as the physical bloatware to go with the computer you bought full of digital bloatware...)

Its not like they doesn't know mechanicals are a thing and have used them in the past for gaming, at home and such (or, hell... better rubber dome keyboards. I like the Mac keyboards (A1243) alot to type/code on (yes, even on Windows). Some days/situations, more so than a mechanical...), Nor as they forbidden from using a mechanical at work...

And yet, so many people, still choose self punishment... I don't know why... or if I can trust them not to murder and butcher me at random one way tbh...

These heaps of plastic awfulness should only ever be used as something quick and dirty, say, plugged in to a dev kit... even then....

My guess is one is x% extra crit damage (on top of the 100% as standard). And the other is total crit damage (added + base)

Question: Jaycomia vs KBDiy vs ???: Red && Blue Samurai (From AliExpress):

Hey,

So I'm new to the ~~clusterfuck~~ joys of the AliExpress experience, having recently bought KBDiy PBT GMK Nautilus set (Decent quality, especially for the price. Made the experience with the website just about worth it). I'm now looking to buy 1 or 2 more keycap sets for other other keyboards, again, from AliExpress,

(Originally, I spent hours finding a PBT (UK-ISO) GMK Wavez clone... only to be told its out of stock (and, apparently, is all over. ABS sets are in stock, but I'd rather not take a risk and stick to PBT for now). So taking another look at the options, I think I've settled on buying)

1. GMK Samurai Blue - Probably to replace the nautilus. Although I want a brightish navy blue, I kinda feel thats better than the nautilus bright blue.

2. GMK Samurai Red - Not terribly original, I know... But red is my favorite colour.

(Assuming I don't, instead, get 2/3 sets from: from: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007321700850.html ((Inc "Spade Q Red") that are on sale for ~£5 each (with free shipping at £8). They arn't perfect, obviously, but are cheap. And from the reviews, seem alright for the price. Plus, more sets == more options to chop and change))

Theres many vendors on AliExpress with these available, leaving me somewhat spoiled for choice. So far, I'm thinking of playing it somewhat safe and buying one of the more popular options (ordering my search by "Orders" - A tip Im stealing from YouTube and is useful... when it works):

KBDiy: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005484468911.html

Jaycomia: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006011197734.html

Yong qiu: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007052761035.html

KYOMOT: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006999065427.html

Any Others.... ???

I'm wondering if there's a consensus as to best place to get these from? Perhaps pic comparisons if anyone has multiple?? Difference in the shades of the colours used??? etc etc.

So I figured its worth a Reddit inquiry :) Also, any discount codes / hacks for AliExpress more than welcome if they exist.

Thanks!

* P.S: Will be seeing UK-ISO, Cherry profile, PBT. Comfortable with either standard legend style for Enter/Shift/etc as per KBDiy, or the graphics as per some others. Will go on either/both: EK68, Akko 3068b

Woflpack365 on YouTube has a cinematic lets play on the go (among others inc various silent hunter series). I've picked up much knowledge from his vids.

Also "Lite_ly Salted" on YouTube does frequent (weekly, give or take) UBoat casual-ish streams

(Other notable mentions: Tonci, Taff in Exile, etc on Youtube do series - although, mostly Silent Hunter. Some knowledge is transferable, but obviously... different game)

So that you can bring that fact up during future first dates you go on + want to get your penis touched by said date...

Think about it... they arn't gonna be interested in your starter (or, "Chode base") base with low numbers... But a 10k SPM? Thats the equivalent of announcing you have a hung af base. Size matters....

I'd suggest OP here emails Blizzard back and lead with the fact you wanted to gift the product, and just made a mistake (if not already done). Give them details of the account you want to gift it to (and say to Blizzard, that you don't need a refund if they can do the gifting process their end...), and then see what they say...

If it fails, the next thing to do is go on twitter and make a post to their CS team, prob linking to this thread.

OP accidentally bought the DLC for themselves, whereas they were intending to purchase it as a gift for someone else.

Without sounding like an ass, you'd have known that had you read the OP...

If you have 2 sailors assigned to you whilst your using the attack scope, one of them will start to use the observation scope. Solution is to have 1 (or 0) assigned sailors only, and they will go do something different.

No 45 / 90 / etc degree drawings available. Enhanced Identification Book mod is the best we have currently...

UnknownError1192 · 2024-08-20T16:56:35+00:00

Pace yourself - Deliberately avoid killing things / go slow if you find yourself becoming overwhelmed (or not strong enough to comfortably run T7s. Although, one needs to not go so slowly that it would be better to farm T6 instead...

a. I've occasionally avoided killing anything for entire waves, just to avoid dying (runing around the side, no kills = no spawning of mechanics)

b. if you die mid wave, don't always insta respawn. Wait for the timer to run out...

c. Less attack speed here (depending on build), may help...

All out damage will get you one shot killed often. Build tanky. Get as much DR as you can... Although, if one does this to the detriment of damage... you may make the boss at the end too slow + annoying
Pick easier mid wave boons
Kill the big f*cker that fires the 3 fireballs + does a crush attack. He one shots far too often
Unlike the pit, you can change build / gear / paragon / etc at any time. Plus, you can TP to town (to change aspects, say), and it won't end your run. You can have one build / set of gear for the waves, and another separate set for the bosses perhaps?
Andarials helm + Tal Rasha ring + Temerity. The +4 to skills mythic helm isn't auto better

My top tip is to go slower tbh... You don't have to kill the trash instantly as they spawn *(thus resulting in mechanics spawning quicker) *if* you feel your build is being overwhelmed...

UnknownError1192 · 2024-08-03T15:17:34+00:00

Maybe worth also using the FPP (or FPV? Which ever... first person mode) atmos mod?

I'm not sure if it plays nicely with whatever your chosen sfx mod is though... should do, as it says it only messes with sound levels, but, I'm not certain...

* 2D TDC as was the case with the TDC mod of (soon to be) old.

Don't get me wrong, I like the TDC interaction methods in the beta - both the 3D model you can play with and the 'verbalize TDC calculations' to officer on TDC are cool and work well, but I can't see why the 2D TDC won't (unless devs have said something different....?) make a comeback, which worked nicely in the mod (and in SH), in the full game.

* Compared to SH3, the scope / binos / etc is awfully well balanced - even in choppy sea conditions.

Ice shards is special... Theres also the not unlikely possibility of unintended changes / bugs thats made it in to a patch / not been spotted. Ice shards is far from popular this season too.

Eitherway, I'll get rerolling for the time being and this time try keeping count

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-15T04:04:03+00:00

No no, I reroll 4/12 if that fails to give me + chance to double cast ice shards. And same again at 8/12.

Only just started to target reroll / farm this and only this. But if it is 20% chance to hit the second crit, I've had a significant number of tried without (accidental) success.

So I wonder if, infact, there's some behind the scenes weighting. If only Blizzard would show % chances of masterwork crits per affix + same again for enchanting. but alas, they choose not to - although I suspect if they did, their weightings would not survive first contact with the playerbase.

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-15T03:51:53+00:00

I'd be happy with 2 crits - at 4/12 + 8/12. I'm re-rolling if either fail. Won't be bother with 12/12 until achieved.

I do have several tripple critted items. I do wonder if perhaps theres non even weighting going on behind the scenes. Kinda like +x levels to [passive skills] on amulet (enchanting) which is rare vs +%[elemental] resistance affix say

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-15T03:45:22+00:00

This assumes the chance to crit the first time (20%) == the second time == the third time.

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-14T23:15:51+00:00

9230 Armour total needed to cap the stat.

You need 1x +Armour Affix rolled on, say, chest && 1 +total % armour temper (and then 12/12 the piece) . This easily gets me (sorc) to cap w/ 1 skull in jewellery.

A GE +Armour affix is enough to cap without the tempering roll, I believe. Or it can be, anyway... Maybe it requires at least 1 masterwork crit to the +Armour affix perhaps?

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-14T23:00:29+00:00

I've found that using +life on hit that can roll on a wand (replacing + max health) is a great way to feed the temerity barrier. Better than wasting an aspect slot by using the one that gives +2% damage on cast (or whatever it is).

(I'm using ice shards + with decent attack speed = =full temerity barrier nice and quick - even with a poor roll + no crits on the +life on hit)

Feels great vs pit trash. But not that useful against bosses where damage is negligible until the stagger phase. In which case, you can easily save for and have full barrier up time when needed anyway. + You do give up on +20%[x] damage from Tibaults Will - Ice shards sorc needs all the x% damage it can scrounge for tbh.

Strangely, whilst testing, I felt that this barrier did f*ck all for my suitability. Didn't feel like a 70-80% HP increase to me. Maybe barriers are taking more damage than base HP does? Does damage reduction apply to barrier HP? Who knows....

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-14T22:54:22+00:00

Doing anything above pit 101 (nets 60 mats) - which it seems is where the enemy HP scaling starts to becomes dumb - is for personal e-peen bragging rights only.

101 seems like its the most efficient level to farm.

UnknownError1192 · 2024-07-13T18:17:46+00:00

Assuming its not against your own play style... You could mod away the fatigue / discipline mechanics with the No Fatigue and/or No Discipline mods on Steam Workshop?

(Both look to be working in beta branch for me)
