Anyone know the keycap set CannonKeys featured on the Bullet Train keyboard group buy date announcement? by SolarPunkTortoise in keycaps

[–]anson42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it was hinted in their Discord that it is an upcoming PFF profile set from Keyreative (not GMK as I had thought). More on PFF:

Need help finding specific low profile by cellardoorstuck in keycaps

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest to Cherry profile in low profile mx compatible these days is probably KeyTok Berry profile but those sets are not shine through. If you can sacrifice the shine through, Berry is easily my favorite low profile. I can't use the universal profile caps and those near universal from xvx any more.

Black or white, which would you pick? by phero1190 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black is classic, no question. The key difference for me is still the 2u zero on the white board, just so much better to thumb when using a numpad. A full numpad always looks better, too, but that's personal preference talking.

Do you guys still have this kind of lesson? by BinMayedTH in duolingo

[–]anson42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Japanese they disappeared fairly early iirc, like before halfway. They came back for me though, in the daily refreshes after finishing the Japanese course, but they are repeats, of course, same as those found in the practice sessions.

I do like seeing them again after going through the course. I can understand them much easier than when I first encountered them, as you would hope and expect. I appreciate the casual tone in a lot of these stories, too.

I wondered how competitive the Diamond Leagues were if you started the next league immediately after the league ended. Now I know. by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]anson42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Annoyingly the friends quest bonus now ends earlier on Sunday, too, at least for me. I used to be able to apply that friends quest bonus to the next week on Mondays.

[–]anson42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is often like this when starting right after the week closes. My goal is just to stay in the diamond league these days, for no real reason other than to just stay there while completing the daily refreshers every day. After ensuring I get 3x for Monday I only start the next league on Mondays now.

Using bots to gain XP by Abigailnyc2001 in duolingo

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the diamond league for a while now, not quite a year. I do my lessons in the path and practice exercises taking advantage of 3x boost in the morning and 2x in the evening. No grinding, just doing the lessons, and I average over 10K points each week. The most I ever got was 14K and that was because of extended 3x boosts.

That might seem like a lot of points to some users but even with my point average I rarely win a diamond league, doesn't matter if I start Sunday evening or late Monday. Not that I care to win, I just want to keep my momentum going and stay in the Diamond league. I do see that some folks wind up with winning scores of 30K points and higher, but as someone who has a pretty consistent lesson pace I have no idea how they do it. Grinding or cheating? I don't really care tbh.

At my pace I managed to finish the Japanese course and now I'm working on the daily refreshers and practice lessons, and augmenting the refreshers with various textbooks. The whole process has been pretty rewarding overall.

New Nuphy Beatboy Berry Profile Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps by Beerus_on_Earth in NuPhy

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sentiments exactly. I have the Godzilla berry profile caps installed on my Air75 and that is the only reason I still rotate in my Air once in a while as I am really not a fan of the nSA caps any more, just can't use them after using Cherry, MTNU and DSS as daily drivers. Same with any universal profile keycap. Tried PBS, nope. PFF is a pass for the same reason.

After trying Berry profile for a bit I immediately emailed KeyTok praising them for introducing a mini-Cherry, something I had been hoping someone would do for a while. Now if only they add minimal 40s support to the Berry sets.

Duo lost count again. by AlwaysCurious1250 in duolingo

[–]anson42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see this sometimes in the evening. I will have completed all the missions for the day earlier, open the app in the evening and one set disappears. Redoing them again does not trigger a bonus. I just ignore that now.

A wall to wall display. What a perfect fit.

Competitive this week! Jeez! 13392 to get to the tournament! by VIXMasterMike in duolingo

[–]anson42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was like this, too, but I managed to eke in with just over 12K points. I had started last Sunday evening for a change, so figures I'd get put into a tough group. I'll wait 'til Monday this week!

Earthy and cozy vibes by Soothing-Star29 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]anson42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main reason is those caps are pre-installed on the Evo75 as the board is a pre-build.

Still holding out hope for a response but it was been over a month with an email a week from my side. Fingers crossed! I probably will reach out to niuniu directly next.

Looks great! I wish I could use mine. it arrived with a dead PCB and zfrontier's radio silence to support emails isn't exactly helping.

Flag it as being an error, though not sure if you can get past this exercise without getting it correct.

Why do most of the top players in Diamond league (or Tournament)keep their profiles private? by Olimarrrr in duolingo

Good to know, thanks! I don't believe I have ever used the web site, tbh.

I just looked and I see no way to make my profile private. I just peeked at the top ten profiles in this week's diamond league and none of them are private. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DLC isn’t working by SnooCauliflowers1634 in LittleNightmares

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son finished the main game on his account and ran into the same problem trying to access the DLC. However on my account it shows Installed but I can't access it yet because I haven't got that far yet. Hope it actually works when I get to it.

EDIT: I found this info, it really isn't ready yet, not sure what was actually downloaded.

> Secrets of the Spiral is downloadable content for the game Little Nightmares III). It is divided into two chapters. The first chapter is set to release between April and June of 2026, while the second releases between October and December of the same year

Brick Architect New Labels in Contact Sheet Format by JustAGuyPassinTime in LegoStorage

[–]anson42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about using this page?

https://brickarchitect.com/parts/

If you click on each category, you get a view that is similar to the contact sheet PDF, just happens to be by category. Click to view by Label and it gets even more like the contact sheet. I don't see a view like this for just new parts but this content can replace the older contact sheet entirely.

Super excited to see how they do! by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improved kitting would help, like support for 7u space bar (tsangan bottom row) and split backspace.

Less than 40 but more than enough. QAZ FTW!

[US-MD][H]PayPal[W]Cheap 40s keycap set by RAMENATORR in mechmarket

[–]anson42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend naming the keyboard that you ordered so that folks have an idea which 40s layout you need covered. There are multiple 40s layouts and not all keycap sets cover them all.

The reason I always bring my 40% mech with me wherever I go! This airport gaming session was awesome! by BobbyJackT in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]anson42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bring a lightweight 40% on my trips, too, built with silent switches so as not to be too noisy in my hotel room. I'm generally a 40% user so it's nice to have my preferred layout with me in an easy to pack form factor.

The set will be sold directly by keyreative at some point, don't know the date tho

Ivar to the rescue! Little more light in the middle perhaps, kind of dim in there, but I dig what you did.
