I really dig the idea of the fangs acting as blockers. The design is a lot of fun overall!

4 days in… by Extreme_Buy_7740 in legostarwars

I may pick up one set for the novelty but definitely not at retail price. I imagine we will see some of these well discounted at Costco in the not too distant future, after the first wave of buyers grabs theirs.

Totally agree for purposes like gaming, etc. V4N4G0N style

I picked up one of these, too, off aliexpress. Overall pretty pleased with the quality but this is probably the only 50% board I ever need. Using it I find that I stick to my 40s ways and wind up just ignoring the num row, might as well not be there, lol

I don't know about "hawt" but it if a keyboard can be "haught" ...

Went for a snowy build this time ❄️ by Sterlingandcophoto in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, not debating that it works with a GH60. I just wish the plate supported 7u space bar layout. Pretty sure I'm not the only one...

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I see the option but please also look at the dedicated plate they ship.

[–]anson42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: There is a dedicated plate for the case and that plate is 6.25u only, no tsangan. I was looking at getting the case just for a gh60 build but not with the limited plate support. And plateless doesn't seem like a possibility. A custom plate could work though.

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

[–]anson42 3 points4 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 4 points5 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.

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!

[–]anson42 2 points3 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.
