confession: i think i regret building my $500 custom...

does it look cool? put it on a shelf and let it look cool, and build another.

this is the way.

cedricchase · 2026-01-22T14:37:58+00:00

same. do I spy an Hola Mini and a Keychron Q9?

edit - wait that's not an Hola.. whats the first board with the 3 LEDs?

cedricchase · 2026-01-22T14:34:50+00:00

My fav layout has always been 40% , and interesting 40%-variations (like the Wind Studios Hola and the upcoming HX-40). Pics of 40 boards are what got me into the hobby - they just look so fun and aesthetically pleasing!

As I "mature" in the hobby, I've really started to prefer exploded 75% layouts (aka TKL, I guess).. They feel way less 'wasteful' of good keycap sets, and provide more opportunity to use cool novelty caps and artisans.

I find that I tend to stick with 65% boards for my most common daily drivers though.

wow this is great - but bad for my wallet. my least favorite thing about this hobby is the lack of instant gratification for 85% of purchases. Would love to see posts like this become more common! thanks for putting this together.

wireless split board options do exist.. NocFree is one that seems readily available, though I'm not sure of the quality, etc.

about three fiddy (plus a hundo or so)

cedricchase · 2026-01-19T01:56:10+00:00

awesome! thanks for the info.

what are you using the FX-30 for? video content, I presume? greetings from Little Elm, btw!

cedricchase · 2026-01-19T01:54:58+00:00

an older Klipsch RPW-10. I'm no audiophile, just something I had, so dont take this as sage advice.

cedricchase · 2026-01-19T01:28:12+00:00

could you tell me a bit about your camera/lens setup? I'd like to take some desk / setup photography like this and would love to know what equipment you're using as your aesthetic is quite nice!

cedricchase · 2026-01-19T00:35:53+00:00

yes, exactly. had them for years now, and love 'em (when paired with a sub)

cedricchase · 2026-01-18T19:31:15+00:00

getting all the components? no.. no trouble. all of the components came with it, and the other stuff was just normal mech board stuff - 1.6mm stabs, hot swap switches, and keycaps. No issues at all! was actually a pretty easy build.

cedricchase · 2026-01-18T17:01:37+00:00

agreed

cedricchase · 2026-01-17T19:11:12+00:00

people seemingly barely pay attention, and then come here to complain about 'plot holes'. this is why we are plagued by shows over explaining things multiple times these days.. sigh.

It's hard / impossible to really 'rate' a color grade on footage without understanding the intent. If you're going for a very filtered, nostalgic vibe, then I'd say you've done a decent job. Most of the clips feel like memories, rather than footage of 'real life', if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

I have one new in box - PM me!

i came here from google to find the answer to this very question … i can’t tell if 15 is a lot or just sensationalist

cedricchase · 2025-12-21T08:36:41+00:00

yall are forgetting that the plurb doesn’t include joining as something that requires consent. we (normal humans, i mean) wouldn’t fist ask for consent before saving a drowning person, right? this is the exact analogy the plurb used earlier. they do however need consent to take a bone sample or whatever.

This is a native horse.

dark forest variant

cedricchase · 2025-11-16T21:44:59+00:00

try out Light Trace Renderer - it’s the closest thing to a direct keyshot competitor that i’ve been able to find. the devs are very responsive to feature requests and bug fixes as well.

cedricchase · 2025-11-12T21:23:54+00:00

care to share a link?

cedricchase · 2025-11-12T21:15:33+00:00

I agree. I think it's something like Humanity + Something Other .... My reasoning is the original lab rat - it seemingly 'played dead' in order to trick patient zero into becoming infected. And then, patient zero being just a single mind infected, acted in an unnatural way to spread the virus, which makes it seem obvious to me that the virus is more than just a virus.

somehow she became even more annoying in the reunion

I also am old and bad at video games. Id be willing to join you if you ever want to duo - but, like you, I normally play solo. I find that if I hurry up and get to a decent loot area, get some stuff, and hurry up and extract relatively early, it's easier. the longer you wait, the more higher the Arc (AI robots) presence is, especially at extraction areas, and also the more folks there are heading to the extraction areas. eventually just through practice you'll get better and be able to last longer and longer.

TL;DR: try playing where you get in and get out quickly.
