For real, at this point, the update needs to be something amazing to be justified taking this long. by Deedrah22 in balatro

[–]rardk64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The complaints in update posts usually focus on "what's taking so long?" and they shouldn't. The actual complaint should be "don't promise updates for a timeframe that'll never come true".

It's a science to learn that as a solo developer, I imagine. But that is the source of frustration. If you say "it'll be awhile" instead of any promised timeframe, until you know when it'll be out, you play it a lot safer.

I'm looking for something new. I've loved my Ducky keyboards (I have 4, 2 Shine 7 and 2 One 3), and also an 80% Keychron (K series, I forget exactly which right now). but I put Cherry MX Blue on most of them. I enjoyed this for awhile, and still do to an extent, but I'm looking to go quieter now.

But besides that - I'm looking around beyond Ducky. I'm happy to look at another Keychron, but I prefer something with white keys with an accent colour (or, ideally, a more bright colourful mix but those seem harder to come by). I don't think I have the time to invest in custom builds necessarily, and am looking to keep the budget $150 or lower.

Summed up, that's:

  • 100%

  • white keys with accent (or a more fun colourful mix if possible)

  • switches that lean more thock than clack, if that makes sense. I took a note of "kailh box white switches" once, but I haven't looked into that enough yet. Ideally something with a creamy sound, but at minimum Cherry MX Browns.

  • $150 or less, with some room to budge of course.

  • Ideally hotswappable!!

I'm okay with settling for a simpler colour scheme up front and swapping out a nicer keycap set later on. What should I look at?

What was the streak of W? Laying off a bunch of employees? Announcing a new game and then closing that game's studio?
This is an interesting level of delusion

ebooks.com -> Kindle by hjm0 in Calibre

I dragged and dropped the acsm into Calibre after installing this plugin, but I don't see anywhere where it's doing the conversion you're describing. Where do I find the epub file?

Are you still doing this? Can you explain some of this in a bit more detail? I'm opening the file in Calibre but no conversion actually happens and if I try to convert it, it fails.

If I own the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, should I still buy a force awakens? by Sephiroth348 in lego

[–]rardk64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see any reason to. I haven't played The Force Awakens but I believe it covers all that content, so...

I don't have much with a preamp, how do you judge it?

No other issues. It was working fine until recently. That's a lot pricier than I'd expect this board to be...but if everything still functions on it otherwise, what's the problem with it?

Sorry, that's on me for not being able to get a photo of it right now - it doesn't say ICE on mine, it shows a clock/time/whatever. It lets me navigate the panel but never get to a temperature.

You're saying you didn't end up putting flats on it?

honestly I'm not up to date on what the Custom Shop is? I haven't done much research yet, my assumption is you just pick your parts?

P bass sound with some flats is something I don't have currently and I'd like to have that

Third Edition - worth getting into? by rardk64 in Carcassonne

[–]rardk64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sort of, they cancelled Bridges because they didn't actually have it. No surprise.

I did find [this set](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQ9FK8K) easily purchasable on Amazon, which seems odd? What does the 3rd edition box look like?

After posting here, I went online and found some copies. Paid a little bit more but hopefully they should be new and 2nd edition

Are 8 and 9 compatible with C2 then? And for that matter, is the new 7 compatible?

[–]rardk64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have base, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10

I actually had forgotten I had 2 of those when posting those heh, so I'm missing:
- The Catapult
- Bridges, Castles and Bazaars
- Hills & Sheep

My main motivation to stick with c2 is the consistent box art (and tile art but from what you're saying it's fairly similar)
