Sad to see you go E, but I completely respect your decision. Thanks for all of your efforts and dedication to the online communities I've been fortunate to be a part of, and best of luck wherever you find yourself in the future!

Oh very cool. I didn't get a good sense of depth of the case until looking at their website, that's interesting for sure. What switches did you go with? The two mixed cap sets explains the unique color layout, but the colors work well together, I didn't expect that to be the case.

Interesting color layout on the keycaps lol. Not my style at all but certainly doesn't look bad. What are the full specs on the board?

What keycap set is that exactly? Reminds me a lot of GMMK Nautilus but it doesn't quite match.

Added! Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for putting that together! I'm still very interested in this board, but there's a minor thing that's now holding me back: I can't stand keyboards that don't have a print screen key lol. I love 1800/98% layouts, but I prefer them to fill that top right corner with some combination of Del + PrtSc + anything else they can fit. I also aesthetically prefer fully integrated arrow keys, but functionally, having that block a little spaced out would be good. Sometimes I hit Num 0 instead of the right arrow lol. Still not wild about linears, but those sound so good, and hell, I'm open to trying new stuff. I REALLY don't need another keyboard, but man that's a really good price for something fully put together.

Very cool! Definitely a few switches in there I've never even heard of. Any others in particular stand out?

Added under your name! Added! That's a cool artisan, subtle but really nice. Does it "shimmer" at different lighting angles?

Thanks, updated!

Looks good, what caps? Great shade of orange. I can update the sheet with that info and pic.

Nice, how'd you do it? I've got a couple little dents on my VW's hood from brushing a deer a while back that I've been meaning to address. I got REALLY lucky with that one.

Updated! Added! Super cool little collection you have there, really unique stuff. Likewise, I'm not familiar with any of those boards, switches, or cap sets. Always been curious about a layout like the Nico has, looks really cool but I feel like it'd take a lot of unlearning and relearning for me to get used to.

Added! Great to hear, now I definitely want one too haha.

Thanks for the tips! I've been close to looking for some since my runs mostly fizzle out at ante 5 or 6 at the latest in a really unsatisfying and often frustrating way, a surprising number of times less than a thousand off the target. I'd figured some of these over time but a few of these are good to know with your longer term experience. I haven't relied too much on adding cards to my deck since I feel like that's a fairly inconsistent way to go about things, but maybe I don't have faith that my run will last long enough to give me time to put together a better deck lol. So I typically invest heavily in two pair hands and sometimes flushes, and otherwise make small tweaks around the jokers I happen to get. I'll try the approach of tailoring a deck to 4 of a kind hands over time, that sounds interesting. Ironically I've gotten far more straights than 4 of a kind hands, but I think your argument makes a lot of sense. Good notes on card enhancements as well. I had similar feelings lol. I was introduced to Balatro by a friend who streamed himself playing it over Discord, and he said, "Oh you'll love this game, you like poker and rogue-likes (which is true) so you'll love this." My first comment within 20 seconds was, "this isn't really poker at all, is it" but it was still really intriguing so I picked it up on GMG and don't regret it.

Yeah I'm absolutely sick of the lug bolts on my Alltrack. Been taking wheels on and off on it for years and I've developed a bit of a method in which I can shuffle the tire out of the wheel well on top of one of my feet but it still sucks. I've been really tempted to buy a stud conversion kit for a long time now but it feels hard to justify the price.
