I just did this with an RX7900TX and everything worked fine and I decided to install my normal updates. And then my PC wouldn’t boot. After hours of “fun”, it turns out that the issue had nothing to do with the GPU swap and all. Tons of fun!
Weirdly, I feel like Topre are almost designed to encourage and cushion a bottom out. The membrane dome collapses really high in the press and then you get bounced back up by the conic springs underneath. It doesn’t do it for me, but some people love it.
Ok, I see where you’re going now, but I’m still not sure I agree with you here overall for the genre.
I think the “add tactics” thing is already done to a degree in these games as early enemies in these games tend to be dead simple since players like likely still acclimating to the game, but I suspect that there is only so much you can do before you end up turning later enemies into some sort of frustrating puzzle. Diablo-likes, for better or worse, aren’t generally mind bending affairs, high skill ceiling affairs.
There is definitely room in the genre for more tactical, skill dependent entries, but I not sure the end result would be as fun for most people as that would be a fundamentally different type game. Hey, maybe I am wrong and this would lead to some sort of souls-like Diablo game where skill and learning are all that matters and items and character building are far less important. Come to think of it, that sounds a lot like Hades in a way.
Your desire to dumb down diablo-likes is your own and I hate it. PoE and Grim Dawn are about the only games like this that I have truly enjoyed in a long time. Blizzard ruined Diablo and WoW with this bullshit take.
It’s firmly “OK”, though I was never a big Topre fan. It was amazing for the price and it is better when you remove the o-rings that are meant to dampen the sound. Once the dampers are out it and you replace the caps (uses standard MX caps), the 55G version feels like a slightly better version of the old Cooler Master Novatouch 45g. It is also backlit with RGB, which wasn’t a thing for Topre boards at that point. I’m actually curious if the RGB Topre membranes feels just like the ones used by the RK.
It depends on which Royal Kludge keyboard you have. They make some that are typical mechanical boards (usually a cheaper Cherry MX based switch) and some that are EC Topre clones. If its the former, then you would probably need to take it apart and desolder the switches since I don’t believe they made any that were hotswappable. If its the latter type, then you can pretty easily fully disassemble it and see if maybe something is up with the stems or conic springs under the membrane. Note: for the EC type, be careful when taking it apart and there is a good chance those springs will explode out like confetti and ruin your day. I learned this the hard way.
Minor correction: You can’t say no because they intentionally almost never give you “no” as an option. It generally is “Ask again later” instead, when you clearly never want them to ask again, just like you didn’t want to be asked the first time.
I am almost certain that steam keys are actually free to developers, which is the whole reason for the policy.
The layout is 100% the reason I didn’t like my F AT until I modded it. My F XT has a better layout, but it was always such a chore trying to get my home made Soarer’s converter to work right. The F77 layout is great, and thanks to the preproductions it’s actually attainable. I also got one of the new TKL layout Model Fs, but it only came in the “compact” case style (which makes sense as they was no original), and it just isn’t as nice to use as the OG style zinc case.
I’d get one of the beamsprings as well, but they are just so ridiculously thick and bulky that I don’t think it would work for me.
No, I have two of the reproductions and they are great IMO. I heavily prefer them over any of my Model Ms or OG Model Fs.
Both Unicomp and modelfkeyboards.com are highly recommended.
The Model Fs are far superior to the Model M. I own several original and reproductions, though I don’t own the F60 “Kishsaver” as I like having my nav cluster.
I’m always impressed by people using these incredibly small keyboards. I’ve never been able to get accustomed to using anything lower than 68% for a daily driver.
I know it should be obvious and maybe I missed the sarcasm, but the teaspoon unit is in no way the same as an actual teaspoon utensil. I also don’t use my own feet to measure length.
That’s actually very much my kind of font, thanks a lot. At first glace I still prefer my current font (Liberation Mono), but I’ll give it a test run and see how it feels after a couple of weeks. You can never tell right away if a font is a keeper.
I’ve used it in the past, thanks for reminding me of it though.
I remember these when they came out, and I liked Neon and Krypton the most. I’m glad you linked it so others might get to see it though, thanks!
I don’t love it, but I also went in hoping for a possible new monospaced font to try out. It’s nice to have options and maybe give Suse a slightly more distinct look I suppose.
I just replaced my 3070 with a RX 7900XT and it was a very noticeable difference in performance. It doesn’t help that my primary display is 3840x1600 though. The 3070 was never particularly great for that res.
