I don’t see a difference in refresh rates/high FPS. I went from a $60 60hz 1080p monitor to a 32” 1440p 144hz monitor and the only change I’ve noticed is the insanely better image quality. I also have a 300hz screen on my laptop. I can tell no difference between them in terms of refresh rates and smoothness. 
Even using my old 60hz one again, the refresh rate is completely normal looking to me. Though I do notice tearing and stuttering on any of the screens.

So today I joined the mechanical keyboard community by building my own. Gotta say it was a fun project after I figured out how to assemble it. Had some trouble fitting the metal plate to the PCB and also the stabilizers were a bit of a hassle, but I think we're good now. So this is an aluminum brown case which is nice and sturdy and under the hood there are Kailh Box Pink switches which so far I like a lot. The keycaps are offbrand but maybe in the future i'll change them and also mod it in the future. For now I'm excited to learn all the ins and outs of the functions since it's a sixty percent. Cheers. 

Ultima Underworld 1+2 Syndicate Plus Syndicate Wars are FREE right now on GOG.

IDOBAO ID87 V2 TKL Pre-Order
IDOBAO ID87s are available on Drop! 
 

 
Pre-Order Date: August 4 - August 11(?)
ETA: January 12, 2022.
 
TKL fans rejoice! It's an aluminum keeb for sub-$200! 😁
Has an acrylic butt, so it's not an all-metal, chassis, but the specs look pretty solid. 👀
A friendo tells me that IDOBAO's had fitting issues in the past, however. Also, expect some machining marks or slight imperfections here and there.
 
Product Page: IDOBAO ID87 V2 TKL from Drop.
 

 
Specs:
TKL Layout (80%) ANSI Layout Hot-Swappable PCB Kailh Hot-Swap Sockets Compatible with 3-Pin + 5-Pin Switches QMK-Compatible USB-C Connectivity Integrated Plate Mounting? (Cheatsheet) Per-Key White LEDs, RGB Underglow South-Facing LEDs Aluminum-Acrylic Chassis + Brass Weight Colors: Black, Gray, White, Red, Purple PCB-Mounted Stabilizers 🤔
Makes me think of the High-Profile Drop CTRL.
The CTRL has north-facing LEDs and plate-mounted stabilizers / switches, though.

Jessie and her favorite toy

Jessie Chilling Tips

She fully recovered from the Surgery at this point.

More 99% Isopropanol Alcohol for the PS3 Restoration Project and in general it's just amazing for cleaning:

Akwox Cherry MX Key Switch Tester with Cherry MX: Red, Black, Grey, Brown, Silver, White, Clear aka Speed, Blue and Green. I bought this to help me determine which Switch I like the most because I'm looking to buy something like a Roccat Sova Couch/Bed Gaming Solution Lapdog like @CerealExperimentsLain just did:

Good mail day

Just heard the news that Jessie survived the Surgery and is doing well.

Was able to save so much money on these amazing games which I wanted for like ever. Steam Summer Sale was totally worth it for me this time:

My New 3DS XL stylus finally came!
Stylus:
3DS without stylus
3DS with stylus
It doesn't quite match my 3DS as the 3DS is grayish reflective and the stylus is just plain black but I don't care. I'm happy that there isn't a hole in my 3DS anymore.

Inside the Unit: Here we have the HEPA filter with Carbon layered with a sheet of active coal to kill up to 99.95% of all particles.



Was able to buy the Dyson at a Discount for just 299 CHF instead of 570 CHF.

Saw this one on a bike around town today. I think it's abandoned, it weight almost nothing and felt like skin and bones, but it's so cute!
 

Meet Milo. I found this little guy nine months ago one morning in the center concrete median of a busy four lane highway. A little beat up, but alive. I suspect he got up in a car during the night and fell out on the highway. He has since grown up to a beautiful companion. I'm told he is of the Snowshoe breed and a very expensive cat.
 

The IBM 5576-C01 from 1994. A Japanese-exclusive Model M-based keyboard that to my knowledge was made specifically for a single system - IBM PS/55E, an all-in-one PC. It’s most likely the rarest TrackPoint keyboard IBM made.
 
An interesting fact is that its moulds were used to later produce the Unicomp EnduraPro (pictured below as the black keyboard on the right), Ultra Classic and SpaceSaver M keyboards. The most notable feature is perhaps its large rotating stand. It can be used to park the keyboard on its back well, I’m guessing to allow you to increase space on your desk as needed. It’s cool, though. Very cool!
