TIL Korean and Brazilian power plugs look quite similar to European power plug. Distinguishing factors? Korean plug has thicker pins than the others. The difference between the Brazilian and (mainland) Europe plug? The European plugs have pins that bend slightly inward.

Yes, they bend ever so slightly inward... And I thought I had just mutilated some of my wall plug devices, which is why they were bend inwards.. No, that's the design!!

Why did no one ever tell me this!?

 

In other news, looks like my PC is not adequate for recording gameplay through conventional OBS means.

Recording fully lossless works fine though, just leaves me with files that are 120MB per second.. So gotta get me a reliable fast SSD I guess.

 

Also, life is exhausting and I am using shiny Pokemon to keep myself somewhat happy for seconds after finding one. Yeyeah!

    I'll be honest having been living in Belgium since I was 4, I've yet to encounter the bent-inwards design. In my experience tho, all of the round-pin ones are mostly inter-compatible. At least in one direction.

    Russian stuff will fit into all EU stuff, tho some EU stuff will be too thick for some Russian plugs.

    I have noticed this on my 3DS and phone charger and now that I know this, on more of my Type C plugs too.

    It's just such a minute thing, without knowing it you wouldn't see it :P
