Thanks, I found it on Mastodon and couldn't find the original source

Np lol, don't think I could have found it if I looked myself, and hadn't seen it before. What would I search? "Massive fuck all keyboard"? I'd assume I'd get quite a list of results rivaling the keyboard itself in size.

Sorry if my previous comment sounded rude, re-reading it made it sound like I was chastising you. Apologies for that.

You definitely don't need to apologise. I am only happy you provided the source, what a gold mine of a channel!

Holy shit how have I never seen this guy before?? His channel is so up my alley

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I came across his channel when he was shouted out by another one, think it was Gamers Nexus

10/10 would subscribe again

Answer in progress was where I first came across him

I really loved that channel when it was just the one hilarious girl doing it but I fell off around the ice baths episode. Felt like I didn't know what the channel was about anymore, kinda like when Reply All shifted

They have all been involved since the beginning afaik, but the others didn't make videos in the beginning. It's always been an exploration of various things rather than being a specific topic. The best way I would describe it is scientific method the channel but that's not entirely accurate, it's like the journey is the destination, of going through the motions of accomplishing whatever task they set out to do in the beginning of the video.

(Basing this on what they have described in other videos when talking about their history)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fair enough. Maybe I just don't love the topics the other two choose to present.

Ethan Iverson has a pretty interesting article about jazz pianists and how their individual styles changed (or didn't) over the course of their careers, and he noted that IIRC many pianists whose technique was mainly finger-focused had a significant shift in style later in life versus pianists whose technique involved more arm movement.

Love this guy

His "cancel keyboard" is my personal fave (each button tweets something that'll cancel you), dudes funny as hell

I just need switches strong enough a cat can't activate them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you trying to upset the fucking balance of the universe?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just imagine having to pound the keyboard with closed fists.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm the heavyweight MonkeyType champion

Unbelievably fucking sexy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

American sized keyboard

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Pretty small...

God forbid you link the creator and get them paid.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I realise I should have done it earlier when @[email protected] said it but I thought that it was in the comments now anyway. Either way, I have linked the source.
