Even disappointment is disappointing!

Not too disappointed w/ the g710+ though. It's very decent.

Clicky Switches, expected so much more  :(

Can't say i tried a topre board, but the single switch i tried wasn't too nice...then again i was hoping that i would hate it so  :blank: :blank:

All in all in my experience i haven't been disappointed with too much, so that's good  :thumb:

I did find all my loves quite early on

Clearly you're just taking in too much Electronic media...  The "average" beauty score is much lower than the "window" which you're used to looking through....

sennheiser hd650, so i returned them.

:eek:

what didn't you like about them?
i didn't think they were any better than my pc 350s. i also had an amp/dac.

it may have been the music i listen to, not the headphones themselves, but for me they weren't worth the money at all. they were also quite uncomfortable.

Those must be some damn good headphones considering the HD600/650 are consistently rated as the best headphones under $500.

They sounded a little better, but not worth the couple hundred I spent on them + the DAC + the amp. Again, it may have something to do with the music I generally listen to. Idk, I've generally been disappointed when putting money into audio. I've always thought it to be a placebo beyond a certain point. I'm perfectly happy with my cheap ass PC350s, NAD 3130 and monitor audio R252s.

I'm generalizing - it's not an Brazil specific issue.
If you are looking for exotic girls you will love Brazil 8-)

Honestly I was dissappointed in PBT, I think I just had hyped it up in my head that it would be dreamy to type on....

sometimes i envy the likes of you. you have so much yet to discover...
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

A vendor at a local Model Railroading flea market was selling a Zenith vendor/repair shop plaque for xx amount of years of service.  It looked really cool and geeky :)  I wasn't sure if I wanted it or not and kept continuing on visiting all the vendors.

By time I made it back it was gone.  I know it sounds silly but I am disappointed I never picked it up.

I get disappointed with scotches. My local store has a big selection of rare drams due to Microsoft big wigs and international clientele coming through town, and they have so may I've never tried that the adventurer in me always wants to get something untested or unseen which sometimes leads to disappointment. Like 60/40 in terms of 'YAY AMAZING DISCOVERY' and 'this tastes like oily rubber and sea water'

Also, The Amazing Spiderman #300: first appearance of Venom. I don't collect comics anymore but have always loved Venom and the strives that Marvel took to capitalize on his popularity by turning a cannibalistic murderer into an anti-hero, so a while back I went out and bought issue #300 for almost $300 that sits in it's stupid CGC grading case where I can't touch or read it. I've grown to resent it over the past few years, sitting in a box somewhere being useless.

Not sure why, but microwave noodle bowls are never disappointing to me even though I feel like they should be. Sorry you left it at home!

The biggest disappointment that I can think of like that was in college when a friend and I found Moonpies in a store and reminisced that we had both loved them as kids. We ended up buying a couple and eating them and realizing that our childhood tastebuds were totally off the mark. From that point on we referred to things that we used to love, but that turn out to be disappointments as "Moonpies".

On a less off topic note, I went to Microcenter today to try MX blue and brown switches - expecting to really like the blues (I've been either typing on a Model M or Cherry blacks). I was totally underwhelmed. I think starting with the IBM keyboards was bad. I want the feeling of the Model F on a modern keyboard. I'm even thinking about picking up a different mouse or a separate key pad to map the missing mac/windows keys to and then getting a Teensy so that I can get this old Model F XT keyboard I have lying around to work.

If someone were to make a modern keyboard with the model F switches I'd buy it at just about any price.

That sounds like a sure way to disappointment upon later reflection :)

aim low i always say. have no faith in people. you can't be let down. because every interaction is either what you expected (let down) or something good.
