The System is fighting itself.

Tp4 believes the way the power balancer works is too smart for its own good, leading to more load imbalance.

Wish they'd have a MANUAL balancer,  Just let the user determine how many Jigers the GPU vs CPU should have.

And a Manual core conductor would be interesting as well.


The screen is prettty gud',  Buh, hrrm.. IDK, it has raised black floor,  I can understand why they chose that for a laptop, but it's not as nice for movies, because it kills off quite alot of shadow detail.

Specifically this is the RGB values representing between 0 and 0.5 nits,  You'd be surprised how important that is.

They're using a samsung panel, so it's not a capability issue, samsung dithering is state of the art, so this is a deliberate choice, one that Tp4 is not enamored with.

The 120hz is gud, gamz look great.

This laptop has a pretty high power allowance for its size, 70watts,  but it heavily gates it, even while plugged in, which Tp4 mentioned in opening statements.

Guys, 

The market,  CRASH,   may not  Numerically-Crash.   After the 2008,  they essentially made a rule that allows banks to print as much money as they want to balance the book.

BUT the-REALITIES on the ground as in people's LIVED EXPERIENCE is different. Things will simply stop working, and the printing that's needed to balance ever growing interest makes the inflation go Pwwwoooooooooooo...



Don't be fixated on the numbers,  your actual lives will be much much worse, regardless of what wall street numbers they put up. 

MONEY is NOT REAL.


Notice the European bonds all tanking, over 50% of people's paychecks don't cover the month, BECAUSE,  INFOOALTION.

Scanning <The deepweb forums hot take> There are indicators, that, epsti zclass is trying to make the decision, send all our extra men off to war (Crusades), and hopefully they die, and the epstiiiz class can eat the widows and orfns.

^ That was literally what happened during the crusades,  buhhh u know, if you believe history ryhms, it's not at all illogical.

Would be nice if the cream base had cream colored alternatives for the accent keys. Like the other base has, cause now you need to buy both if you want the single color
Since the mold is manufactured as a complete set, this requirement cannot be met.It is recommended to purchase the novelty kit as a matching accessory. :thumb:

I don't follow. You have the keys in the other base kit already. I don't see a reason they can't be on the cream color base as well. I am not talking about the novelties, I mean the cream colored ISO enter, BAE, arrow keys etc. that you have already included as a variant on the multi color base but which are not on the cream color base where they imo should be.

The white keys on the orange base are obtained by swapping them from the white base.

On your kitting image of the white base the white base only has orange keys, not white keys..

The gray keys inside the orange base are dependent on another alpha gray color. Therefore, the orange base has more keys than the cream color base. I have communicated with the manufacturer many times, and what I have been assured is that the current layout is the optimal solution.
Moreover, the price of KBS is not high. By choosing to purchase two bases, you can achieve a wide variety of color schemes. :thumb:

You're not making any sense. I'm not talking about gray colored keys. I am talking about the cream colored mods, like Enter etc. that are missing from the cream colored base. That are for some unfathomable reason included in the orange base. Also, making the conscious choice of omitting obvious color options from a base just to make people buy an entire extra base kit for a few keys and acting like people just have money to throw around like that is not a good look
Thank you very much for your suggestions. But I must say I'm very sorry. You can try to find someone who has the orange base to exchange with. There's no other way. However, this is the best solution based on the majority of feedback. I can't fulfill everyone's suggestions. Thank you again.

Yeah. I'd love to hear a proper explanation as to why the kit is missing the mods in it's main colorway and how it is impossible to incorporate them there.

This set looks like GMK Kantharos (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=115920.0), and from what I can recall, many of the novelties and colours from that project are the same.
Did the design dispute by mixistor and arq1999 ever get resolved? I think that drama really stalled that project from getting any liftoff.
Regardless, I like the addition of special effects and pivot/focus on Hephaestus. Glad to see it come back reforged

I started working on Hephaestus as a personal project because I wanted to make use of GMK's new special effects in a project that actually benefited from them and didn't just use them because they were new, but I do have to say that the colors I imagined the set with from the beginning were very similar to those GMK Kantharos used.

As the project developed, at a certain point I wanted to pay homage to GMK Kantharos, since it was a set that I loved, but because of everything that happened around the set, it was almost impossible for it to ever come out. I continued developing Hephaestus until at one point I started thinking about whether it would be possible for me to acquire some of the novelties used in Kantharos, which is what I ended up doing (This is the reason why Angel is credited for the novelties, since the ISO Enter novelty and one of the 1u ones, which were not originally from Kantharos, were made by Stella).

At the end of the day, if I'm fully honest, Hephaestus is the combination of an idea/concept that I personally love, which is Greek mythology, and being able to pay homage to some extent (since the sublegends, alphas, accents and legends are considerably different from Kantharos) in a proper way to one of my favorite sets that never came out.
