Overtime, it may become the default if training can stabilize artistic intent.
It's currently still too erratic.
Yeah, but you could apply it to existing games right?

Off Topic / Re: Rice part-II, Presoaking and Hydration
« Last post by tp4tissue on Mon, 07 September 2026, 09:12:03 »The thing with advanced rice cookers.
The whole thing is a cauldron of forever chemicals, and all that "plastic" in the hot heat path, microplasix + evaporated plasticizers .
Hrrrmm...
The only other option is the 1 button cookers, the stainless version which just has a glass cap and nothing else, not even a silicone seal.
With stainless pressure cookers even, those still have the silicone gasket.
The benefit is uniform rice texture, buhhhh honestly, the difference isn't that hughhg, if you presoak the rice for at least 1-6 hours.
Minor drawback however is that it DOES stick. So you have to soak the pot for a minute before getting the extra rice off. Hrrrm.

I thought that GMK will not have this problem.
After seeing your comment, I looked at GMK website and Zfrontier and found some text-only:
But yes, you are correct, its a minority if you exclude MNTU which seems to default to text-only.
I saw a comment on [IC] DCS Handarbeit about people not liking mixing icons and text, and i agreed, hence my post.
I get that a poll was conducted, but with so many different channels and places, it makes it hard to do.
For example, we already have an IC here, so why not poll here? How about r/MechanicalKeyboards?
I saw polls for KKB Cobalt that are done in Unikeys Discord, perhaps general or keycaps channel, and by the time i even saw it buried among hundreds of other posts, its closed.
It seems that it is a really difficult task in this hobby.
