Is the standard kit all that's necessary for a Tofu65?

Y'all arguing about Modern Dolch, Muted, 9009, but in reality this is just a rip off of GMK Paperwork without the additional highlighter novelties.Paperwork is more dolch than Modo Light
So this is like GMK 9009 Light?

Quote from: Datastream on Wed, 16 October 2019, 08:25:50So this is like GMK 9009 Light?No. It's like Modern Dolch Light.

does anyone have any real feedback for the set besides the naming scheme
I honestly don't understand why there's so much drama regarding the naming. janglad already explained why it's named Modern Dolch Light and Dixie posted a render visually depicting how Modern Dolch Light is derived from Modern Dolch. That's more than enough justification.Re-naming to Muted R2 makes no sense since the original runner of Muted is no longer actively involved in the community as far as I'm aware, and has already turned down others who have approached him to try to re-run Muted.It's clear that concerns regarding the naming have been voiced and received without change. If you still have such a big problem with the naming, protest with your wallet and just don't buy the set.
These big vendor GMK ICs are getting so perfected and machined to the point where it doesn't feel like there is a lot of room for suggestions/actual beneficial changes.So we end up having multiple pages of people either saying they are going to buy it, or cling onto the one thing that feels wrong about the set, in this case being the name lmao
I’ve never seen a community that gets as heated and fired-up over Colors and nomenclature as ours lol. Show ImageYou fellas know Dixie about to sell 1k+ of this XD
you would think after the man in the high castle disaster dixie would put more thought into his interest checks instead of coming off strictly as an opportunistic marketer
noun: marketing the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.
I love the saltiness when ISO and/or numpad gets removed out of base.
geez, who gives a cr*p about the naming, it's a great looking set, more nuanced diversity is great, if you like muted go buy muted smh

As far as the name - I can see this as a photo-negative of MoDo. I can see how MoDo inspired it, and I can see how they tried to be subtly different than Muted. I just find it ignorant and quarrelsome to call someone out for "opportunistic marketing" on a forum devoted to "Interest" checks - the entire IDEA of this forum is to see if the OPPORTUNITY to run something exists.

Definitely in for this! Will look great on my work keyboard.
Yes please. I'm interested.I'd rather a re-run of Modern Dolch though; honestly. I don't know how I missed that one.
janglad, you gonna have matching rama caps for this set like MoDo?

If I don't like something and got nothing nice to say, I switch tab and keep it to myself. Maybe that's something to consider...Just let fan bois be fan bois. My apologies for trying to continue a friendly conversation and stick to the topic of the thread. However, your answer does not help clarify my confusion. I never once stated that I disliked this set, in fact, I very much like it. I would most definitely participate in this if I did not currently own a similar set. Perhaps if enough interest was generated to influence some minor design changes, I would be willing to purchase myself a set. I was unaware that users are not allowed to participate in the conversation of interest checks even if there is a high probability of not joining the group buy. Are we not allowed to encourage changes in the design?

Man, what is your deal? We get it, you hate the set. Yes, it’s obviously not for you, but I was comparing COLOR to MoDo Light, not who uses the damn thing.And your whole “99% of the enthusiast market” is ignorant and lazy. Get off Evan’s nuts, he’s not even in the hobby anymore.
