[GB] Ragnarok Red on Black 87/104 Keyset: Order Thread [Shipped]

[demik]

I'm not worried. I only wish to be mentally prepared for disappointment, which that thread made seem imminent.

A month of keycap longing is alot for a nerd to bear; My desire to continue living is all too fragile.

Visit the classifieds and fill that void.

You just gotta forget about them. They will show up when they do.

wow I'm impressed, You picked up on my "void",,

To be perfectly transparent, I've been filling this void with material goods my entire life....


Unless, everyone here's doing what I'm doing,, LOL,, in which case I could stop reading all my self help books,, and just talk to you guys...

hahahahhahaahahaha

[dewaere]

Considering the price, the only complaint would be the thickness of the caps:

Someone should hack a military spy satelite so we can monitor the progress of our keycaps... This is geek "HACK" afterall.

If assuming these keycaps are structurally sound,, I am for lighter thinner keycaps,, since return travel speed is the only true affector double tap, for when I type my Double alphabets

Did you even get a set? It seems like you asked to get it on this after the buy was closed and invoices sent out.

Yea, lucked out, got in on it, I asked THE DAY before he put in the order,

You also come off as a person whose only joy comes from of the derogation and misfortune of others..  shame on u.

and here I thought I was depressing,, LOLOL

It's known as schadenfreude and it's a very rewarding hobby. [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42905[/ATTACH]

[lightsout714]

tp4tissue I think you may have him mistaken but oh well.

[metafour]

You should take a closer look around before you make such statements.

[tp4tissue]

It's known as schadenfreude and it's a very rewarding hobby. (Attachment Link) 42905[/ATTACH]

Well, if your contrast group is starving africans,, then yea, I suppose you'd be the happiest man alive,,,

But, now that I think about it more,  schadenfreude, may not be logically possible.

It only seems to occur in under-achieving / low-achieving individuals. Plauged by the frustration at the lack of personal success, they resort to rationalizations (the schadenfreude) to resolve that inner emotional dissonance.

It would make no sense for a rich successful man to behave this way..

But, then what the person derives from other's misfortune is not pleasure, but a delusion to numb their own constant failures....



THIS IS all speculation,,, metafour mayy be a good guy, but so far, doubtful...

[thegunner100]

I don't think there was any harm in metafour's msg, so just calm down imo.

[captain]

The hack just stands for "hey Chinese GEEKs, you won't sell us your plastic so come HACK our BBS!". :-P

I have only seen metafour being a gentleman around here.  Likewise for most everyone else too!  :-)

[Ragnorock]

I let TP in because he asked nicely later that day after someone else dropped. However his behavior is making me wonder whether that was a good idea or not. Metafour was asking a legitimate question, as TP's name isn't in the OP. There is no indication of his personality and he's actually a stand up guy as far as I can tell. You have no place to make such judgements and even if you did, this thread is not the place. Please refrain from any future insults.

Also some people like thicker keys because they sound different. Apparently.

I can't dig my self outta this, but I sensed great animosity and negativity in Metafour's comment, if you wanna drop my order, feel free. Look at it from my perspective, I just got off all happy about getting caps, and he comes in and kill-joys me; a pretty insensitive move, and to what end. What purpose was it to him to find out whether I order the caps?:mmph:

[demik]

he asked you a question. i saw nothing wrong with his comment.

a simple "yeah, i was able to sneak in at the last second" was all that was needed.

I'm not arguing I could've handled it better,, but it really rubbed me the wrong way... as I've said, how you felt about the comment would be very different from how I felt about it.

[tp4tissue]

This is how I felt,,

I'm at a car dealership

Guy comes up to me, says, "can you afford it son" with a awry smirk..

That's how interpreted his comment..

terrible imagination? perhaps.

[lightsout714]

Dude let it go. Its not that serious.

[tp4tissue]

Dude let it go. Its not that serious.

right right, i did let it go, I'm just all depressed that my caps gonna get canceled.

[Ragnorock]

Yeah man, don't think we're so serious here, this is the internet afterall, nobody is looking for a fight... well except Biniaris.

I'm not going to pull you from the group buy or anything silly like that, just chill. I suspect you've had one too many bad experiences, but there's no need to go looking for one here.

[metafour]

Yeah man, don't think we're so serious here, this is the internet afterall, nobody is looking for a fight... well except ripster.

Fixed!

[tp4tissue]

Fixed!

Hey metafour, I do apologize for my quick assumptions... I'll get u a beer if ur ever in jersey. plz no h8 on jersey, I know the Situation makes us look bad.

Keycaps!!!

Deep.  I wonder if we could prioritize PC traffic over Phone traffic.  Like AT&T Unlimited Plan throttling.

about 86% of your posts are misogynistic image macros that have nothing to do with the substance of the thread. i have no idea where you get off *****ing about post content.

OH NO I MISSPELLED SOMETHING THAT'S DEFINITELY WORSE THAN WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME *****ING ABOUT THINGS NONSTOP

[Taeyoung]

Just sent the sorting fees.
Sorry for the late payment because I've missed the recent post about the unexpected sorting fees.

[Zwi]

sent the sort fee.. With all these GB's ending I'm getting lost in what I still have to pay!

[Wildcard]

Hey Dave, just sent you a little bit extra to cover the costs. Thanks again for organizing this GB

[hashbaz]

Returning to the question of SP quality control, Melissa reran the bad keys from my group buy and had them on my doorstep in just over a week.  I was very impressed.

Also, fun fact of the day since someone brought it up:  the hack in geekhack actually doesn't refer to clever programming or breaking into computer systems.  According to iMav it refers to writers.  A geek hack is a writer who is also a geek, i.e., someone who is probably interested in keyboards.

[Ragnorock]

Yeah I'm not going to knock SP's service or quality until I have reason to, and I don't ever expect that I will. Like even those slightly bowed backspace keys, she warned me that there may be some outside of their tolerance specs, and I said that was fine because I was going to order enough extras that it shouldn't pose an issue. It didn't, and I've only had 3 people need exchanges.

[Phil21]

sent sorting fees plus some extra to cover the deadbeats  Thanks again!

[duncan]

My share (plus a bit) of sorting fees sent in.
Thanks for the GB Ragnorock.

[mickd]

Haha looks like you greatly underestimated this community originally Dave

I find it ironic that one would complain about time wasting on a "keyboard-enthusiast" forum. LOL,, i mean it just seems like the internet was made for time-wasting and pr0n.

[IPT]

rag, shot you $35 to cover my set + the inevitable deadbeats that will see all the rest of us sending $$ in

you were patient and did a good job on my 1st participated Group Buy, i have no problem joining any of your future group buys that i'd be interested in (not the biohazard one lol)

Let me know if you're still short in the end, i'll chip in a little more (if i can get some of my other stuff sold)

[dreamingftw]

Sorting fees sent..

[Nighted]

Ragnorock must be reeling in the green! [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42964[/ATTACH]

[alaricljs]

Apart from it pretty much having been spent already, sure.

There was no need to talk **** about others. Congrats, you sent more than you had to.

[Nighted]

Is it a full moon or something?

[Jesterfox]

sorting fee sent

[Ragnorock]

Yeah thanks to some very generous donations, I've gotten back what I put in up front with only 65 of the people contributing. If you haven't yet, don't feel pressured into spending any more than your fair contribution, I never expected such generosity and am not sure I can even accept some of them they're so above and beyond what they should have been. I had already prepared myself mentally to just write off a couple hundred as costs of doing business so actually meeting and now exceeding how much I had spent is completely beyond me. I've been mulling over how I can pay these members back ever since, and that includes giving them the recognition among the community they deserve, but I won't be naming them unless they are okay with it. Some people prefer to remain anonymous. Astounding job guys, this community never ceases to amaze.

Dave out.

Maybe if getting those Cherry legends getting made gets going, the extra money could go to that. I think many would be on board with that.

[Ragnorock]

What Cherry legends? Everyone seems to like their WYSE font.

[tsangan]

What Cherry legends? Everyone seems to like their WYSE font.

Both fonts are nice

[rknize]

Please invest any profits that you don't feel right keeping into the next group buy (custom legends, etc).  That way to can give back to those that gave back.  

[mkawa]

if you end up with any extra sorting fee donations, you can put them in a virtual slush fund to pay for the cherry legend fees that people seem to want for future GBs

ho ho ho, first step, awesome keys. next: TOTAL DOMINATION OF THE WORLD OF CUSTOM KEYBOARDS. WATCH OUT KOREANS GEEKHACK IS COMING
