2 weeks since Ivan's last comment. Hic hic hic
He's just been overwhelmed by the feels and amazing clarity of the legends and is forced to go through his usual ritual.
Not many know of a dedicated PBT coated bathtub in Ivan's hidden temple of keyboard gods. Once he receives a bulk order of caps, he fills the tub with keycaps, not to bathe in them, as you plebeians might do. No. He washes them individually by hand. Then lays them out on screens stacked a dozen high and hand blow-dries them while singing sweet reggae songs to bring good vibes to the caps.
Next he has to do the needful and create each set by hand sorting the keycaps. You'd think he'd create some kind of sorting machine by now, but that would mean potential scratches and he has more integrity than that. All hand done.
Ivan goes into hiding for weeks on end, home stocked with energy drinks, teriyaki beef jerky packs, and diapers. For days on end, he hits a keycap-sorting high. Nobody is allowed to disrupt this and we never know how long the job will take.
He comes out of this tired and needs to sleep for 4 days and nights before he can restock, then go on a similar, but less intense, packing and shipping binge.
It's OK, keycaps will be shipping soon. There's just a lot that goes into it!
