This was an actual typing test using the QAZ keys over on the right side which is less horrible than I imagined it would be. I probably got lucky, though, because there weren't many Q's or Z's in my test.

The energy this post has is truly mystifying.

In a good way or a bad way?

Mystery exists outside of the simple world of "good" and "bad".

Well I personally think thats one of the smoothest keyboards I have ever seen. Its giving me the same feeling a really smooth rock does when you hold it or look at it.

The ancient monitor in the background is what adds this vibe of mystery to it, makes your brain question the image a little. But it also completes the image.

Reminds me of Meow Wolf.

I don't know where you found that CRT to take a bizarre picture of, but I'm here for it.

Haha it was at my wife's family cottage for decades and we tried to sell it in a garage sale but nobody wanted it so it's been sitting in our basement for several years. I had a SNES and N64 hooked up to it for a while but didn't play them much so now it's back in the basement.

Also getting a screenshot of a typing test on it was kind of a huge pain and I probably did it in the most convoluted way possible. But in the end I was super happy with how the shot turned out, especially since a friend of mine made this insanely cool video out of it.

Do you have a copy of that video that isn't hosted on a centralized platform? And I agree, I love this shot.

[-] cloffwrangler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Here it is! (Sorry I’m guessing imgur wasn’t really what you had in mind when you said not a centralized platform)

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Close enough I suppose.

[-] cloffwrangler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah I can upload it to imgur or something

This picture feels like those Outrun 3d renders. Love it.
