Thank you my friend! I actually didn't realize just how long the video would be until I started editing everything together. It posed its own challenges (or maybe it's mostly me being sleepy when rendering and doing a final look over before uploading) such as not catching a few errors, and I wanted to rush this vid out a bit due to the interest in the board so I kept some of the "not so great" audio clips that had my neighbor mowing and other unwanted background sounds, but I'm happy with the end product. I've been slowly working on the updated ABS Keycap video (just need to wait for the WS Akuamarin Keycap set to fulfill to finalize it) and a few others, so I'll definitely put what I learned making this video to good use. I always appreciate you and your comments!
I messed up the timestamps somehow (even though all other videos I've never had a problem with), but thanks! All praise be to James. Hope the muramasa sells well/that people will be receptive to it!
It turned out that there was a 30 second chunk of dead air without any audio for one of the MMFranken sound tests (I wonder if I accidentally deleted it) for the NT1 mic! But... Even though I repeatedly went over the entire thing again and again (as well as the whole part), I missed it. I also missed moving the Monkeytype window to the top right in the very last board config before the mods sound tests and forgot to lower the volume for the 10 second ending audio 😢. I'll have to make sure to QC everything multiple times in the future, even if I've done so already to catch these small errors, but hey, I guess we live and we learn!

My morning just got a whole lot better! Thank you for this smol quick video on the Longest Boi.
😂 Thanks Doc! I enjoyed making this very brief and short video
❤ Beautiful intro Hugh
❤ thank you for helping with making this board a reality! I'm so thankful for you, and I'll always treasure this board
With this board and this comprehensive of a sound test you are definitely HubertTheMad 😅😅
😂 long video for a long board! Haha
Why did this get reuploaded?
It turned out that there was a 30 second chunk of dead air without any audio for one of the MMFranken sound tests (I wonder if I accidentally deleted it) for the NT1 mic!
But... Even though I repeatedly went over the entire thing again and again (as well as the whole part), I missed it.
I also missed moving the Monkeytype window to the top right in the very last board config before the mods sound tests and forgot to lower the volume for the 10 second ending audio 😢.
I'll have to make sure to QC everything multiple times in the future, even if I've done so already to catch these small errors, but hey, I guess we live and we learn!
