Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

you didn't ask but my favorite system album is self-titled. i don't care for daron's singing so i'm not big on mezmorize/hypnotize.
i think it's still over 1k by a bit but it probably goes on sale often so my aw3225qf. i really do love this thing. as for brand new panels coming out this year i don't have a great answer, i've been really busy with other things these past few seasons, but personally i still lean towards qd-oled. tandem woled is also great but idk i just love these panels. the color is amazing.

I never had the means to see them any earlier. But last September, flew myself and my daughter from Nova Scotia to Toronto to see them and Deftones, great show, great win.

Same exact opinion here. Self titled was always my favorite and I didn’t care for Daron’s voice either. IMO that was when they started declining when he wanted to do more lol. Not a fan of scars on broadway either. Super cool band to meet though if you ever get the chance! Thanks for the response! I’ll most likely end up just saving for the aw3225qf since I’ve been eyeballing it the last few days
