I'll be going through the DLC of Elden Ring this weekend with a friend. His skill level is well above mine, so we tend to fare pretty well against most of the enemies in the game.

As far as which one forced me to adjust and learn the genre, Bloodborne for sure. I played DS1 and DS2 relatively close to their respective releases, and I always did slow exploration with the biggest shield I could find. Bosses tended to be almost more luck than skill. Then Bloodborne came out and I had to actually learn to dodge, especially once I got to the DLC. Over my first three playthroughs I learned skills that have helped me in every soulslike I have played since.

Honorable mention to Sekiro, though. Took a bit for that one to click, but once it did I had a blast. Unfortunately the skillset there is not quite as transferrable.

You might enjoy Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury if you want to try a less-war Gundam series. It focuses on an academy intended to train (rich) kids to pilot giant robots.

Most skills have a "soft cap". These are points when additional levels in that skill no longer bring the same amount of increases. For most skills, this tends to be around level 60.

Looks fantastic!

I'm not a mod, but I've seen other kits posted here. I think the usual recommendation is to tag non-gundam kits in the title, like what you did.

Lemmy just isn't big enough to have a bunch of hyper specific model kit communities.

Oh I've accepted that the real trick is practice. I was just curious if you used any masking or base coat tricks to get them so well-defined. Thank you!

I love them! (Having only painted a few minis) Was there any trick to getting the teeth right?

It is very much Reddit-style humor, for the most part. Carl's inner struggle takes place across several books, but I remember being a bit bored of him as a character in the first couple. Jeff Hays narration is what kept me listening, that and a desire to know what happened next.

Ultimately, I have had a surprising amount of fun with the series and don't have any issue recommending it to people, especially in audiobook form. That said, some people just won't like it, and that is okay.

Eden emulator has been working well with every game I have thrown at it. The newest release I have tried is Pokémon Legends Z-A.

The IP rule is mildly frustrating, but as far as I have experienced the other rules are pretty standard for private trackers. The no mobile seeding thing is something I've never considered, though, so that may or may not be an issue elsewhere.

Could be an abbreviation for "constable"?

What I understand of it is that it is more for printing replacement parts (non-electronic) and general understanding of the controller

Edit: Having finally downloaded the files, it is just the exterior. Probably couldn't print any replacement parts, although the .stp files would get you close. Definitely just for designing accessories (and printing adorable tiny Steam controllers)

Not trying to defend Bambu, but the updates on my A1 Mini never take more than two minutes and typically only happen infrequently. The new Bambu Studio update deleting all my local print settings is a bit more upsetting to me.

 

In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.

Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.

 

Edit 2: I purchased the Bambu A1 mini. If I regret it, there will be more chances in later years. Haha. Maybe by then I can work with resin and make the really fun minis. Thank everyone who responded for your advice and help.

Edit: I am leaning against resin printing due to the lack of sufficient ventilation in my current work space and the potential for injuring my cats. I also do not plan to do exclusively miniatures; they were just the thing I was most excited for when making this post.

 

I looked around for a pinned thread or purchase wiki type thing, but didn't see one. I apologize if this is the wrong place.

After visiting a family member, I have decided that 3D printing has finally gotten affordable enough for me to maybe add to my list of hobbies. My primary use cases would be making miniatures (no particular scale necessary, as I just like to paint them at the moment), making parts for other hobbies (including cross stitch), and just generally making gifts and fun knick nacks. My budget is no more than $250 for the machine itself. I have not-insignificant computer experience, and some training in CAD programs.

Several seem to be on sale in the US for Father's Day (today), and I was wondering if anybody had some advice or suggestions on some specific ones.

  • Creality Ender-3 V2 is what my family member has had for a while now and enjoyed, and less than $200 is very nice. It does seem to be dated at this point, and Creality support seems to be lacking.
  • There's also the Neo of the above for the same price, but I am honestly having a hard time pinpointing the difference.
  • Sovol SV06 seems to be a common recommendation for the price range, but I've heard similarly negative things about their support, especially on Amazon (although I no longer trust Amazon reviews very much).
  • Flashforge Adventurer 5M appears to be on a significant sale on their official eBay (240 USD), but I have only really seen it recommended in almost spammy manners, which seems like either excitement for the sale or an ad campaign.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, even if it's just not getting into the hobby at this price point.
