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.

I studied Astronomy in university and I find Artemis II to be somewhere between pointless and actively bad. The best I can figure is it might inspire some kids to be interested in space. The worst is pretty much everything you've already said. From what I understand, the science they'll be doing is more cheaply done by a combination of unmanned lunar missions and experiments in Earth's orbit, like on the ISS.

~~Yes,~~ You are correct. My intent was to point out that ~~although~~ your average player would be exposed to the Geodude line, the Rhyhorn line, and Onix significantly more often than any of the fossil Pokemon.

Edited for politeness

They made it even worse by making all the rock types also ground types in the beginning.

As somebody who enjoys all 3 games immensely, you don't strictly have to play Miles Morales. You'll be missing some of his character growth that continues throughout 2, but a lot of the broad strokes you can pick up from context.

That said, I highly recommend playing Miles Morales.

They just released content for Neon Genesis Evangelion this year, they released several movies for it between 2009 and 2021, and the original series released in 1995, so I'd say it matches long running and still active.

Not sure about Hollow Knight, though. The first game released in 2017, they released additional content for it over a few years, and then the new game released last year. I don't think I'd count that as long running, personally, but you made the thread.

I meant to say Z-A. My bad. Arceus didn't really hold my attention, likely for the reason you mention.

It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends: ~~Arceus~~ Z-A (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.

Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.

Legends: ~~Arceus~~ Z-A has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.

Edit: Looking back, both times I meant to say Z-A I said Arceus. Whoops.

 

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.
