I have a qidi Q1 which I'm using to print ABS parts for a new Voron right now. It's working very easily even on default settings, although I haven't made anything big yet, and I don't know if ASA is harder to print.

As much as I lobe the Prusa Core One I have at work, it doesn't seem to be the best for ASA. I printed a few very large flat parts in ASA a while ago. Heating up the chamber takes forever, and warping / adhesion issues happen a lot on default settings, even with their own brand.

Bloodborne was kind of the third video game I ever played. I wish no one had told me how hard it was supposed to be, because when I found a difficult area/fight, I just kept trying to 'get better' instead of trying different approaches. It was only after playing a lot of other games that I realised good Souls-likes are not just difficult, but also designed to be very beatable.

Later when a friend and I played dark souls together I noticed I was much more aggressive compared to him. I didn't bother much with shields, dodged a lot, and kept getting right in the face of enemies. I remember hearing this idea that Bloodborne is the best tutorial to dark souls, maybe that's true.

Good point, I'd be happy with Steelrising too, Nioh I already have and couldn't get into.

I really enjoyed Blasphemous. It has some flaws but in the end I just loved the art and level designs.

Been wanting to get Another Crab's Treasure for a while. Currently playing an older game from the same studio, Going Under, and enjoying it. It's got some social satire of corporate culture, plus decent gameplay.

From what I've paid attention to:

Hollow Knight: Silksong was released, loved it

Hades II was released, first in early access then recently on ~~all major platforms~~ Switch too

A few interesting multi-material solutions for FFF 3d printing was announced, although looks like they're going to be available starting next year.

I have no idea what you care about, politics did not seem great over the last year or two, so I'm sure you have heard / will hear all about it sooner or later

As long as you're comfortable setting up the emulations, Steam Deck seems like a better choice then.

Has she tried playing on your steam deck?

I got the OLED Deck this year to replace my Switch, and the first thing I noticed was that my hands are not quite big enough. I can't reach the Y button with my thumb quickly, and I cannot comfortably put my index and middle fingers on the bumper and trigger buttons. I ended up mapping the bumpers to the back buttons and got used to pressing trigger with my index finger, but it took a while to get over my muscle memory.

Yes it did! Quite happy with how everything went, will probably try to do the same again next year

I did a super important presentation earlier today, I feel like I understand what they felt lol

Not a boss, the bonfire crowd in Bloodborne. It was one of my first video games, I had no idea what I was doing and it took me a whole week.

Just beat Silksong for true ending yesterday. Might go back and finally get all the upgrades for 100%

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which boss in Bloodborne?

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Try to go left for a minute until I realise I'll be looking at the back of the head most of the game anyway.

 

I just feel sad about it. I've been buying most of my games from the same shop for years, the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. A couple weeks ago they suddenly announced they're closing.

Switching my computer from Windows to Linux is one of the best decisions I have ever made🔥👌

Original: In the previous post in the community it was pointed out that there really isn't a whole lot of relevant topics specific to the Netflix streaming service, so it may be a good idea to consolidate to !television@piefed.social , which is more active. What do you think?

 

My PC freezes up quite often while using Discord, it reacts to nothing except force shutdown :( Otherwise it's been running great since I started using Mint last year.

 

Share your opinion! Do you use the feature? Do you think it should be continued? Any games you like?

TLDR: thinking about getting a new printer with a budget of maybe €1200, mostly for toys and hueforge. Preferably FOSS

I got an Ender 3 Pro three years ago as my first printer. Over the years I've printed plenty toys and some occasional functional parts, and it's been mostly pretty good. It's developed problems now and then, but I've been able to fix them.

I've recently played a bit with HueForge, it's this software that allows you to print really nice multicolour images by blending filament colours. This is doable by printing in super thin layers. It worked really well on the prusa mk4s at work, but not so much on my printer. Extrusion is just not consistent enough after swapping colours, or when there's a lot of retractions/deretractions.

I've gotten a bit tired of all the limitations the Ender 3 Pro has. I was looking at a Prusa mk4s with mmu3, since I enjoyed assembling the mk4 at work, and it's been working so well, even for the colleagues who don't know much about 3d printing. Although, for personal use, do I really want to pay the premium price for that level of reliability and longevity? A lot of budget brands do offer multi colour capable printers these days.

But I also feel pretty tempted to try building a Voron, and while I was looking at those I saw some IDEX printer that look so cool lol. And there's also the Enderwire that can make use of my old Ender 3 Pro...

Please help.

Update: I went and ordered a QIDI Q1Pro. My partner and I agreed to get a Voron kit and build it together for Christmas, I'll figure out what multi-mterial system to go for after that. Hopefully the Bondtech INDX

 

I learned about postmark games a couple years ago, found the print and play format quite interesting and wanted to try something. But it looks like all their games are competitive, which I often don't enjoy.

Mostly I really like talking about the game while playing, so I wouldn't mind a game that's mostly luck-based or where there's little player interaction.

Please recommend me some print-and-play games if possible! I'd love to know if any other publishers do this too

 

I really liked the Black Magician trilogy. I'd love to read more books that have 'evil' magic as a major component of the plot, preferably with some kind of trope subversion.
