papalonian,

If you forget what happened in Fortnite you should be able to check your replays

papalonian,

Helldivers is at least cheaper than most other games. I’ve been playing the crap out of it both with friends and randoms and having a lot of fun. Hoping I don’t lose interest once I get all the strategems unlocked, but just got one of the warbonds after grinding for the medals so I should have something to do for a while

Note that I don’t own a multi-filament setup so I can’t speak from personal experience, but this is after I’d done extensive research into it and determined it wasn’t worth it for my personal use case.

What kind of parts will you be printing in multi-material? The kind of prints you are doing will greatly determine the best approach. Some smaller prints with many filament changes will result in purge blocks with more mass than the part itself… ie more than double normal filament usage.

IMO the tool changers are the way to go and I think we will be seeing more of them in higher end machines. I personally wouldn’t use multiple materials for the sake of colors, but different tool heads offers the ability to print with different materials at different temperatures, as well as different nozzle sizes or different setups altogether. For example you can have a 0.6 volcano nozzle for the bulk of your print, a standard 0.2 nozzle with the same filament for fine details, and a 0.4 nozzle with a water soluble filament for supports.

This is just speculation, but I’m betting that we’ll see tool changers with more than just extruders on deck - imagine if you could add a Dremel head for post-print sanding, or a drill bit to clear out holes.

papalonian,

Moments like this are like dreams for me.

I’ll start doing something. And it starts to actually get done. Then I’ll throw in another task and it’s getting done too. I’ll realize that I’m getting stuff done, and excitedly try to get more stuff done.

But once I realize that I’m getting stuff done, I “wake up” and it all falls apart, and I’m left with 6 tasks at 75% completion.

papalonian,

This guy lemmy’in while driving what a champ

papalonian,

So again, why pick? Choose freedom.

Ok, I’ve chosen freedom. Now what happens

papalonian,

So no real tangible advice then, right? Just telling people on the Internet they’re not doing enough? Got it, thanks

papalonian,

No, but you came in and started doing it anyways, lol. Just wanted to see if there was any substance behind your “do better” message.

papalonian, (edited )

Choose freedom.

Be a leader.

Dis u?

People generally don’t not “choose” freedom. We didn’t wake up one morning and say, y’know, I feel like giving away all of my personal data to the government. Telling people whom you’ve got no idea of their struggles to “be a leader” from your keyboard isn’t constructive. It’s noise at best, and condescending at worst. But you do you.

papalonian,

Holy crap, I’ve been here almost a year. Well I was using kbin at first but still.

papalonian,

One time pirated some video editing software and after rebooting my Steam had janky early 2000s sidebar ads.

papalonian,

I’m a first time DM and I struggle with this a lot haha. There are times where I feel a roll is appropriate, so I do it, and whatever is supposed to happen fails, then I realize… “what the hell is supposed to happen if that doesn’t work?” so it just kinda happens anyways… IDK if my players have caught on…

papalonian,

That’s where my problem comes from. I’m not experienced enough to know immediately where failure is acceptable or not; rather, I don’t always have backup plans or ideas for when things that should be able to fail, fail. So I roll, and it fails, and it should fail, but I’ve got no idea what happens when it does. So it doesn’t fail.

I think I’m getting better at improv-ing events and making backup plans. It’s still difficult for me to find the balance between the story I want to tell/ have prepared vs the story that my players wind up creating, but checking in with my party here and there tells me everyone’s having fun and only rarely does anyone feel gipped or abused by dice rolls.

papalonian,

Thanks for spelling it out like this. I think I’ve been too focused on “doing something” and keeping the game going, that I don’t stop to think before doing some things. Ie rolling before I know what will happen with a failure. I’ll try to take more quick pauses to think things through, and worry about smoothness of play later.

papalonian,

This is another thing I fear, that causes me to do probably unnecessary rolls. I want the story/ gameplay to have at least some semblance of believability, so I don’t want everyone risking their life on a curiosity because they know I won’t kill them, but I also don’t want to “punish” players every time they take a step off the walking path.

I’ll admit it right here: sometimes I roll the dice just to give the illusion of risk, when in reality I’m buying time to make up the results of what someone just did.

papalonian,

I really like the “who succeeds” idea. In events where I roll a fail and have no idea what to do with it, I can just have the outcome only happen for certain characters, or tweak the “success” so that it isn’t quite so successful. Haha.

papalonian,

How are you not aware that "why do trans people (M-F) do XYZ” is a blanket statement about trans people doing XYZ? Do you… do you know what a blanket statement is? Or what victimize means?

Actually, do you know what any of the words you’ve used mean? You kinda sound like an LLM that used YouTube comments to learn how to argue.

papalonian,

How does one unironically make this comment after asking “why do all trans people do this thing that I saw a couple trans people do?”

papalonian,

What a wonderful response, though I fear the OP is going to somehow read it as another character attack.

papalonian,

When I was a child, I genuinely thought that’s what these signs were supposed to mean. In my area they were kinda scattered around the place, oftentimes not even near a construction site, so I thought they were just random propaganda signs.

papalonian,

They are signs indicating that the road work you assumedly have just driven through has ended.

papalonian,

I mean, it can? Feel like most super powers can be used for bad things. That’s where all of the good guys get bad guys to fight.

papalonian,

Pretty sure the second one is from Bojack horseman

I’ve switched to Firefox but there’s definitely a few things that irritate me about it.

First thing is when I boot up my computer, launch Firefox, it launches long enough for me to click a bookmark then closes to perform an update. And then doesn’t automatically reopen…

I also have it set to not “remember” my tabs after closing. Yet when I launch Firefox for the first time after rebooting or closing ally tabs, it gives me a “hmm… we’re having a hard time finding your previous session” message. Uh, yeah, I told you not to look for it… can I just have the regular “new tab” page?

It also might just be because I’m used to chrome, but I feel the mobile app is severely lacking. I hate that I can’t access my bookmarks directly from the new tab page, and that the tablet version doesn’t show you your bookmark bar. The synchronization between mobile and desktop isn’t great either, I’ll have a very long specific search query that I’ve used multiple times on my phone, yet it doesn’t offer it for auto-complete on desktop, I have to search the entire term again or go digging through my history. When you’re searching long model numbers and the like, this is incredibly frustrating.

Finally, and I don’t know if this is a Firefox issue, but there’s some memory leak that occurs when viewing a webcam stream from my raspberry pi that only has happened in Firefox. The first time I noticed it happening my PC slowed to a crawl, when task manager finally opened Firefox was taking 23GB of RAM. So I have to use chrome to keep that steam open for more than a few minutes at a time.
