I mostly switched for the interface, it feels far more modern and easy to navigate compared to Cura and Prusa (while retaining all but the most bleeding edge features from each). Still not perfect, but I’ve found it to be leagues better at managing and swapping between multiple printers/ nozzles/ materials. It has native calibration tools for everything from temperature towers to flow rates and pressure advance. Plus it plays very nicely with Klipper. I haven’t used it a bunch on account of not being wholly set up for it, but multi color printing is also super easy. It’s kind of dumb, but I appreciate that updates actually update the app instead on installing a new instance (that I’ll have to go uninstall later, looking at you Cura) so that my “send to print utility” button in Fusions always just works. Updates also seem more substantial with meaningful features (things like scarf joints to hide layer lines come to mind), you can very much feel the love that community has poured into it. It’s open source software in all the best ways possible.

I was pretty sold after Teaching Tech’s video last year, but a number of other channels (Lost in Tech comes to mind as well) have also done Orca slicer videos if you’re looking for reasons to give it a try.

Orca is forked from Bambo’s slicer which is in turn forked from prusa slicer.

Taking a bit of a shot in the dark as I haven’t made it off of Nauvis yet, but what happens to the ingredients/ eggs when the assembler is unpowered? I don’t know how it plays into the spoilage mechanics, but theoretically you could isolate the power grid with a switch and throttle production that way.

Same reason most things are funny, or at least mildly amusing: inversion of expectations.

Red states wondering where all the entwives went…

Assuming that’s it’s just the normal force of Earth’s gravity at work on the witch, it’s just a case of working Newton’s second backwards with the gravitational “constant” acceleration ≈ 9.8 m/s²:

F = ma

980 N = m × 9.8 m/s²

980 / 9.8 = (m × 9.8) / 9.8, units omitted for text clarity

100 kg = m

In other words, op is assuming that an average size witch masses approximately 100kg (or about 220 lbs in fingers, knees, and toes units).

My concern is when they decide to burn the whole building down over the red swingline stapler…

I don’t know about a min length; setting a lenient lower bound means that any passwords in that space are going to be absolutely brute force-able (and because humans are lazy, there are almost certainly be passwords clustered around the minimum).

I very much agree with the rest though, it’s unnerving when sites have a low max length. It almost feels like advertising that passwords aren’t being hashed, and if that’s the case there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that they’re also salted. Really restrictive character sets also tell me that said site / company either has super old infra or doesn’t know how to sanitize strings (or entirely likely both)…

Even further back if you think about the abominations of taxidermy that got passed off for merfolk and the like (Fiji mermaid)

That one’s probably less Randy and more mods doing weird things. PsychicSensitivity is a spectrum trait, meaning that once the game picks a trait for a pawn it then picks a degree level (ie deaf/ dull/ sensitive/ hypersensitive). Under normal circumstances it shouldn’t pick the same trait twice.

I’m not sure if it counts as underground (it’s been around for ages), but if you’ve never thought about how your shoelaces contribute to the overall fit and comfort of your shoe, I’d recommend giving Ian’s shoelace site a visit.

Arizona has fairly consistent and predictable weather, decently reliable power grids (with access to cleaner energy sources like solar, hydro, and nuclear), and is pretty seismically stable. Plus Phoenix has been trying to set itself up as a bit of a tech hub for a while now so you have access to an existing market of skilled labor plus a supply to fresh talent from ASU (and the other universities).

In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

To answer your question, yes, the game and DLCs go on sale periodically, nothing super crazy, usually topping out at about $5 off or so.

In the spirit of teaching a person to fish and all, you may find IsThereAnyDeal useful. It’s got price histories for most platforms and key vendors* and if shopping sales and bundles is your thing you can set up email alerts.

* personally, I like Fanatical or Humble, (and Steam) since their keys are all nice and official, but if you’re grayer markets are your thing those are there too

This from the company that brought us AAAA games and needing to get more comfortable with not owning your games. I seem to have misplaced my tiny violin.

Nope. Everyone’s entitled to theirs opinions, but I downvoted them for being wrong (and because I thought their comment was kind of dumb).

It’s no pinnacle of storytelling, but it reads exactly like a parent telling a casual mini-story about their kid to strangers on the internet. It’s a recounting of someone else’s words, but being a creep is a totally reasonable conclusion for a ten year old to reach and it’s also not all that uncommon for parents to praise and reward children for being able to think for themselves or at the very least form a “good” opinion. Ergo, OP’s comment does not read like they’re trying to pass off a tall tale or spin out bullshit.

Now if the kid had allegedly said something like “the guy’s emblematic of everything wrong with celebrity culture and philanthropy as entertainment is a scourge on society”, we’d be having different conversation.

Yeah, probably. There is a village building/ upgrading component, but it doesn’t have much of an impact on gameplay. It does get pretty tedious, especially if you’re well versed in strategy. I mostly just figured I’d throw it out as a more casual one-shot to pick up on the cheap.

Infested Planet

RTS. Kind of reminds me of the ground comabt from Star Wars Empire at War crossed with Starship Troopers. Command a squad of space marines tasked with battling an overwhelming alien horde. Pretty fun campaign (if a bit of a predictable story), plus an endless mode. Not exceedingly difficult, but definitely challenging enough to make you think tactically and keep you on your strategic toes. Somewhat limited replayability makes the sticker price hard to recommend (unless your bread and butter is RTS), but it regularly goes on sale for less than $5, which it is absolutely worth!

The whole things just a massive labor of love from a relatively small indy studio. At one point it was an RPG Maker game that was delightfully well polished in terms of story, art, and environment. After the devs got tired to rpg maker limitations, they ported the whole thing to Unity and re-released it as a free Enhanced Edition update. Childhood me played the shit out of GBA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and it very much scratches that JRPG itch.
