Been taking turns with my SO playing Bore Blasters. It’s a vampire survivor like, I think, but the experience is smoother. It’s not something I’d have played for long on my own, since the constant rewards and positive feedback overwhelms my brain a bit, but taking turns it’s great fun.
Also started ship of fools and creatures of Ava, don’t mind either so far.
I keep wanting to replay Silksong but I should wait until the first DLC comes out…
Pausing Backpack Hero a bit and playing American Arcadia. It’s a short story-driven game with some puzzles. 2 hours in, so far really liking it. I don’t know what makes me invested in a character, but this game’s got it.
Otherwise it’s been a week of mostly board games, which is nice, since I mostly play video games by myself.
Portal 2 with a friend, after a two-year long hiatus. Looks like we accidentally went to the last level after level 2, watched the ending cutscene, now we’re back to playing level 3 lol.
Backpack Hero is my current daily game. It’s a nice fun roguelite although I sometimes wish it was a little harder. Taking a break from Hades II for a while even though I am possibly one step away from finishing the main story.
Please do share your results later!
My SO is very into origami, so I was thinking about getting his help to make more patterns. It would be nice to see others explore the idea too.
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.
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.
I don’t know if it’s actually related, but I’ve read that asking people to draw a clock face is a simple way to identify some brain problems
Quick screening for dementia, according to this
Edit: I guess this means most of the AI has ‘Conceptual Deficits’, pretty accurate lol
I think I’m doing the final fight of Silksong, although there are a few things I plan to go back to finish afterwards.
Just bought Hades 2 yesterday, but not sure when I’ll play it. After Silksong I’m probably going to play something less action heavy for a while.
It feels quite annoying to me.
Still playing Silksong, I should probably be getting to Act 3 now, but I’m procrastinating and trying to find more hidden places.
Got an infection and couldn’t get off the bed much for a couple days, played lots of Silksong. Would have been bored to death otherwise
Second this. We have a Core One at work which was upgraded from an MK4. Has almost 1 k hours print time, broke down once (mostly due to my negligence), otherwise very accurate and reliable. Not very happy with their customer support though, they diagnosed the problem incorrectly and suggested I change the wrong part. Others generally have a better opinion of their support, so maybe mine was an outlier.
I have the qidi q1 with about 250 h print time and it’s been great. Quick and simple with pla and abs, had to dial in linear advance for petg. I do a lot of toys and HueForge, quite happy with its ability to do small details. It has some small issues but overall very good especially with the price point.
The q2 is supposed to support their decently released MMU system, but I haven’t bothered reading about it.
Got a steam deck in preparation of Silksong, having fun playing Untitled Geese Game, the couch coop is awesome. Also thinking I will try to finally finish Portal, hopefully before Thursday
Card holders for board games. Normally a thick deck tends to slip around, and the bottom card can be hard to pick up. We now keep a few holders for the standard sizes, and use them if a game needs any. So convenient.
I don’t understand this on so many levels…
I would change the difficulty and then regret it later, which I did with Furi and Jedi fallen order.
Furi’s combat is so good, and the easy mode is well designed too (still challenging, enemies just have less complex movesets and possibly fewer phases), but I wish I had taken a break and fought through the game properly. Now that I’ve finished the game on easy and seen the ending, I don’t think I ever will revisit it.
I definitely want to build a Voron myself someday, but I’m now looking at getting a Qidi q1p first so that I have something to use, and can print the printable parts myself. It sounds like I’d need to take a week off work to build a Voron
Finished the final boss of Grime last week, trying to get the areas I missed before. Not sure I’ll finish everything though, there’s just way too much platforming in the end game 🤣 plus I already missed one of the endings.
Haven’t figured out what to play next, but since I have about 50 unplayed games in my library, I’m sure I’ll manage something.
