100% dude. I was right there with you back in the day. My first “online” experience was a net game of M1 over MacTCP to my buddy down the street. After it came out all my Macs had a copy of Infinity and I wasted countless hours in Forge making wild maps. It was a great time in my life. I still play Aleph One now and then to kill time because its like a warm blanket to me now.

I will definitely give this new Marathon a shot at some point, but this gameplay is just not where I am at. I don’t really fit into this new world of online experiences, maybe I’m just getting old and Marathon is moving past me for a new age. I guess that’s fair. Its just hard to see as a die hard fan. Oh well.

See ya starside.

I wish they had just made a single player Marathon sequel… oh well. I will definitely give it a shot but confidence is low :(

Not to defend SC too much, and full disclosure I don’t play it. But I have friends who DO play it and it seems like they are having a lot of fun?

They aren’t evangelists for the game or anything, so its not a fanboy situation. They just play it a lot, and with lots of other people. They have an online community and meet up IRL for events. Post vids of their exploits. It seems fun to me? I asked them about the bugs and stuff and they fully admit it is buggy and things are broken, they make no apologies for it. They figure out workarounds and share it with the crew. I don’t know, these guys are usually pretty critical of games but they seem happy weirdly. Maybe a cult?

There is no fucking way that I am ever going to pay for a fake star ship or anything so I’m not even considering it. And the entire funding model of the game seems batshit insane to me. But to me it seems like the idea that the game is unplayable doesn’t really match the reality? Its clearly not a good value proposition at all.

Its weird I know I shouldn’t but I kind of love NMS. Its such a broad but shallow game but I cant help but spend hours on it. Being able to just jet off to a new system and explore is excellent.

Not an expert but you may want to look at your z-offset? Maybe you’re a little high off the bed?

I print my own drywall anchors all the time and they work really well, at least for my applications!

I use this model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1288793

Love my electric razor. It’s 25 years old and still kicking. Never replaced the blades or battery. Ride or die electric forever. You can take it from my cold dead hands!

A lot of great Trek prints in here, I couldn’t help but share my neverending quest to develop a working TNG tricorder (has sensors, lights and sounds). Im still working on this project but this photo is of the most recent iteration.

That looks to be the one!

Some amazon no name one. It’s a 15.5mm diameter one.

Thats a brilliant idea and I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it.

Here is the STL if anyone wants to remix it or whatever.

Great minds! Appreciate the advice all the same.

It’s definitely crying out for that ability. Maybe also with a little tab and ratchet system so it clicks as you spin 🤔

I have 3D Printing folder with all my .blend files, and a folder for STLs. For important projects I will bundle everything in its own folder. PCB and Enclosure design both get their own folders for KiCad and Blender files, then there is a fabrication folder containing gerbers/BOM files, as well as STLs or any documents for stickers/etc that may be needed.

I usually will use a version tracking system like git for big projects that use that file tree as well.

👍

As a seethingly jealous ender 3 peasant who is still spending most of his time keeping my printer working with kludges and duct tape; it’s nice to know Bambu owners are human after all and still run into problems.

Hope you get it sorted and are back printing soon! 🖖

You can have my ender 3 when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

I too would like to hear some hot takes on core xy

To my knowledge the only way to “turn off” the menu bar is to run a program in full screen mode on a mac.

You need to calm down.

Maybe its less like a number as we know it, and more like an ant poem or other mnemonic representation?

Ensign Sonya Gomez over here thanking the replicator

TNG “Q Who?”

SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.

LAFORGE: We don’t ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.

SONYA: Well, since it’s listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.
