1. Hell yeah

2. The Wedge and lost sand sound like locations in a fantasy novel

Deburring tool is so great, but be careful, you can go too deep and mess up the edge.

I dunno what kind of books you like, but I was in the same boat and tried to go back to the type of books I previously enjoyed (high fantasy), but found I no longer had the mental energy for it. The thing that got me back was switching to a genre with a lighter tone. Something easy to read, or fast to read (or both). I call them “popcorn” books. Recently was in a minor slump, and started Dungeon Crawler Carl and that got me back, for example. Even Novellas are great. The Danielle Cain books by Margaret Killjoy are awesome short reads. Also, it is fine to pick something up, decide you don’t like it, and move on. I never got the finish even if i hate it mentality

I printed the deck box on 2 different printers, and the one with the better resolution definitely needed a little bit of extra room, but it was pretty easy. I just made the inside of the top .5mm larger than the outside of the bottom. No sanding needed! I use a deburring tool for removing brims and a heat gun for removing any stringing, but no other post processing.

The earrings are all printed as one piece. 2 of my printers are 4 color printers, so that makes things like that a lot easier. Here is an image from Onshape:

I’ve been been trying to design a proper case for my keyboard. Currently it’s just effectively two 3d-printed flat plates. While simple to design those plates, it was a nice opportunity to learn how to use FreeCAD and learn to appreciate parametric designs!

Hell yeah! I tried FreeCAD early on, but it doesn’t work how my brain does. My next big learning thing is going to be Blender for more sculptural designs

Some jewelry, some plant pots, a lot of gaming stuff. I use a 3d CAD software called OnShape. Autodesk is kind if the standard, but I run Linux and OnShaoe is web based.

Here are a few things I’ve designed

Magic deck box:

This is not quite the finished product. Added a notch and groove to make it more secure

Dice Tower:

Mario pipe pot designed specifically for carnivorous plants:

Some nerdy earrings shaped like the outlines of a standard set of RPG dice:

my dog made it through surgery okay last month and that I am trying to learn linux server stuff again and actually feel like I’m getting it a bit more

Hell yes

Been doing a lot of 3D design lately and have been noticeably improving. Feels good

Too Many Tabs - A comedy history podcast. Every week they pick a topic to deep dive on, usually a horrible person that influenced how the US is today.

Even More News - Comedy news podcast that does a good overview of news for the week. From the same folks that do Some More News, bit not scripted and out of character

Oh, lol, my bad

I don’t think you get to choose the boat. I is part of a ferry system in South America, and varies depending on origin and destination. They don’t charge more for the electric boat, it is just now part of their fleet

Looks like it runs good, but some text is small on the deck. https://www.protondb.com/app/2679460?device=steamDeck

The switch 2 version removed depth of field options and has lower red textures.

Seems like both run well, just depends on how much you are into the graphics

For some reason the repost didn’t include the original link. Here ya go: https://prensaobrera.com/english/there-is-no-way-forward-for-the-working-class-under-capitalism-we-need-revolutionary-organizations-capable-of-destroying-it

I played the first one. It was good enough up until the end when they blamed everything on the main character’s PTSD.

Historic doesn’t just mean old. We have plenty of cities with history. Tons of historic racism, colonialism, and slavery across the nation

Ah, the classic grade school, “Nuh-uh, you.” Good one to try after all else fails. How about this for clarity: This is my last response to you because you seem to be willfully obtuse. Judging by the use of therapy speak and viewpoint that it is the people wearing skirts at fault, I’d also guess you are not a safe person to be around. Please do better in the future, but I am done with you.

There is more than one reason to avoid AI developed software. We have no idea if they used a local model, or are paying one of the shit companies pushing AI into everything. We don’t know the skill level of the dev and if they have the ability to quality check the AI code. We don’t know if there are potential security vulnerabilities because of AI code (hopefully less likely in this kind of project). That is all in addition to the greater issues with AI.

The article is a little vague on the AI use in this project, and does not seem to tell the whole story. Here is the disclosure of the usage from the git project page:

"AI coding tools were used in developing and debugging this port. My focus has been on matching the original P.T.: comparing builds with PS4 references, identifying discrepancies, testing gameplay and prioritizing fixes.

The project uses the original game assets from the player’s own PS4 copy. Optional upscalers and neural rendering use machine-learning models when enabled."

Still pretty vague.

I often do because they are the only person I’ve seen use and I don’t interact with them much. Not to mention non-native readers and people with difficulty reading. I get the intent behind it, but at this point it seems like throwing a wrench into a tornado.

I only responded after you called them mentally ill. Your initial response was still a command to fix it, which is still being a jerk, but didn’t really warrant responding since it was pretty obvious that you were kinda trolling. Saying something like, “hey, your use of the thorn is obnoxious and makes it difficult for non-native readers and folks with reading disabilities” probably would have sparked a less adversarial discussion

You said they had a mental illness, which is being an ass and just not appropriate. Your replacement was not with established replacements though. You chose numbers that correspond to letters randomly. If you had done some l33t it would have correlated a bit better.

I get it, it is annoying to a lot of people. That being said, engaging and coming up with some salient points would have been a better course instead of going straight to being aggressive. People might not have been so keen to respond if that had been the case

The difference between what you did and what San does are pretty obvious. The thorn is an established character with a sound that has been associated with it for hundreds of years. Yes it is no longer used, but it is not a garbled mess of random characters like your example. It is a replacement of 2 specific letter with one character that represents the same sound they make. A little annoying? For some folks, yeah. Worthy of being a total ass about it? Absolutely not.
