[MEGATHREAD] What did you buy in the Steam Summer Sale?
  • Megaquarium, Big Pharma, Bus Simulator 21.

    All of them are solid.

  • Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset?
  • Wait, sorry. What's supposed to touch the bed? The hot end or the ABL sensor?

  • Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset?
  • Yeah, this was my assumption (the probe should hit before) - I just wasn’t sure if they were supposed to offset just enough with the adjustable probe to end up being in-line with the nozzle. The instructions are… not great.

    Also - sorry, when you say leveling.. do you mean that I should be leveling the bed against the ABL sensor or the hot end?

  • Should we make communities for specific games?
  • bleh shitposts belong in meme subs

  • Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset?

    I just installed the CR Touch kit on my Ender 3 Pro. Everything is wired up, but I can't seem to get the Z-Axis offset correct. My process is:

    1. Auto-Home
    2. Step the Z-Axis down until there's slight resistance on a sheet of paper between the nozzle and bed
    3. Take that value (Roughly -1.3) and put it into the Z-Axis Offset value
    4. Level bed

    All of this works, but when the bed is leveling, the CR Touch needle is hitting the bed way earlier than the nozzle by maybe a few mm. When I go to print, there doesn't seem to be adhesion in some places on the glass bed.

    What am I doing wrong? :(

    Any suggestions for fictional sports management games?
  • I'm really turned off at the realistic sport aspect of it, hence why I'm looking for a fictional sport. Something like Pyre or Blaseball.

  • Any suggestions for fictional sports management games?

    I'm looking for a game similar to OOTP with a Blaseball theme. It doesn't have to be baseball, I really am just looking for a high-level sports management game where I am managing a team or a league on a fictional sport.

    Any suggestions?

    Should we make communities for specific games?
  • I'm conflicted. While I wish I could go to a targeted community for games I am playing, my experience with Reddit is that these end up being filled with shitposts and memes.

  • Anyone else crazy enough to build their own retro-gaming machine?
  • I picked up a little bartop cabinet from a local arcade convention a few years back for a few hundred bucks. Ended up ripping out the Pandora's Box (overseas piracy device with a bunch of dumped ROMs) and threw a Raspberry Pi into it. Got everything wired up with RetroPi.. then realized I needed to add more buttons.

    It's been in that state for years lol

  • What's everyone playing right now?
  • Working my way through Nova Lands, Diablo 4, FF16, and Big Pharma :)

  • How should we be using Lemmy?
  • Oh my god, same issue here. I'm just ready to use Lemmy (or KBin, or anything) and not constantly read how much better it is than Reddit and how Reddit is going down a death spiral. Let's just move on and provide our own content.

  • Potty training headaches!
  • hah we gave up on the starter potty real fast. We're still struggling through a full acceptance of potty, but every step forward is a good step!

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)
  • Yeah.. not sure what they're talking about.

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)
  • I trialed BackBlaze and quickly realized the apps are really geared towards desktop devices, the mobile apps seem to just be read-only.

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)
  • undefined> What is your reason for changing services?

    I'm trying to decouple myself from major providers. I'm not dead-set on it, if iCloud works (which, it does), then I'm not opposed to keeping it.

    I went through a big push to move my stuff off Google - so photos and stuff are next.

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)
  • Yeah - there are PLENTY of options for me, but I really want something that auto-syncs behind the scenes for me. Having to manual do it means I'm just gonna forget. I need the app to take that mental load.

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)
  • Excuse me, I thought I was to type out all of the file contents in each BTC payment to your wallet? Are those files retained??

  • Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows)

    I’m looking for a SaaS to offload photos and files/backups. I don’t want to have to do a manual sync or process - I am too used to iCloud photo backup at this point, I would be paying for something I wouldn’t be using.

    Potty training headaches!

    Not really looking for advice, not really venting.. just wanted to share my experiences.

    Our 3 year old is relatively potty trained at home, but at school is hit-or-miss. She's slipping back a bit in regression at home, but not having to change diapers anymore is so worth it!

    [Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.
  • We can discuss where the money comes from, but the idea isn't pie-in-the-sky wild. I don't disagree with you.

  • [Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.
  • It makes sense if you think about it (assuming my thoughts are correct, I'm in the US). If you're employed, you are contributing through your taxes. Just because you're unemployed, it doesn't mean your contributions pause. Now, should they? That's a good question, but the current implementation makes sense. I imagine it does incentivize people to look for employment.

  • Hammerwatch 2 released a demo that ends on Sunday
  • Thanks for this! I hadn't played Hammerwatch or Heroes, so I wanted to give it a shot.

    Is this something more along the lines of Magicka? Or a less rogueli[tk]e Children of Morta?

  • Which apps do you use for notes and reminders?
  • Hey, I'm glad it's working for you! I wish it just were more accessible financially :(

  • Which apps do you use for notes and reminders?
  • Man, Omnifocus (and most of the Omni suite) seems so good, but it's so expensive. I absolutely am not opposed to paying for services, but a $10/mo subscription service or a $50+ app seems crazy for a task tracker.

  • Trouble with Octaprint & Ender 3 Pro

    I'm struggling with getting my Ender 3 Pro connected to my Raspberry Pi 4 via USB. The connection just doesn't seem to be established. From what I've read, it could be any number of things.. but I was hoping someone here had some input.

    Thanks!
