Right? I’ll never understand why they don’t go with Super Wii or Wii Advanced, as those were established “hey here’s the next gen of this system” names.
“Ushered in by the police” CNN is a failed news organization for allowing this to be said unchallenged
This was a really cool read, thank you for sharing it!
Stopping the use of a word that’s hit Kleenex level of saturation is a bigger deal than overturning 175 thousand bullshit convictions? That’s a hot take
You….want them to be able to sell out in the future?
Totally get it and that’s why I’d gone with Creality initially, but then I kept having issues and my BIL and coworker both picked up P1Ss and it just worked and that’s apparently the cutover point for my moral stance haha
It’s not like I even have anything planned that needs the extra space, but going from 12x12 to 10x10 was a bit of a shock haha
Comparison of the two, green is the P1S and red is the K1M, and you can see the lumps and funky first layer that I couldn't get tightened up. As an added benefit with the AMS now, I can do the dates with a flush dual color easily, instead of my prior method of a manual filament swap and negative space for the characters to show the first color.
Just switched from a K1M to a P1S and it's night and day
I mostly loved my K1 Max but could not get the x-axis dialed in properly, so any time I tried to print anything with a circle it would come out a bit lumpy. I'd sold my CR-10 and upgraded because I was tired of the constant tinkering and just wanted a tool that, while it will need maintenance and the like, would mostly just do what I wanted. Also my BIL got a P1S and I was hugely envious of the AMS system haha.
Luckily a buddy was looking to upgrade as well and is buying my K1M off me so I ordered a P1S and just got it set up today and.....it's just working and I'm so happy. Benchys between the two look about the same, although the textured build plate gives a nice bottom layer, but I printed a couple trinkets my wife likes to hand out at Disneyland and it's just night and day better quality.
I'm sure I got a bit unlucky with the K1M and lucky with the P1S but it was amazing just printing stuff and it came out fine the first time.
Could be, could be. This is just anecdotal on my part where I’ve helped people get up to speed and they’ve told me they basically never used a computer growing up. Maybe they don’t count Chromebooks as part of that group, dunno.
I work in tech at a credit union and we’ve hit a weird full circle point where the new folks entering the job market need a lot of training on using a computer for this reason. It’s been very bizarre being back at a point where I have to explain things like how to right click because a lot of people have grown up only using phone/tablets.

Comes through as a gif for me on Voyager app fwiw
Aww man, you didn’t have to shit on the community on your way out the door; it could have been such a graceful see-ya. 😕
This may not be the community for you 😂
That’s super fair and a trend I could agree with. I’m tentatively optimistic from rumors that the Switch 2 will be fully backward compatible and have a shared virtual store, which has been such a sore spot for me compared to how Xbox runs it. Fingers crossed for more competition though!
Edit: also, thank you for the detailed response, I appreciated it!
The Switch has sold over 140 million units, the third highest selling console of all time, and unlike most every other one out there was turning a profit on every unit instead of being a loss leader. Why would Nintendo think about going software only with those kind of numbers in their pocket?
Just a pin for 1-4 gallons, and then random shirts and windbreakers here and there!
Oh man that’s rad! I got a little pin….
Which obvi not why I do it, but yours is way cooler haha
Started putting together the Porphyrion and uuhhhh he's going to be a big boy
I knew it was a larger model but didn't realize how much larger until I got one of the legs together.
Trying to add text to the bottom of prints and the quality is inconsistent
Hoping someone has an idea on this!
I’ve been making little Disney trinkets for my wife to hand out when we go to Disneyland, and feedback has been positive enough that I thought I’d try a little Etsy store to make some filament money.
Initially I added it into my base template in TinkerCAD but it kept coming out real bad, so I’ve been trying adding the text within Creality Print, and usually it looks pretty good but it can be wildly inconsistent. The top two are from a batch of five where I set one up and then duplicated it. The middle two are from a batch of eleven, all duplicated from the first five that looked nice, and then the bottom two are that same batch of five that I tried printing a second time and it turned out way worse.
Any idea on why it varies so much and what I could do to resolve it?
Any recommendations for refillable PLA filament?
Does anyone have a brand of PLA they like that offers refillable spools? I'm digging Overture and Elegoo using cardboard spools but if I could get/print a refillable one and buy just the filament itself going forward that would be an even nicer solution.
Squeaked my 9x9 in, it was a good year for games.
It was down to the wire but got my 9x9 done for the year! It was an eclectic mix of games this year and there were some that I wish I'd played more often just didn't make the time.
Quick thoughts on them all:
- The Crew - Really fun, starts out getting you in the groove and feeling smart about your team and your choices and then quickly ramps up. I'd like to be able to play it with the same people a bit more often as too many times there'd be one or more first timer and we'd start from mission one for them to get in the groove.
- Dungeon Rush - A super quick and fun reaction/slap game. Great to start or end an evening of board games.
- Frosthaven - Huge, complex, ridiculous in it's scope. Love this game so much and can't wait until our next session in a few days when we should have our first retirement.
- No Thanks - chill and great to play while hanging out at a bar. Some of the funniest on purpose or inadvertent hate drafting you can get.
- Sequence - My wife loves this one and I haven't really been a fan, but we've been playing it more 1v1 recently and I think it shines a lot more that way versus as a group game. Still not my favorite but it's grown on me a lot this year.
- Space Base - One of our favorite games, year after year. Still my top roll and collect card game.
- Taverns of Tiefenthal - A great follow up to another of our favorite games, Quacks of Quedlenberg, and one that was initially a "yeah, this is pretty fun" but really shines as you add more modules in. The expansion especially took it to the next level I feel.
- Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West - This was a very pleasant surprise for me. TTR has always been a 'eh it's fine' game for me but my wife loves all of them, and I love legacy games, so I jumped on this for her when it released. It's so much fun, full stop. Takes the TTR mechanics and does some really interesting stuff with them, and every game is adding something fun and new. Big recommend.
- Whirling Witchcraft - Another good quick game that has a great engine building while screwing your neighbor mechanic.
Honorable mentions:
- Aoens End Legacy of Gravehold - Got seven plays in and it's hard but so fun. Hoping we can finish this one up in 2024.
- Twilight Imperium - by hours my most played game this year, but that's because the four games of it added up to more than 10 games of Frosthaven. So much planning to get a game of it going but nothing really hits like it for ridiculous scope.
Finally got a game in, first one since Feb of last year, missed it so much!
My superfriend Naas-Rohka were able to snag a down to the wire fifth round victory; first time playing as them and they were ridiculously fun. We’re working on getting another game on the calendar asap!
Stroganoff round 2 and a middle eastern chicken and beans!
Back for another round of beef stroganoff because we share prepped with a friend last time and didn’t end up with as much as we’d like haha.
Also trying out this chicken stew recipient and it tastes great but the beans kind of fell apart in it. So it’s hearty but I want to give it another try eventually to see about keeping them more bean-like.
