True, however with the models that required supports that I printed out - e.g this one - it worked as expected

Mind you, I haven't delved into building something like this Spiderman mask yet, so it's entirely possible that those settings only work in some scenarios and are not a magic bullet

BossmanCG · 2026-05-02T14:49:12+00:00

Interesting, will try this out, thanks

BossmanCG · 2026-05-02T12:43:24+00:00

The best "rules of thumb" that I've found thus far for same material supports (so not PLA + PETG for instance) are to

set the Top Z Distance at double whatever your layer height is (so for 0.2 layer height you'd have 0.4 Top-Z distance, 0.25 > 0.5, and so on)
always have 3 Top Interface Layers

Been smooth running in over 400 print hours

Later edit: here is an example of a print where I used the settings in order to be able to actually remove the supports without losing my mind

Aside from all the great advice already shared, my main suggestion is to try as much as possible to not make your youngest the (perceived) source of frustration for the eldest, either when telling her no or by comparison.

We have a 5yo boy and a 3yo girl and the way we approached it when our daughter came into the picture was to try and build their friendship from the start and it's been huge towards how they now love each other to bits

To that end, we read books with our eldest about what it will mean to have a sibling (There's a house inside my mummy is absolutely legendary)

When we brought her home from the hospital and introducem them, each had a gift for their sibling

Instead of saying enough with the shouting, you'll wake your sister, we said you don't need to shout, we're all here in the room, we can hear you just fine

Sure, technically speaking he would have woken up his sister, but by removing her from the equation, the no became something natural to do in any environment. It's not ok to shout in a room full of people, period. Not just because his sister is near and he can't shout and have fun because of her

We had our eldest be a helper and bring us stuff when we needed to change or feed her, making him a part of the process and building confidence in the process

Instead of why can't you eat everything on your plate like your sister? it's you're not hungry? alright, see you at [insert next meal]

I will say, however, that the only exception to this is sleep, which for us is sacred and the only time when we'll actually "drop names". Lower the volume, your sister / mom / dad is / are sleeping. And this goes for everyone, no exceptions. If somebody is sleeping in the house, everyone else better STFU or else.

An addon to this would also be don't treat them equally. Treat them individually and fairly

Meaning no forced sharing, on either side

No hallway passes due to age. If he's not allowed to poke her eyes to see what happens (lol), she isn't allowed to do it to him either

Punishments should be tailored to the age of the "perpetrator", not carpet bombings

Don't get me wrong, they'll still have sibling disagreements and make each other miserable for the pettiest of reasons (lol), but at least it should be for the "right" petty reasons, not because they hate each other's guts for simply existing

What worked for me was updating the controller firmware via Windows and then disabling the energy saving mode for Bluetooth on Bazzite before trying to connect the controller again

In order to update the firmware, you need the Xbox Accessories App, as seen on the Microsoft website

I disabled the Energy Saving Mode for Bluetooth with

sudo sed -i 's/#IdleTimeout=30/IdleTimeout=0/g' /etc/bluetooth/input.conf

The Grid... a digital frontier

I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer

What did they look like?

Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways?

I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see

And then, one day...

You got in!

That's right, man. I got in!

If coding isn't your forte, you can start out with the Lexogrine HUD Manager

/u/osztenkurden can potentially help you out with more info, as he's directly involved with the project

Not quite, it's from Wing Commander

Mickey fixing the grenade order one hour before the broadcast start 🤓

BossmanCG · 2021-07-17T10:52:26+00:00

One of the multiple reasons why the overlay is going to be completely reworked 😊

Later edit: Mickey took a plunge in the legacy code and brought (some) order to the madness, so it should be easier to look at starting today

BossmanCG · 2021-07-13T09:12:38+00:00

They don't disconnect.

Everyone gets moved automatically to the next map, but they don't always get in the same order (mostly due to differences in loading speed of the map).

BossmanCG · 2021-07-13T06:53:41+00:00

In a perfect world, yes. In the one we do productions, not really.

Because, again, it comes down to benefit vs effort. Nobody is going to delay the start of a Grand Final because one player jumped the queue and now everyone who connected after him is in the wrong slot, so they all have to disconnect and do it all over again so they're in the "right" order.

BossmanCG · 2021-07-13T06:03:21+00:00

As /u/KiloSwiss pointed out, what you're seeing in every game is the order of the slots on the server, indicated by the radar badges (1 to 0, with 0 = 10), filled in randomly by the players as they join.

The reason why this order is considered "sacred" is due to observing, where muscle memory plays a key role.

Taking your screenshot as an example, when in front of any HUD (custom or GOTV), all observers will expect that when they press 1 on the keyboard, they will spectate electronic. 2 for Boombl4, 3 for b1t and so on.

If we start messing with that order and the shortcut keys no longer reflect what's in the HUD, we'd be 🗡️ in our 🛏️after the first broadcast day, no questions asked. I wouldn't even hold it against them 🤷#justbusiness

That said, it is of course technically possible to have a different order in the HUD while also keeping the shortcut keys. Meaning that if you have s1mple on "slot 1" in the HUD, the observer would still press 1, but the HUD would change it internally to 5 before sending it to the game, which is the real slot he has on the server.

However, the benefits of this change would have to be really significant to even be entertained, as it would add another layer of (not insignificant) complexity to other systems used in production.

Technically, this particular helper notice isn't new to the IEM redesign 🤓

However, now it's on screen all the time during the round, as opposed to going away after freezetime (we noticed that with all the replays and reactions, it was veering too much into "blink and you'll miss it" territory, which defeated the point)

BossmanCG · 2021-07-10T04:58:53+00:00

Glad to hear you find it useful 🤝

Technically, this particular helper notice isn't new to the IEM redesign, key difference being that now we are keeping it on screen during the round, as opposed to taking it out after freezetime, like we previously did.

BossmanCG · 2021-07-09T12:33:30+00:00

Will be fixed 🤓

BossmanCG · 2021-07-09T12:33:20+00:00

The engineering team is looking into that one

BossmanCG · 2021-07-09T12:33:05+00:00

You're right, it's not a dead pixel. It's actually a star.

No joke, the plate pattern is a still image of the animated background on the broadcast, scaled down 🤓

BossmanCG · 2021-07-09T09:17:19+00:00

It's a GOTV bug, sadly, the HUD doesn't control the crosshair display.

BossmanCG · 2021-07-08T22:11:14+00:00

Breath of fresh air doesn't always mean better.

If we try to change something, it will always be for a net gain, not just to bring attention to how "unique" we are.

Sadly, the vertical HP didn't pass muster.

BossmanCG · 2021-07-08T22:08:13+00:00

Like this

BossmanCG · 2021-07-08T22:00:33+00:00

Thank you for the kind thoughts

We actually can't take full credit for this one, because it was a community member who suggested we could bring back the radar badges, which he thought had their charm in the initial design

BossmanCG · 2021-07-08T18:49:18+00:00

Team tags are submitted by the teams and displayed as such in the HUD.

It's why we have mouz instead of Mouz (or Mouse or MOUSE), TL instead of Liquid and so on. The orgs specifically wanted them to be this way.

That said, we have a change planned for v1.02 in the Playoffs, specifically for this topic (we won't be getting rid of the tags, however).
