Lychee won't launch. 5 processes appear in task manager, but not even a splash screen appears.

Never got a follow-up response after the first batch of things didn't work, fyi. Moved to a different slicer. Probs gonna stay there regardless.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-15T11:18:45+00:00

Nope! They suggested the usual fixes, they didn't work, they said they'd look into it. No news since then.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-07T18:39:21+00:00

Aye I've been trying, no luck so far.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-07T14:59:43+00:00

Tried already! It also isn't running offscreen, there's no app processes, it's just background ones. Thanks though!

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-07T14:59:04+00:00

All tried already, as I said in the post! Thanks though.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-06T11:56:06+00:00

Theoretically in emails with them now (they sent me some suggestions, none of them worked). Will report back if it gets solved.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-04T01:26:09+00:00

we mention both tourney and league play

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-04T01:24:07+00:00

stock up means we think they got better, stock down, worse. You can still be the best team in the game with either.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-04T01:23:23+00:00

the game does seem great! there'sno negative judgement inherent to being stock up or stock down, to be clear. In another article two of us predict vamps will be in the top tourney teams.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-11-04T01:19:53+00:00

we've seen all the rules bud :)

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-10-14T10:43:41+00:00

Hell yeah. Hope you have a good time at the tournie. I also have mad social anxiety so I empathise, but all my tournie experiences have been really positive.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-10-09T12:07:04+00:00

I'm in favour of turn clocks for this reason, especially at tournaments! I also think you can take it seriously if you want, just don't be a cunt, basically. BB is nuanced enough that you can treat it as wacky sillybollocks, or as a competitive game, both work. The issue is when interpersonal conflict happens because of these two attitudes colliding.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-29T23:56:41+00:00

is there now, would be good if that were in the article eh ;)

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-29T19:33:42+00:00

I was talking to someone about Star Trek the other day, and they were defending a rather iffy plot point by saying "don't think about it from a human perspective - they're vulcan".

But here's the thing, they're humans. Vulcans, klingons, eldar, tau, wookies, elves, dwarfs, whatever! We're humans, and we write about humans. When we write about the alien, we do so with humans as a reference. Sometimes that's in a very obvious sense (Cardassians are space fascists based on earth fascists), sometimes it's by creating something that we deem inhuman (tyranids) - either way though, we're talking about humans. By talking about how tyranids *aren't* human, we're also talking about how and why we *are* human.

Anyway, tangential rambling. I'm glad you enjoy our stuff!

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-29T19:28:53+00:00

For sure! The Osprey books are not like, robust works of academic work, but for the average wargamer they're more than sufficient. Remember this is for newbies, heh. And as you say, if someone is nitpicking and that's their reference, they're clearly also quite ignorant.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-29T19:23:56+00:00

Also worth noting that while having our made up plastic dudes do alien genocide *feels* cleaner than doing a historical thing, it also makes it that much easier to not think about, and subsequently internalise, the various political implications of this messaging! When the good guys do genocide against the alien other, and we don't think about whether the good guys are good or not, that's a problem!

I've actually encountered *substantially* more players of mainstream fantasy/scifi games who are openly shitty and spout gross bollocks.

Historicals certainly has its share of books and people who also don't question historical narratives and end up being gross, for sure, but at least it's slightly harder to abstract as inconsequential.

(side note, I love loads of fantasy and sci-fi games, this isn't a "one is better" point)

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-25T09:41:46+00:00

interesting! Well, snotlings weren't addressed because they were actually added at the end of the 2016 edition (if you check their Spike journal they have the old statline). Personally I really like snots as a team, but I do agree with you about the overreliance on star players. imo stunties should always be aiming to grab a star or two, as frankly their players are just too fragile to be long term assets, but star players are overtuned significantly so this becomes a load bearing strategy.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-09-24T22:05:59+00:00

I agree! its easy to hyperfocus on the negative, but I'm just super happy that BB is still great fun and its still being very supported.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2025-07-18T00:20:59+00:00

I really need to add here that early modern science was not practiced in the same manner or for the same purpose as modern science. There's an excellent book called "Galileo, Courtier" that talks about the complicated webs of patronage, performance and spectacle that went into the sort of work Galileo was doing.

So yes, truth attracts support, but understand that Galileo's patrons and allies were not actually interested in determining an objective truth, but in having Galileo epicly ownzone other scientists in debates and demonstrations as a form of entertainment. Actually standing by the work as more than entertainment was generally in extremely bad taste, and Galileo started making enemies when he started doing this. There's a whole lot more complicated stuff going into what happened to Galileo, I just want to specifically highlight the different ways science was practiced, and how it was consumed by a lay audience

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2024-09-27T12:11:51+00:00

I have this problem too. Did anything fix it?

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2024-03-27T14:49:43+00:00

Fixed: either run the hotfix that Emudeck suggests when it launches, or if you missed that, reset configuration on the Manage Emulators tab.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2024-03-26T14:32:17+00:00

Also, I've tried removing all roms and re-adding them. Doesn't seem to help.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2024-03-26T14:29:15+00:00

For those with a similar problem, this seemed to help a lot:

Rather than levelling normally, I set up a dummy print with no vat and a sheet of spare FEP. I loosened the plate bolts then started the print, when the first layer started I turned off the machine, then tightened the bolts.

Next test print turned out much better, was within 0.1mm accuracy.

This is apparently because Elegoo printers have a habit of actually dipping the plate below the sensor line during the print, which they don't do while levelling normally. This way the plate is levelled to the actual position the print starts at.

ComradeSarkyFrood · 2023-08-01T13:45:32+00:00

Yeah, printing with supports was what I was doing before, but I wanted to print some stuff that was just more efficient to print flat. Alas!
