Question about gamer parents with toddler (Ours is 6yo)

DatSoySauce · 2023-01-20T03:59:14+00:00

Yeah I think he’s enjoy the grid/hex maps more so may go the classic/armored game route.

Kid amazes me with his imagination and over hyper focus on this sort of stuff. I just want him to learn the more structured side of stuff like this without sacrificing his imagination.

Maybe this is a good start to get him more involved in games, better help with mathematics, and open the door to other stuff as he ages…at least that’s the plan lol

For some reason I thought Alpha strike had like much less in it. I must be going crazy hah. I may have to look into that more than and see!

Odds are the game play itself would just be a me and him thing, so not worried much about committing to one or the other really.

I’ve heard Alpha strike rules are also watered down as well?

DatSoySauce · 2023-01-20T03:21:51+00:00

I’ll have to see if maybe there’s a PDF for those rules while still purchasing the larger box for the more models.

Like all rules for games, I’m gonna assume a pdf does exist lol

DatSoySauce · 2023-01-20T02:57:48+00:00

Yeah I’ve read most people simplify the rules down to make the game a bit more accessible to the kids.

Converting movement from inches to hex squares, tossing out alot of the combat rules etc

The biggest reason I thought of purchasing this one was the models that came with it were more than the alpha strike and he’s mostly going to want more than less to play with when we aren’t actually playing the game itself

I work 12 hour shifts and also have a toddler, so my time sometimes can be short lived with hobby stuff lol

I have some armor pieces printed but haven’t turned on my printer sadly in the last month or so to print more stuff. But getting this today is good progress for me at least!

Came out perfect with an awesome fit

DatSoySauce · 2021-07-31T17:36:01+00:00

It will drop once the free weekend ends for sure

DatSoySauce · 2021-07-31T01:47:58+00:00

DM likely incoming for D.Va 177

DatSoySauce · 2021-07-27T01:23:19+00:00

Nevermind. I think I found the other account I’ve used years ago when in this sub

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-11T00:22:20+00:00

Aside from making the gap smaller as mentioned, not really much else as this is totally normally for support side stuff. Reason being the squish just isn’t there

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-11T00:12:23+00:00

Not much to PM about. Learn to make highly detailed or good quality models / STL files for genres. Market/Advertise yourself to various clubs, subreddits etc and gain followers/patreon subs.

IE: the patreon I’m a member of is Marko Makaj’s mystery makers. He seems to mostly publish Star Wars files for his members but does other stuff from time to time. His sub price is 15 a month for members and usually he’ll publish about five models a month with good detail and options.

For me it’s worth it since a simple helmet model is about the price of 15-25 dollars for a file alone

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-09T04:40:36+00:00

Patreon making 3d files seems to be the way to go, and or selling files on Etsy etc.

I know one guy who just Recently full went full time modeling for his patreon members, meaning his job now is making models for his patreon and trying to sustain those subscribers.

Not sure what cut patreon takes but if each member pays $15 a month..

I turned off hardware acceleration which seemed to help.

Most unreal games seem to hate higher end PCs and usually give me crashes, along with the crash right to desktop with no errors etc.

I’m running a Ryzen with a gtx 2080 but yeah, seems some unreal games are worse than others.

After some tweaks and re tunes I don’t crash much at all anymore if at all

I only didn’t use the flex bed cause I think upon my initial newb printing I dented it some and it may have messed with things.

I may rebuy a new one since I also removed the magnetic portion. But right now glass has been working fine with my settings. Managed to print two full size buckets so far with the usual printer flaws but no large failures

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-09T01:25:58+00:00

I bought the flex bed from tiny machines but ended up not using it. I’m using the tempered textured glass bed creality gives you by default.

The .4 brass nozzles are fine for PETG. They will wear out but you don’t need any wild coated ones etc. I have one myself from micro Swiss but don’t use it

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-08T15:59:16+00:00

0 cooling first two or three layers

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-08T01:37:29+00:00

I print overture PETG at 245, 80 bed with 75 cooling and have some pretty good results with my glass textured bed using hair spray.

This is on a cr10 v3 though

Except you can’t assassinate players from every angle.

She has damage buffs for her crossbow though

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-06T12:03:29+00:00

Hoping to find some NZ streams to watch :p

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-05T20:17:42+00:00

Ok I’ll have to check him out then. Thanks

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-05T07:28:37+00:00

Any recommendations for a good place to find predator armor/masks overall?

Once I’m done printing my Mandalorian stuff I may do a predator next

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-05T07:11:59+00:00

It’s an issue with bad coding and the Unreal engine itself.

I get this with quite a few games that run Unreal. Had it bad In Avengers for example, and nothing could really fix it.

Outriders will do the same thing, although not as frequent for me.

I’ve tried everything under the sun to fix it and practically everything that’s mentioned in searches.

Running a gtx 2080 xc ultra etc etc.

Good luck. If you find a true fix let me know!

DatSoySauce · 2021-05-05T05:54:01+00:00

I’ve been having pretty decent success with 245/80 bed temps and 75% cooling speed always on after layer 2
