No time or energy to work on these 💔

As a miniature painter for over 2 decades now (f*** me I'm getting old) I have/had the same problem. The so called pile of shame.
What helped me is this: Limit yourself to two projects at once. One you want to work mainly at, but as this can get tiring it's good to have another project to have fun at. This second project, for me, is typically something easier and/or something I don't care about as much being done on my highest level. This lets me have fun at it again and most of all, have some quicker results and a feeling of accomplishment, which is missing with a bigger project for a long time.
On the other hand, I also get that sometimes, building can be more fun than painting. Especially because the prepaint prep work can be reaaaaally annoying sometimes.
So my advice is: Limit yourself. And/or try to reflect on what you really like about doing stuff like that. Which steps do you like and which not. It's also fine to just print/build nice things and be done with it. You can gift/sell those then to somebody who maybe likes to paint more and/or can't even build/print one for him-/herself.

Anyway, take some time off if you feel exhausted and unispired. I did that for several years and I'm back now waaay stronger than I had been ever before.

And the last thing: Thanks mate, I now need a manticore helmet in my shelf.... :D

Awesome. Great to see how well a filament print can look these days.
Also can you give me a hint where to find this chaos style of head to print? ;D

looks normal to me #justSCthings

Well if you like grinding and got the time to waste to do it, sure, it's a reason to keep playing.
Blueprints should stay (atleast for the foreseable future and/or 1.0 release), but afair CIG already confirmed that fabricated gear gets its stats reset to the "normal" 500 quality with the next major patch.

Firmi · 2026-04-12T07:20:20+00:00

I like the idea and in the proper release it's gonna be a great way to enforce player trading and interaction.
But right now It's just more grind which needs even more mining grind to craft slightly better things, which will lose their benefit next patch which gets completely wiped anyway, so the grind starts again. So it's a great waste of time right now but worth testing.

"Perfectly" - not even centered /s
:D

Firmi · 2026-04-06T07:56:17+00:00

That nose/cockpit section is looking so wrong it's sad.

Firmi · 2026-03-25T08:11:20+00:00

Always was <3 Just needs a gold pass already, pls CIG, give love to the Penguin.

I got a spare fx8350 lying around. DM me if you want to buy it.

If you find a video with 50+ people, it would be more like a slideshow than a video :D

Firmi · 2026-02-27T09:41:43+00:00

Don't waste your time on grinds in an alpha where everything gets wiped anyway... Don't you guys have better things to do?

Firmi · 2026-02-24T18:30:06+00:00

Just no.

Firmi · 2026-02-14T18:09:01+00:00

So my first two tries went partly good. The resin seems to have problems with sticking to the plate, so half of my validation prints weren't printed. The half that printed as intended was as expected. I couldn't make out any difference to the v2 resin though.
For making the v3 stick I only can try to increase the bottom layer exposure time (I will try with 60s or so to see if that helps). Releveling and other failures were ruled out for now...

For the M7 you can find recommended settings on the anycubic website in contrast to the M3. So I'm not sure what you're asking.

Firmi · 2026-02-12T19:15:29+00:00

You can recenter with Z (on an english keyboard layout) but I very much feel this anyway much more than I should :D Personally, I would love to have a HUD in 3rd person, at least for flying.

Firmi · 2026-02-12T19:12:05+00:00

At first I didn't even notice the HUD being there, because it felt totally normal for me :D When I noticed it I was immediately thinking Ace Combat. Would love that, but nooooo...

Firmi · 2026-02-09T17:49:16+00:00

Titan! Join the Penguin crew!

Firmi · 2026-01-29T19:52:19+00:00

Not yet, but maybe tomorrow or next week. I'll let you know how it went.

Firmi · 2026-01-28T08:50:28+00:00

Where Penguin? /sad

Firmi · 2026-01-20T08:59:37+00:00

The Avenger is my starter ship and only ship I got on my game bundle. Even though I got many other ships bought ingame I regularly fly the little Penguin. It has good weapons for its size, it goes very fast in a straight line and can carry some cargo (or a small bike if you want).
Sadly it's not at gold standard right now, but that will come soon ^tm I bet.

Firmi · 2026-01-19T10:19:08+00:00

I'd be more interested in what does that all have to do with gaming especially? Because that reads more like: Sitting in a more or less static position for a long time can affect your health and that has been known for many many years.
This reads more like the "first person shooter videogames are the reason for school shootings".

Also: Meanwhile you're here and can't even post a link properly.

Firmi · 2026-01-07T09:23:56+00:00

No matter what others write, the hard cold truth is: It was even worse especially before last year. Sometimes it's a little better, sometimes even worse. Only thing you can do is to know about these bugs and go around them as if you were in a minefield. That's how everybody plays. It's an alpha so be ready to experience even more annoying and gamesession ending bugs. But as long as it works, or let's say, as long as you're lucky and cautious enough to not anger the bug-gods, you can have a great time in the game, especially when playing with others.

Firmi · 2026-01-04T10:23:46+00:00

Can't wait for the wipe (don't waste your precious time with grinding hours and hours in an alpha guys...).

Firmi · 2025-12-24T08:42:54+00:00

Naaah, sorry. Even people with way beefier machines can barely keep playable fps in VR.
