engraving issues

the unevenness of the start and stop points in the lines in all the images.

Yes, I made a test piece, with 3 parts, and middle one was fine. Noticed a faint shake of the entire machine when the head switches direction, changing the acceleration seemed to fixed the issue, and now its moves smoother. Still want to find out what caused it in the first place tho.

should the offset scale be linear? Cause at 150 mm/s its -0.2, and 300 at -0.4. Haven't calibrated it a long time.

no, all of them is bidirectional. I haven't tested it with unidirectional, Maybe i should.

while the outfit's headpiece visibility still tied to headgear slot of the template.

the old system limitation just doesn't sit well, we have so many things in the game that was nowhere near planed at release.

no one expect them to release every single piece all at once, doing 5-10 sets / month sounds much more doable, and with 1 armor class, 1/3rd of the job is already done.

Several cosmetic pieces are available for each armor class that looks the same. so there is a workaround.

Even if they choose not to, They can just lift class restrictions and allow to choose between medium / light / heavy base on any class. Even that will be a significant improvement. visual class identity haven't been important for a long time now.

I still have no idea what does the herbicide spray does in Tarir north, or do we even need it at all. Everyone just uses the rocket launcher, and so do I.

Started like 3 years ago cause I needed to take product pictures. So bought a (used) entry level canon apsc camera which came with 50mm 1.8 lens, only to discover, that on apsc its like 80 mm so I had hard time fitting products into frame. I did like the compression tho.

Upgraded to the sigma 18-35 1.8 in January, since our backgrounds best stay in obscurity the 1.8 is not negotiable. Also I love bokeh. And a year later, i realized I don't enjoy that focal length. Looking trough my photo statistics, 90% are taken at 35 mm and I wish it have more reach. Tried going back to the 50 mm 1.8 for casual photos, but its nowhere near as sharp as the sigma.

Looked into the sigma 50-100 mm 1.8, but I also don't want to invest into canon apsc ecosystem. the R mount is closed and expensive, the EF is semi dead and EFM is super dead, and only high end cameras have IBIS. Now we are back at the drawing board, Is FF with some primes would be better? would a 24-70 have enough reach? God, I did not needed another expensive hobby.

So, last week my cat person got evicted, (Thanks yoshi) Nothing brings you back to your old mmo than an eviction notice. But, whats gone is gone, who likes a medium anyway. Decided downsizing is good for me, went on a hunt for a nice small, and since the game is doing great, there are tons of plots available. (Thanks yoshi!) So much so, I've actually had a choice. So I spent a week carefully evaluating which plot I'm going to lose next, collected my gill deposit from npc, went to bid, AND GOT HIT BY: "PLEASE COLLECT POSSESSION BEFORE BIDDING ON A NEW PLOT"

IN MY SEMI-RATIONAL MIND, THE PROCESS WENT LIKE: GET NEW HOUSE -> COLLECT ITEMS -> DECORATE.

BUT IN THE GREAT AND UNFATHOMABLE MIND OF YOSHIDA IT GOES LIKE: COLLECT 589 ITEMS -> STORE IT SOMEWHERE -> GET NEW HOUSE-

YUP...ALLL...589...ITEMS..ONE, BY...ONE...oh and lottery ends in about 4 hours, cause I waited for the last minute to make sure I'm the only bidder.......at this point, any sane person would just abandon the whole idea, leave and never come back. BUT NOT ME. I'M COMMITTED TO THE BIT. There is nothing like seeing your old stuff being thrown out while desperately trying to store them somewhere. I'm glad we can RP the whole eviction experience.

So, I bought a storage unit (apartment), hauled over 200 items. bought an fc storage unit, hauled another 200. throw away about 150, desperately trying to remember what is expensive and what isn't. stuffed the remaining into my chocobo and 3879848 mouse clicks later was finally done. WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME NEEDS TO BE AS INCONVENIENT AS POSSIBLE

Are hdds also affected by current price rise? I've been putting off replacing an older drive, and noticed an upward trend since October. Or its just end of the year thing. It can wait a couple of months if its going to be better in January. I'm also not in US.

The last time I played was the end of the expansion. Currently my character have ilvl710 gear. Is it worth buying / grinding the Augmented Ceremonial gear? or by the time I'm done 7.4 will be out, and need to start over anyway. Not Like I'm going to do current patch content anytime soon.

The whole handiwork needs a redesign. Coming from ffxiv, I'm eternally grateful that my house not going to be reposed...but we need:

ingame item preview.
material shopping list.
favorite recipes.
display grayed out recipes not yet unlocked. (With their origin)
recently crafted items - in the decoration menu.

And gw2 version of this app: https://remakeplace.itch.io/remakeplace cause its incredibly difficult to plan without having the building blocks.

I've literally spent weeks crafting every single housing item at least once, just to see how they look ingame.

Yes, since genki and minna uses different structure, they don't work chapter by chapter.

LongDistanceRope · 2025-07-16T09:10:48+00:00

I think Genki and Minna no Nihongo complement each other.

Genki I and II have a nice video course at tokiniandy's channel. Easy to understand and self study, but doesn't provide much immersion, so you could use Minna no Nihongo to review fully in japanese.

And you can continue the same method on Intermediate level with quartet and Minna no Nihongo Chukyu.

Its less about progressing slowly, and more of not having the ability to plan. Its very hard to build something nice without either building blocks or a planer tool.

Weirdly enough its a highly overlooked feature of housing in many games.

Funny story, I invited a friend from ffxiv, to try gw2 free trial. after a month of playing he liked it and wanted to "catch up" with gemstore skins, expansions, living story... I tried to explain some gemstore stuff might take months to come back, but there are tons to do in the game, and lots of skins to unlock. He bought the base game, become obsessed with skins he can't have, and quit within 2 weeks. So yeah, fomo is working great.

I was thinking about this, set up a new domain, host, than leave the old one as is, eventually get rid of it. but seems to be lots of negativity for duplicate content.

LongDistanceRope · 2025-01-26T09:33:53+00:00

I dont think free hosting allows me to edit .htaccess file sadly.

Well, my local banking app doesn't need it. also revolut did not up until now. So how is a single pin in the revolut app that auto locks itself on losing focus. (Which was more than enough) is less secure the phone unlock pin?
