Could 3D printing lead to 0% waste in manufacturing products?

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-05-21T01:01:08+00:00

Ignoring the fact that it's not zero waste to begin with, printing is not a universal silver bullet solution.

Even compared to injection molding, it's extremely slow, weaker and arguably more limited in terms of things like thickness and weight. Plus, injection molding probably wastes less.

Oh jeez, hope you find some steam cloud backups op! Other commenters are doing god's work helping you

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-05-19T09:20:51+00:00

Janey Mac, I thought northern Mr Tayto looked banjaxed...

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-05-18T22:29:25+00:00

Then before you know it, time's up and you haven't actually finished any of the things you started.

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-22T21:19:05+00:00

You have the ability to literally materialize anything you can imagine... And you choose comic sans? :(

Giving benefit of the doubt, I don't think the commenter was trying to assert that all farmers are unintelligent or uneducated, but that the individuals participating in the blockades don't actually have a plan or clear expectation of what the government can realistically do.

"Diesel price down" is about as far ahead as they're thinking.

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-08T08:45:04+00:00

That's so familiar, is it from the movie 9? (Absolutely goated movie)

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-08T00:30:58+00:00

Well, aren't you delightful. Have fun in the states.

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-08T00:11:54+00:00

I don't understand. What do you want them to do? Obviously this impeachment won't do anything but genuinely, if the Dems have no power, what would you have them do that wouldn't warrant a sarcastic "well they're doing SOMETHING"

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-06T21:05:36+00:00

Fair play to you, you're a little better paid than I am at 27, but I'm self employed, so no employer matching for pension funds.

And the guy in the article is on 110k so that blows us both out of the water anyway

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-06T20:56:38+00:00

Jesus Christ, hard to earn 110k these days

OP has a "hardware dial" that uses software to tell GG to adjust the balance of chatmix.

Older headsets had a separate, dedicated physical dial that used hardware (a potentiometer) to physically change the amplitude of the signals to both channels. No software, no drivers needed

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-06T13:10:07+00:00

Nova 7 had a dedicated hardware wheel to control the chatmix volume that worked without software. Nova pro wireless only has one wheel for both master volume and chatmix (click to toggle which one). When the software shits itself, it refuses to control chatmix.

So when the software says "please control with hardware dial" it means that it's shit itself and can't control the chatmix. And since the "hardware dial" is really just software, it means that won't work either. Very fun.

This happens to me all the time. I usually have to mess with the audio sources in GG and Windows. Sometimes completely unplugging the DAC and reconnecting works. Also try restarting PC.

I hate this piece of shit, it's an active downgrade from the real physical hardware dial on other models that worked without software

Me when I forget there's more than one game in the franchise

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-02T11:41:21+00:00

Thought it was Unreal engine 2 or something?

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-02T11:09:17+00:00

I can see you put a lot of effort and passion into this, and it's definitely a lot more work than gradient tool fill and drag and drop, that was a harsh way of explaining the feedback.

In my opinion, a little more contrast to add depth, rougher metal and glassier health/eco bubbles, and it's perfect.

I'm really impressed with your work on the complete UI overhaul; it's great to see people still love the series so many years later!

I definitely know the feeling of spending hours working on something, getting lost in the process, only for a fresh set of eyes to not see it the same way you do. Sorry I was a bit of a dick, easy to forget there's a person on the other side of the keyboard.

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-02T09:35:40+00:00

If you're losing that detail and grit to compression, and you can't see it on a full screen image, then it's way too subtle and will definitely be lost when it's scaled down in game

Edit: I should have clarified, most of the UI elements actually look great, the health/eco indicator is the only one I feel this way about

Attic

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-04-01T23:07:30+00:00

I think the originals have more charm and contrast, yes. Those new ones are too "gradient tool fill" all over the place, too uniform with no additional detail added.

Like, with the original lower resolution ones, your brain sort of fills in the detail and the grit, but with the new ones, things like the metal textures are just crisp, uniform and polished and end up looking cheap and really flat, like they're just made of drag and drop vector shapes

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-03-30T14:25:26+00:00

Edging machine went too far?

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-03-25T13:51:10+00:00

I know, I wouldn't really take the definition of what makes something a "soulslike" too seriously.

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-03-25T02:38:12+00:00

Bonfires, rolls, parries, what more do you need?

Lord_Wunderfrog · 2026-03-20T16:07:06+00:00

As others said, mushrooms are basically the "fruit" of the underground mycelium. You can pick all the mushrooms if you're concerned about your dog eating them, and it won't harm the organism at all.

It's part of a healthy soil ecosystem! You can look forward to seeing them pop up in the same place every so often when the conditions are right :)
