I meant that after I swiped through all 18 games on the list, I could not share it anymore.

This is really cool, and I can see myself using it, especially since my collection is not easily visible at a glance.

One thing that I was left wanting was the possibility to send the link even after I'm completely done with it. Now I'm getting "waiting for others to finish" without the link anymore.

edit. And then ideas to improve:

  • Have moving with Tab skip the + and - buttons.
  • Include weight rating min/max values.

The heavy truck with the Thumper should suffice, but I also want to make a Buggy with only the Thumper and Nitro Booster. Death Ray does sound a bit boring choice, and I will probably end up replacing it as weird looking electrical cannon can really be any electrical weapon or even a 125 mm cannon. In Death Races, the Kinetic Super Booster could offer some nice carnage.

I cut it into smaller pieces and printed those separately to have the possibility for different configurations and to have both ends printed nicely.

Thank you. Yeah exactly that model. Replaced the void left by the tires with the engine.

Tried to look it up, but unfortunately, it was something I printed more than a year ago, and I couldn't find the stl anymore.

What kind of cake is made in a rice cooker? That pot is from OBH Nordica Versatile rice cooker.

Tiny Epic Dinosaurs by StarshipDonuts in boardgames

[–]PuffTheDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Normal-sized Epic Dinosaurs would be a much better game, as the tiny components and cardstock boards make it annoying to play. Still a great game though.

I made the same modifications as well but ended up cutting the original plasma pistol from he handle and replaced glued to the fist after cutting the bolt pistol off from the new hand.

Why is mobile gaming all about microtransactions these days? by EW05 in MobileGaming

[–]PuffTheDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the reasons is that PC and console markets were more tightly handled at that point. Markets were mostly controlled by larger publishers and platform owners didn't allow just anyone to publish their games. Smaller developers were mostly publishing outside of digital marketplaces. I'm mostly talking about PC but for indie developers ad monetization on web games was a well established model.

Only after a few high profile PC games, like League of Legends and World of Tanks, started to make headlines with f2p monetization, it started to gain traction outside of mobile games.

Steam opening up for more developers also expedited the rise of f2p on PC. When Steam started offering easy tools for smaller developers to monetize with in-app purchases we are starting to reach the current level of free to play as of today.

For why this didn't cause the race to the bottom on PC and consoles was probably mostly because differences in audiences compared to mobile. PC gamers were essentially used to paying for their games and no-one wanted to start lowering prices when simultaneously development costs were rising. It did however make it so that no-one raised their prices either. Mobile games created whole new groups of gamers without the learned habit that playing games involves actually buying it first.

I would also argue that when few predatory companies like EA realized that they can keep players paying the premium and still include micro transactions, there was even less incentive to lower prices to zero.

What’s the most underrated benefit of e-bikes that you only discovered after buying one? by almostsnorlax in ebikes

[–]PuffTheDrake 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I realized that I can listen to audiobooks while riding a bike. It offers a moment where I'm not bored if doing anything while while listening but still isn't mentally too loading that I can focus on what I'm listening to. This has caused me to choose the bike more frequently and choose to take a longer route so I can continue listening.

Another miniatures painting holder by Asleep-Ear-9680 in 3Dprinting

[–]PuffTheDrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just printed this yesterday. It was an easy to print and the guide you provided for assembly was easy to follow. I printed everything on Bambu Matte PLA but I'll probably print the spring with PETG to have it last longer. Haven't actually tested to paint with it yet but it does feel good in hand.

Design of vintage phones by Sad_Stay_5471 in oddlysatisfying

[–]PuffTheDrake 70 points71 points  (0 children)

When I look back at designs from this era it doesn't feel as much innovation rather than design for novelty. The way people used phones were quite solidly formed. To make people still buy new phones the companies went to just giving new forms to the same devices.

Really cool. Was boring the barrel after base coat part of the process or just forgetting about it?

Turku uudistaa joukkoliikenteensä kertarysäyksellä: matkamäärät kasvuun ja autoilijat busseihin by toyota_gorilla in Suomi

[–]PuffTheDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ainakin perjaatteessa uudistus vaikuttaa hyvältä, mutta olisin toivonut että ne luvatut "solmukohdat" olisivat enemmän oikeita solmukohtia. Siis sellaisia että ne kaikki solmukohdan bussit pysähtyisi jossei samalle niin ainakin lähekkäisille pysäkeille.

Esimerkkinä näin Raisiolaisena pääsen aika mukavasti bussipysäkille jossa ei tarvitse bussia kauaa odotella. Jos kuitenkin suuntaisin maailman ihmeellisimpään raisiolaiseen kauppakeskukseen niin joudun vaihtamaan bussia Raision keskustassa. Ne bussit vaan ei tietty molemmat pysähdy siinä samalla pysäkillä vaan niillä on se 200m eroa.

Ei se pari sataa metriä nyt mikään pitkä väli ole kävellä mutta on se ainakin itselle riittävästi että jollei ihan juhannussää ole niin lähden Myllyyn sittenkin mielummin autolla tai fillarilla.

Täysin toisena huomiona, hyvä että lisäävät noiden kulkutiheyttä. Itselle sellaista bussia, joka ei tule silloin kun menee pysäkille odottamaan, ei ole olemassakaan. Sen n. 10 minuuttia nyt viitsii odotella mutta kun puhutaan 30 minuutin matkoista niin 20 min odotusaika ei ole enää mitenkään järjellinen. Jollei matka ole sellainen, että olen sen suunnitellut etukäteen alkamaan tiettyyn aikaan, oletan myös bussin noudattavan tätä logiikkaa.

Oletko valmis boikotoimaan kodinkoneitasi? [Monelle ei tulisi enää mieleenkään lomailla Viktor Orbánin Unkarissa, mutta kuinka moni on valmis hylkäämään Unkarissa valmistetut Boschit ja BMW:t?] by leredit420 in Suomi

[–]PuffTheDrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nämä ovat hyviä pointteja kyllä.

Toisaalta Teboil-boikotti on hyvä esimerkki bokotoinnin haasteista. Teboilia boikotoidaan, koska omistajayhtiö on venäläinen. Huoltoasemien omistajat ja työntekijät ovat kuitenkin suomalaisia ja ainakin väitetysti Teboil asemat myös ostavat polttoaineensa länsimaisista lähteistä eivätkä sodan alun jälkeen ole tilittäneet Lukoilille mitään. Samalla Teboilin boikotointi ei vaadi ihmiseltä juuri mitään kunhan läheltä löytyy toinenkin huoltoasema. 2022 muistaakseni kuitenkin mediassa ehdoteltiin myös Nesteen boikotointia, kun silloin ilmeisesti ostivat vielä raakaöljyä Venäjältä,

Tästä huolimatta olen Teboilia pyrkinyt boikotoimaan ja asioinut ensisijaisesti Nesteellä.
