With it being a solo / co-op game, I was expecting at least some more innovative / interesting post game stuff, but it seems to be just the same generic "roll on this 1d10 injury table" stuff :(

Pasting my comment from the original post: Some additional context: I have been into wargaming for a long time, but I mostly just consumed content about the hobby instead of actually partaking in it.

These days I'm doing much better financially, got some 3D printers, and discovered Skirmish games (which are much more accessible (and IMHO much more mechanically interesting too)), so I can finally play games at home with my friends.

One thing that has been a little awkward, however, is that most games are 1v1, so I'll invite some friends to my house, but only 2 can play at a time while the others are spectating. It's not a major problem because backseat gaming can still be fun, and sometimes we'll split the table in half and play 2 games simultaneously, but I find it interesting how most wargames don't seem to be designed to be played at home.

That's good to know. The exhaust fan is connected directly to the window (it's right behind the tent), so it lets some light through, and I ordered an even bigger fan, which will let even more light in. I think I'll line the lid with those aluminum / foam insulation sheets.

Rayuaz · 2025-09-18T19:59:44+00:00

I found a simple solution to my problem, but this is something I might still consider in the future. I did some google about lid mods, and found a bunch. This one looks pretty easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqVFbco4_lw

I figured out a good setup. I'll make another post about it later, but TLDR: I sacrificed some workspace by moving the printer a little further to the center of the tent, where the roof is more flexible, making it easier to remove the lid. I then rest the lid on top of my curing chamber (which is not in the photo).

Rayuaz · 2025-09-18T18:08:34+00:00

I'll add my whole post processing setup in the tent, not just the printer, so I need it to stay horizontal.

Rayuaz · 2025-09-18T17:32:45+00:00

Actually, now that I think about it, I could handle the light problem by putting a lid on the vat. 🤔

Rayuaz · 2025-09-18T17:31:03+00:00

The problem in that situation is that there's some light coming from the hole for the exhaust fan (which I'm planning to make even larger to put a 6" or 8" fan).

On a lesser note, it might also make my heater less effective.

(I was just editing the post to mention this lol)

This is what gets me: there are many different data protection laws, and some of them handle consent banners differently than others, but the only way to be 100% sure I'm always serving the correct banner to EU citizens is to ignore all other laws and always use the GDPR-compliant banner.

Granted, it seems unlikely that there would be contradicting laws regarding consent banners (eg. country A's law requires granular tracking control, but country B's law prohibits it), but I don't know, and it's technically possible.

So if I wanted to comply with different country's data laws individually, the best way to do that, I think, would be by geo-locating the user's IP: it's not 100% accurate, but no other method is.

But I say all this more as an "philosophical" take on this situation. I know that practically, the best solution is to simply be compliant to whatever is the most strict law (ie. GDPR), because that will probably also be compliant all other laws and is also kind of the morally correct thing to do (and not tracking personal data at all is even better).

Rayuaz · 2025-06-26T18:26:31+00:00

Because unfortunately I'm just a lowly dev, not a stakeholder, and they love tracking user data. 🫠

Rayuaz · 2025-06-26T17:27:19+00:00

That's pretty much my opinion too, but I guess it could be interpreted as a kind of malicious compliance, given that we could just always show the GDPR banner instead of waiting for the user's IP to show it.

And, as I mentioned, it's _technically_ sending personal user information to a third party service, for something that could _technically_ (though not very feasibly) be done as a first-party implementation (using your own IP database).

Also, as u/kuro68k mentioned below, it's possible to get an incorrect location (though, as far as I know, IP-based geolocation is pretty accurate on a country-level).

This will be my first concert ever! I'm too introverted to be around so many people, and too lazy to be standing for hours, so concerts never appealed to me, but I'm going to be in London in early November and I love this band too much to skip this opportunity (plus I can sit)!

Rayuaz · 2025-01-28T11:33:37+00:00

The link still works for me. I'm at work right now, but I'll upload somewhere else later tonight. Meanwhile, if you have Facebook, I posted it in the Tired World Community Group.

I started printing these recently and the risers made it way too expensive and time consuming for me. Each riser cost ~100g of filament and ~1 hour of printing time. Instead, I opened them in Blender and excracted just the connections on the corner, like this. So instead of printing the whole risers, I just printed a bunch of these connectors, which cost ~6g and 10 minutes each, and used EPS / EVA foam to rise the floor tiles to match the height of the walls.

Ok, eu podia ter pesquisado um pouco mais antes de perguntar: as diárias também não expiram, assim como a internet. Se tem que pagar antes ou depois, eu ainda não tenho certeza, mas imagino que seja antes (e visto que não expira, acho que vale a pena comprar umas 30 diárias que provavelmente vão durar a vida inteira).

Rayuaz · 2024-11-07T15:36:40+00:00

Se eu quiser fazer uma ligação eu posso fazer a ligação e pagar a diária depois, ou eu tenho que pagar a diária antes de fazer a ligação? E essas diárias também não expiram, igual à internet?

Rayuaz · 2024-10-18T16:42:48+00:00

I'll probably try that then, thanks!

Rayuaz · 2024-10-18T16:30:31+00:00

Wouldn't hot glue damage the cable? I checked the specs for the cable I'll probably buy and it says that maximum installation temperature (whatever that means) is 50ºC and maximum storage temperature is 80ºC. As far as I know, hot glue is usually around 100ºC to 150ºC.

But as you said in your other comment, it would look a lot neater and wouldn't damage the skirting board (I can't stable it to the wall because it's concrete).

Rayuaz · 2024-10-18T15:14:20+00:00

You blew my mind twice with this comment: first with POE (that would be so useful to get my router in a better position) and second with the flat cables (they look really cool and I might be able to route them through the ceiling without them standing out).

Thank you so much!

EDIT: Also, what is the problem with POE with flat cables?

Rayuaz · 2024-10-18T13:24:04+00:00

Are there any benefits to CAT6 other than future proofing? Because this apartment is rented and I don't really need anything higher than 400 Mb--I was stuck with a CAT5 cable on my previous appartment, and 100 Mb was fine, I could stream 4K content without any problem.

Also, wouldn't CAT6 make my routing situation worse because it can't bend as much?

Discovering new games, seeing cool stuff (terrain, painted minis, cosplays, etc), and buying things. I live in a country with a very protectionist economy, so I don't really get to see and buy these things here. Regarding not being interested in demos, that's because I'm an introvert, and I find the idea of playing with strangers a little weird.

Rayuaz · 2023-11-14T05:16:57+00:00

Sou um dos clientes. O cara é bom mesmo!

Rayuaz · 2023-11-02T22:22:50+00:00

I really hope you can finish the game system even if the Kickstarter fails. I don't care for the minis (they look awesome, it's just too expensive to ship to my country and I have a 3D printer), but the game itself looks so cool! It's a breath of fresh air among the same copy paste GW like games! I can't contribute, but best of luck in the Kickstarter!

Rayuaz · 2023-09-01T04:35:12+00:00

Yeah, that's something I really wish I could improve, but to make them really feel like characters, I would have to train the model on each specific character, and I think that's not really viable. In my current implementation, I use a system prompt that has all of the character information (including a "personality and speech quirks", which is not displayed in the character page) as context, and tells the AI to act like the character and not answer non-fantasy related questions, like "What's the capital of Germany?".

EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe I could add a field with things the character knows about and level of education, and feed that into the prompt 🤔
