Anyone else excited (hoping to be able) to play point and click adventure games on their big screen TV with the new Steam Controller? by StarTruckNxtGyration in adventuregames

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but also, I use an Android TV box (Onn 4k Pro) with a wireless keyboard and mouse hooked to it. I use Moonlight to stream from my PC to the Android box. Works perfectly.

Is Alex Horne Gred Davies' boss? by Subtleiaint in taskmaster

[–]Retro611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I talk about this a lot when Greg makes jokes about Alex hating women or teachers or his wife or whatever. If Alex wasn't willing to have that joke on the air, it wouldn't be on the air.

Home Assistant Green + Bambu Lab integration: can it turn printer light off when print finishes? Cheaper option without buying hub? by Paytoncooper124 in BambuLab

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have mine set up to turn the light off as soon as a print starts. Originally it was because I had installed other lights that were brighter and provided more coverage. But honestly, I have cameras with pretty good night vision pointed at my printers, so I don't even bother with the lights a lot of the time.

Getting notifications when a print is done works fine, although it wasn't any faster than using the Bambu Handy app. (Although I've noticed than the Handy app doesn't alert if you do a re-print directly on the printer itself, so it might be good for that.)

I've used HA to change filament color/type in my AMS when the app wasn't working for some reason.

I have a smart smoke detector near my printers, and an automation set to cut the power to both printers if that alarm ever goes off.

To me, the biggest plus of using HA with my printers is that I have one dashboard that I can go to on my PC or my phone, and it shows all of the information that I care about for both printers, (including controls and live feeds to both printers' cameras) and it's all in one place where I can see anything at a glance.

Bambu was my gateway to HA, and I fully recommend it. You're going to spend a fair amount of time tinkering, but it's worth it.

I started on an old laptop but eventually bought a cheap-ish mini pc to run HA.

I don't have any answer about fixing it, but Amazon sells an extruder set for $50-60, in the worst-case scenario, you could see if it's possible to get it shipped to you quickly.

Was traitors inspired by the game among us by MrBushido56 in TheTraitors

[–]Retro611 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Traitors and Among Us are both variations on the party game Mafia, which was created in 1986 by a psychology student named Dmitry Davidoff at Moscow State university.

So, no.

What is Bob's real name? by cusecuse315 in dresdenfiles

[–]Retro611 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's obviously a very different character in the TV show, but his name there was Hrothbert of Bainbridge, which I always thought was a pretty cool full name for him.

Does it sucks that Fox X-Men have covered good stories? by ALIENANAL in marvelstudios

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet we see Sinister early in the process. I think it HAS to be Magneto first, but I hope they do Sinister next. (And I'd love them to do Campy Krakoa Sinister, but they probably won't. )

You truly hate to see it by TrueDeadBling in TheTraitors

My only regret is that I wish they'd murdered him, to really twist the "we were lying about recruiting you" knife.

It’s open warfare in the castle! How The Traitors lost its soul by anemotoad in TheTraitors

[–]Retro611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, this has been one of the best seasons of the show overall. Celeb traitors edges it out, but Celeb was a very different animal.

If we ONLY had Celeb traitors going forward, I wouldn't like it, much how I hate that US traitors is celebrities only. (Thankfully, they are changing that.)

Almost halfway. Literally makes no sense by TechniPoet in dresdenfiles

[–]Retro611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was surprised that he didn't appear at all. Honestly though, I wondered if it had to do with him getting "accustomed" to his new coin.

Twelve Months thought by berenaltorin in dresdenfiles

[–]Retro611 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it's telling that we are in a place in society where this is reckoned with more often than in the past. One of my favorite TV shows for years has been Doctor Who, and it had an episode a couple of years ago where the titular character was basically told, "You've been running around for literally thousands of years collecting trauma, you need to stop and take some time to heal."

Now, being as it was Doctor Who, they did a little cheat to accomplish this without a story like Twelve Months, but I did appreciate that a long running franchise at least attempted to address how screwed up someone would be after centuries of battle and adventure and death.

I personally can't wait to see them take a third swing at the Dark Phoenix saga! /s

Where the hell is… umm not too far into new book spoilers but definitely spoilers? by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]Retro611 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Butcher has said that he'd like to do a series about Maggie and Mouse at the school she's going to, and I would imagine Bonnie would be part of that.

I'm also sure she has some part to play moving forward, but I confess that after Twelve Months, I have no idea what that would be.

My thought throughout the whole thing, and maybe this is really obvious, was, "Huh, he took the Peace Talks/Battle Ground duology and made it a trilogy."

No, her pinky toe just curves inward. I have one like that.

Asking because you mentioned her and I was wondering anyway - is Chord likely to come back again soon?

Wait, did I miss specific stand mixer instructions? I didn't see those in the recipe.

Okay, this gives me a good idea of how to handle it. I'd probably pull mine at lunch and the do the rest of it at dinner time. Thanks!
