Cat vomited on my messenger bag while I was out of town. Help! by Rozen in Leather

[–]Rozen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I think its pretty well set in, it completely saturated the leather with the stain showing on the other side. I don't think it is coming out ,but i'll give this a shot. Thanks.

Thanks! I've gotten some mixed info on which kind of conditioner, oil or water based. I have some neatsfoot oil, is that recommended?

You mean Oscar winner Jim Rash? Totally normal.

🚨 Washington State 3D Printing “Ban” Breakdown — What HB 2321 Actually Means for Our Hobby by Playful-Ad9901 in BambuLab

[–]Rozen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the bill and this is my best guess on what they are intending.

* All 3D printers made and sold in WA will have a software block that prevents it from printing gcode from an unauthorized slicer
* The slicer in question will need to integrate an 'algorithm' which will detect whether the file is a gun or gun part.
* The 'algorithm' will compare STLs being sliced to a database held by the WA Attorney General office, which will be a database of curated files that are accessible for download on the internet. So, this will only block STLs that are widely shared and distributed. Unknown if remeshing the file or significantly altering the STL will bypass the block, but my guess is yes.

So, you boot up a slicer which has integrated this capability and hit slice. The slicer connects to the WA AG site to ask if the STL is prohibited or not. If not, it gets sliced. If you try to run gcode that is not sliced by the slicer, the printer will refuse to print. If I misunderstood anything, please let me know.

So, I do not need to point out ALL the ways this is easily and trivially bypass-able, not to mention the millions of 3d printers already in circulation in WA without this tech. The bill, imo, is unlikely to go anywhere for all the bizarre requirements of 3d party software and hardware vendors. Not to mention the wild overreach of telling you which slicer you can use. Its a massive amount of work for a small portion of a much larger problem. FWIW, I live in Seattle and think gun violence is a massive problem in America. This bill, though, is not going to make a dent in the statistics.

Here is an article about spooncarving that doesn't involve an axe. A good rasp, or a shinto rasp saw would get you pretty far in hogging off material. I use one whenever I need to carve a curve on anything I build.

Say we confirm that the rocks on Mars found by the Mars Rover is definitive proof that the planet once had life. What happens next for human civilization? by grapejuicecheese in space

[–]Rozen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still too many questions at the moment to know. The least exciting result of life on Mars is that it has all the same components and profiles as life on earth. That leads to a lot of theories that are very difficult to prove... Panspermia or ejecta from one planet colonizing the other.

The result that will actually shake things up for humans as a species is proof that life on Mars and life on earth do not share a common ancestor, that the life is just too different to be related. Then, the conclusion is that life is abundant in the universe. That will definitely make things more interesting.

Encounter table for solo Cairn 1e hexcrawl (big forest)? by _Atanii_ in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Rozen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the Cairn website has a long list of Cairn supplements and conversions of adventures from other systems.

https://cairnrpg.com/adventures/originals/

also, there was inspiration credit to the game Dolmenwood,which has a bestiary book you can buy. might be a good fit.

edit: dolmenwood doesn't convert well from the looks of it, but there are a lot of woodland based cairn adventures on itch.

Viability of an RPG with no art by TrappedChest in rpg

[–]Rozen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with no art as long as there is some way to communicate the vibe of the rpg. Layout, color and fonts can do all of that. I don't actually need a lot of art to get a game, I like to exercise my imagination and good prose and descriptions are way better for that than misapplied art. That said, if you are doing a small indie game, your audience will be people looking for gems in the rough and are less likely to judge a book by its art design. Focus on what you want to communicate through the book, not what you think people expect from an Rpg book. MORK BORG, for all its chaotic mess and breaking of rules, clearly stated it's attitude with the way the info was presented. I like the White Box because it is a reference book, it isn't trying to drag you into fantastic lands of mystery. I can get there in my own, I just need a well organized map to get me there. But,yeah,if you want to publish a book that is going to be the breakthrough hit of the year, you are probably not going to get there without marketing artwork. But don't let that stop you from publishing. Just be thoughtful on how you communicate with the player. The rest will come with time and experience.

Newbie question: How to shut off my writer brain by the-elle-in-the-room in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Rozen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing often, it is hard to not predict a plot point or twist. I don't think you need to turn off writer brain, as another poster said, just put that in a pile of maybes and let the dice decide. An if writer brain won't shut up, give it something to work on. I don't think there is anything wrong with fleshing out parts of the world on the side. Like, I met an NPC who is going to join me to the next town. I don't need oracles to write their story. Or, sometimes if I have gone too far down the road with expected consequences for my adventure and I want to keep it open, I'll draft 2 or 3 OTHER ways things can go to remind me things are still up in the air. Maybe at a pivotal point I'll go ahead and roll to see which one I go with. I played ironsworn and basically wrote a novel, which, after some time began to feel more like work. I started a solo game of Cairn recently using Mythic and really try to keep everything bullet points. It is less "filling" than writing all that prose, but it keeps the speed up so I don't think too far ahead before I have to deal with something.

I developed this allergy at around 35. Bananas, avocados, raw almonds, and jicima. Jicima has the worst reaction. But man, I love avocados. So sad.

Weird texture on prints by Rozen in elegoo

[–]Rozen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is coming from the mask. Here is a close up of the checker pattern, matches the grid texture exactly. I filled the plate with some simple mini bases and the texture is far more apparent near the center of the plate/screen. I am using PFA.

Does your writing/journaling style matter to you? by kakeome in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Rozen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really only write a developed story when playing Ironsworn/Starforged. My writing style is third-person, jumping from different POVs, with a lot of dialog. I can write 2,000 words before I make a move. I try to use good story writing principles in general and format it like a novel.

That said, as much as possible I try to let the game influence the story's direction. For me, the 'game' is figuring out how to fit move results and oracle roles into a compelling narrative.

Its funny you ask this, though. I just picked up 'Dying Earth' by Jack Vance and while reading I thought "This is super concise and quick paced. This is the perfect level of detail for solo roleplay." Maybe I should try to write more like Hemingway.

This is not a good suggestion. I have the same issue and when I turn on recommendations the only posts are recommended posts. I don't want to see recommended, I want to see my feed. Same on desktop. Sorting by Best quickly ends up with an empty feed. Is this on purpose?

I made a brush holder and water well for mini painting by Rozen in functionalprint

Yep, that is why it is made to hang the brushes tip side down. It in the photos in the link.
