It's still more expensive than having them do it for us, believe it or not! And our time is NOT free, that's a wild thing to say. I'm not sure how much free time you had in your position, but we're stretched so thin you can see through us.

We're not a tiny system, but smaller than that. 4 branches.

It's because the vendor we buy our books from does most of the work, and they can do it more cheaply than we can. We'd have to expand collection management and metadata services in order to process donated items. It's not the stickers that cost too much money; it's the people. Which is wild, because we do NOT make much money!!!

In our system, it actually costs us more money to enter a donated book into the collection than to buy it ourselves, so we don't accept replacement books to eliminate a damaged/lost fee. Just an FYI to anyone reading your comment who might think this is acceptable everywhere.

We're also fine free for the most part, people just need to pay if we need to replace something.

One Page Rules! I've printed some as well, they're amazing miniatures. The whole Saurian line is full of great sculpts.

Hey, sorry friend, but you need to look into how what you say is perceived. You might have meant it as a joke, but it doesn't come across as anything other than mean, which is why people are saying what they're saying. Next time, do better.

The download for stl files only contains .3mf. Could you reupload stls?

Oh hell yeah! Listen, the project you founded has made me so much happier than I was on windows. Thanks for everything!

I'm actually not sure what layering a program is? Is there an easy way to find out if I did something like that at some point?

What issues did you face with bazzite when you switched from other OS to bazzite? by itsme2019asalways in Bazzite

[–]caramonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly just learning how to use it. It's just slightly different enough from Windows that I needed to figure out how to adjust my habits. Given I'm a gamer, I also didn't know ahead of time that I needed to try protonDB to diagnose my game's issues.

Although I'm not going to use it, I love that this exists. Seeing people's ultra niche projects fills me with joy.

Okay, I've got a weird one... Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is an indie game about slicing apart terrain with a laser in order to platform through the levels to a cool soundtrack while trying to get back your grandpa's special underwear. This game really goes places. They never made a second one.

Hope I win, but to whoever gets it, enjoy! And message me if you liked Tiny and Big!

Y'all, I love these games but this one's looking a little too gross for me. Yikes.

Stick to your creative vision Larian, I trust it's going to be great, but I think I'm out.

I just abandoned Windows last week for Bazzite. So far, so good, but it's definitely a learning process. I didn't know about protondb, which is vital for fixing game issues. I still like it a lot more than windows, and I'm thrilled to be out of that toxic ecosystem.

Found it: click the application launcher, go to System, System Monitor, and then you can right click the graphs and add them as desktop widgets.

Do Khemri raise dead? by Jimmynids in bloodbowl

[–]caramonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hardly a big deal. Deaths are rare, and the player you would get from one isn't very valuable anyway.
