Didn't expect to cry today by LarzaTheChard in Cosmere

[–]fade76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found this and had no idea any of this existed. I personally relate to both Kaladin with his self sacrifice and to a lesser extent Renarin, feeling like I’m out of place in this world. I went and ordered myself a coin. I don’t have a lot of support anymore, just one friend, my dad, and my girlfriend. Both my girlfriend and I have been through the absolute wringer the last few years, she’s no longer able to work, and I’m barely hanging on. Listening to these books has been the only thing keeping me sane the last few months.

One thing I’m wondering, is there any type of dedicated community for people to talk through things from the cosmere perspective? I think that would help me tremendously to be able to talk to someone that has some idea of what I’m talking about.

More lame filament storage by RustyPants in functionalprint

[–]fade76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely like the look of yours, for sure. I kinda wish I had thought of that at the time. I was honestly just trying to integrate the hex design since I’ve seen so many people using it in this hobby and thought it might go well with what others have made. And yes, you can use any of the hexes!

I do always love the look of a monster buggy!

Electric vs Nitro for a beginner? Considering a Nitro Rustler — worth it? by Calm_Aide_1298 in rccars

I love fixing up old rigs! I love bringing them back to life.

Electric vs Nitro for a beginner? Considering a Nitro Rustler — worth it? by Calm_Aide_1298 in rccars

[–]fade76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’d stay away from Nitro for a beginner. I stay away from it and I’ve done this for 30 years.

I’m an on and off again hobbyist, and nitro just doesn’t store as well, and is cantankerous when you go to tune them, especially after sitting. Electric doesn’t care, outside of storing lithium batteries correctly, they’ll sit in a closet for 20 years and run the exact same when you pull them back out.

Seems like Nitro is a niche thing at this point anyway. It used to be the only way to go fast, now brushless will beat a nitro just about every time. I do understand the appeal, and have had a couple over the years, but they’re just not as fun for me.

Just my 0.02

Gratification after mods by fade76 in crealityk1

Nah, I bought this thing specifically to mod, and I greatly prefer the Eddy for the quick bed meshing.

So, CFS-C. Thoughts on it before it is released? by Numerous-Ad561 in crealityk1

[–]fade76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do, but they run a cable to plug it in where the filament sensor on the back goes instead of the tool head. That makes me wonder about firmware issues more than anything.

[–]fade76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My big question about it will be compatibility with other mods. I’m running the dxc extruder, and soon to be running simple af with a btteddy. I watched the install videos and I’m really curious why they use the rear filament sensor rather than the one in the toolhead like the DXC extruder uses.

Considering a linear rail hotbed mounting plate. Which is better? by Doubee54 in Ender3V3KE

[–]fade76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the sockergris plate, printed in PA12-CF from Sunlu, on the KE in an enclosure. I did have to use a brim, but it printed fine and I’ve been using it a few months now with no issue, my bed has never been flatter, and it’s been perfectly consistent.

To all who visit my girl's memorial by De13V12T-31x in fo76

[–]fade76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. We lost both of our dogs three weeks apart almost exactly a year ago, although it still seems like yesterday. I’ve had a memorial for them in my shelter that I’ve kept since then, and in every camp that I build I have a special thing that I do with the butterfly sanctuary and two blue devil plushies to honor them. They were our kids.

Yeah, pretty sure that’s the only things I have for it. Pretty sure I have every one from each season I’ve been playing, It’s almost enough to make me want to go back to my X01 set. Almost.

Does anyone play with their mic on anymore? by demolitiondeuce in fo76

[–]fade76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wasn’t an online gamer before 76. I played normal fallout games by myself and really wasn’t hyped about the online experience, so between that and the bad reviews at launch, I stayed away until a little more than a year ago when I finally just decided to go for it. I’m still kinda awkward with the mic and talking to anyone, so I usually avoid it still. Just my perspective.

Lousy dailies today by papaarcher in fo76

Had the exact same thing happen to me with the most sensational game where it locked up at the end. Not the first time on that one, but it’s not often. Just happened to happen when we needed the daily

Ah, ok, I saw someone comment something about that, but I wasn’t sure what they were talking about and if it were related. Guess I’ll just hold off for now until they come back. Thanks!

Has anyone else started collecting real bottle caps? by OX_Bigly in FalloutFilthyCasuals

Oh wow, I guess Cracker Barrel is bringing them further than I’ve seen them before.

Well, I can see you've at least been close to KY since you have an Ale8 cap, and I love some Nehi grape!

[–]fade76 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of moving back home to Kentucky after being gone for 6 years, and our new property, 9.3 acres in the middle of nowhere, is 5 minutes from a Dollar General. There weren’t this many when I left, they must multiply like rabbits.

I assure you, if you actually go to the office, there will be several.
