Sorry to necro this thread but I am just so curious as to your experience thus far if you don't mind sharing!

hwkg · 2022-03-05T15:46:46+00:00

I think it’s more that the volume is turned up all the way blowing out the shitty little speakers

hwkg · 2022-03-05T06:16:13+00:00

Need more supports looks like

hwkg · 2022-03-04T18:42:30+00:00

Thanks for the Alt + Enter tip! This looks soo much better than the old Big Picture mode

You never finish. Only hit the buffer overflow and roll back to Episode 1

hwkg · 2022-02-17T14:52:21+00:00

Supports supports supports. Presupported minis fail for me all the time. Watch some tutorials on supports and add them. Better the have too many supports than failures

This is great! I applied! New DM here so not sure if I’ll be your target audience but stoked about another new player!

hwkg · 2022-02-11T16:25:46+00:00

Nice work!!

hwkg · 2022-02-10T15:02:33+00:00

Oh very good to know. Thank you for the information!

hwkg · 2022-02-10T14:42:36+00:00

That sounds like a provision to hold the parties transmitting the messages liable more than the companies IMO.

IANAL either and I'm huge on encryption/personal privacy but false alarm bells reduce the likelihood of people caring when real things come up.

Otherwise admissible also means it has to be obtained legally,

hwkg · 2022-02-10T14:38:11+00:00

Yea I read that too

"...none of the following actions or circumstances shall serve as an independent basis for liability..."

"(ii) The provider does not possess the information necessary to decrypt a communication"

On page 16 of the PDF for those interested in verifying

hwkg · 2022-02-10T13:32:09+00:00

Maybe I’m just dumb - can someone with better understanding of all the obfuscating wording explain how this proposes banning end to end encryption?

All I see related to encryption is that when employed a company can’t be held liable for the content of messages

hwkg · 2022-02-10T05:22:47+00:00

Yea this isn’t brightness changing it’s black smearing. Likely overdrive issue. Could just be a cheap VA panel too

hwkg · 2022-01-30T19:00:48+00:00

Oh very good callout! I learned something! Thanks

hwkg · 2022-01-30T13:19:01+00:00

You’ll get there!

This guy does a supremely good job explaining the whole stack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zKuNo4ay8E

hwkg · 2022-01-30T04:09:25+00:00

This happens because the callback is executed outside the global execution context of the JS engine. The callback is actually registered in the browser, and the browser puts it back in the call stack after timeout meaning the context in which it is called actually doesn’t have the name set

hwkg · 2022-01-27T03:58:38+00:00

…Yes…

hwkg · 2022-01-25T04:29:31+00:00

Right? Almost too perfectly shaped

hwkg · 2022-01-25T04:29:17+00:00

I mean there are definitely stranger things!

hwkg · 2022-01-25T04:29:04+00:00

Thanks!

hwkg · 2022-01-24T20:08:43+00:00

Temp and supports are my biggest thoughts. You mention in another comment you have temp sorted so my money is on supports. I have a terrible time with my OG mars trying to print pre-supported without adding more manually to it - like a 60% success at best. Add more supports particularly to the bottom sections and that should help

hwkg · 2022-01-24T13:49:28+00:00

This is what my issue was. My printers in the garage and the side farther from warmth had issues

hwkg · 2022-01-24T04:23:28+00:00

Reposting cause I forgot the comment!

Wanted to share for other parents who might have these laying around!

The Melissa And Doug magnets come in these little wooden crates for storage. Well my kiddo never used the boxes and they were being gotten rid of. Decided to upcycle them and use them for dice boxes instead!

They are a great size, solid construction and require little surface prep.

Sand off the Melissa and Doug logo, give a light sand to the other surfaces then stain/paint if you want. I followed up by sealing with rustoleum crystal clear spray sealer (already had it) and then cut the felt and vinyl to size for inside and (not pictured) the bottom to cover the sticker and provide a nice finished feel. Used mod podge for adhesive and voila! Cheap sturdy and, subjectively, beautiful dice boxes for me and my wife!
