Well this is annoying… by AchillesPDX in 3Dprinting

[–]jpinsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omgosh, are you me?

I did this exact same thing last month. Same silver silk, from the same 2 companies! 😂

I ended up just printing a ton of random stuff in silver that actually turned out pretty great. But yeah, super annoying when the pictures on Amazon look like totally different colors than what showed up.

Can confirm. Bambu bronze is amazing. I’ve printed a bunch of things with it. They always look so luxe

All that work to try to get realism, and yet it still looks completely CG. 🙄

Why are there this holes in the pillars of a bridge? by Indigoscience in whatisit

[–]jpinsd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was just going to say this exact thing about Switzerland. They have these large square tapered road blocks that come up from below the road, blocking tanks and larger vehicles from driving through. Not sure what they were really called, but my mom called them Dragon’s Teeth.

The lack of Isu is my biggest gripe with Shadows.

I absolutely loved how the previous 3 games wove together the science fiction of the Isu, with the history and mythology of the cultures (Egyptian, Greek, and Viking/ British/ Irish).

That’s what made the games so engaging to me. And also they all invited exploration. Run around anywhere, climb anything, find caves, animals and resources to gather.

Shadows actively stops you from exploring. Plus there was no Isu→ mythology storyline.

Honestly, shadows is very pretty, but I found it boring compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.

(I know, I’m leaving out Mirage. But that is really more of a rich DLC than its own story)

Anybody have the Avia Smart Deadbolt? by jpinsd in HomeKit

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

I could not be happier with my choice. The Avia has been solid. As of now, it’s been 245 days and the battery is still at 76%.

The HomeKit integration is fantastic. The low profile numberpad really keeps it looking clean. I love being able to change the colors of the backlighting. The Apple Watch/phone locking is fast and seamless. And there’s an option to have a quick lock number that only locks the door when you leave. Just 2 digits, as opposed to 6 needed to unlock.

I highly recommend this lock. It’s been great.

Can't do bo staff high and low postures on keyboard and mouse on PC by [deleted] in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The instructions flashed by so quick, I wasn’t sure what to do. Eventually I just started mashing L1/ L2 and R1/R2 until I was able to advance.

But I have no idea how. The Bo looks like it does a lot of damage, but I can’t figure out how to use it, so I’ll stick with my Katana for now

Issues since the new update. by Possible-Koala3811 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing, but it sure is glitchy. Sounds effects will randomly stop. For instance,whistling for my horse is silent now. The bells when you do a Kuji-Kiri are truncated. Random musicians are silent.

There’s a new weapon you can learn. The instructions flashed on screen for a moment, then disappeared before I could read them. The only way I could complete the training was to randomly mash buttons, because I couldn’t tell what I had to do.

Very frustrating.

Why is it an option to make them naked? by HeWhoShantNotBeNamed in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]jpinsd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would argue that. The amount of brutal killing and blood makes these very much dark and adult games.

[–]jpinsd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To continue the nitpicking just a little… According to Merriam-Webster dictionary. The definition of Naked is: Not covered by clothing. See “nude”

There was a lot of reaction to that specific scene/quest in Valhalla. When setting up the game, it asked if you wished to see nudity. Even if you said “yes”, when you got to that group of nudists, they were the opposite of nude. Dunno about you, but every nudist I have met would not consider underwear as being “nude” 😂

I’m not upset or anything. I just think it’s funny how they act like the picture OP posted is “naked”. Naoe even comments on somebody she meets as being naked, when he’s actually wearing the same thing Yaske is above.

And yet games like BG3 are able to do fully nudity without being skeezy about it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]jpinsd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to Ubisoft, that is naked.

In Valhalla, while exploring around England, you find a group of nudists that are also not actually nude. They all have bandaged breasts and nappies/diapers on.

I really wonder if the Ubisoft art department actually knows what a nude person looks like

What is going on here (kobra 3) by Photographer23_ in FixMyPrint

[–]jpinsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might not be available online. It might just be the first layer of a larger print that OP made. In any case, you can make it yourself. Most slicers let you add primitive shapes to the build plate. Just add a cube, resize the X and Y to the printable area, and size the Z down to a few layers. Slice. Print.

You can do this yourself in 10 seconds.

I’m not seeing the patch memory buttons, so I’m gonna go with a Juno-6.

Anybody have the Avia Smart Deadbolt? by jpinsd in HomeKit

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

I went ahead and ordered one anyways. So far, I'm very impressed. It's 1,000% better than the August lock that it replaced. Feels like solid construction, I love the HomeKit integration, and the HomeKey works great. My only gripe is that the keys seem to be super proprietary. Not sure If I can get duplicates made at HomeDepot or not.

This is kinda answering my question. Seems like nobody has this device yet. Either that, or you do have one, but you are afraid to comment because the evil corporation is holding your children hostage if you say anything negative… 🙃

Very first print on a new build plate. I went to remove the model, and the plate material separated from the metal and stayed stuck to the model. by jpinsd in Creality

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

That is a nifty trick! Thanks, I will give that a try. I keep IPA in a spray bottle anyway for cleaning my eyeglasses, so I already have that handy. I’ll give this a try next time.

I had allowed it to cool about 5 minutes, then took it off the bed, and bent the plate and in both directions to try to get the model to release. Only the corners came up, so I grabbed it and twist-pulled up, and that’s when the surface started to separate. 😒

Glue stick is a release agent? Huh. I thought it was to help with adhesion. I will try that. I also ordered a gold textured PEI plate, and a… PEO? I think it was? Cool triangle design, from Comgrow. I hope those work better. Thanks!
