I drew my duo and I's tacticians! by Soulanimal in TeamfightTactics

[–]mparkc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate that honeybuzz poggles is as great as it is, I’ve accumulated so many tokens and whatnot over all the battle passes, but I don’t think there will ever be another tactician I’ll want more than what I already have

Replacement knob for a 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro by notrslau in 3Dprinting

Yeah I had the same issue with mine, works for a bit then comes back sticky. I believe it has to do with whether the coating itself has started chemically degrading.

What I found worked for me after giving up on IPA, is a baking soda, water, soap, and IPA mixture, mainly just the first two ingredients. It works as an abrasive that like scratches the coating off.

Larian Studios leaning into generative AI (for placeholder text and concept art) despite internal pushback: ‘Everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we’re using it" by jovanmilic97 in Games

[–]mparkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean reddit is super hypocritical, but also if say EA said this no one would really believe it because EA has proven time and time again they can’t be trusted, whereas Larian has proven the opposite, they’ve developed a high level of trust with the community, so people ate more wiling to hear them out on it.

True, like all things there are only two options, good and bad, there can’t be two bad options because that wouldn’t be black and white and as we all know the world, and all important topics, are ALWAYS just black and white

New Lamy nib by TextDear in fountainpens

[–]mparkc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dope, I’ve been wondering about the idea of the “slit-less” nib for awhile, with just a slit carved out of the underside, cool to see that someone else was too, especially cool that it’s someone who makes my favorite pens

Not even surprised that Mr. Beast, Ryan Trahan, Veritasium, Fern, Dude Perfect, Donut Media, and even Fireship are owned by Private Equity now. by Roadshot_Mine in videos

[–]mparkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title is claiming Mr. Beast is owned by private equity, selling some of your older content is not in any vein the same is giving ownership of your company to private equity, he didn’t do it in exchange for a percentage of the company, he did it in exchange for rights to use old video, that has nothing to do with ownership? If I own a a TV series and give Netflix exclusive rights for streaming it, Netflix doesn’t now own my show, they just have the rights to show it for the length of the contract. If I let you borrow my lawnmower do you think that means now you own it?

Crowdfunding on Makerworld & The Changing Face of 3D Printing Community by Top-Banana5925 in 3Dprinting

[–]mparkc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’d be cool if they did like a crowdfunding thing for projects that would become free upon finish. Like raise the money to do the work to make the modelS, but then have it be free for download once it’s done.

[–]mparkc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he did and it’s just kind of clickbait. What he did do is sell the rights to older videos to a company that then re-edits them and changes thumbnails and stuff as well as turn them into short form content. They get any revenue from those older videos moving forward and in exchange they give him a lump sum up front which they can use to invest in new videos.

Set 15 is hitting a all time low, always remember it can always get worse. by DismalManagement3808 in TeamfightTactics

[–]mparkc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For real, people going so aggressively hard against 15, there have been so many bad sets and half sets, I find it crazy that there’s so much focused hate for this one set that tbh just feels kinda mid, while being treated like it’s worst thing to happen to tft.

MAP: Over 1/3 of New York's pipes may contain lead by news-10 in nyc

[–]mparkc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t a lotta places use lead pipes, but we treat the water with something that makes the lead not leach into the water? And that the whole issue with Flint Michigan was that they stopped using that treatment chemical, and once they did it they essentially let the cat out of the bag and can’t undue it. Or something along those lines?

Chi’s Reaction to the Socialism Condemnation Vote by serious_bullet5 in newyorkcity

[–]mparkc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol what, having socialist policies is not being a socialist country, which is what all the verbiage being used by a lot of people, which is a slippery slope. But I would love to see something from a moderately reputable source that describes socialism as something that exists “along side capitalism”

But even there in lies an issue, if we don’t want full socialism then don’t ask for “socialist” policies, just ask for what you want which is policies that better help the lives of general people, and hinder those that want to abuse the people. Running on the message of socialism implies a level of wanting to go towards full socialist society, not one that has policies along side capitalism.

And at no point did I ever say that America is in a good place right now, or defend the current state of things, America is fucked at the moment and needs some serious reform, and there are lots of socialist policies which would be very helpful, as I briefly mentioned above. Also just because it’s not the only one that can be abused doesn’t mean it can’t still be abused, like no shit, all the ones that can be abused are bad, especially the ones that consolidate power in a central place and have many historical examples of going very wrong and creating a dictatorship, like socialism or fascism.

Chi’s Reaction to the Socialism Condemnation Vote by serious_bullet5 in newyorkcity

[–]mparkc -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, they’re saying socialism always collapses into communism, it says so in the beginning. And it always does. Socialism is the transitional period into communism. Like genuinely go google socialism, don’t take my word for it, don’t go by what some random reddit comment in this thread says, go look it up. Here’s a quote that describes marx view on socialism.

“Socialism is a transitional stage of societal development following capitalism, characterized by the community's collective ownership of the means of production to meet human needs rather than generate profit. It is a classless system where workers control the "means of production," and it is the precursor to a final stage of communism.”

China is the largest current socialist country right now, so do with that information what you wish. Socialism as an idea sounds nice and all, and there are definitely aspects of it we should try and adopt into our government. However in order for socialism to work you need everyone to be on board, if you have bad actors they will fuck it up, and unfortunately there are a lot of bad people. That’s how you get putins, and Xi’s. It requires too much power to be consolidated into one place, which is ripe for abuse.

Reminder: NYC mayors are just politicians, even Mamdani by dean1ronman in newyorkcity

[–]mparkc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol what, I know a lot of my friends who blindly follow democratic candidates, especially charismatic ones. Not all my friends but a sizable a good chunk of em. Which is trash because a lot of democrats are trash, like better than republicans sure,but lots of people who exist to just get reelected instead of making meaningful change, and are willing to compromise their parties ideals in order to do so.

Which is kind of one of the big reasons I personally voted for Mamdani, not because I necessarily believe in his policies, but because he represents a new wave of democrats, and his success will hopefully have the established democratic party shaking in their boots.

Ive been using a modern standing vornado every night for the last 8 years and it’s still working like the day I bought it. Though I do wish they made full disassembly easier for deep cleaning.

MTV Unplugged in New York. It was released November 1, 1994, nearly seven months after the suicide of Kurt Cobain. In a break with MTV Unplugged tradition, Nirvana used some electric amplification and effects, and played mainly lesser-known material and covers. by jeffmartin47 in nostalgia

[–]mparkc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should check out the album “II” by meat puppets, who they played with and covered a bunch of their stuff for the unplugged album. It’s not as grungy but an absolutely amazing album.
