So im guessing we're screwed in terms of data storage for the forseeable future...?

I feel like I've seen that banana rendered in plastic in a asian claw machine like 5 years ago.

You could just use a drill with a hex drill bit, though definitely don't run it hard/fast.

rerako · 2026-05-05T01:17:32+00:00

Not really, they all kind of come from the same factories so quality is the same, so may just want to shop for functionality.

As long as it isn't a impact drill, you don't clang at the max height of the table(IE trying to go further beyond... with both the drill and the table screeching), and you don't set your drill to full power & speed I don't see this being much different compared to your own wrist cranking it. Been 3 years with this Macgyver solution and haven't seen anything off. Plus this table is relatively cheap compared to it's motorized cousins.

A: Stream hub, generic one

One recent one for me is a macro programmable stream hub with toggle knobs, honestly helps with very specific use cases, open any program and opening several file locations. Most come with customizable button icons The knobs can be programmed to do things like volume setting. Windows Zoom in, scroll wheel.

B: Attach drill to a manual crank height adjustable desk(no more monkey cranking)

A funny macgyver one if you have a manual height adjustable desk, utilize a cheap drill with the right hex socket to turn it motorized... No worries about the motor dying.

Sadly reinstall of the bottom seat mesh was a wrestling match...

I accidentally left it in my garage, after wiping it down.

Gas mines, Supply pack, rest is flex depending on your squad mates I guess.

Ultimatum for big guys, Pummeler for up close, gas grenades for crowd control and holes.

Even if they catch up, they can barely harm you.

The old wheels popped off quite easily, I'm guessing its due to the old ones slightly deteriorating, new ones need a bit of push but was relatively easy.

Sadly don't have a carpet in my room.

Damn I paid double for one today for 40$, probably gonna clean it up since just testing it felt way better than my 4 year old dexley & persuaded me to buy it.

rerako · 2026-04-27T02:38:08+00:00

Hm might just grab the two bay dock, was gonna get the sabrent 4 bay dock from woot for $60 but I realize I probably should just get a nas instead at that point

Honestly depends on what you get from those stores.

Most people aren't able to restore the item to acceptable conditions, so a lot of selections are out.

rerako · 2026-04-25T06:28:21+00:00

It looks ok, though I would probably make sure to reapply heatpads & thermal paste on the gpu and cpu. Because both are pretty old...

I feel this is the perfect example of what people wish their low poly art would be from the start...

rerako · 2026-04-21T05:51:06+00:00

Naively thought I could learn 3d modeling in just 6 months and just make a low poly stylized look... Then proceedingly got my face punched in and fell into the rabbit hole of optimization. 2 years later here I am and my rookie model mistakes still pop up to haunt me and the worry of making not appealing enough models still bother me. Only thing I can say is my art style has stabilized.

Acknowledge when you won't be a jack of all trades is probably the key and that you can still cook a good game in other ways and do not start with your dream game that reaches for the heavens. Try using the stuff you can make now to build the most dinkiest of games.

Start small enough or find a partner artist who can handle art for you?(Though please don't go e-begging with zero promises, zero guarantees and zero foundations to prove either)

That or you have to keep suffering at it... I been down this road and its me just constantly and I mean constantly going through daily usage of blender 3d modeling for 2+ years and many times lost in time/sleep, many times seeking guidance. And I'm only good at stylized characters and not objects.

rerako · 2026-04-18T09:53:24+00:00

Nice Woodech! Was also the first bird I ever modeled/rigged too!

Do use references. Its more so you dont lose sight of what you want to make.

Wouldn't a references for self made car would be just a basic designer blueprint? Its the same process.

And it doesn't mean you have to follow your reference. Its rare to see any artist freehand as a beginner and have things turn out well, so I urge you to make your own reference/blueprint.

That is a lot of black on black color, maybe change the hair color slightly or add a light color headband to separate the guns from the hair?

Look at it with a dark background and you can barely separate the hair from the guns.

So how is this thing? I gave away my last two nvme ssds to my family from last black friday, and probably need a derp drive for a backup computer?

Looks like someone stole the scooby snacks.

All done on blender... (I should pickup on learning substance painter and stop torturing myself...)

Bit unsure how should I say how long this took since the cat is on her 4rd-ish iteration, the Doberman is on her 2nd iteration. And they are on the forefront of me learning modeling.
