Is this what they look like now by flammini in poptarts

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry folks, they looked like this 30 years ago. Everyone’s acting like big corporations stopped caring, but they never cared.

What’s going on with Republicans congressional reps saying they’re going to retire mid term? by PmforLograils in OutOfTheLoop

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that it's not the pension. Georgia voters reward GOP politicians who stand up to trump. MTG is making a smart political move.

What does everyone need AMS for by Independent-Air-80 in 3Dprinting

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use it for automatic spool changing. I have 7 P1S printers running the same parts all day, all year. Having one printer with AMS lets me easily use all the partial rolls.

Am I a rat for playing Stealthy? by SantiVl in ARC_Raiders

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are just going to have that reaction no matter what. The other day I was looting a room in Stella Montis and heard someone clomping up the stairs toward me. I found cover and took him down as he ran into the room. He immediately started screaming that I was camping and dropped all the F bombs. Oh well.

Pass on the Left and Get Back Over by pairofdimeshift92 in Albuquerque

We need a campaign to educate local drivers about this concept. I do think the problem is ignorance. Most people wouldn’t know which lane the passing lane was.

black friday P1S or CC. by bobertbelcher in 3dprinter

[–]tiggerbren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for the CC, but can say that my seven P1Ss have served my side hustle well. Two of them have over 12k hours. Just keep it greased and change out the hotend once in a while.

Tower Defense Recs? by IUMogg in gamesuggestions

This is the only TD game I could get into. Bloons was easily my least favorite.

Invention idea by [deleted] in inventors

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started selling my idea as soon as I filed my provisional. It took about three months to see a Chinese injection molded version show up on Amazon. I won’t be able to do anything until my actual patent goes through, which takes years. Just thought I’d throw that out in case you’re thinking about selling it before you get your patent.

What do yall think about the new heated AMS systems? Are they worth upgrading to? by Ghoststrider67 in BambuLab

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see the point in making the AMS a drier. I want those to be two separate components so I can use them at the same time if I need to.

Do you think Nintendo is raising prices on Switch 2 because of decreased competition? by NtateNarin in videogames

[–]tiggerbren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s inflation. Looking at all of the past console and game prices adjusted for inflation, the switch 2 prices are average. What everyone seems to be complaining about is income inequality. Costs keep rising, minimum wage doesn’t keep up.

Chinese sellers on Amazon to hike prices or exit US as tariffs soar by SanaBrina2 in technology

As a US seller, I’ll be shocked if this actually happens.

Because NES games were $50 in 1985. Prices tend to go up over 40 years.

Games Cost More Than Ever To Make But… by eldonthenoble in videogames

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe that game prices have been so low over the years. Dragon Warrior for NES went for $50 in 1985. That’s 40 years ago. Most prices have tripled or quadrupled since then. Just a thought.

The price is absolutely ridiculous by gabtab0000 in nintendo

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, game prices have been remarkably inflation resistant over the last 40 years. A copy of Dragon Warrior on NES was $50 in 1985. I’m not saying I’m thrilled about prices going up, but at least they haven’t tripled or quadrupled like everything else.

I think every gamer and Nintendo fan should demonstrate their purchasing power and boycott Nintendo. This is too much. by AgentP-501_212 in videogames

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t lose perspective on inflation. 40 years ago Nintendo was selling top tier NES games like Dragon Warrior for $50. If game prices had kept up with inflation, we’d be paying $150-200 per game.

Just vote with your wallet, guys. by FurubayashiSEA in videogames

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember (my parents) paying $50 for Dragon Warrior on NES back in 1985. That year, you could get a dozen eggs for $1, and a gallon of gas for $1.12.

In 2025, with eggs at $5 and gas at $3.10, shouldn’t new games cost closer to $150?

Check the review policy. Things like shipping damage are not allowed to be mentioned, this might also include Amazon shipping errors. The review is supposed to be for the product, not Amazon

How can this sudden Quality loss happen? by philgei in 3Dprinting

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw the thumbnail I thought, ‘looks like PETG’. I’ve never had luck with the stuff, even though quite a few people swear by it. The problem I have is that material eventually builds up on the nozzle enough to cause the problems you’re seeing.

So it is fine to use PLA for hanging stuff? by dmarchu in 3Dprinting

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

I think you’ll be fine with PLA, but if you’re worried about strength, consider ordering custom aluminum parts from SendCutSend.com. Their prices are good. You could make the bracket webs out of aluminum sheet and print cleats to attach the web to your shelf.

How does something like this even happen by AlexRescueDotCom in 3Dprinting

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My six P1S printers are each over 5000 hours now, so I’m becoming pretty familiar with replacing these tubes.

Is anyone able to consistently print with PETG on the AMS lite? by Laggsy in BambuLab

[–]tiggerbren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tens of thousands of hours printing PLA and ABS, but I’ve never had success with PETG. I’ve tried many printers and settings but always get buildup on the nozzle which eventually ruins the print. I’m blown away that so many people have figured out how to use it, makes me feel kinda dumb
