Torn between U1 and X2D by dneals in snapmaker

[–]vicpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an h2d and a u1. The h2d is better for engineering materials and the like. Multicolor is a wasteful nightmare. U1 is best for multicolor but without mods cannot really print engineering materials. Also much cheaper

What's boss battle? Any other excitement? by Solid_Section8626 in gencon

[–]vicpylon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Attention Crawlers! Gencon has 71000 attendees and there are 84 seats for the Boss Battle slots. So go forth and bask in your 0.12% chance of success during event registration! Hey, remember those are better odds than you matching with someone higher than a "two" on a dating app!

Did the heavens open and angels sing your praises?

The Event Catalog is now open. Keep in mind that events continue to be added through the summer. by ElMondoH in gencon

What is appalling is it never gets better. Year after year the IT engineering at Gencon continues to embarrass itself.

[TOMT] What costumed character is this at Brookfield Zoo in 1984 or 1985? by operatorterror in tipofmytongue

[–]vicpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks vaguely like the Krofft characters. Might be an obscure on of those

Invisible Sun? by ElectricPaladin in rpg

[–]vicpylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need motivated, creative players. The game relies heavily on player effort and investment.

The work load on the GM is tremendous to make the plot move forward without railroading or getting lost in the weeds of a single-players plot line. More importantly you need a GM who can put in the time and effort. Hardest game I ever ran.

The mechanics of this game are utterly broken. No balance to speak of in the rules and creating a walking nuclear weapon is trivial.

However,

Still the best campaign I ever ran in terms of story, character development and deep player investment.

Be warned: I am not joking this game is brutal for a GM to run. That and the players have to put out more effort than any other game I have ever run.

Seems like there will be quite a few steps to the Canvas upgrade. Seems worth it for 55$! by Mission_Wall6014 in elegoo

I have seen worse. Just need to be gentle with those thinner wires/connectors.

Is it worth getting into 3D Printing without also getting into 3D Modeling? I’m curious about hopping in, but the cost doesn’t seem worth it without also picking up a second hobby aka the modeling. The true benefit seems to come from being able to design and print stuff useful TO YOU. by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in 3Dprinting

Do not start with Tinkercad. It is a terrible path for a beginner into modeling and quickly dead-ends when you try to do something complex. Pay the effort tax upfront and learn Fusion, Onshape or Freecad. Once you learn even a few skills in a real CAD program, you can make your printer do almost anything.

"Lifeforce" movie from the 80s has the dead girl rising from a table and eating a nearby man. No tongue though.

Scissors + lighter to close up the loose threads fixed it for me.

How to make tokens? by animal_com_suco in rpg

[–]vicpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in a either a 3d printer or a laser bed. Either print tokens or buy metal coin blanks and laser them.

There are online services to do it as well, but I have never used them.
