Create by OVERWERK is a good example that uses what I’m talking about multiple times throughout.

I love when the track goes completely silent for a single rest after some buildup and then punches back into the full chorus. If that “gap” in noise is part of the melody itself it’s even cooler. It makes the following sound so much more impactful, even if the actual volume hasn’t increased by much.

Surprisingly few PSX titles here, glad to see a fellow Toy Story 2 enjoyer here, haha.

When I was four or so I my family went to have lunch at another family friends house. Their sons were a bit older than me at the time, and they let me play some games on their new PlayStation console. I can’t remember exactly what order we played them in, but the first game I ever played was either Ape Escape or Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Both games are excellent and hold a special place in my heart to this day.

I’ve got a 0.8, I just haven’t tried it yet. I feel like the prints would be too imprecise for most applications though, no?

I recall hearing a long time ago that most news sites, magazines, newspapers, etc. tend to target a sixth grade reading level. So, I don’t know if there’s been a sharp rise, but it’s not really surprising considering how far beyond most readers should be.

Use a 0.6mm nozzle, it’ll change your life.

My assumption is that he means the recommendation algorithms for social media and content feeds like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If you happen to have a 3D printer, Gridfinity would be my go-to solution. Otherwise, those Kinetic Labs containers seem like your best bet.

Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.

You could get hit by a truck the day after having your child leaving them without a parent. Don’t let fear hold you back. No one lives without experiencing any suffering at all, it’s just part of life. If you love your children and care for them, then they’re already setup to have a much better life than most will.

Oh man, we can’t make Han look like the bad guy! Just a quick select -> translateX -20% should do the trick.

Hot take: I don’t “get” Spirited Away. Like I appreciate the art and animation, but the story and characters are a confusing mess to me. I’ve heard the explanation of “it’s a critique of Japanese society”, and looking back on it I can see the symbolism, but if you need additional context for the story to make sense, then I don’t think it’s a very good movie, at least I don’t think it deserves universal acclaim if it only makes sense to one specific culture.

But… you took the bribe.

Well, self awareness goes a long way, so you’re on the right path. Lots of people get crotchety and cynical by focusing too much on things that are outside their control. Focus more on areas of your life that you can influence, and learn to enjoy your life for what it is rather than what it could be.

Honestly, if you’re the type of person who’s prone to this, disengaging from hyper cynical social media platforms (yes, including Lemmy) is probably another good idea.

My dad used to be super into politics and consumed rage-bait news on TV and social media a lot, especially during the height of covid. Once he unplugged from all of that there was a noticeable shift in his demeanor and I would say that he’s significantly happier and more content now.

Downvotes are critical, in my opinion, especially for recommendation posts. It’s a good way to combat astroturfing and let genuine discussion rise to the top.

That might be more water than most water.

My wife and I have gone on and off Keto/Low-carb diets when we start gaining weight and it works really well for both of us I ended up losing ~30lbs in the first four months. I haven’t really had to watch calories at all as the diet itself will usually naturally lower your calorie intake for the same volume of food. I don’t work out at all as I don’t have the time in my schedule between kids, work, and social obligations. I’m a programmer as well so all of my work is done sitting at a desk

English is the language that most western countries speak, and most education systems in other countries teach English as a second language.

I went back and forth and have both, but ultimately I’ve ended up enjoying FDM a lot more. It really depends on both what you want to accomplish, and how much you’re willing to spend.

I started off with a cheap Ender 3 V2, used it for a little while, then stopped using it as it was a nightmare having to level it and calibrate it constantly. After that I got an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro as I wanted to be able to make prints without all the mechanical complexity of a FDM printer. It was nice for a while, but I ended up not using it as much because I realized that I enjoyed making functional parts a lot more than art/display pieces like miniatures.

I ended up biting the bullet and getting the best printer I knew of at the time: the Prusa i3 MK3S+. I got the kit version so that I could save some money. While I wouldn’t get another kit, I do think that everyone should get a printer that they need to build from scratch at least once. I learned about every single piece of the machine in detail as I went along, and I now clearly understand what people mean when they use terms like “gantry”, “idler”, “heat break”, etc.

After assembly, the MK3S+ was effortless to use in comparison to the Ender 3. It completely changed my mind in regards to what FDM printers could be. I was even able to get some incredibly detailed sculptures out of it (though, of course, not at the level of a resin printer, but still). This printer has been my main workhorse ever since, and I’ve been using it basically nonstop for all kinds of different projects. It’s even paid for itself with a side business I’ve been running by selling parts to people on FB Marketplace.

Overall, I’d personally advocate for FDM. It is far more versatile than resin in terms of print durability, functionality, cleanliness, and size. It’s even cooler if you get into some light CAD design for making your own parts. Even if you want to make detailed models with it, you can always just swap to a smaller 0.2mm nozzle, print at a lower layer height, and get very detailed prints.

I am into woodworking, custom keyboards, gaming, and a whole host of other hobbies (including 3d printing, haha) FDM is definitely the most useful for my personal hobbies, though I have been interested in Warhammer 40K lately, so maybe a new resin printer is on the horizon for me, who knows.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide, but if I had to suggest a good start, I’d go with FDM unless you really want to make minis.
