  • A slicer is the program that takes a 3D model and “translates it” into the sequence of actions that the printer needs to do to create that model. It is called a slicer because 3D printers build the models in horizontal layers, or in other words, in slices.

    Cura is one of the slicer programs available. There are many, divided between slicers for FDM printers (the ones that print from a spool of material) and slicers for resin printers (the ones that print from the disgusting goop that comes in bottles). Your printer tends to be packaged with a suggested one but usually you can use any of the appropriate type.

    Slicing is one of the most important parts of 3D printing, and it tends to be the difference between ending up with a pristine figure or a very blurry one. In the most extreme cases, good slicing will be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful print.

    Well shit… The last time I saw memes about how ridiculous an Apple product looked, they were about the AirPods and they ended up being ridiculously popular.

    It doesn’t matter how silly it looks to us at first, Apple could convince people that wearing dog feces on their face looks cool. Unfortunately.





  • For me getting the full Murphy journey is not worth the metric ton of diarrhea that seasons 6 and 7 dump on season 5’s beautiful, emotional ending; but it is a matter of personal preference I feel.

    BTDubs while there are fellow cultured The 100 fans prowling around, if you are looking to scratch that The 100 itch, I’ll quickly recommend Yellowjackets as that show is the closest thing to The 100 at the moment imo.







  • Anybody who’s ever played a classic Resident Evil-style game knows the feeling of getting to the final monster with all the hoarded ammo for your ultimate weapon (magnum/hunting rifle/flare gun/whatever)… Only for the monster to die in like at most a single-stack of shots because it turns out that the “ultimate lifeform” is weaker than a moderately sized car -_-





  • For me, the main concern is that Epic doesn’t have a system of purchasable keys, even after all these years. Most stores in PC have had a system with keys that has allowed users to purchase games from 3d party sites such as GreenManGaming and the like. That system has been one of the key reasons why prices have stayed in check in the platform, and why cool stuff like HumbleBundles exists.

    Without this kind of system, every time a game is exclusive to the Epic platform, it, in effect, has a single price point with no possible competition or alternative, which is no different than a console ecosystem… And a lot of the pricing on those is not great, to say the least.

    Until they have that, supporting the growth and consolidation of that store would be potentially shooting myself in the foot as a consumer.

    EDIT - Turns out, I had my info somewhat outdated, this was introduced at some point recently, at least with some retailers.

    However, on second check it doesn’t apply to games with Epic Store exclusivity, apparently (or at least the ones I’ve checked). It seems to only apply to games that are not exclusive. So concern still valid, unfortunately.

    If someone has more info about it I’d love to hear it because it looks unclear at the moment.
