Prototyping some bling for my inline skates

Attached: 4 images Prototyping some bling for my #InlineSkates with #FreeCAD and #Blender. Printed on my #Anycubic #PhotonMono. Surprised at how well things fit together on the first try, though I'm going to tweak the size and position of things so they don't hang off the back quite so much. #CAD ...

Time to Move on From PS5?
  • I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam's streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

  • Revolutionary indie train sim "Derail Valley" rated "overwhelmingly positive" after huge update
  • this looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it's been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She's doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don't give up!

  • Just bought lumber to build 90s themed arcade in my shed
  • Really cool idea, hoping to see updates on the project as it goes!

  • What is your favorite LIVE album?
  • I really love A Show of Hands by Rush. It's one of my favorite of their eras, though I feel like the "synth era" isn't as universally loved by fans

  • whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?
  • Yeah, it wasn't until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

  • I'm feeling overwhelmed by my To Do list. How do you cope?

    As the title says, I'm getting pretty overwhelmed by a growing list of tasks I have to do. Laundry is piling up, I still need to unpack my car from a roadtrip last weekend, and an issue I've been working at work has been dragging on for too long.

    What are your techniques for resetting and getting through tasks that have been sitting around for too long?

    I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?
  • For me after some time away from PC gaming, getting a steam deck was one thing that got me back into it. The other thing though was definitely selecting relatively short games. I played a lot of open-ended games that I could never finish like rimworld or crusader kings, it was nice to get back into games with a beginning middle and end. And in the same vein it means I've been playing stuff that I was interested in playing back in the 2010s but didn't really have the time/money/hardware for

  • Beehaw, what is your favourite thing about your town?
  • I like the library, it has a pretty good board game collection, I've gotten some switch games out from there rather than dropping $60-70 on them, not to mention books, movies, audiobooks, museum discount passes, etc.

    Also, it's nice being back in a town with sidewalks, decent low-density roads around, local businesses nearby. A lot of my middle school/high school life was lived on a narrow hilly road with no shoulder that made it hard to get anywhere before I could drive.

  • Whatever happened to federal student loan forgiveness?
  • Do you think that a significant number of people who would benefit from some amount of student loan forgiveness are in this situation? Do you believe that it would be good to do nothing so that some undeserving people aren't helped as well?

  • Whatever happened to federal student loan forgiveness?
  • If there were a progressive candidate in the general election I would've voted for them 🤷 Believe me I didn't vote for Biden with much hope for anything changing for the better in the country.

  • Looking for OneNote Alternative
  • I'm using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it's had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.

  • Whatever happened to federal student loan forgiveness?

    Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

    If you aren't from the US, how was your higher education experience?

    What are you playing this week?
  • I've been playing Dishonored 2 on my Steam Deck. Played the original for the first time and went through in a pretty non-stealthy high chaos way, so I'm trying to go for a low chaos playthrough here.

    I also grabbed Cassette Beasts on sale, so I've put a few minutes into that and I'm enjoying the 3D with 2D sprites aesthetic that I loved so much in the NDS Pokemon game

  • do you notice things that most people don't? For example compression artifacts in video/audio, frame rate stutters in games, etc.

    I find things like this annoying and literally no one I know seems to notice them at all. I went to see across the spider verse in "IMAX" with some friends and could literally see the pixels of the projector. Great movie, but if I'm going to see a movie in IMAX I shouldn't be having issues with the resolution.

    How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • Just finished Dishonored and now I'm on to Dishonored 2

  • Katamari Damacy and Katamari Damacy 2
  • Katamari is just such a gem of a game. Totally novel concept, amazing presentation, lots of replayability. Really hard to follow up on that

  • Suggestions for slightly older AAA games for Steam Deck?
  • I just played through Dishonored, which worked great! Also Assassin's Creed 2 was a fun one to finally finish from the backlog. It was the first game I completed on the steam deck and enjoyed messing around with configuring the controls to take advantage of the touchpads (used the left one to select from the weapon wheel)

  • Say hello to Chester and Phoebe!

    We love our rabbits, Chester (brown) is very laid back, and Phoebe (REW) is more feisty. She likes to pretend that she's tough by grunting at everything and everyone, but she melts for pets

    Tobyn Jacobs creates giant paper cutouts

    This video was a total rollercoaster ride. I started watching expecting the usual youtube cringe commentary, but wound up with a pretty compelling story of a guy who just really enjoys making art, and his family who supports him

  • Where is Phantom Hourglass? I loved that game!

  • What open source project(s) are you working on?
  • I've started contributing to logseq, and I hope to start making contributions to castopod

    Both are projects that I'm actively using, and I want to help them improve!

  • Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
  • I'm pretty sure KDE neon is only meant for testing KDE applications and so isn't guaranteed to be stable with anything but those packages. Other distros should be maintained with more general-purpose use in mind

  • Castopod is a great way to self-host a podcast which interacts with the fediverse
