Steam announces game recording beta
  • Despite it being in the FAQ, all it actually says is that they try to cause as little performance loss as they could. No idea how much that is, or if people will turn it off to get a few frames back.

    It does say that without a GPU the performance is considerable.

  • Looking for new Site Admins
  • I say to one of their neighbors, “their pies tasted better when they were using real sugar, but they’re scared the kids’ mommies will be mad because their kids are up all night so they just took the sugar out. Didn’t even replace it with anything. The Johnson’s still use real sugar, they don’t care.”

    Actually, I would say that unless it impacts you negatively, you shouldn't criticize what others are giving freely. If they ask for criticism, that's fine. But you shouldn't volunteer it.

    That "free pie stand" didn't do you wrong. You dumped a heap of negativity on them for something they did out of the goodness of their heart, spending their time, energy and hand-earned money on. And you were negative about it, staining their memory of that event for your own selfish desires.

    If they had asked you, "why don't you want this pie?" you could have answered, nicely. But they didn't ask you.

    Instead, you should have just left and gone to the Johnston's pie stand instead.

  • Looking for new Site Admins
  • I 100% agree with your point about security and private information, but you are way over qualified for this "job". ;)

    It's kind of weird to ask someone to have all that mod experience and then expect them to just post their private information publicly, though. Surely if they have enough experience they'll already know what a bad idea it is to publicly post people's information, and it'll be hard to get them to apply.

    It reminds me of a past job recognizing that I have a lot of cashier experience, but then not being able to understand why I refuse to share a till with anyone else. Duh, because I've been through that pain before and any smart office will want to avoid it, too.

  • Just switched from a K1M to a P1S and it's night and day
  • IMO, you didn't get unlucky with the K1M or lucky with the P1S. That's the normal state of printers. Most printers are hard to dial in well, and the Bambu printers work like a dream out of the box. Luck is involved for anyone that didn't start in those states.

  • Any thoughts on a fully printed voron?
  • You can never get to "fully 3d printed" unless you can print metal, and even then the tolerances just aren't there yet.

    But if you want a 3d printer that's as 3d printed as it can get, why not look at things that were designed for it, like Rook or Mulbot or The 100?

  • David Copperfield faces allegations of sexual misconduct from 16 women, including minors
  • I don't know about this instance, but in the general, it could be that the person is a complete fucking douche, and people are trying to stick it to them however they can. That might mean lying, blowing things out of proportion, or just slightly twisting the truth.

    And once sharks smell blood, they swarm. One allegation will lead to another.

    Again, I don't know the situation here and refuse to pick a side. Guilt is for the courts to decide. But there's plenty of people who will lie, cheat, and steal for money or fame.

  • Marvel Rivals dev apologizes for a "inappropriate and misleading" contract
  • That was highly specific language. There was no miscommunication. They were inappropriate. They were not misleading. They said exactly what they meant.

    Also, "All terms will go live only when both parties have discussed and have agreed.” ? Hah. The vast majority agreed last time! It was only a vocal few who didn't agree, and there will always be some who don't agree. That's such a nothing statement that I can't even believe they said it.

  • Weird Underextrusion
  • I finally solved it. Voron KAMP's Voron Purge technique puts little blobs of filament on the bed. I also have Voron Tap. My tool head was hitting those blobs and moving upwards slightly, causing the extruder not to squish the filament into the bed in the same pattern as the voron logo from the purge.

    My solution was to initially to move the purge further way, but that kills large parts of my bed usage. So I just wrote my own purge line script and I'm using that now.

    I hope this helps you solve your problem!

  • I designed a 3D Printable e-reader case for Kobo's newest E-Readers
  • I bought the Kobo Libra Color and I love it so far. Previously I've had various Kindles and a Meeebook P78, and I like the Kobo a lot better so far. And I'm still just using it for B&W books at the moment.

    The color is pretty faded, as you'd expect from e-ink. But I do enjoy that the book covers are in color.

    I was actually hoping this was going to be a cover for my model, but oh well. :)

  • Favourite controllers
  • Gamesir T4 Kaleid. I love the hall effect joysticks, and it feels like it's the right size. The one negative is that it's wired-only.

    OTOH, the GameSir Nova (not lite) is hot garbage. I hate almost everything about it, and its wireless PC connection (without the dongle that it does not come with) is trash. It's basically only good as a Switch controller... And I haven't even actually tried it for that.

    The GameSir Nova Lite is much better, but still too small and you need to use the slightly-older 4200 firmware (from the official app) instead of the latest, because they got stupid about things.

    I somewhat like the Xbox Elite V2 controller, but you have to get a good one. A bad one will have really crappy triggers that sometimes won't work. I think I've even heard that the sticks are sometimes wonky. And it's not hall effect.

  • Resin Printing: Good for a Beginner with Limited Space?
  • I have plenty of space, and I still sold off my resin printer because of fumes, mess, and general headaches. I don't recommend it if you aren't fully prepared for what it requires to do it safely and sanely.

  • Steam HW survey: Mac are 1.35%, Linux 1.90%... but is the industry reacting to this?
  • What I've heard from gamedevs is that Linux games are their lowest sales and their highest bug reports. Some of that may be from working on a system they aren't used to, but it just reinforces the idea that they aren't going to make money there yet.

  • Weird Underextrusion

    On the bottom of my prints, there's an area of underextrusion and I can't figure out what's causing it.

    I first noticed it when I switched back to a textured PEI bed while trying to print ASA. It's on 20x20mm squares, and it's on the test print for setting up pressure advance... But only on the left-most object.

    It's the same even if I add 2 lines of skirt or not. (In addition to my KAMP Voron purge.)

    It happens everywhere on the bed that I've tested. It happens to PLA, but it harder to see. For ASA, it's very obvious. For PLA, it's almost as smooth as the rest of the surface, but it's there if you know what you're looking for.

    I've only been printing PLA for quite a while now, so I don't know when this started.

    I've got an LDO Voron 2.4 with Tap, KAMP, Revo hot end. I've calibrated pressure advanced and changed the value, and I've tried different z offsets with the textured bed, which doesn't change it. (But does change how good the rest of the bottom surface looks.)

    Anyone got any ideas?
