Wonder if they regret having used that development time on Starfield instead of a new Fallout, because with this renewed interest due to the show a Fallout 5 would have done ridiculously well

And we have been paying for it ever since. They will never make that mistake again lol.

When I go back to read the stuff I write I think mostly "damn that guy sounds like a psycho"

nice, I'm waiting a bit to see if there's a steady stream of ongoing support before buying, but it's looking good so far

I wonder how many times I will have to see a publisher significantly harm their reputation in the PC market in a yolo bet to set up their own ecosystem and store.

I thought Sony had been conservative and decided against it when their first steam releases hit but with this move it seems possible that a Sony PC ecosystem was always in the works and it just wasn't ready for those original releases. Oh well.

The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies

Because you have wasted like 5 opportunities that NVIDIA has given you to penetrate the market on a silver platter

The 7000 series could have been so successful if they would have been willing to undercut NVIDIA significantly, it was the perfect time to strike at a time when there was a lot of discontent with NVIDIAS ridiculous pricing and VRAM offerings. But AMD would rather sell two cards at 1000 each than take the bet of trying to sell four at 750.

At least in the past you could argue that they were not in a position to take huge bets in the graphics market but they've been doing too well as a company for that excuse to hold any value anymore. The last two generations can only be explained with complacency and lack of ambition.

At this point AMD kinda deserves to give up their position to Intel in the graphics market, let's see if the new player is willing to penetrate aggressively because the old player two is clearly ok with where they are at.

Easy Red 2 is SO slept on right now relative to its quality, the work the team is putting in it, and its future potential

Always nice to see anothe ER2 enjoyer

Yet again, proof of what's always been true: eventually, there's always demand

I wonder if I'll be even worse in this one

orb dude doesn't seem to be in it so that's already a huge problem for me

 

After getting frustrated with some mechanical issues in my FDM printer lately, and realizing that most of what I do with it are jobs probably more appropriate for a resin printer, I impulse ordered a cheap resin printer just to try if they are a better fit for me.

I have read that you need to be a bit more careful with a resin printer in certain aspects. I haven't informed myself much about it yet, but from what I understand:

1 - You really don't want to be in the same room while printing, and it should be in a room with a window open or in a balcony or something similar.
2 - Always wear gloves and a mask when dealing with the material or the prints.
3 - You don't want the sun to ever hit the material for long until you have completed the print.
4 - Optionally you can get a curing machine that does a "second pass" of light, if you don't get this you should expect prints to be somewhat "gooey" and less defined.
5 - Always clean the prints with alcohol and scrub them with some sort of brush to get residues off. This would come after the last past of curing.
6 - The prints are done "upside down" and you should set your supports accordingly.

Is there anything else I'm missing? Is any of that wrong, or are there any caveats about it? I would greatly appreciate any info about the particularities, and also any stories and experiences that you wanna share about resin printing.

Thanks!
