I have a flashforge 5m pro that i technologically got for free thru school when i used to go. honestly not a fan of this machine i got and both my nozzles broke or did something funky and replacements aint cheap. I cant return it because it was done thru school. I live with parents and they suggest getting a nozzle but i want to prove them wrong if possible? Im wondering can i get a working 3d printer for cheaper than a new nozzle or build one?

 

Ive got some ideas to try with a flashdrive ive picked up but i want to know what others would do with such a device? I was thinking i could use it for retro gaming or something like important files.

What would you do?

I know its not alot of room but i got it for cheap.

 

Im not even sure what to draw and what style, supply's i need? Im mostly stumped on if art is helpful or good for somebody such as myself?

What do you think should i pick up art or something else? please try to keep the response brief as im not in the mood to read a whole novel.

 

Im dyslexic pretty bad, but somehow all my letters are just uppercase and lower case at almost random but there is a pattern to my madness that im not good at explaining. Is it possible to write normally or improve my handwriting? I want to work on many projects but they require planning or writing such as a comic i want to someday do or make a video game. Im not sure what to do for those examples.

 

Im curious if its possible to enter a game competition or something as a casual player? I want to someday atleast try one but im not sure what game to get better at or what sites to use to enter some without making myself look like a fool? I also dont want to pay because thats sort of like gambling at the start.

I have a pretty big bucket list thats always changing if you coudent tell.

 

Ive wanted to be a gaming youtuber sense i was a kid but i realized im pretty boring and i dont have anything interesting to say, im also not sure if ill stick with it like most do, but i want to try anyways. Ive condierd playing without voice but that would be even more boring and im not a pro gamer to say.

What would you advise?

 

So im in a almost weekly dnd 5e group but i feel like i need something more to do in my personal time. Im considering trying solo but im used to being in a group and not by myself, and i feel like i cant get creative enough to play solo.

I recently found a book (as seen in image above) and im not sure if i should try it or if there are better solutions?

What would you advise?

I mostly play single player but it would help if i could play like runescape or fortnight on it. I also like messing with ai a little so ollama is a optional bonus. I play a mix of games but most of what i got is rogue likes but im looking to try more games. I want the laptop to be 64 bit and portable, my main focus is performance and battery life. I may be asking too much? I got 600 dollars but most of it has to go towards parents bills and such, i get paid by the government for being autistic. Im not sure how to make my own money but i hope to slowly save up.

 

I already have a semi-gaming desktop but i need something more portable to go with on the go. Im wondering what the cheapest laptop for games and general use is, and where to find it at? I like amd because its usually cheaper or better than NVIDIA in some cases.

please also include the price. I would prefer to buy 2nd hand or refurbished to save on costs if i even do get the money for a better laptop.

Im sure you got your hopes up but its a bummer it never actually happened.

 

Just another one of those questions that have been on my mind. I want to know what its like to be in a competitive game competition and if its worth it. Theres no way ill even be in 1 because they look hard and im a casual gamer.

I suppose that could work i usually just play single player games so im not use to talking but im sure i can figure something out.

I like gaming and watching youtube but those are not helpful skills i have?

 

Like i want to do something where i am my own boss, i make my own time. Im just not sure how possible something like that would be or if its a good idea, Im even sure what i could do to be self employed. I tend to dream big and this may be one of those dreams. I just feel limited on what i can do, Like im too afraid to drive and im stuck at home because i have to look after parents and such. I dont even know how to make a actual resume.

 

I switched to catchyos not too long ago but i also want to get into gamedev im just not sure which engine to go with? I looked in scratch but i find it annoying (visual scripting). Im not sure if i should try godot or some other engine now. Im also not sure where to post at sense itch has become questionable, i also want to try game jams aswell.

 

I feel like a total loser maybe because of hormones or possibility that ive done nothing my whole like. Ive had some interest/ideas on what to do but all of them are complex and im not sure how to start simple. I want to make games but it requires coding, art, a cool idea, and more but i stink at all those stuff and im impatient for some reason. Its like i want life to be easy but its not. The only think ive pushed thru is dnd, i like it depending on the group, but right now i feel burned out and numb. I just need something for my personal life. It would help if i could do it from a computer because thats what i have or for free.

Reddit is just a mess and very toxic expectantly sense it wont allow me to login anymore. Some of the worst places that were mostly non-nsfw were teen subs and sidheuste subs from what i experienced.

I just like lemmy better and the community, lemmy also offer more freedom without the need for a karma requirement to post.

I believe i mostly like little hand tools or anything that could be useful. Im pretty new to the world of 3d printing i would say.

Have you used peertube, how good is it?

[–] GrumpyCat@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about moding, texture packs, i wanted to try those but does said drasl support theses?

[–] GrumpyCat@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like money topics but im no expert and people say its sad to have money as a hobby. I also really like computers but atlast i cant code, or do any sort of art. I did take a art class when i used to got to school but i never got anywhere. I tend to want the simple ways of life instead of just doing something which really bugs me. Like i use ai tools way too much instead o just doing something in terms of daily random questions i have. Ive really wanted to make a youtube channel but i struggle with ideas and starting very badly.

Sorry if i ranted a bit.

Im 19 the 80s sounded cool but im not from that time period.

[–] GrumpyCat@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Ive thought about just doing a case swap and upgrading what i can but that dosent really seem worth doing. Also yes what i mostly have is optiplex-like systems. I have found some with a i7 on the other hand, the best machine i found came with a i7 and a 4vram nvidia card. Im mostly lost on what online marketplaces to list on.
