There's room for accessibility options, no one is forcing you to use them. While there are tools in the souls series to solve issues, there's no reason not to have some sort of scaling option at the least for people that want it, things like directional subtitles, colourblind mode, those are just basic. Why alienate players who would otherwise enjoy the game but may have limitations, it's ok for games to have complex systems and themes that may not appeal to everyone, that's totally independent of accessibility. I personally really enjoyed my playthroughs, and would love other people to be able to enjoy these games as well, and I'm pretty sure fromsoft intends for their games to be enjoyable.

Your point about rhythm games doesn't support your point, guitar hero and rockband both had difficulty settings and later entries had nofail modes. They also had practice modes where you could slow down sections you were struggling with and work through it.

Quick edit: my only real complaint is FOV, camera is super zoomed in on some of the giant bosses, DS1 remastered supported ultrawide, would have been nice for Elden Ring to have that at leaat

Could have a bot that links to a git wiki, or even just a sidebar with knowledge base stuff would be nice for that.

I'm a data engineer/architect and it's the same over here, I get asked constantly "how can we stuff AI into this solution?", never "should we consider using AI here? Is there a value?", my view, people don't understand their data and don't want to put in the effort to understand their data and think that it'll magically pull actionable insights from their dataswamp, nothing new, that's been a constant for as long as I recall.

Like I totally understand the draw of new and exciting, but there's so much you can do with traditional analytics, and in my view you really need to have a good foundation before doing anything else.

I swear historically they (the NDP) would have been vehemently against this as I recall them being very pro privacy in the past.

I'm also thinking that way wrt to "we need more fast charging for EVs to work", I recall that plugging into a standard outlet will get you something like 5-8 km an hour, slow charging is totally acceptable for most people's usages. If you're in an area where block heaters are the norm you already have outlets at parking spots, if I could commute to work and plug it in, covers most commutes in a 8 hour day, even those of us who rarely go in and live 70k away I'd be getting most of my range back. For the amount I drive, level 1 charging is more than sufficient.

I think a compact with 2-300 k range would suit me just fine, would cover the odd longer trip and I'll totally grab a rental for anything longer, like I already do it I need to move a fridge.

Totally get you, I swapped my prusa's hotend for a stealthburner as well, they're super nice to service, especially with the 2 part PCB, but having the entire assembly mounted from the front is fantastic.

Stealthburner ended up fixing your clog issues entirely?

Fingers crossed. There's hats you can get to power the pi off of printer's 24v supply, considering doing it on my klippered mk3s and switch that over to using a SBC instead of the laptop.

If you can swing it, definitely worth printing a spare set for the stealthburner + cw2,

You'd think right, anecdotally when I was meaaign with undervolting on my desktop, you'd get instability or crashes at the limits without useful errors. Could think maybe the processor isn't getting enough power and that's causing instability? Found a klipper thread that about losing connection with the mcu which totally can show up as an EOF error.

How are you powering the pi itself? Wondering if the wakeup draw from your screen is enough to make it unstable, 4 I believe having higher power drawn than the 3 if you're using the same power supply. Pi isn't oced either?

Quick Edit: I run my v2.4 on a lepotato with oodles of usb attachments (camera, multiple mcus, wifi and a screen. Replacing the mcu connections with a usb-canbus bridge when the heatwave ends) but with it connected directly to a meanwell 5v5a PSU into the gpio header, have never had communication issues to the octopus pro I use. Skr mini on the other printer is connected to a laptop host so it definitely has enough power, did have some odd issues with the skr mini and having an accelerometer connected to the spi header on boot and separately the 24v supply becoming loose that I fixed by crimping ferules onto the supply wires when I added a molex connector to make taking the printer out of its enclosure easier.

Didn't know that! Steam has some really nice features, steam input alone is amazing so I'll definitely give that a try.

I'd love a Morrowind type journal to log some of that, totally get I can write things down outside the game, I'd just like to have that option in game especially as I can tend to jump around games and put them down for some time. They're almost there with the player map markers and NPC markers, even just having the ability to make notes in game would be big for me.

Yeah, had that happen a few years ago, thankfully there was a consistent status attributes in the response that I could use but still, annoying

Yeah that's how I did the mockup, I use superslicer on one printer and prusaslicer on the other so was hoping I could do something that'd be able to port between them easily.

On that thought, superslicer being based on prusa slicer, wonder if I could just import the project like I've done with filament profiles. Thanks!

Yeah I used inkscape for the image dxf, good thought on the text. I'll try it in freecad again, had it die on me a few times so I started looking into alternates, thanks!

I'll give that a try, thanks, figured it'd be something straightforward!

I have a large chunk of my colleagues who have little to no experience using CLI tools, and totally have found the last part to be true. In fairness, documentation is all over the place quality wise (I generally find Microsoft's useful but I've totally had issues in the past with undocumented or vaguely documented features/dependencies). People will google their issues, and increasingly I've found it doesnt point you at the documentation directly, instead stack overflow or medium pages.

I feel like there's definitely some conceptual... Stuff for lack of a better word that's an issue, I've seen a number of people focus on the execution instead of trying to understand what's the issue and define it logically, when pressed they struggle to explain.

Super regional, remember learning 15$ in French class but using $15 everywhere else because I'm an anglophone. Personally, as someone else said, it's a unit, totally makes sense treating it as such and I do tend to use iso currency codes when talking dollars because I'm Canadian, 40 USD is 54.75 CAD, 40 CAD is 29.23 USD, if I don't specify that it makes things look way more expensive comparatively.

MattKC totally made a version of snake that fits in a QR code, his website covers it too

If you want a SBC, a lepotato works really well, supposed to be more performant than a 3B. I used as an alternate to a raspberry pi for a klipper setup, running armbian on it now.

There are updated versions of it as well if you need more performance, but they're cheaper than an equivalent pi and importantly, purchasable which was an issue when I was putting together that printer.

If you're not familiar with the table, use a select top 10 * from table if you're on sqlserver, postgresql uses limit and oracle has fetch.

Don't recommend select * without limits or conditions unless you absolutely know the table, you can very quickly make a DBA unhappy
