  • At this point it's not like even if I did capture it, I'd get a new print sheet. I've just switch to G10/Garolite. Had good results with it before, but switch to Satin since I wanted a print bed for both PLA and PETG that didn't destroy the Print Bed.

  • Oh I've had my fair share of issues with this. i.e. little specs of the previous print color is stuck on the next print since I missed it during print clean up.

    But if I am honest, for a normal spring steel PEI sheet it's perfect. And I prefer this to the magnetic solution like on the Mini since it lets me use Garolite/G10.

    I've only seen this issue with the satin bed.

  • Is there other firmware for Prusa MK4? I knew you could break a thing on the motherboard, but I thought that be some time from now.

  • Exactly as you said. I call it gouging since material is being removed. But the marks aren't deep and the print surface is completely usable. Don't have a better word for it than gouging.

    As for what I was doing? Restarting a print I had to stop part way last night since the filament jammed. I looked away for a second then heard knocking from the printer and was welcomed to this beautiful new mark on my print sheet.

  • Useing older firmware (was 1 version behind at the time of conversation), and a dirty nozzle which I clean regularly to prevent PETG globs from being deposited in my prints.

    EDIT: The newest markings on the print bed was on the latest firmware.

  • My karma equates to: 17K post, 12K comment.

  • Ah corporate Lawyer BS, pointing out what they want to be true and not pointing out the other. ROMs are legal under existing Copywrite laws under archival laws in the USA (117) and backup laws in Canada (29.24). The Americans have a bit more of a restricted way of using their archives, but that's not needs to be argued here, as it appears that Nintendo is blaming Yuzu for actions of the general consumer. It'll be like blaming your Network provider for allowing a user to download a movie, both legally and illegally, thus they should be punished for both actions.

    I also love that Nintendo isn't not stating it's illegal here, just that it's infringing because it's not authorized.

  • We've already seen how this plays out in court with Sony vs BLEEM. I really hope Nintendo gets the books thrown at them, cuz I am getting really sick and tired of their "All illegal emulators stifles innovation" attitude. Especially with the fact that their fragile games are starting to break down and needs to be backed up for users to continue using their games.

    They are pricey but cart readers like the GBxCart, Open Source Cartridge Reader, or simply modifying or running an R4 your Nintendo DS/DSi/3DS can help you backup your physical games. Which might I add is legal under archival laws in the USA (117) and backup laws in Canada (29.24).

  • Hummm easy games. I think it depends of their tastes and what they like to do.

    I can think of a few games which might be fun, but perhaps she should watch some lets plays to see if it peaks her interest.

    Lil Guardsman is a fun game my SO showed me recently.

    Stardew Vally

    Potion/crafting games are something else, Potionomics might be fun.

    Oh point and clicks might be fun too, but I can think of anything outside of Grim Fandango or Monkey Island

    Animal Crossing is always relaxing

    My SO and I played Persona 5 together too, I played the game while she was my navigatior who made conversation choices.

  • I wonder what the PC version will be like?

    If it's not the existing 2 PC games which have already been updated to remove GameSpy and add in modern online servers, then cool. If not I hope they make Battlefront 2's menus controller friendly.

  • Linux Mint, I wanted Manjaro with KDE to work so much. But the issue I had with it, and no not the in general complaints about Manjaro, was how annoying it is to set up again. Rebuilding a machine or an install was just such a hassle, that I wanted to move to a Ubuntu/Debain based distro, where everything was already made for it.

    If my current build of Linux Mint dies, then I'd probably move to the Mint DE and remove the Ubuntu part.

    Troubleshooting is easier, finding apps is easier, and outside of advance user packages like MangoHud and XPadNeo where I needed to build from source (not fun). It's been a painless experience.

  • Exploration and slime optimization.

    The exploration was more just looking around, and since the game is finished I can explore to my heart's content.

    As for slime optimization, the farm has only so many plots of land. So mixing your slimes into mixed slimes lets you feed the slimes easier to feed and maintain.

    The goal being a farm that doesn't create monsters from free roaming plorts while making the most money.

    I'm in it for the exploration and without guides its a good time sink

  • Embedded in the models themselves.

    I made an SVG of the Icon, the I turn it into a sketch, then scale and push into the area I want it. It's doable in Fusion 360 and FreeCAD. Though FreeCAD takes some messaging to get it to work well.

  • Oh and for games that will just kill your down time (if that's what you are looking for).

    With mouse and Keyboard

    • Civilization 5 or 6
    • Cities Skylines
    • Jurassic World Evolution
    • Kerbal Space Program

    With just a gamepad

    • Elder Scrolls 4/5
    • Fallout 3/4/New Vegas (in order)
    • GTA San Andreas (though if you can PCSX2 with the widescreen patch)
    • Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Knight
    • Saints Row 2/3/4

    With multiple controllers (and friends)

    • TMNT Shredders Revenge
    • Castle Crashers
    • LEGO [INSERT FRANCHISE HERE]
    • Most ROM bundles like Disney Afternoon, Capcom Arcade Stadium, Sega Genesis Collection etc.
  • Lemmy communities you should keep an eye out for is: !gamedeals@lemmy.world for freebees and discounts. The other social media site that shall not be named also has a similar community with the same name.

    As for new games when in doubt, Humble Bundle. They currently have some fantastic game deals right now if you are a fan of Capcom or Indi games. Outside of the Destiny 2 bundle I've heard nothing but positives from them.

    Now as you say you are new to PC gaming I'm going to recommend you some niche/personal fav games of mine that either aren't on consoles, or aren't know well on consoles.

    • Antichamber, a first person "shooter", that's more of a mind bending puzzle game. The most atmospheric game I've played and a wonderful time.
    • Most thing from Valve, Half Life 1 & 2, Left for Dead, etc. All good fund and often onsale for dirt cheap. Get it if you find it for the right price. The YouTube series "Freeman's Mind" is worth a watch if you want a see what the gameplay is like.
    • Portal 1 & 2, Valve FPS and puzzle games. Well known, and obviously recommended. Play in order is advised.
    • Slime Rancher if you are looking for a framing game in the first person
    • Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars in the Doom Engine. Not the biggest fan but it's the first in a series of fun adventure games.
    • Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, This is an interesting genera of game. It is a FPS, but it's in the mission structure of the old doom games. With a narrative of Star Wars. There are light sabers, and you can cut off your enemies limbs. Fun time
    • Star Wars Jedi Knight II/Jedi Academe, aka Dark Forces III. Same as the first game but you get your saber quicker. Had a blast with academe.
    • Super Hot: Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot.
    • Team Fortress 2. Team based hero FPS before Overwatch. I've heard the quality went down recently but I haven't checked.
    • Wolfenstein The New Order. Just a very angry dude killing nazi's what's there not to love.
  • Yes it is Tempest 2000, one of only two games which I like playing on my Jag. The other is WolfenDoom Wolfenstein 3D

  • Yeah that totally makes sense. That said it’s more of a prop now, and it’s not on long enough for it to have this issue.
