3D printing came back at me hard. Getting to use the school printer in high school was cool and now that I'm an adult I've bought 3 of my own.

3D printing

in high school

now that I'm an adult

=(

If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.

I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.

It's pretty amazing to have teachers and faculty like that 💜

I graduated in 2010 and my high school had a 3d printer. They weren't common in the 2000's but they were around.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I graduated 2005 and 3d printing wasn't even a concept at any school in my district.

Being an adult is pretty neat sometimes

I've got an older resin printer I used for Warhammer, I'm thinking it's just a matter of time before I start trying FDM to make useful stuff.

I just don't see the point. I can't think of any good reason to have one personally.

I would love to be proven wrong though.

If you have any desire to make things or tinker, they're fantastic. They'll save you tons of time and possibly money also. I have a bunch of knickknacks and functional printed parts around my house now.

If that's not your cup of tea though, you probably don't have a good reason to buy one. It's also a hobby and if you don't plan to use it for more than printing the occasional spare part which you could otherwise just buy at a store, I don't think it would justify the cost.

For that you need a FWA3DP, a friend with a 3D printer. Mine prints me parts every few months when I randomly need something.

That feeling when you haven’t play Minecraft for months and then you load it up just to play around for a while and then you notice sunlight coming through the curtains.

Installed Master of Orion 2 again yesterday and spent hours on winning a pre warp huge galaxy 8 players game on the hardest difficulty.

“This time I’m just going to install the essential mods and have a vanilla play through.”

5 hours later

“What do you mean Mass Effect Weapons conflicts with Nude HD Textures? They do completely different things!”

When the Factorio DLC drops on Monday.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why does it have to drop monday, i could have no life this weekend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

:( Me too man. Me too.

Me getting my elo back upto 1500

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ugh, I still haven't even hit that. I'm 1400-something in Daily games (my primary time control), but my Rapid and Blitz lag way behind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've only ever barely hit 1500 in rapid. Never done the daily games.

But I'm 2400+ with puzzles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I also have a puzzle problem... Lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should try puzzles on lichess. More challenging imo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I use both and have been gravitating more toward Lichess lately. Once you get used to the UI, it's really nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Saaaame. The ui is what kept me back for so long too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Chess puzzles make me feel dumb but I've been really enjoying chessguessr lately.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, I assumed the creator took it down because it was inaccessible when I tried the other day! Time to re-bookmark.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ironic that you used the image of Batman, because it is literally my interest on Batman that has been re-ignited.

I don't like the term "old interests" , but it's nice to see the ex again. And while I acknowledge that MC has to remain on the dl, I do wish she would move out at some point...
