Monster of the Week? Anything Powered by the Apocalypse is going to be much stronger in Game Master support and explanations than D&D. If you want something friendlier there are also games like Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast that has no focus on combat. Wanderhome, as well -- albeit that one isn't modern. You've got a lot of options, don't be fooled by Hasbro!

Hate the idea of the former in a private setting, would like in a business setting. Absolutely adore the idea of directions (drove a car with a "heads up" display but it only integrated with the dreadful in-car navigation system and yet it was still awesome)... But player stats dangling over people's heads? That maybe my kid without AR glasses wouldn't be able to see and I could be the cool parent again? Awesome.

Nepotism. There's some story I heard about how he coach surfed in California until he got a contract, and I figured he must have SOME talent, then found out he was staying on Jamie Foxx's couch, so clearly some he knew someone...

Except unfortunately my 30 second Wikipedia fact check shows he didn't. He met Foxx because he was invited to be a guess on Foxx's show and must have made a good impression. He did make seemingly the hardway; he started out as a working musician working with other musicians and worked his way up. Didn't hurt that he got a positive review from Elton John early on, but the guy apparently has something.

Damn. I thought I figured it out...

Many years ago, long before the advent of cellular phones or even really GPS units, when doing road trips in convoy, the local ritual was "Are we there yet?" "Twenty minutes."

Said question, over the course of a few years, migrated from "we're off the highway and approaching our final destination" to as we were departing... But everyone was in on the joke.

I don't think the people waiting another two weeks are in on the joke.

This is what I get for not defining my acronyms.

 

I just received an unexpected SLA printer from what I had assumed was a failed Kickstarter for the "Coolsiga FinderOne" or C1 or Classic. The manual is clearly intended for someone who has some context, but my past experience has been entirely FDM based.

I'm not claiming it's a good manual by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I confident that it will work -- but is there an "Dummies Guide to SLA Printers" I can read through to at least know what it's talking about?

 

Hi - Tenlog TLD3-Pro, printing with branx new Overture PLA+, printing an OpenSCAD exported STL sliced with Cura 5.7.1 (most recent as of yesterday).

I'm printing first level at 0.3mm thickness, but the print is irregularly too thick in height -- and not by a little bit, a lot. I've lowered the temperature to 190. I've physically lowered the bed to the point that the skirt didn't print, then raised it just barely back. I've reduced the flow rate to 85%, and I'm still getting the same results. I've lowered the build plate temperature, no change.

The skirt might be a tough high in spots, but I'm ending up with the first level of a prime tower that looks like this.

Any ideas? What else can I try?

Original NES Metroid was the second game I ever beat, after Super Mario Bros. 3.

The Republicans will obliterate the fillibuster the day they want to, claiming the Democrats are forcing them to.

I'm currently conducting a lot of phone screens for a senior engineer position and I've definitely seen InterviewSort lately.

Warner shelved Acme and instead we get the worst Chris?

I knew I was excluded and was generally okay with it... Until the kid was about four months old. Family went out to dinner. We were having a good time, baby needed changing, I grabbed him and MY diaper bag (yes, I had my own). I went to the restroom and discovered the only changing table was in the women's room.

I knocked, said hello, and went in. The only woman (teenager? College student? Younger than me, at least) who came in while I was changing the baby was polite and even offered her help.

But this US chain restaurant didn't even consider the possibility that someone other than a woman would change a baby. Come on.

Oh, did you mean Brock "The Rapist" Turner? I heard he raped an unconscious woman because he's a terrible human being and also a rapist.
