This $60 Flashcart Can Play ANY Nintendo Switch Game.
  • Nintendo is suing happy and sues everyone and everything they can. I'd like not to be served papers to testify against a friend or myself for their fancy idea of copyright infrigment. How's that for elaborating? If you want more on the device then ask politely.

    This $60 Flashcart Can Play ANY Nintendo Switch Game.
  • For legal reasons I cannot say who but yeah, they are shipping and being delivered and version 2 has the switch on top to switch cartridges instead of clicking in and out AND the dumper works great, about 5 minutes to get the xci for most games and then throw on the SD and / or your steam deck or suyu device of choice.

    Hi friends!
  • True though the disguise kit would take more time. I am so far. part of my GMs annoyance is that a lot of the names of the NPCs are clear hints as to their purpose and if you speak German and some Latin it makes it VERY obvious what the next plot point will be so I have been banned from translating the names from now on.

    Designing a new printer
  • My personal hatred of Core XY not withstanding that sounds like an awesome idea. Belt printer? Maybe at a 45 degree slant to avoid support and overhang issues?

    [OC] Values vs. Technique: What Makes a Great GM?
  • Let the players as a group have agency in your narrative. It sounds like a stupid joke about the pet goblin but it isn't. Our favorite campaign ever was a mage campaign where the players spent the whole campaign focus on one guy (Sir ben kingsley in Lucky number slevin) and they went after him with all they had. But on the side they made friends with some of the factions. Especially this one Sons of Ether, Lucy Monk. They confided in her and had her help them with plans. it was great.

    Then the twist came.

    Yeah, you figured it out.

    But the look on their faces when they had to travel back in time to get the guy they thought was the BBEG and he turned around and showed them who it really was still makes the DM giggle to himself.

    Any game you play matters if the players feel they are moving things along and making a difference, even a small one.

    If you are the DM, be the rest of the world but let them move you.

    Hi friends!
  • Use and abuse prestidigitation. Annoying dog? here puppy, the best steak you ever tasted. need to ask the guards again? Change my clothes. plot exposition? minor cube of illusion. Between that and mending I have my GM debating firing my bard after only 3 sessions of curse of the crimson throne.

    Best build to create Esmeralda Weatherwax
  • you're thinking about it wrong. She tries as hard as she can to never use magic. her one spell she uses is a fancy Magic soul jar spell and maybe detect magic. For what she does you probably want a psionic.

    [Question] Can You Uncut A STL?
  • if the file is small enough you can throw it in tinkercad and merge it. Cura will let you print it as one file if you let it but you have to set it correctly.

    DIY hot / bath tub in shed?
  • First and foremost please please please remember water is F***ING heavy. I know it sounds stupid to say but it's so easy to forget how fast it adds up. Is your shed wood floored? What is it sitting on?

    Would you be comfortable grabbing a 50cm diameter boulder and placing (Not dropping) it on the floor and not have it buckle let alone break?

    If yes then you might be alright.

    MIGHT!

    is the outlet 110? Check the fuse and not how many amps it's rated for.

    If it's just you and you have at least 20 amps I would seriously consider one of those inflatable hot tubs.

    You can get one from anywhere between $200 and $600 and they will work for that wattage AND distribute the water weight enough you won't crack a concrete base, even a not too thin one.

    If you are thinking of a cast iron tub or something similar maybe with higher walls or smaller footprint as the shed isn't big enough for a hot tub then you need to seriously worry about that it will be sitting on.

    Finally dumping the water once in a blue moon with 2 squirts of soap isn't great but it will do minimal damage but 2 or 3 times per week is a LOT of water that will concentrate in a small area and if you plan on washing at all that adds to a lot more soap and detergents then you realize concentrating in your lawn.

    Consider doing some filtering before you dump. Charcoal or sand to start and that will help quite a bit. It'll mean very slow drain but you don't really are about that do you?

    How are you all partitioning your setup?
  • Yeah, logical volumes has a teeny bit of overhead, same with RAID. both together means you can run older things but things that have a lot of textures loading you will see some drop.

    Did you ever experience TPK?
  • So many.

    Curse of Strahd in 3.5: Who knew Con damage to a mostly spell caster group could be dangerous not just once but 4 times. In comparison both fights were Strahd were a f**ing walk in the park.

    More of a test game than an actual campaign: We were testing if a CR appropriate group of goblins with levels vs a group of players would play out for the players: Well as it turns out I suck at calculating CR so our first fight was 5 players vs 5 goblins level 15 (Same as players) plus 10 starting goblins. We adjusted it for a correct CR and it was still a massacre. Ambush is a HELL of an advantage.

    Anything goes campaign. Well turns out anything goes for the DM too so Level 3 half colossal half minotaur barbarian opponent with a posse of gobs with a ballista safely away means players die every other round or so.

  • Logical volumes. it slows down IO on this setup but i don't run IO intensive games. It allow me to just repartition and add drives as needed.

    Question about Perdido Street Station (minor spoiler)
  • Oooooooh, I have one:

    https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-759-its-evolutionary-my-dear-washington-post/

    It's like a 5 page spread for the whole spiel but this is the most relevant page.

    The one thing i will add it that the eye thing primarily is super true and backed up by science as 20% of our brain is dedicated to visual functions and adding a third would make our heads very very hard to handle for almost 0 benefits.

    Any tips on printing lego parts?
  • You can't slow down the head in specific spots but you can slow it down in general as well as setting a minimal layer time so that it pauses between layer and lets them cool.

    [Troubleshooting] Fluidd randomly shows a blank screen on specific browsers, while others work fine.
  • Call me mister suspicious if you like but I have had this exact issue daily with Chrome since they started complaining about adblocking. And wouldn't you know it, the moment any form of adblock is disabled it miraculously does not happen. I can also fix it by clearing my cache every day and restarting the browser. I would start with those steps.

    Why does my printer suck so much?
  • Bit of both really. Ok, the bed tramming is normal, even GREAT printers need it done every few weeks or so. The physics and mechanical properties of how the bed is held down mean changes in temperatures and normal shifts even in an ACed house mean they loosen naturally a little every day and after a few weeks they will be bad enough someone who likes a really level bed will need to clear them again. After a few months any bed that isn't welded down is going to need to be redone.

    Z offset and bed auto level follow from that. You need to redo them when you do the tramming anyway.

    I would say run your printer more often but that won't fix it. You're running against physics and nothing can stop that. Maybe you can store up prints for say 6 months and then do them all in a week or so and you only have to do this once?
