What's the most underrated sport videogame of all time?
  • Never see anyone mention it so I'll go with Hyperblade!

    Futuristic combat skating game that was played in stadiums akin to the inside of a rugby/american football so you had high sides for doing tricks, goals at each end and hazards in the middle.

    Hazards I hear you ask? Why yes! Spinning gates with blades on them to hurt your opponents and various other objects caused a small amount of bodily harm and bleeding. This led to a viable strategy of simply killing the opposing team.

    Bonus points if you decapitated them too - literally. You could use opposing players heads to score more goals. Hilarious and probably not suitable for an early teens kid but I think I mostly turned out ok.

    Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”
  • Huh, that was what 5 years ago now? I will remember telling randy he was wrong (in perhaps an alcohol fuelled rant 🤭) only to get swiftly blocked.

    What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Could be a fun mini series to adapt. The video game never grabbed me though.

    How are you doing Lemmy?
  • Not great. Perpetually exhausted (~4 years, onset), GP just gaslights me into thinking I'm fine.

    My friends have all but abandoned me since the pandemic.

    I have no job and due to the aforementioned fatigue struggle to find a route back to employment.

    On the plus side my cat loves me. Probably something to doo with tuna.

    Overall I think I win.

    Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?
  • I thump my water bottle down on the desk just hard enough to make my mouse trigger and wake up the PC. By the time I'm sat comfortably it's awaiting a password :]

    What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?
  • Hell yeah! Never thought I'd see this mentioned anywhere. I'd love a modern take on this.

    What are you currently excited for?
  • Excited might be going a bit far but hopefully getting a referral to General Medicine and a little closer to understanding what's wrong with me all the time.

    Beyond that some D&D I plan to run when I'm better. Planning and plotting as we speak 😎

  • So poor Willow had to go to the vet for a nail trim as she seems to have gotten lazy in her old age. Largely ignored any scratching posts as she preferred the fence/raised borders outside but is now scared of outside too! (Me too Willow 🤣)

    Got her a new scratching post and on the 3rd day (and much catnip spray) we have a scratching session! Hopefully we can keep her using it and save on the vet bills!

    [Sporadic thread] What's up, how it's going?
  • Oddly pretty good the last few days! Been suffering from fatigue from an unknown source and for the last 5 days I've slept well, felt 'normal' and been able to get some things done!

    Where they the right things? Not really but it's the thought that counts, right?

    [Discussion] What match most reminds you of your childhood?
  • An easy answer and probably a common one from my country (UK) would be the 2000 Royal Rumble and ru l the Street Fight that was part of it. Great match, fell in love with Cactus Jack and by extension Mick Foley just as the company began to peak in the attitude era.

    Then channel 4 stopped showing wrestling. Think it went to sky and I was poor. Would have just turned 17 I guess and my first real taste of pro wrestling.

    What's going wrong with my prints?
  • Useful insight, I'll try the other suggestions before an extra adhesive though! I still need to get my head around printer settings again as I've not used this for a couple of years and my brain has decided to forget that info for other useless things instead.

    What's going wrong with my prints?
  • I've got some odd spots in the middle of the bed where it's not always printing a neat line in the first layer which is odd. Unsure if it's due to not being clean or a levelling issue but I'll investigate. Thanks for the thorough checklist of things to do though - really helpful!

    What's going wrong with my prints?
  • I've given the bed a good clean now that I've found my supplies. Had to hide everything when the niblings visted and forgot where they went. Gonna see how things work out now it's been cleaned properly and look into over extrusion.

  • Hey,

    Still fairly new to this hobby and have lots of ideas but I've got a snag with a few prints now and was hoping someone could help me work out what I'm doing wrong.

    The project is small trays for a custom advent calendar but as you can see the corner on the second picture has lifted massively.

    !A 3d printed tray in grey with a handle.

    This has happened before with a different print too and I never solved that issue either.

    Using an Ender 3 Pro with some generic filament from amazon, hot end at 200C (goes stringy any higher), bed was 50C for this print I think.

    Any help would be wonderful :)

    Those of you who are not okay: What's going on in your life right now and how could we help you make it better?
  • Where to start? 😅

    Short version: been sick in various forms for the last 4 years with leg infections, epididymitis, covid and awful fatigue. Finally got an answer this past week of low testosterone. GP is unhelpful - won't refer me to endocrinology or urology because things will just go back to normal if I lose weight.

    Long version? Eh, on request. Typing on my phone is awful.

    How can random folk on the Internet help? I've no idea! Is anyone knows how to brow beat the NHS GP service into actually caring about their patients is love to know the secrets.
