Snapmaker has informed me that my new printer is just waiting for the shipping person to pick it up. I'm pretty excited about it, as this is a lot faster than I was expecting. #3Dprinting
Quick question. Is this Ring camera light thing woke?
I've decided to update my #3dprinting abilities and pre-ordered the #Snapmaker U1. I'm always nervous about actually buying new tech because I know as soon as I get it, someone will announce a bigger, faster, more-headed one for the same price or cheaper. But it has everything I want. It's not a bed-slinger, is fully enclosed, a tool-changer, much bigger bed than my M5C, and hyped its ability to print TPU. Also, the full-spectrum color printing ability is icing on the cake.
I've been listening to a variety of history podcasts for a while now and want more #science in my feed, so wanted to see if there were any good ones I haven't seen. I'd especially like to find some good #paleontology podcasts. Any suggestions?
It's like someone mashed up the visuals of Patapon with a shmup! (to me, this is a good thing) #videogames

I'm attempting to make English muffins this morning for some reason and it's more complicated than I was hoping. They're like pancakes,but thick, which makes them challenging to cook on my shitty stovetop. The main burner in particular has terrible heat regulation and burns them even on low.#cooking
It took me several hours, but I have reupholstered my first thing. I'm full-on adulting here.
I've gotten press releases from two different companies for horror-themed takes on farming games in like the last week and I think that's great.
I haven't been a video game journalist in a number of years (and I still miss it), but whatever the current generation is doing, they should all be up in arms calling out just how harmful these LLM garbage factories are to this industry on both an existential and very literal level. Yet, I don't think I've seen anything of the sort. Admittedly, I don't read nearly as much gaming coverage these days.

Gosh, Sony. I guess I won't get that PS5 Pro I wasn't planning to buy anyway, but holy shit. $900 without a drive? Who in their right mind would buy one of those damn things now?

The takeaway from Sony's crazy price hike is that AI is crushing the future of console gaming and indeed video gaming as a whole thanks to its vicious greed, gluttony, and wastefulness. So, once again, fuck AI.
