Defederation blocks communication both ways, I believe.

 

I started 3d printing back when you had to build it all from scratch, and it seemed ABS was the only filament to be found. PLA came along soon enough and made things sooo much easier. Then came some more exotic ones like TPU or Nylon I think, but I never tried them out because they seemed pretty niche.

But now I'm getting back into it after some time and am seeing PETG popping up more and it seems to have become one of the mainstream materials now.

Are there any other key materials I should become aware of these days? Has PETG started to replace ABS as a superior "high-temp" filament? Does anyone have experience with these?

Love Letter. A very quick game with just 13 cards. Games take about 3 minutes so you can play multiple rounds if you want. Suits 2-6 players (best at max 4 in my experience). Generally very popular and easy to learn.

Comes in dozens of themes as well, if you don't like the "princess in a castle" theme. You can find Batman, Cuthulu, The Hobbit, versions depending on your preference.

OnShape is my go-to. It's what I taught my students when I was a TA for an introductory engineering class at college, and they could pick it up in about a day.

Can do just about anything a "professional" cad suite does, but it's free, works in a browser, and is generally so much better designed so you don't have to fight against the UI to get anything done.

You were into Warhammer at age 4? Man, I couldn't even read.

Fyi the link to the meta community is wrong here. Leads to an error page.

Thanks for making an official community! Just subscribed from Vlemmy.net!

The way I picture this is by letting communities have some sort of "partner communities" listing. If mods of games@xyz decide they like the content of games@abc, and gaming@123, they add those communities as "partners" (perhaps those communities have to accept which in turn adds games@abc as their partner). Then, when any user subscribes to one partnered community, they also become subscribed by proxy to the others, and begin to see posts from all 3.

This helps smaller communities piggyback on the success of willing larger communities and gain a bit of visibility as well, which should encourage growth of each partner so smaller ones don't just die out.

Communities can "unpartner" at any time, in which case users would only remain subscribed to the one they originally selected. And of course, users could explicitly block any of the partnered communities if they don't want to see the whole set.

The theme is very minimal. I think the premise is "someone is trying to sneak a letter to the princess. Guess who has it? The guard? The maid? Etc." It's just a deduction game.

But there are also loads of "themed" versions if you prefer. Batman, Cthulhu, Munchkin, Santa Claus, Legend of the Five Rings, The Hobbit, Marvel, etc.

And since there are only 13 cards, you could easily re-theme it with a Deck of Many Things or something.

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but PLA the plastic itself is food safe. As in, you can put it in your mouth and it's fine. The issue comes from the 3d printing process which tends to create small pockets and porous surfaces where microbes can hide and grow once it gets wet, kind of like a sponge. So you could print a single-use fork and eat with it, but don't reuse it later.

I think an insert for cutlery would be fine since you aren't going to be getting it wet or putting it in contact with your mouth or food.

Conversations with my spouse are almost entirely of the following:

  1. planning and coordinating
  2. infodumping
  3. little love phrases ("I love you." "You are a good wife." "Come give me a kiss.")
  4. listening silently while my wife shares the latest gossip and about her day
  5. spontaneous deep conversations

I love her.

What about something like Aeon's End? Not racing on a map, but racing against a clock, because the big monster is going to destroy the world if you are too slow.

Awesome deck building, but an extreme sense of urgency.

I had some other games in mind, but honestly, none of them would have the longevity that Netrunner does. This is an excellent choice.

I always see pictures of people's collections with boxes stored vertically on their edge. Looks nice, but when I do this the pieces inside tend to get jumbled around.

What's the general consensus on the best way to arrange boxes on the shelf?
