  • Why do you specifically want this as a DLC? The epilogue you mentioned was a free update. If your argument is that Karlach’s story was cut/ unfinished, why are you upset that you can’t pay for it, and not upset that it isn’t there in general?

    Wanting the content you mention makes sense, but being upset that a company won’t charge you more for a game you already bought is indeed signs of getting used to modern AAA practices




  • I see 3 options.

    1, adjust your z-offset. I’m not familiar with prusa’s firmware, but if your first layer is bulging, it could mean your z-offset needs adjusting.

    2, see if your first layer line thickness is set above 100%. By default some slicers lay an extra thick first layer; you might try decreasing this.

    3, get rid of the white on the first layer, and just make the second layer white. This is how I do multi-color lettering/ designs and it works incredibly well. I can show you pictures if my description doesn’t make sense.



  • I was using it to blow through an online math course I’d ultimately decided I didn’t need but didn’t want to drop. One step of a problem I had it solve involved finding the square root of something; it spat out a number that was kind of close, but functionally unusable. I told it it made a mistake three times and it gave a different number each time. When I finally gave it the right answer and asked, “are you running a calculation or just making up a number” it said that if I logged in, it would use real time calculations. Logged in on a different device, asked the same question, it again made up a number, but when I pointed it out, it corrected itself on the first try. Very janky.




  • It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.

    The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.


  • They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.

    God, I used to bike around here.


  • I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.

    It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I’d only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it’s like they skipped 30 minutes every time.
