They aren’t wildly complex, don’t would be dobale for sure
- Comment on Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core77 3 days ago:
It was a super fast print (about 16 minutes) so I went ahead. I think it’ll be fine, and I even had a random layer issue on the back side. Put it on the razor, and it used the angle of the blade to lock it in place, so I don’t think there will be much issue.
Lemmy is not letting me upload images on mobile, but I’ll see if I can do it on desktop
- Comment on Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core77 3 days ago:
I’ll give it a shot too, since I have the razor for the one model they have released
- Comment on Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core77 3 days ago:
I don’t know what you’ve experienced, but I have been 3d printing things for about 6 years now. With any decently tuned printer, these would be fine for the use they will get. I have the one razor they have released a part for, and the 3d printed parts are not going to experience much in the way of force that would separate the layers. It doesn’t help that I don’t think they followed their own guidelines when printing the examples. The layer height is huge which makes the layer lines stand out. I bet that was so they could more easily be identified as 3d printed with an FDM printer, but it looks really bad.
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 1 week ago:
Yes, I understand you think it is 75% board/tabletop/comics and, at least at PAX west, that is untrue. Nintendo literally did a mini event inside PAX two years. Larian has had a huge presence since BG3 was announced. There are esports events the whole time. Most of the panels are video game related. It may be that you don’t do the AAA stuff, but there has historically been a huge presence
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 1 week ago:
PAX’ audience are primarily comic and board game nerds, they’re historically light on video game booths in their expo hall
That is entirely untrue. PAX has a specific tabletop convention (PAX Unplugged), but the main cons are very heavily video game focused. The expo hall have an indie game section, but the vast majority of the expo hall is major companies (Nintendo often has the largest booth). I have been to PAX West nearly every (I missed the first year and last year), and board games are there, but never the focus
- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 1 week ago:
Is there an outfitter like REI in your city? They often have classes and clubs as well. You could also try something new. Maybe since you like video games, give board or tabletop games a try and go to a local game shop for a game night.
- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 1 week ago:
Join a hiking group/club, and don’t do it with the express intent of dating. I’m not saying don’t hope, but don’t because you enjoy the activity
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected from 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 1 week ago:
$150k is not necessarily a lot of money in a lot of cities. The article just mentions New York, but typically that would not be enough to buy in most areas even close to NYC
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 1 week ago:
Yeah, that is the worst thing about modern cars. They just produced their first fully drivable prototype, so I am cautiously optimistic.
- Comment on Star Wars Shows the Future of AI Special Effects and It Sucks [404 Media] 1 week ago:
The things in that video aren’t even a new idea, much less an innovative way to do it. People have been mixing animals for decades.
Sad to see the fall of ILM
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 1 week ago:
Telo truck looks promising and has some ex original Tesla talent.
- Comment on Ori developer Moon Studios head warns it may have to shut down following review bombing [VGC] 1 week ago:
With the intent of tanking review scores so the game does not sell as well is, yes.
- Comment on Ori developer Moon Studios head warns it may have to shut down following review bombing [VGC] 1 week ago:
I would argue the first use was malicious and that it spawned even worse instances after. It is a known favorite tool of gamergaters and right wingers

- Comment on Copyright Office head fired after reporting AI training isn’t always fair use 1 week ago:
Don’t hold dystopian societies to utopian standards. Yes copyright sucks, and if it was gone things might be better. But also if it was gone corpos might just run more wild than they do now.
- Comment on Ori developer Moon Studios head warns it may have to shut down following review bombing [VGC] 1 week ago:
Right? “We made a mediocre game that doesn’t deliver on the promises we made. Pls give good review now”
That being said, I have not read the Steam reviews, but it could be that they are getting bombed, but the situation described in the article is just people not liking the game for valid reasons
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
AI art looks terrible, is almost always trained on stolen art, and is typically environmentally unsound. There are genuinely good uses for AI, art is not one of them.
We are talking about this specifically because there is reason enough to doubt Nintendo saying they didn’t use it. Nintendo may have used their own assets to train any alleged AI, buy them shutting down the conversation means we will never know.
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
That is probably why they are all differnt sizes and the flag part is different (or non existent) in each one.
The images might be based off in game assets, but if those are not AI then the artist certainly has a style that mimics AI art. I don’t think that is the case, though
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
I’m getting ready for work, so only have time to do one image, but this is pretty clearly AI generated. The other image is not quite as egregious, but if you take more than a passing glance at the car in the billboard ad, it is pretty obviously AI as well.
- Comment on 200 Overwatch devs at Activision Blizzard vote to unionist [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
Fuck yes!
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
I think that ‘no’ is likely a lie. Take a look at the images posted in the article. Pretty clearly AI imo
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
Yes, sorry, other than the text
- Comment on Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
I don’t if you and I looked at the same images. Other the text, all of the images have a lot of hallmarks of AI. The car is asymmetrical in almost every aspect, the bridge has a lot of random artifacts where support cables would be, the skyscrapers are just nonsensical all over the place. To me, they look like a ton of AI slop. They might just be placeholder art, but still shitty to use AI generated images
- Comment on Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable - The Oatmeal 2 weeks ago:
This is for color laser printers only, and is not a legal requirement as far as I can tell. Manufacturers were urged by the US government to add it, but it is not a written law.
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 3 weeks ago:
It shut down last year, but it was also run by Mail.ru. Probably not something you want anywhere near your devices
- Comment on DeepSeek: The Chinese Communist Party’s newest AI advance is making repression smarter, cheaper, and more deadly. Even worse, they aim to export it to the world. 5 weeks ago:
tankie alt accounts
I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Nobody here is saying Chinese authoritarianism is good, they are mostly pointing out that this op-ed is really, really bad and does not understand the technology, or pointing out that your post history/quality borders on racism. That doesn’t mean they are pro-authoritarianism, it just means they are pro well researched, quality posts and are already tired of the anti-China spam thanks to past accounts doing the same thing
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
I go through waves. Sometimes I don’t want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn’t buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don’t let that be the only reason.
How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.
- Comment on Why you should be polite to AI 1 month ago:
Apologies if I come off as upset, I am not. I don’t feel I was even a target of those comments. I was just pointing out that some of those folks might have come out swinging due to the perceived tone of the original comment, and calling other people names does not help that situation. My real hope was that they would be a little more careful with their words since tone hard to convey in text, and using words associated with people that more often then not are not acting in good faith can convey either aggressiveness or just outright trolling
