    fuck off, we didn't want you then and we don't want you polluting our election now. With multiple dem candidates it's going to favor whomever R is running by splitting the blue vote.

  • Is there a name for the dark-fantasy/pirate genre?

    Jump

  • Yes it just came out recently. It's a single season, and it's excellent. I think it's on Netflix.

  • You might be interested in watching the series "The Terror". It's not pirates in any way, but it chronicles the voyages and slow descent into madness of The Terror and The Erebus crews of Franklin's lost polar expedition. It's nautical, dark, has some supernatural elements, and may scratch your itch. I thought it was excellent.

    Edit: there's another supernatural nautical series called 1899. It was created by the same people as DARK (one of my all time top rated series ever). It wasn't anywhere near as good as DARK, but it was an interesting watch. It's rather hard to describe it without giving anything away, but it's set on an oceanliner at sea in 1899, and strange things start happening. It's similar in nature to The Terror so I thought I'd mention it. The Terror is far, far better IMO.

  • Which “small” indie game/film/book hit you harder than most blockbusters?

  • I just finished ViewFinder. It's peaceful, surreal, beautiful, and poignant. Highly recommended if you like puzzle games. The end hits you in the feels.

  • Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those?

    Jump

  • There are a number of collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy alternative types of media. It was an experience listening to music on tape and hearing the hiss of the tape. It has a different sound to it, sort of like vinyl.

    If there's money to be made, they'll find ways to get it. If that means selling tapes, they'll sell tapes again. Records are still back in style and being mass produced again.

  • You can also see the individual white blood cells flowing through the vessels your eyes this way. It's actually really neat. It's called the Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon.

  • VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power

    Jump

  • I remember when you could just adjust or swap the carb... I would never in a million years buy a soft-locked car.

    If the feature is there, it better work without a monthly cost. I'd order it factory delete, otherwise. Probably not an option with the goofy computer systems they put in vehicles these days. I loathe touch-panel controls in cars. I want knobs and buttons, not controls buried 3 clicks deep into some awful UI behind a crappy low res resistive touch panel. Gross.

    And in 5 or 10 years, whenever your car computer becomes obsolete and no longer connects to the control servers, what about your features then? I presume they'll just stop working without a server to approve it.

    There's nothing good about this ecosystem. It's meant to cost you indefinitely before premature and manufacturer-premeditated replacement.

  • Did anyone else snort Pixy Stix as a kid?

  • Saw a kid do a rail of pixie on the bus one time. They said it burned. I'd believe it, with all that citric acid in there for tartness.

  • What were your parent's rules on video games?

    Jump

  • As kids we had a dos 286 pc with some basic vga games. Nearly all of them were educational so my parents let us play those whenever. We got a used SNES for xmas the year the n64 came out, and we played that as much as we could. My parents didn't know then and still struggle now with computers, so they let me do as I pleased with the PC, within reason.

    As a teen I bought my own computer and my own PC games. My parents probably would not have approved of me playing half life, doom, quake, UT, and other graphic games, but I played the hell out of those. I also had stuff like myst that were pretty low key but fun. My PC was my own personal machine, so I did with it what I wanted, when I wanted.

    The usual concern with most older gen gamers was having parents telling us video games would rot our brains. As they stared at the TV for hours most nights... Video games sharpen your motor skills, reflex times, logic and reasoning skills, among other things. I find quite the opposite to be true and would advocate that video games are actually very, very good for you in many ways, unlike most television shows. I highly encourage gaming over watching. Our family game night is usually played on a console rather than a table.

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • It's all about what works best for the particular individual. The majority of people want some hand-holding, and that's ok. Not everyone is into designing their own hotends or completely rebuilding stock printers into monsters :)

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • TBH I prefer the older machines, I stay away from the proprietary all-in-one stuff. I'm all about modularity, and usually means keeping parts and processes standard between builds for production's sake.

  • My fleet of ender 3's have upgraded themselves all to direct drive linear rail dual z, etc. but they've also been instrumental in creating dummy and temp parts to build multiple CNC machines, which then are used to make their own final parts. It's wild what you can do!

    I'm currently rebuilding a brand new AnyCubic Kobra2 max, since the factory controller hardware is trash. I bought it for the frame and hotbed. It's getting all new motion control, klipper, direct drive, bl touch, and a input shaping among other things.
