FWIW: I highly recommend The Neverhood and a its encore, Skullmonkeys by Doug TenNapel. πŸ€˜πŸΌπŸ€“ (Both also available for PC, btw.)

Ah, the historic irony: fleeing to Germany from fascism. Now, to button up plans to emigrate...

Materialize might help?

I'm curious about ASA & TPU currently, and looking into best practices (began my printing journey in 2018 w/ a Mk1S & a Phrozen Mini duo) before jumping in, so this is helpful info, thank you (& OP, et al). πŸ€“

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter, sir. It has not been infrequently that I've realized my own need for functionally useful lights that "stay on for maintenance work and nozzle changes, when the printer is turned off" πŸ€ŒπŸΌπŸ€“

Years ago, in college, I was heading to a dinner with my GF's grandparents, and her father was driving w/ her sitting passenger and myself in the back seat.

The trip was ~1hr each way, and after 20-30 mins of their front-seat banter, it felt like a great chance to chime in (had spent a total of a few hours around her dad, felt it was a great opportunity to engage & build that relationship), so I began focusing on context cues to gauge my conversational entry point & topic β€” ya know, like ya do.

Mind you, the stereo was on (weighted to the rear speakers, as usual) and the road noise certainly played a part (windows up, thankfully) but I was able to catch a few clues and decided on opening with a tangential quip, so I loaded a few solutions and fired from the hip.

"Did someone say 'Florida'? That mythical place that old, white folks go to die?"

/prolonged, increasingly discomfiting silence

/GF's father quickly changes the subject w/o mention of Florida topic nor implying my inclusion

Days later, GF asks "WTF were you thinking? The whole dinner was for my dad to discuss their decision to move to Florida.", and certain details of the entire dinner & its conversational scenes began to make sense. πŸ«£πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Oh, neat. Another half-assed try at a new xeno tie-in that only makes more of a mess. Can't wait. /s

It'd be even better'd if it said something like:

"Today!" (above, left, curved ~45Β° to fit rainbow & anachro Care Bear/boho theme)

"May your god bless you with the day you voted for" (similar to existing text)

Hell, I'm this close to whipping that up and putting it out via Printify w/ a discount code for all y'all here to drop it to cost alone. πŸ€ŒπŸΌπŸ€“

She's still waiting on those checks from Durex.

Yeah, the plebs like it when the mask stays on the whole time.

That's an odd way to spell "send them to war", but it checks out.
