- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 5 days ago:
Fantastic game soundtracks are the ones which I actually go out of my way to acquire. Chrono Trigger, PixelJunkMonsters Deluxe, SimCity 3000, and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
- Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital) 5 days ago:
In my view Physical games are digital game in containers that we’ve yet to figure out to open. Digital games almost always have a DRM on top of it, and rarely can be used outside of their designated environment. My GameBoy, and PSP games have had a very long shelf life thanks to emulation and the various methods to back them up.
- Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital) 5 days ago:
Agreed on the “whole game needs to be on disc”. Was the reason I never bought Reignited Trilogy on Switch physically. No point since it was basically a digital game anyways.
- Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital) 5 days ago:
I have a bit more nuances on that. Some games are Steam or console only, so what I do there is get them deeeply discounted so that if I was to loose them the hit isn’t much. Otherwise GOG like digital services, or physical all the way.
The other way I look at it is for systems like the Switch or 3DS, where once it’s cracked open. The game has a very high chance at being emulated easily with wider compatibility than it would otherwise.

- Comment on Finished Links Awakening Remake on Hero Mode. 1 week ago:
I personally prefer DX. The GB printer bonus gives the game such a personality which is sadly missing.
If it was the same price I’d say pick the one you wanna play, but since it’s more expensive it’s not doing anything which makes it worth more.
At MSRP it’s price is crazy

Yup, has a grapple point for it
- Comment on Finished Links Awakening Remake on Hero Mode. 1 week ago:
I love the original and it still inches this one out. With that said, try the original again. Since if you like it and want more you have the oracle games to play

First 2 dungeons are a slog. Get a fairy bottle and cream and it’s slow going. But it levels the playing field

Links Awakening - all time favourite and is fun on switch or gameboy
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t find it suspicious. Bring attention to it and it’ll get more votes. Ignore it and it’ll go away.
Now that it’s passed multiple thresholds and is gained a lot of support. They will not try and stop it.

Maybe, it was a mystery

I don’t know much, other than I have a box of them at home which I used for my older designs, and kept with since I could buy them cheap enough in bulk.
Wanted to make them out of plastic because I wanted to save some costs and this is what I got. I also find it funny that I got the thread which has a 15.875TPI at the end of the day. Half of what I am use to.

Anything with sharp angles will be likely strip it. Spanner Drive heads might do it, but it’s an uncommon type of screw bit.

These are the size of 10-32’s… if their head strips you are putting a ton of torque on it.

Still testing the head designs. Should consider a slot instead since the hole doesn’t take well to a metal screw driver.
As for the fills. Wall thickness has more impact than infill due to it’s size. With that said, from my testing with stylus, 100% infill bends better than 25% which I am using. But as this is not suppose to be used crooked it shouldn’t make too much of a difference.

- Comment on This took forever to design. But I got a functional Screw and Nut 3D Printed 5 weeks ago:
My solution was actually to change the print orientation and cut a little into the screw. Print reliability and consistency is high and the fit is perfect.
Once I’m done I can probably share the designs

- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 1 month ago:
Lots of other great suggestions. But I do think the consensus is multiplayer games with coop.
Konami beat ‘em ups like TMNT, The Simpson, Xmen would be great.
I’m also going to throw in Party games or kart racers, CTR and Mario Kart of Mario Party or Crash Bash would also be great
That said Pokémon might be a nice option too though not sure how you’d play that together.
Or edutainment like Gizmos and Gadgets or Jumpstart
- Comment on For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box. 1 month ago:
I actually really like the first game. Had a unique aesthetic which is missing from the other games.

Physically, the only game which is missing is Mirage. Shadows is “next gen” only. Freedom Cry is digital only. And while they are not shown I do own Bloodlines and Liberation on my Vita.
- Comment on Finally found a way to get Garolite print beds for my Prusa's 1 month ago:
I print almost daily. PEI wares down to quickly for my use case. I will agree on a fresh sheet of PEI Garolite is worse. However after a few prints. Garolite is more consistent.
- Comment on For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box. 1 month ago:
Yet, no. I’ve played most of them. AC1 and 2 are so far my fav. Black Flag is in it’s own category. Skipped Brotherhood and Revelations. I tried AC3 but gave up on it. Didn’t play Rouge, Chronicles or Valhalla. Unity sucks. Syndicate is OK, Origins is good so far, Odyssey is fine, but a slog.
- Comment on For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box. 1 month ago:
Syndicate isn’t that bad… if you ignore Jacob. Odyssey is just beautiful, and the combat isn’t bad if you drop the difficulty down to a reasonable level.
Trying Origins now and I am liking it. Though I understand where you are coming from Odyssey and Origins would be better games if the RPG elements were gone.

I saw it, I asked why. Then I saw it’s price and compared it to eBay. It was honestly a steal of a deal to get Chronicles.
