  They’re already trying that in New York and California, unfortunately. “Any 3D printer capable of printing parts for firearms” was the verbage, from what I recall.

  For the XP and material question, you should be able to make adjustments to the world settings to make life easier. To completely disable will require mods.

  Modding between Windows and Linux is the same. Drop files where they belong in the game files and hit run in Steam. Game progress will cloud save. Copy mods into game folder on steam deck (or a full copy from your windows machine).

  Read the install notes carefully for UE4SS. I think you have to run it to get folders to populate, but manually making them should not cause problems.

  It’s all about curation and review. If they use AI to make the whole project, it’s going to be bloated slop. If they use it to write sections that they then review, edit, and validate; then it’s all good.

  I’m fairly anti-AI for most current applications, but I’m not against purpose-built tools for improving workflow. I use some of Photoshop’s generative tools for editing parts of images I’m using for training material. Sometimes it does fine, sometimes I have to clean it up, and sometimes it’s so bad it’s not worth it. I’m being very selective, and if the details are wrong it’s no good. In the end, it’s still a photo I took, and it has some necessary touchups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is causing these layer lines? I'm assuming it has something to do with the curved part, as it starts around the same height as them. Is there a way I can avoid these?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like it’s in line with some features where very little filament is used. This is either a layer time issue, or a retraction issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought an Ender 3 V3 (corexz) recently, and have been having bed adhesion issues. Please help me interpret this bed adhesion test result⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You definitely want to drop your z offset a little bit lower than you would with a smooth plate. The goal is to squish some of that plastic down into the texture of the bed for some extra grip. I always take mine about -0.07 from the auto z offset

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨steam vs gog, which game store to buy from?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to go against the grain here and say I primarily buy from Steam. A lot of indie games don’t require Steam to run to play them and for the games that do, it’s not hard to bypass. I just like having everything in one spot where I can redownload to other devices when needed, and I can have cloud saves for bouncing between my PC and Steam Deck. Also, if I nuke my OS for a 3rd time this month (changing distros), I won’t have to start over on the games I’m playing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to say late 2000’s to early 2010’s was when my friends and I all built our own PCs for about $500.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recall it being a period of at least 10 years. A prior generation GPU would run about $150-200. The CPU/Mobo was the most expensive part

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss the days when $500 could build a “console killer”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guide recommendation for absolute newbies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The enclosure just protects the prints from drafts, which can cause sharp corners to curl. The most common instance of curling I had was printing square shaped PETG parts that needed to be flat on the bottom. I got away with no enclosure for years by setting up my prints with tall, thick skirts close to the part (draft shield), and a thicker brim. I was basically tacking down the corners with extra plastic to keep them from curling up. However, PETG was just a bit too curly for this print.

  The few times I absolutely needed draft protection, I used a trash bag. After I needed to do several batch prints for a cash job, I decided a $30 enclosure would be much more practical.

  So far, my Ender 3 has met my needs very well. Any upgrade would be a “want” at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guide recommendation for absolute newbies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For starters, you’re going to want an FDM printer. Resin printers can be nice, but there’s a lot more complexity to handle when you’re just figuring out how to print stuff.

  I’ve been using an Ender 3 V3 KE for a few years. It’s been pretty solid. I can use any slicer I want, but the one from the manufacturer, Creality Print, has been pretty good for me. Most printers can use any slicer you choose, though the slicer designed for that printed will often give better results (until you figure out what specific settings you need).

  Choose a budget, and then look for a printer with a direct drive extruder, auto leveling bed, and a heated plate. An enclosure is very nice, but I did fine for years without one. I recently bought an aftermarket enclosure after I started doing more PETG prints.

  Multi filament is a cool feature, but that’s up to you if you want to pay for that. It does create a lot of waste, and you can always tell the printer to pause at certain points for you to change filaments for those times you want to do different colors.

  Overall, I always recommend a simple-but-good printer at a reasonable price when getting started. Having convenience features will make the whole process easier, which I find makes it easier to learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a specific version of proton to use for RDR2. I believe it’s Hotfix. Do a search for getting it to run on Steam Deck, because I recall there may have been a command line argument to add to get it to run.

  I found Linux Mint Cinnamon edition to be an incredibly easy transition. Just make sure you disable secure boot and use the drive format that the installer recommends.

  I’m definitely going to have to check those out. It’s been a minute since I was in midtown. I used to head over there to get an EDM fix at Canvas on a Friday night.

  Granted, I’m on a new schedule, so I have a lot of catching up to do now that I finally have nights and weekends off.

  It really helps that there’s a quest book to guide you through some of the mods. Otherwise, you’re just searching for recipes in your inventory and hoping for the best.

  I highly recommend playing with a mod pack on a return playthrough. You can still do all of the vanilla stuff, but the experience is also expanded upon with things like steam quarries, programmable mining bots, digitized wireless storage, blood magic, dimensional travel, and cozy kitchens with in-depth cooking.

  I used to drive pretty hard into Feed The Beast, but All The Mods seems to have taken over it. The big thing with these packs is making all the mods play nice with each other, so they can share resources and be cross compatible.

  I recall one pack where the world was a wasteland. All the ores were depleted, and the oceans were toxic. You had to figure out how to try to grow crops, make survival gear to explore, and eventually make mystical crops that could produce tiny bits of ores that you could harvest.

  Somehow, our gaming habits keep overlapping. I just started playing Minecraft again a few days ago. However, I’m playing “All The Mods 10”. I’ve been focusing on creating an aesthetically pleasing factory this time. So far, I have a cozy house with a workshop. My mineshaft is behind the house, and it’s my starter shack converted into a garden shed.
