(in regards to the first paragraph) there are more than two reasons to play video games. “choose one of these pre-selected answers” is probably not the reason for most.

honestly, after import if you need a connectypiece you can probably just

openscad is a wonderful tool if you hate using your mouse. if you prefer scripting your way to victory, it is an amazing tool.
mouse is only used to move/zoom/tilt camera, everything else is keyboard

- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
gaming on linux is not janky. it is quite nice, and it leaves all of the MS UX nightmares at home.
i agree theat computers can be expensive, and are getting more expensive. if its for gaming, the games will be waaaaaaay cheaper, so one will have to look at the savings in the long run (especially by not having a subscription to use the product)

- Comment on I have a question in regards to 3d modeling for a filament slicer addon to my hotend 2 months ago:
i am unfamiliar with the printer and parts you are talking about, and am not sure which CAD program you use, so this may be irrelevant - i apologize if so, but the question is vague enough to warrant at least a little help if i can give it.
i use openscad for cad modelling. multiple files can be imported there and moved around. little pieces can be added between them if you require more attachment points than what is available (like if its connecting two roundy bits, etc).
what do you foresee as a problem with combining these two things in CAD?
- Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy. 2 months ago:
my parents were born in 1953 & 1954.
i was born in 1984. single income household, father is blue collar worker, mother is housewife.
when i was born, we lived in a big, two-story, full-size single family home in a high cost of living area.
when i was 3 years old (1987), my parents decided they wanted another house, so they bought one and we moved to an even higher cost of living area. they didnt sell the first house to afford a new one, they just bought another one and we had two houses.
what the fuck happened.
