The SGDQ run of Balatro is amazing if you wanna see how crazy it can get.

The skit was the the boys were going to make an ad for the new Volkswagen, this one was from Clarkson. It’s honestly hysterical

Yes Pebble OS is now open source, however I think adding RSSI might only work on newer devices, since classic pebbles are just Bluetooth and Bluetooth le. Though they may have Bluetooth le as a part of pairing?

Still a fun experiment and a good way to see why Bluetooth headphones actually are as reliable as they are.

I grew up in the era of. PCs take forever to boot and sleep is good enough that when I turn it back on it’s still alive.

Laptop Sleep, desktop depends on when I use it last.

That’s not even past the prologue

I agree for existing products. But for new products before reviews are there. It’s very very hard to make your product stand out. Or to convince buyers to try it out.

Thank you, if you do want to see my models, they are on Printables here: https://www.printables.com/@16bitvirtual

Because printing in Linux both works and is supported and not supported and hope that there are drivers and they work.

For example, I have a brother printer and in both arch and Ubuntu/mint the printer worked out of the box. But I was missing features like double sided printing. So I had to download drivers for it.

In arch the drivers were on the AUR, so I was printing is seconds.

In Ubuntu/mint they weren’t in my package manager, so I had to go to brother’s website and hope they had drivers. Brother did and while it took a bit it did work too. No worse than windows.

The brillants of Creality's printers both the Ender 3 and 5, is that they use off the shelf parts. From its heatbed to its nozzle and stepper motors.

Which means that if something breaks or wears out, a replacement is $0.20 from Amazon.

The problem with Creality is quality control. Everything that I bought from Creality either broke in a few months, needed upgrades or came broken from factory. This isn't just their printers its their laser cutters too.

However because they break they are excellent learning printers. While it may be tempting to print the biggest thing, I would advise a smaller printer like the Ender 3. It was hard to level 200mm leveling 350mm won't be easy.

That said I think which printer you get should depend on what you want to do with it.

If you are more interested in modeling and cad design than a low maintenance printer like a Prusa would be best.

If you want to tinker with the printer itself: then an Ender is perfect since you can break it to your hearts content and fix it yourself.

Otherwise you don't know: get the cheapest recommended printer around $350-$400 and use it til it breaks. Either you'll know what you want or break it and you'll get a good idea on what type of printer you need.

@madewithlayers and @makersmuse on YouTube is a good starting point

DuckTales or DuckTales 2 for the NES playable in the Disney afternoon collection. TBH most of the games there should be your jam based on Shovel Knights influence.

Hollow Knight based though, Guacemelee is good, not sure about its sequel. Axiomverge too. But they are metroid like games so Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion would be another recommendation.

I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing this. The steam deck is still relatively new and proton/dxvk is improving at such a blinding pace compared to the rest of Linux that my head is still spinning.

From my limited understanding, because of Arch's rolling releases and Valve basing the steam deck on Arch. DXVK the compatibility layer for DX games to vulkan is managed by the distro. How this works is magic is still magic to me. I also think graphic drivers gets pushed on arch early too, since it's a rolling release.

However I am in complete agreement, Arch isn't beginner friendly, I personally like Manjaro and find it friendlier, but that's like having a pet cat, and it's a Bob cat. Sure it's not a Lion, but it's not a Kitty.
