Well, not because you Just find it boring, but because there's Just nothing good anymore.

So, how do you feel about the current and future of gaming?

The most recent game i have played is wings of liberty.
The next most recent game i played was tes 4 oblivion.
So, i think i could say i grew pretty tired of the games nowadays.
Oblivion was a huge disappointment for me, black and white 2 also was a huge disappointment. After those two games i have spent valueable money on and got disappointed i pretty much decided to never buy a game anymore.
I support the indy scene though, i try to make my own games, i am thinking alot about game balance and how a game should be like, but i really dont play games that much anymore.

I suppose games are getting a bit repetitive for me now, but that's expected. I mean, after playing so many, there's not much more you can find that is new.
I remember as kids, we could play so many games and find all of them fun and exciting, and spend hours on them. Now, I rarely play a game for more than like 20 hours gametime.

Indy games are fun though they are short. Maybe that's why I like them though, I finish through their novelty quickly before they get boring and repetitive like mainstream games.

This brings to mind the games I played when I was half my age. Games like Lightspeed and Paradoxion, which few people knew about but provided me with hours of entertainment. I only mention those because I've been replaying them, but there were tons of others.

Because I find it likeable. If it was a Facebook status I would unlike it just to like it again.

I agree with you FireCat; I've recently figured out that gaming is a waste of time that could be spent doing much more productive things. However, when I do game, I rely on old classics that I've always loved like Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Startopia (look it up, epic game), Age of Empire, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, the list goes on.

There are a few games I try nowadays, but modern games run slow on my laptop and I tend to be a bit anti-mainstream. Also, practically half of all the games made recently are based on/have game mechanics from CoD :/. I LOVE Starcraft 2, and I can't stop playing Minecraft :D I love all the Lego games as well, they're funny and stress-free games.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
