Most studies done on violence and video games support the conclusion that violent video games can increase aggressive behavior in children and adolescents, especially boys, researchers said on Friday.

An analysis of 20 years of research shows the effects can be both immediate and long-lasting.

"The majority of the studies would suggest there are effects," said Jessica Nicoll of Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, Florida, who worked on the study.

One study showed that children who played a violent game for less than 10 minutes and then took a mood assessment test rated themselves with aggressive traits and aggressive actions shortly after playing.

wow, nice to see pshycologists wasting thier time on the theory that video games promote violence. video games are meant to portait, non-consequential enviorments, why? becuse quite frankly after coming home from nice hard, sweaty, boreing day of reality, i dont want to PLAY reality, i want to do something easy and NOT REAL. i relize that they find a tie between video games and violence, well let me give them a little dose of common sence. the gaming industry is huge, billions of dollars, all compressed into fake world of fun, magic, guns, violence, and more. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, JOBS, BUSSNESSES, BUILINDINGS, MOVIES, it's all tied into one thing, GAMEING. Billions of dollars, now let me run this by you in more practical terms, thats more money than we have in the american EDUCATION SYSTEM. 10-20 BILLION dollars, enough to buy your self a small COUNTRY. so the fact of the matter is EVERY ONE PLAYS THEM. so relating video games to violence is like relating BREATHING to violence. everyone breathes! everyone plays games. its one of those well no F---ing duh!!! things. yea you could ask a convict has he played GTA he's might say yea, but when he murdered his wife and children you think he was doing it so he could get some bonus points? i mean come the F--- on guys. these to things are so Un-related it's stupid. and for the testing before and after video games. well mabye i could go and make you play through a puzzle about 15 times, you will fail 14 out of 15 tries, and see if your a bit angry. YOU GONNA BE A BIT AGGROVATED. why? becuse you failed, mutipul times. and when you finaly win your HAPPY, but still a bit twinged on the fact that yea it was annoting for a few minutes. YOU KNOW WHAT!?!? i would bet a outrageous amout of money, on the the idea that if you ban video games crime would shoot up. why? cuse poeple would run out of jobs, some stock would plumet, children now have waaay to much free time with no X-Box to fill it in for them. so my view on this whole Video-Game-Violence thing is to the pschologists, go get a real job, deal with the fact that video games own. and most importantly eat shit.

VIDEO GAMES RULE

A video game is going to have as big of an influence on my violence level as watching the news would.

If a kid's fat, ugly, retarded, couch potatoe, whatever, it's the parents faults, not video games.

Yeah...I think I went retarded after ABC's post...

    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
