You've said something is creepy in like every thread recently.
World is creepy after all. There is creepy stuff around every creepy corner.
The life of a firecat is indeed pretty creepy if you think about how creepy the world he is living in really is.

Would you enjoy fapping around with your dick. If someone act like a girl in a avatar or whatever it's behind it? tell me this wouldn't be creepy?
I know worse. Let the people do what they enjoy, as long as nobody gets hurt you dont need to mind them.

Explain when "sometimes" appears?

Behind the creepy avatar! What else? @Accname
There is nothing behind an avatar. Its an image on a computer screen silly. Or do you talk about behind the screen? Maybe the wall? I dont know what is behind your screen.

well, you can't say it's his face. right?
What do you mean? Is he some kind of monster who steals other peoples faces and puts them on like a mask?
How can his face not be his face? Thats some weird logic there.

You think the face of the virtual avatar isnt the face of the virtual avatar?
And how can you "tell" a face anyways?

Avatars are there to hide a person's identity. An avatar is used in place of a living being (doesn't have to be humans, you know?).

Therefore, if avatars are to exist, then there is a possibility that a living being with a high intelligence which is able to control an avatar existing. The only living being with a high intellect are the humans on Earth.

Else there may be a new breed of living beings with a high intellect, just like us, out there.

If an avatar is fake, it means something is controlling the avatar in such a way that makes us feel as if it's fake. If it's true, the avatar could either be controlled by a sophisticated AI, or a living being with a moderate intelligence. The latter case is extremely rare, to the point that it doesn't occur in nature. And as for the former case, a sophisticated AI is something Japanese strived to accomplish.

Thus, in all truthfulness, when an avatar is fake, we can assume that someone wanted the avatar to be fake, therefore relies on AI to do the controlling, and let that person use the fake avatar to accomplish one's own desires.

    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.

    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
