Okay sure. Though it's school season I can write an Anime of the Week (but I'll start with an overview first, then I'll gradually improve my essays) and a report/review on the Anime/Manga Social Group.

Is it okay for me to submit the articles in Sunday?

I already do an anime report for the forums, but if you want to do them, that is fine.

Actually, I'm looking for someone to write essays rather than overviews because Miz does that already. I think you should focus on anime rather than the anime forum.

What do you think about a series of articles in which older or newer members would share their memories about the TH-membership experience over the time? I can start it and any member could continue after me, if they wish to. I do not have the time to make it for tomorrow's issue, but for next week's one, I can.

Sorry guys, I won't have much this week. (Well as much as my usual like 5 articles.) I was a little preoccupied, but hopefully I can finish a part of my story. Its a parody about TH.net. So we shall see, if not, it will be in next weeks.

Once upon a time, it was Saturday.
Then it became Sunday.
Then it became Monday, very early in the morning (GMT).

Now it's Monday afternoon (GMT), and it's not out. :(

Deadline is now Saturday. Send all articles to Ninva. Those who do not send their articles on Saturday will not be included in the next Prose.

Wow. I see a lot of people here and there asking Ninva "Why are you late?!" [okay, perhaps not as angrily, but you get my point] and I'm kind of shocked. I understand the meaning of deadlines and that if you're going to supply a product, you typically do so on a schedule that you adhere to and as you adhere to it, you build credibility, but there's a big difference here.

This is not a product. There is no benefit to Ninva, the reporters or anything. No one is being paid for this or compensated. Maybe Ninva and co. get some +rep once in awhile. But in the end, when you compare the Prose to their, you know, LIVES, I'm shocked to see people having the audacity to even ask, let alone ask in an expectant way.

MAYBE... Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm crazy.

But maybe I'm not :)

I know how hard it is for me to write 1 article per week with my busy life, but Ninva has to manage the all the articles, so I agree with you Seth.

I think everyone who writes for the Prose does a great job. I do get frustrated at times when I don't have the necessary time to do things, but I do cut meetings short and find slots of time on most weekends. Sometimes I just can't get away.

The Prose is going through some management changes that will hopefully make things easier. If the new plan complicates things, then the administration may have to make more changes.

This whole project is a volunteer job, and it takes a great effort from everyone to maintain this news letter. Some wonder why I don't write many articles, and I have to say I just don't have the time. I'm seventeen now. I have a mega load of new responsibilities. Things aren't free. Siblings need looking after for because my parents are away. Life takes up most of my time, which is how it should be.

I don't expect anyone to pump out five articles a week. If you do, then I thank you. You're really committing yourself to the Prose, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame each week.

You may see things change within the few days. We're planning on changing the format, the publisher, and assign someone to just read all the articles and polish them up. This new set up will make the reader's experience a more pleasant one, and the finished product will mirror professional newspapers.

There'll be an article explaining everything in the coming Prose.

send = pm.

If its necessary, is 11:59:59 still an acceptable time to send articles or is that not preferable.

    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
