Tales from the Loop 1x01 — 6/10

Is the idea that this takes place in our world, and this is just a peculiar area hidden out somewhere? It doesn’t make sense to me, and I don’t think that’s what the original art implied.

Besides that, this first episode thinks so highly of its artistic direction that it isn’t making much of an effort to captivate me, and the children’s dialogue is pretty clunky.

I’ve spent the past two days looking into replacing my cheap shitty starter of a 3D printer and I have a serious case of choice paralysis. Do I care more about large build volume or the possibility of an official dual-filament add-on? Why can’t I have both. For like $300. Please.

# 2020/04/04 - 18:09 — published on @ff00aa

At $90 it’s just expensive enough that I don’t want to buy it and test for myself, but there are people whose whole job it is to play with such things and film the process.

# 2020/04/04 - 18:03 — published on @ff00aa

I get that most people aren’t as excited about dual-filament printing as I am but, well, that’s just a failure of imagination.

# 2020/04/04 - 17:55 — published on @ff00aa

This looks like a great, simple, efficient way to add dual-filament capability to any 3D printer and I don’t understand why I’m not finding any hacks online to install it on printers of other brands

During video calls, our bodies feel that the other person is not present but the eyes & ears tell a different story - they deny the absence. This conflict is unconscious but we often feel tired.

How good is Frostpunk that I decided to start a second scenario so soon after finish the first one. And I love how you get one automaton with little chance of building more in the main campaign, then the next scenario is specifically focused on automating all the things.
