Do you know what’s nuts? He’s well respected within the industry as an editor - he’s worked with many of the luminaries of science fiction and fantasy over the years as the editor for Wild Cards and other short story collections.

The main change was the chapter" riddles in the dark" - in the original printing Gollum willingly handed the ring over when Bilbo won the riddle contest. He did attempt other changes but these were rejected as they changed the tone of the book to much. He did make some later edits post Lord of the Rings due to the US copywrite expiring but these mostly changed minor lore details to bring it in line with the silmarillion.

They’re still making videos on YouTube at least once a year too! One of the two brother chaps who created it went on to work on the animated show Gravity Falls too.

Yep, you’ll never get it perfect, but a smaller layer height will make the steps less noticeable. Adaptive layer height in cura if you use that can help, but adds a mortal age to the length of the print.

It’s probably under exposed then. Something like this and this will help you tune your slicer settings. You might need to play with other settings if you have other issues, but most of the time the exposure settings will be the problem with new resins.

Is this the first print you’ve done with it? Have you done any exposure calibration with this resin?

Ethanol should be fine to use as far as I know. Do the holes go all the way through? If so your screen might have dead spots. You can visually inspect the screen by setting it to do a test exposure without the resin tank on it to check. Also obviously check that your tank doesn’t have any failed print bits stick to the sheet.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

Yes, but only in the fact that it looks like 4-5 different decks have got mixed together.

It’s not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don’t use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it’s a small team (comparatively). Their browser has some good features like app tracking protection just from having it installed and quick throwaway email support but isn’t quite up to Firefox’s standard (yet).

Don’t forgot the Blitzchung Hong Kong scandal - Blizzard has really gone from scandal to scandal the last few years.

I was there Gandalf…

I loved discovering all the little quirks of the character skins - I remember the stone golem was immune to fire.

You body begins to die a painful but probably mercifully quick death. Hormones are vital to your bodies continual survival and even if you targeted specific ones, you’d just be creating problems for yourself. Elimated dopamine? Congrats you’ve given yourself ADHD and a host of other personality problems. Melotonin? Oops no more sleep for you, enjoy your sudden weight gain and compromised immune system. We don’t take hormones, we are hormones.

The games industry is shrinking post COVID boom, companies expanded massively to try to capitalise on that and now the money isn’t there anymore. The games industry is always bad for layoffs, with staff being seen as an unnecessary expense post project in many cases. Additionally the tech sector is experiencing a unheard of levels of bad year (something like a 700%+ percent increase in layoffs according to at least one research group) which is contributing.

A shame, especially to be shut down a second time, the time splitters games defined my childhood.

That last bit goes for people too, it’s called Leukocoria can be am early sign of all sorts of eye disease. It’s a common way retinoblastoma (a thankfully relatively rare child eye cancer) gets caught - it shows up as a sort of white sheen in one eye in flash photos.

Feeling this for the last year or so. Graduated into a recession completely broke and unable to get a dev job, ended up doing admin with a side of dev work (as they found out I was “technically minded” - obviously without any extra pay) for the last 8 years to make ends meet. Quit my job in November of last year to do a coding bootcamp to update my knowledge and try again - learnt more in 4 months then I did in 3 years at university. Graduated into another recession and historic tech sector layoffs. Feels bad.

Probably better than dying, high cholesterol is responsible for 7.1% of deaths in England alone. In 2022 that’s something like 40k deaths a year that could have been elimated.
