  • Appreciate that dwarf fortress is an 18 year old game. They first released it in 2006 and even then the interface was clunky and never a priority. It is a dwarf simulation engine first and an interactive game second.

    RimWorld owes its existence to Dwarf Fortress the way Halo owes its existence to Doom, or World of Warcraft owes its existence to RuneScape. Dwarf Fortress is the precursor for all games like RimWorld. So comparing their interfaces will always set Dwarf Fortress up to lose, just like if you compared the controls in Halo against the original Doom. I think you have to approach Dwarf Fortress more like playing a piece of gaming history, and a look into the world of a very interesting human, Tarn Adams, rather than a modern game competing against modern titles.

    Have you looked up settings for this new resin? Or run calibration test prints with it? If you’re using the settings for the old resin with a different kind of resin it won’t be right. It looks like your exposure time is too low, the resin isn’t being cured enough at each layer so it’s not adhering. Bump up the exposure time a lot and see if anything comes out. Also bump support thickness and connection thickness up. You can see the supports not even making full connection with that spear in the photo.


  • Reading phenomenologists without a guide or instructor is a recipe for frustration. They are very dense and the German language’s ability to create new words by mashing existing words together does not help.

    Back when I was a philosophy major I found the Stanford website to be really helpful for getting orientated prior to reading the actual text. Phenomenology, like many schools of philosophy, is a response to the philosophy that came before it, so it’s important to understand the context that Hegel is writing in.

    The nothing itself nothings.




  • A car with the ability to lock down the interface for children/elderly probably does not exist.

    I would check out the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet bolt if those are available.

    Dealers are always going to try to talk you out of buying an EV from them. They make their money doing maintenance and oil changes on cars they sell, EVs have no maintenance, so they see them as bad for business. You have to pick out the exact car you want on their lot, write down the VIN number, then go in and tell them that is the car you want to buy. If they try to switch you up just start walking out. Be firm.
