Dec 22, 2018 7:33 AM - Statboy: my computer died, again. so quick question if launch bios and boot from a windows 10 disk can i format my harddrive before the new install?
Dec 22, 2018 8:37 AM - VaultBot: ... have we levelled up after all that
Dec 22, 2018 8:37 AM - theLumberJack: I have no idea about the win 10 disk. I would assume it would have some kind of format utility because a new drive wouldn't necessarily be formatted
Dec 22, 2018 8:37 AM - Statboy: cause lets be honest its probably time to upgrade
Dec 22, 2018 8:39 AM - theLumberJack: I have win 10 at home and win 7 at work
Dec 22, 2018 8:46 AM - Statboy: i like windows 7, windows 10 concerns me, but i have to upgrade eventually and i currently need a wipe and reinstall so its time
Dec 22, 2018 9:46 AM - VintagePC: I hate win10
Dec 22, 2018 9:46 AM - VintagePC: literally every single update at work they push random unnecessary shit to your computer
Dec 22, 2018 9:46 AM - VintagePC: that you cannot remove
Dec 22, 2018 9:47 AM - VaultBot: our servers are in a state of idk yet. gibrex is going to break down lets melt down against the right places...
Dec 22, 2018 9:47 AM - VintagePC: I don't want your damn xbox/maps/whathaveyou shit
Dec 22, 2018 9:49 AM - TimeCrush: Stat your best bet is finding a usb to write to. You technically can use the disk, but it will require you to keep the disk in the drive for the rest of your computers life + it will become increasingly unstable the more you use it.
Dec 22, 2018 9:50 AM - TimeCrush: You could use the disk to give yourself a platform to MAKE the usb key
Dec 22, 2018 9:50 AM - TimeCrush: I'd support that idea
Dec 22, 2018 10:35 AM - Statboy: lol i am currently downloading the iso on my tablet so i can move it to a usb
Dec 22, 2018 11:20 AM - TimeCrush: So if you guys get the humble monthly, we all got a game called 'Immortal Redneck' - Sounds stupid, actually pretty dang fun
Dec 22, 2018 3:35 PM - Statboy: HOLY SHIT WINDOWS 10 SUCKS
Dec 22, 2018 3:36 PM - Statboy: everything is slower, ads fucking everywhere, bloatware galore, and they moved the location of fucking everything
Dec 22, 2018 4:37 PM - VintagePC: I warned you
Dec 22, 2018 4:37 PM - VintagePC: time to install linux ;P
Dec 22, 2018 5:05 PM - Statboy: I do not know enough coding to use linux
Dec 22, 2018 5:48 PM - Reechard: Linux is EXTREMELY usable GUI-only
Dec 22, 2018 5:48 PM - Reechard: the stereotypes are pretty 10 years ago...
Dec 22, 2018 5:49 PM - Reechard: Drivers, even NVidia drivers, are click-to-install on first boot
Dec 22, 2018 5:49 PM - Reechard: software updates and stuff like that are all done automatically by gui
Dec 22, 2018 5:50 PM - Reechard: it has chrome and firefox.... and steam...
Dec 22, 2018 5:50 PM - Reechard: and like, mumble and discord and shit just auto-install now from online installers
Dec 22, 2018 5:51 PM - Reechard: But Ubuntu, out of the box, is RIDICULOUSLY user-friendly.
Dec 22, 2018 5:51 PM - Reechard: and just as easy to troubleshoot.
Dec 22, 2018 5:51 PM - Reechard: you will have DOZENS of *GOOD* search results on google if you have any issues.
Dec 22, 2018 5:52 PM - Reechard: because it is extremely widely used as a desktop OS now, rather than just some nerds in closets making fun of people for not knowing how to code.
Dec 22, 2018 5:52 PM - Reechard: I would put it on-level with Win7 with ease-of-use at this point.
Dec 22, 2018 5:53 PM - VaultBot: well do you know any newish songs that have a 110"" 4k screen
Dec 22, 2018 5:53 PM - Reechard: The only learning curve I would say, is learning how the system structure works, but you reeeeeaaaalllly don't need to know that to be a user.
Dec 22, 2018 5:54 PM - Reechard: It's like.... I'd compare it to knowing kinda what c:/windows/ contains on purpose...
Dec 22, 2018 5:54 PM - Reechard: you don't need to know that to use it and be fine, but if you run into issues it doesn't hurt.
Dec 22, 2018 5:54 PM - Reechard: you also know me, Vintage, TimeCrush.
Dec 22, 2018 5:54 PM - Reechard: TC used to do Linux for a living.
Dec 22, 2018 5:55 PM - Reechard: Vintage is a nerd.
Dec 22, 2018 5:55 PM - Reechard: and I do so much Linux at work that I hate using it for a desktop because I'm elbow-deep in it 40 hours a week.
Dec 22, 2018 5:56 PM - Reechard: Your support net for *linux* is far better than it is for *windows*!
Dec 22, 2018 5:56 PM - Reechard: (Vintage am I helping?)
Dec 22, 2018 5:57 PM - Reechard: Jessa got her first computer for Christmas like... idk 4 or 5 years ago now christ almighty I'm old
Dec 22, 2018 5:57 PM - Reechard: she immediately had malware/spyware/viruses out the ass because she was an 8 year old child.
Dec 22, 2018 5:58 PM - Reechard: so I burned her an Ubuntu DVD and handed it to her and said "fix it"
Dec 22, 2018 5:59 PM - Reechard: and she, on her own, with just an occasional nudge or hint, got it reinstalled, Nvidia drivers installed, Steam installed, and playing games.
Dec 22, 2018 5:59 PM - Reechard: and no more viruses or malware or spyware.
Dec 22, 2018 5:59 PM - Reechard: they just don't fuckin work.
Dec 22, 2018 5:59 PM - Reechard: *CAN I GET AN AMEN*
Dec 22, 2018 6:01 PM - Reechard: Anyways, at this point what do you have to lose other than giving it the ole' college try?
Dec 22, 2018 6:02 PM - VaultBot: like samsung's multi window mode. it only lets you use a handful of select features for split screen. a viewers end... eh
Dec 22, 2018 6:02 PM - Reechard: When I started, the operating system and every piece of compatible software in the OS library came on 3 CDs... physically.
Dec 22, 2018 6:03 PM - Reechard: and you COULD get software from other places that weren't the OS provider... but you had to have internet access.
Dec 22, 2018 6:05 PM - Reechard: so I had a main PC that was like a 1.4GHz AMD Athlon XP, and a "toy" computer that was a teeny tiny
Dec 22, 2018 6:06 PM - Reechard:
Vintage-Compaq-Desktop-Pro-PD1030-w-Celeron-500MHz-128MB.jpg

Dec 22, 2018 6:06 PM - Reechard: 500mhz celeron + 256MB PC133
Dec 22, 2018 6:06 PM - Reechard: it ran Redhat 4 pretty good.
Dec 22, 2018 6:06 PM - Reechard: which is what came with the "Linux For Dummies" book
Dec 22, 2018 6:06 PM - Reechard: on 3 CDs :D
Dec 22, 2018 6:16 PM - Statboy: i'm going to get a little laptop for school/work probably soon. I might try Unbutu, cause damn anything has to be better than Windows
Dec 22, 2018 6:17 PM - Statboy: Also I think you wore out your soapbox on that one :)
Dec 22, 2018 6:24 PM - Reechard: Yeah that's the whole speech
Dec 22, 2018 6:25 PM - Reechard: all I can say is your misgivings are based on dated info... 10 years ago I *absolutely* agree it wasn't ready for public consumption. Support sucked.
Dec 22, 2018 6:26 PM - Reechard: Now most hardware is supported, and everything "just works", and if there was a windows program you used for XYZ there's probably a free alternative that you can just click and install from the repo.
Dec 22, 2018 7:16 PM - Statboy: I already use apache open office instead of MS Office
Dec 22, 2018 7:16 PM - Statboy: and Thunderbird instead of Outlook
Dec 22, 2018 7:48 PM - TimeCrush: Linux if you want to put in the time to make it fucking work right and you know it will work right.
Dec 22, 2018 7:48 PM - TimeCrush: Windows for, "Eh fuck it, probably will work."
Dec 22, 2018 8:34 PM - theLumberJack: i find win10 works better once you disable as much as you can
Dec 22, 2018 8:34 PM - theLumberJack: which blows that that is even a sentence
Dec 22, 2018 8:34 PM - theLumberJack: https://www.privacytools.io/#win10
 
Dec 23, 2018 6:30 AM - VintagePC: point is you shouldn't HAVE to do that shit out of the box on win10
Dec 23, 2018 6:31 AM - VintagePC: and there is so much shit you can't disable because it's baked in
Dec 23, 2018 6:32 AM - VintagePC: and it just comes back after an update if you do manage to excise it
Dec 23, 2018 6:33 AM - VintagePC: I'm surprised the EU hasn't already hit them with "IE antitrust lawsuits 2.0". Unless it's different there and we just get shafted because nobody gives a crap about anti-competitive monopolies here
Dec 23, 2018 9:00 AM - Statboy: I downloaded 4 games from steam, the ones I'm playing the most right now, only 2 of them play on Linux
Dec 23, 2018 9:04 AM - Statboy: so i guess that misconception is still true
Dec 23, 2018 9:05 AM - VintagePC: Crossover Linux. 'nuff said
Dec 23, 2018 9:07 AM - VintagePC: and you are equating "usability" with "ability to run windows software" which are two different beasts
Dec 23, 2018 9:33 AM - VintagePC: FWIW I have several computer illiterate family members using linux for day-to-day stuff (documents, internet, email) no issue.
Dec 23, 2018 9:33 AM - VintagePC: and if you really don't want to pay for a quality product like Crossover, you can make do with wine/PlayOnLinux etc
Dec 23, 2018 9:34 AM - VintagePC: but $30/yr (often less if you renew during a sale)... damn well worth it for having a lot of stuff "just work"
Dec 23, 2018 9:38 AM - VintagePC: I think the last time I had to boot windows was to play obduction... and that was because my machine specs were borderline for it already
Dec 23, 2018 10:46 AM - Statboy: I was reading on the forums were Wine didn't work with at least one of my games I'm playing. I don't call most games "Windows Software" they just make sure they run on windows since that is the most common. Which is the essence of the issue, we still don't have producers making sure things run on other platforms well
Dec 23, 2018 10:48 AM - VaultBot: i baked a breaded chicken parmesan
Dec 23, 2018 10:48 AM - Statboy: This is a case of Windows just works and you have to fight Linux. I don't do work on my computer, I don't do social media, I just play games on it (including Pathfinder).
Dec 23, 2018 12:48 PM - VintagePC: what game?
Dec 23, 2018 1:23 PM - Statboy: Planetside 2, its actually the anti-cheat program Battle-eye that can't be run on Wine, but as its required to play the game...
Dec 23, 2018 6:56 PM - TimeCrush: Oh shame, battle-eye is used for a lot of other shooters as well. I think its Battlefields thing.
 
Dec 24, 2018 at 10:14 AM - VintagePC: Why is it so mesmerizing to watch a 3d printer at work?
Dec 24, 2018 at 4:37 PM - TimeCrush: Big truth there Vint
Dec 24, 2018 at 4:37 PM - TimeCrush: vvt VVVT-...vvvt VVVT-....vvvvt VVVTTT- VT-VT-VT-VT......vvvvvtt VVVVTT.
Dec 24, 2018 at 5:30 PM - Statboy: in b4 Vint is 3d printing a dick
Dec 24, 2018 at 5:41 PM - VintagePC: doot toot doot dit deet dot dat bipbipbipbip bvwwwwwwwwwwwwwww mmmm vooop beep
Dec 24, 2018 at 5:43 PM - VaultBot: ""good""? screw good damnit
Dec 24, 2018 at 5:43 PM - VintagePC: fortunately, we don't ALL have stat's impulses
Dec 24, 2018 at 5:44 PM - VintagePC: so far I've printed a printer alignment tool, a gear hub, a lithophane, a filament reel holder, and an adapter so I can print Carcassonne tiles in my printer's CD tray
Dec 24, 2018 at 9:16 PM - theLumberJack: so far on my printer i have printed a bunch of things calibration items because i still can't quite get a satisfying print
Dec 24, 2018 at 9:16 PM - theLumberJack: everything seems under extruded
Dec 24, 2018 at 9:52 PM - VintagePC: have you tried adjusting your extrusion multiplier?
Dec 24, 2018 at 9:52 PM - VaultBot: slamming it down on the table
Dec 24, 2018 at 9:52 PM - VintagePC: what printer?
 
Dec 24, 2018 at 11:33 PM - Hexalan: merry christmas bitches
Dec 24, 2018 at 11:35 PM - Hexalan: also @stat i have a $100 thinkpad from ebay that i installed mint on that i do all my schoolwork on
Dec 25, 2018 at 5:10 AM - Reechard: Merry Christmas.
Dec 25, 2018 at 7:54 AM - Statboy: merry xmas
Dec 25, 2018 at 11:02 AM - VintagePC: merry vaultmas
Dec 25, 2018 at 11:02 AM - VintagePC: may all your holidays be filled with nerdy things
Dec 25, 2018 at 2:44 PM - VintagePC: Signed in to MC just to see the christmas TROLOLOL from Reika. Was not disappointed
Dec 25, 2018 at 2:44 PM - VintagePC:

Dec 27, 2018 6:28 AM - theLumberJack: It should be a combination of rolls
Dec 27, 2018 7:15 AM - TimeCrush: It really comes down to how enthusiastically they roll.
Dec 27, 2018 8:06 AM - VintagePC: what if they don't even roll and actually roleplay instead?
Dec 27, 2018 8:06 AM - VintagePC: :stir:
Dec 27, 2018 11:15 AM - TimeCrush: New card game out - been playing it and having a blast
Dec 27, 2018 11:15 AM - TimeCrush: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/8/1/keyforge-call-of-the-archons/
 
Dec 29, 2018 at 2:34 PM - theLumberJack: What day are we pf this week again
Dec 29, 2018 at 3:17 PM - VintagePC: Tuesday, I think
Dec 29, 2018 at 3:17 PM - VintagePC: 'cause newyear's eve is the big one
Dec 29, 2018 at 3:18 PM - VintagePC: nobody cares about evening on Jan 1st
Dec 29, 2018 at 8:19 PM - Reechard: Yep, playing Tuesday
 
Dec 30, 2018 8:51 AM - Statboy: Tuesday, also old man stat is going to bed early on monday
Dec 30, 2018 9:08 AM - theLumberJack: i plan to go to bed at 0010
Dec 30, 2018 3:39 PM - Statboy: bet i beat you to bed by 3 hours
 
Dec 31, 2018 at 6:55 AM - Reechard: play Overwatch, it's TF3.
Dec 31, 2018 at 6:55 AM - Reechard: but it's terrible on holiday weekends :-/
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:06 AM - Reechard: had a weird-ass year guys...
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:06 AM - Reechard: hope the next one is better!
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:52 AM - VintagePC: amen to that
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:12 AM - Statboy: That was my 2017, and 2018 was much better. That's the thing about perseverance, just keep putting one foot in front of the other, do what you can today to make tomorrow a little better than yesterday.
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:13 AM - Statboy: And things will get better.
Dec 31, 2018 at 10:40 AM - theLumberJack: after barely sleeping last night stat might not beat me to bed today
Dec 31, 2018 at 11:12 AM - Iceh: I play a ton of overwatch already though
Dec 31, 2018 at 11:52 AM - VintagePC: We have a fledgeling EU Jailbreak community but I doubt that would scratch your itch
Dec 31, 2018 at 12:16 PM - theLumberJack: i redownloaded it and played some with splyons the other day
Dec 31, 2018 at 12:17 PM - theLumberJack: oh how i had missed backstabbing
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:06 PM - Statboy: So i'm having trouble finishing up for tomorrow night, because apparently i need to update a thing to convert my maps to pictures.
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:07 PM - Statboy: But i get an error code saying i'm not connected to the internet when i try to update
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:07 PM - Statboy: yet i'm clearly connected, cause here we are
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:07 PM - theLumberJack: womp womp
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:09 PM - Statboy: windows troubleshooter is the best, it used edge (not my default browser) to open a webpage and look for the error code. It took me to a page that did not address that error code anyway
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:09 PM - Statboy: it used the internet to ask why i'm not connected to the internet and still fucked it up
Dec 31, 2018 at 4:43 PM - Statboy: atm things are not looking well for 2morrow
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:12 PM - Iceh: Jailbreak!? What happened to 24 hour dustbowl
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:14 PM - VintagePC: the valvening
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:17 PM - VaultBot: all what shit?
Dec 31, 2018 at 7:17 PM - VintagePC: also where were you six days ago for colour contrast :p
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:08 PM - Iceh: Valvening? I am super confused
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:12 PM - VintagePC: valve just did more stuff that basically killed communities
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:12 PM - VintagePC: all the regulars moved on
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:13 PM - Iceh: That is really sad since i dont see no tf3
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:18 PM - theLumberJack: It is sad
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:37 PM - Iceh: What is the point of messing with the communities since they are the only servers left right?
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:52 PM - VintagePC: there were a few bad operators and a LOT of squeaky wheels
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:57 PM - VaultBot: you got enough to work with this sample size
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:57 PM - VintagePC: basically they nerfed any chance you had of getting people from quickplay unless you were completely stock
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:57 PM - VintagePC: communities had nothing to really distinguish themselves
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:58 PM - VintagePC: so nobody from QP ever stuck around
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:58 PM - VintagePC: and everyone but the older crowd started using quickplay
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:59 PM - VintagePC: and the lack of new/fresh players just stagnated communities
Dec 31, 2018 at 8:59 PM - VintagePC: and then followed stuff you can only get on valve servers (missions and whatnot)
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:07 PM - Iceh: I am so sorry to hear that was how it happened
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:09 PM - VintagePC: yep. It sucked. Sadly there is little in the way of community-hosted stuff nowadays, it's all p2p or private
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:10 PM - VintagePC: so we just have a handful of older source games, a custom minecraft modpack, and a few tf2s
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:11 PM - VintagePC: if you still play minecraft you're more than welcome to get whitelisted
Dec 31, 2018 at 9:52 PM - Iceh: Thanks :) I am not currently playing it but I'll keep it in mind
 
Dec 31, 2018 11:23 PM - Iceh: #summonLava
Dec 31, 2018 11:23 PM - Iceh: Did that work?
Jan 1, 2019 9:47 AM - VintagePC: I doubt it, her kids outrank you in summon abilities
Jan 1, 2019 2:54 PM - VintagePC: Still unlikely to happen tonight, stat?
Jan 1, 2019 4:00 PM - Statboy: i'm still working on it
Jan 1, 2019 4:05 PM - Statboy: i think i got it working
Jan 1, 2019 4:12 PM - VintagePC: shit, I still need to level up
Jan 1, 2019 4:13 PM - Statboy: I won't have as much as I'd like ready to go, but I should have a full session, if you fully explore the maps that are ready to go 2night
Jan 1, 2019 4:29 PM - VintagePC: inb4 the PCs make an unintentional beeline right for the unfinished area
Jan 1, 2019 4:32 PM - Statboy: have caution tape announcing this area is still under construction
Jan 1, 2019 4:35 PM - VintagePC: Sorry mario, this castle is being renovated
Jan 1, 2019 5:16 PM - Splyons1993: wait did we level up???
Jan 1, 2019 5:17 PM - Statboy: Yes, LJ said he'd tell you?
Jan 1, 2019 5:18 PM - VaultBot: as usual lol
Jan 1, 2019 5:18 PM - Statboy: We level 12
Jan 1, 2019 5:19 PM - Splyons1993: i did not realize haha
Jan 1, 2019 5:19 PM - Splyons1993: time to panic i guess
Jan 1, 2019 5:19 PM - theLumberJack: Haha I probably did tell him but it's been the whole holiday since
Jan 1, 2019 5:19 PM - Statboy: it'll be fine, we have 70 minutes until we start
Jan 1, 2019 5:26 PM - theLumberJack: Yeah I'm just bc headed home from my cousins so as long as the roads haven't frozen yet I'll be on time
Jan 1, 2019 6:12 PM - VintagePC: remember, ability score boost level
Jan 1, 2019 6:27 PM - VintagePC: omw in
 
Jan 2, 2019 10:24 AM - theLumberJack: i just realized there's a 6th level reincarnate spell that returns the person as the same race
Jan 2, 2019 10:24 AM - theLumberJack: awkward
Jan 2, 2019 7:15 PM - Reechard: I mean
Jan 2, 2019 7:15 PM - VaultBot: so ding!! can somebody holla at splyons?
Jan 2, 2019 7:15 PM - Reechard: we still have his head.
Jan 2, 2019 8:43 PM - VintagePC: creepy
 
Jan 6, 2019 at 9:52 AM - Reechard: I've been digging some SNES and Master System over the past week, dudes.
Jan 6, 2019 at 9:53 AM - Reechard: been playing a translation of Front Mission: Gun Hazard on SNES, which is like... a JRPG side scrolling platformer where you're in a mech...
Jan 6, 2019 at 9:53 AM - Reechard: it's by Square
Jan 6, 2019 at 9:54 AM - Reechard: and is a TOP. NOTCH. game... that they just never bothered to translate for the US market.
Jan 6, 2019 at 9:54 AM - Reechard: what's everybody else been playing
Jan 6, 2019 at 10:12 AM - VintagePC: I played the first episode of orwell over the long weekend
Jan 6, 2019 at 10:30 AM - VaultBot: Nobody has told me anything about "rebel" yet.
Jan 6, 2019 at 10:31 AM - SoL DarkLord: I tried. Hey all. How's it going?
Jan 6, 2019 at 11:14 AM - VintagePC: 'swhat you get for being away so long :p
Jan 6, 2019 at 11:16 AM - Reechard: Sup dude
Jan 6, 2019 at 12:37 PM - TimeCrush: Been playing Graveyard Keeper because its comfy chopping up the dead
Jan 6, 2019 at 1:02 PM - theLumberJack: That looks neat
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:30 PM - Hexalan: hello sol
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:30 PM - VaultBot: lonesome are u talking about that girl that is suing her parents, bend her over your knee, and give her a good thing
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:31 PM - Hexalan: god remember when lonesome got a genericass dudebro tribal tattoo
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:32 PM - VintagePC: wa-hey, it's a right old reunion party!
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:33 PM - Hexalan: is lonesome inviteed to the reunion party?
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:33 PM - VintagePC: :bored
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:34 PM - VaultBot: Nobody has told me anything about "hippie" yet.
Jan 6, 2019 at 8:34 PM - Hexalan: lonesome is a hippie

Jan 7, 2019 2:51 PM - VaultBot: wtf are you looking at that you can't see any more increases
Jan 7, 2019 2:51 PM - Reechard: yeah no kidding.
Jan 7, 2019 3:44 PM - theLumberJack: I want to roll
Jan 7, 2019 3:50 PM - VintagePC: I mean... I'll be there but I would not be horribly offended if someone didn't show
Jan 7, 2019 4:10 PM - theLumberJack: what do you have arriving
Jan 7, 2019 4:11 PM - VintagePC: 3d printer kit
Jan 7, 2019 4:11 PM - theLumberJack: which one?
Jan 7, 2019 4:11 PM - VintagePC: Prusa Mk3
Jan 7, 2019 4:13 PM - theLumberJack: hnng
Jan 7, 2019 4:13 PM - VintagePC: YOU FEEL MY PAIN, DONT YOU
Jan 7, 2019 4:13 PM - theLumberJack: yeah i still can't figure out why mine is under extruding
Jan 7, 2019 4:14 PM - theLumberJack: not that i have something as nice as a prusa though
Jan 7, 2019 4:14 PM - VintagePC: erm
Jan 7, 2019 4:14 PM - VintagePC: I assume you cleaned your extruder gear and calibrated steps per mm?
Jan 7, 2019 4:14 PM - theLumberJack: yes
Jan 7, 2019 4:15 PM - VintagePC: extrusion multiplier?
Jan 7, 2019 4:15 PM - VaultBot: how can i work for the viewer
Jan 7, 2019 4:15 PM - VintagePC: what printer do you have?
Jan 7, 2019 4:16 PM - theLumberJack: its a kossel kit
Jan 7, 2019 4:16 PM - theLumberJack: like its feeding property but the end result looks like there isn't enough plastic
Jan 7, 2019 4:16 PM - theLumberJack: *properly
Jan 7, 2019 4:18 PM - VintagePC: check if it's skipping steps on the extruder, and make sure your temp is high enough and that the hot end can keep up with the rate you're trying to melt plastic at
Jan 7, 2019 4:20 PM - theLumberJack: k
Jan 7, 2019 4:21 PM - theLumberJack: im working from home tomorrow so i'll get some more testing done
Jan 7, 2019 4:24 PM - Reechard: I got a Super SD System 3 for the PC Engine...
Jan 7, 2019 4:24 PM - Reechard: and a SCART cable.
Jan 7, 2019 4:24 PM - Reechard: so I can play all the PC Engine CD games now... in RGB... and there are some VERY good ones.
Jan 7, 2019 4:25 PM - Reechard: http://forceanature.com/Images/VID_20190107_151444.mp4
Jan 7, 2019 4:55 PM - VintagePC: iiiiiiiitsssssss heeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeee
Jan 7, 2019 4:56 PM - VintagePC: but priority one is this delicious looking porkchop I made for dinner
Jan 7, 2019 5:08 PM - theLumberJack: i find this useful vint http://www.pronterface.com/
Jan 7, 2019 5:08 PM - VaultBot: are you looking at that you want to do her hw now
Jan 7, 2019 5:08 PM - VintagePC: It's extra delicious because I paid for $7 of pork but accidentally got $14 worth of organic free-range canadian pork
Jan 7, 2019 5:10 PM - VintagePC: thanks LJ - I think that tool is actually part of the manual somewhere, I remember seeing that screen when flipping through it
Jan 7, 2019 5:12 PM - theLumberJack: nice
Jan 7, 2019 5:12 PM - theLumberJack: it was definitely something that was not referenced in my kossel manual
Jan 7, 2019 5:13 PM - VintagePC: It's why I went with the prusa
Jan 7, 2019 5:14 PM - VintagePC: doesn't break the bank, fantastic support/docs and tinkering is optional, not mandatory
Jan 7, 2019 5:14 PM - VintagePC: don't get me wrong
Jan 7, 2019 5:14 PM - VintagePC: I plan to tinker and upgrade a few things
Jan 7, 2019 5:14 PM - VintagePC: but I don't feel like spending 30 minutes or more dicking around first when I just want to print my damn thing
Jan 7, 2019 5:15 PM - theLumberJack: yeah i got mine for like 1/4 the price of a prusa
Jan 7, 2019 5:16 PM - theLumberJack: so i was expecting dicking around to get it working
Jan 7, 2019 5:17 PM - theLumberJack: i haven't had a chance to play with it recently but im running another test with a higher temp
Jan 7, 2019 5:18 PM - VaultBot: see stats earlier link arron
Jan 7, 2019 5:18 PM - VintagePC: mhm, that's fair
Jan 7, 2019 5:18 PM - VintagePC: though the thing that steered me away from the cheaper printers was the constant having to dick with it
Jan 7, 2019 5:19 PM - VintagePC: right. Porkchop consumed
Jan 7, 2019 5:19 PM - VaultBot: therefor i win and intimidate you
Jan 7, 2019 5:19 PM - VintagePC shoves everything off the table comically
Jan 7, 2019 5:19 PM - theLumberJack: its almost burrito time
Jan 7, 2019 5:20 PM - VintagePC: I have an hour and 10 minutes
Jan 7, 2019 5:20 PM - VintagePC: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
Jan 7, 2019 5:20 PM - theLumberJack: good luck ;)\
Jan 7, 2019 5:21 PM - VintagePC: ... not really, I'mma build this right
Jan 7, 2019 5:22 PM - theLumberJack: i have no doubt
Jan 7, 2019 5:48 PM - theLumberJack: Turning up the temp made a big difference
Jan 7, 2019 6:24 PM - theLumberJack: Just letting dogs out then on
Jan 7, 2019 6:28 PM - Statboy: im coming, just got caught up in a long poo
Jan 7, 2019 6:28 PM - theLumberJack: :poop
Jan 7, 2019 6:30 PM - VintagePC: omw

Jan 7, 2019 8:46 PM - theLumberJack: :stir:
Jan 7, 2019 8:48 PM - Reechard: :stir:

Jan 9, 2019 2:18 PM - Reechard: I'm super careful with my job because I know I have the golden goose.

Jan 9, 2019 7:48 PM - theLumberJack: mine is not quiet
Jan 9, 2019 7:48 PM - theLumberJack: but i saw someone who printed feet for it that made it sit on tennis balls and that apparently helps
Jan 9, 2019 7:48 PM - theLumberJack: so i will have to get some tennis balls
Jan 9, 2019 9:02 PM - VintagePC: What's the worst part about being a snow man? Snowballs.
 
Jan 10, 2019 6:35 AM - VaultBot: boss in blands2 was difficult
Jan 10, 2019 6:35 AM - Reechard: that joke doesn't translate to text as well :(

Jan 11, 2019 2:29 PM - VintagePC: Sounds about right
Jan 11, 2019 5:32 PM - SoL DarkLord: Pretty accurate. I'm currently prepping to run a game for my friends IRL. they need to learn the basics though.
Jan 11, 2019 5:35 PM - Statboy: I tried to start a few campaigns with random's from roll20 in order to help grow VaultF4, but they never lasted more than 4 sessions
Jan 11, 2019 6:09 PM - SoL DarkLord: I still play with the other group that I was playing with 2 years ago, still doing that same campaign too.
Jan 11, 2019 6:10 PM - SoL DarkLord: granted it's on a hiatus as our GM's computer got stolen.
Jan 11, 2019 6:40 PM - VaultBot: ordering a new gaming mouse. mainly going to assume that the parents will pay part of my education
Jan 11, 2019 6:40 PM - theLumberJack: my longest running group stopped playing because one of them had an abusive girlfriend that seduced another one of them and they got into a fight
Jan 11, 2019 6:40 PM - theLumberJack: people suck
Jan 11, 2019 6:44 PM - TimeCrush: Damn LJ that one sounds juicy
Jan 11, 2019 6:45 PM - TimeCrush: Thats like some WoW guild girl infiltration shit.
Jan 11, 2019 6:48 PM - Statboy: yah like, he needs to get him a lazy girl that doesn't want to work to get another man once she's got you
Jan 11, 2019 7:01 PM - SoL DarkLord: Damn that drama
Jan 11, 2019 7:39 PM - TimeCrush: After the 7 year relationship, any one that I go into now I find myself maybe being too blunt about what I want in a relationship.
Jan 11, 2019 7:39 PM - TimeCrush: "Ohhh, nah this isn't gonna work."
Jan 11, 2019 7:43 PM - theLumberJack: I could imagine that
 
Jan 12, 2019 9:54 AM - TimeCrush: Holy shit keep your hands washed fellas - horrible sick going around, I'm down and out and pissin' brown.
Jan 12, 2019 11:01 AM - VintagePC: best drink a fuckton of water when that happens
Jan 12, 2019 6:53 PM - Reechard: hey any of you geeks that want to go to GenCon this year...
Jan 12, 2019 6:53 PM - Reechard: http://www.gencon.com
Jan 12, 2019 6:54 PM - Reechard: I'll have an acceptable crash spot for you by the time this rolls around.
Jan 12, 2019 6:56 PM - Reechard: having 3-4 people wander around at once is kinda nice because you can just plop down and demo nearly anything
