Yeah, that is a pattern I've seen. I grew up having to troubleshoot stuff offline just to get a modem on PC to work on dialup to get to a BBS or CompuServe or editing mods for computer games, whereas my Mac friends were mostly playing with artistic programs on Mac. I also used artistic software on PC but that too required more skill. I don't recall seeing them deal with a command line interface whereas most of my earliest games ran in DOS.

I'd actually recommend the opposite. Unless you're a DIY hobbyist who loves taking everything apart and you don't want to print immediately upon receiving it, it's worth it to buy the prebuilt Prusa. There are so many many steps in assembling a MK4S that there are that many steps to get something wrong. Better pay a few hundred extra to get one that has been assembled by a more experienced person. And I say that as a makerspace coordinator who works with a lot of 3D printers.

Assembly teaches you how incredibly complicated the assembly is. I've adjusted pre-assembled printers with minor inconvenience. But the first one you put together can take more than the estimated 6-8 hours.

The beak is larger and curved, so more like a raven's beak than a crow.

Could I cut up my wish into just wiping parts of a few songs? Like the march tune from Tears of a Clown, the electronic watch alarm in Rock the Casbah, and the chopsticks part of Blinded by the Light.

I've been using black ink Pilot Rolling Ball Precise v5 extra fine pens for about 25 years, back to when the body was gray instead of black. They write well, can have a nice crisp scratching sound when used on the right paper, the body is a good weight, easy to spin in your fingers when you're bored in a meeting, the cold feel of the metal clip is nice for some reason.

Taking someone's lead sounds like a British saying indicating the opposite of following someone's lead. It sounds like you're taking someone's leash in your hands and directing them where to go.

Tech is a tool. Powerful tech in the hands of unethical people will be used unethically. Tech doesn't magically do the "right thing" as if it has any volition.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue. I see a projectile and resulting explosion.

Are you in a new game since 2.01 or is this an older save game that predates the updates?

This isn't the cyberpunk dystopia you're looking for.

Yeah, it can be controversial. Best not to plant it near a foundation. There are few in a mostly empty field near where I live and another few in a park where the trees are spread out.

It worked for Charles Bukowski...

Expectations really affect your opinion on games. There were people who were hyped for NMS for years in advance. People who came to it with low expectations or later in the development cycle seem much less disappointed.
