Agreed. The same way I disliked how whiny Anakin was but it made sense in context that Vader was this emotionally stunted kid with a traumatic childhood he couldn't get over.

It's still great. No problems so far. I have fewer issues with it at home than I do with some of the Prusas I use at work.

A review for a story I wrote involved the reader assuming I was making references to popular media that I didn't intend at all and some were inspired by something else entirely.

I think this type of interpretation often indicates the state of mind of the audience member rather than the artist. It's perfectly fine, but it might be more accurate to say, "when I see the artist's blue curtains, it makes me think of..."

First, it's important to know what material you're cutting because you don't want to release any harmful gases or dust.

You usually want the focus to reflect an accurate distance for the height of the material you're cutting. You can test minor adjustments if you have sample material to get the best results at the same heigh before cutting the final material.

Random thoughts:

Cheat, in the worst kind of way—Full god mode, BFG with unlimited ammo, etc. That can ruin a game pretty easily when there's no challenge and the story might not be new or interesting. Might lead to boredom and wanting to do something else.

Play games you don't like much and can only stand to play in small increments.

Play casual, relaxing games like Dorfromantik that you can quit playing easily after a round or two.

Get into game design. Make your own game so you're creating something that you can share with others. It's still related to your gaming interests, but could be more productive.

Make friends with someone or a group of people who have a different hobby in common so you have a reason to socialize that doesn't drag you back to playing games.

Make a bucket list and start pursuing one of the items on the list like writing a novel or painting a landscape or building something practical.

Set time limits for your gaming and force yourself to do something else that doesn't allow for gaming, even something simple like taking a walk without a gaming device. Make gaming a reward for being responsible rather than an addictive obligation. Focus on learning to appreciate delayed gratification.

I had a point by point response, but I don't think perpetuating this discussion is productive, so I'll just leave you with the friendly advice that adopting a judgmental, nearly religious fundamentalist, and authoritarian approach to FOSS feels like it violates the spirit of FOSS itself and will likely be off-putting to even other FOSS enthusiasts, much less anyone you want to convince.

Okay. Thanks. I'm already subscribed there. It's sadly not as active as I'd like.

I'm not finding a cyberpunk community at dbzer0.

I'm subscribed to the goblincore community on blahaj.zone, but it's only got two posts that I can see.

What's the typeface on the keycaps?

Yeah, it can be useful to run a large 1st layer print (usually a test print) and live adjust the z axis as it's pouring the icing to get the best lines.
