Cosplay- I am a big movie nerd, and love movie props, scifi and fantasy armor and weapons specifically, and making them is so cool to me. Beyond that I do community events (kids hospital visits, parades, star wars nights at sporting events, museums, etc) and interacting with kids who genuinely believe I’m the character I’m portraying is loads of fun, and seeing their smiles is a fantastic feeling.

Tabletop games- for war games I’m actually more into the painting aspect, it’s so relaxing and cathartic, to put on an audio book or podcast and just paint for an hour or two is a huge stress relief, and now that I’ve gotten into DnD, the creative aspect. DMing is loads of fun as well. I keep a small notebook on me at all times now to jot down ideas I have throughout the day, even if I don’t use them, it’s still nice to get the ideas out and have them available for later.

I’ve gotten into 3d printing as a result of the other two hobbies, and it isn’t particularly fun, but is an incredible tool, and so I would consider it fun because of the output. I can start with an idea, and for a few dollars and hours I can have a new prop or mini without having to put on pants or leave the house. It’s the coolest thing.

I played games before, but my first obsession was Pokemon Blue, Diablo and 2 got me stuck into RPGs, and Halo CE got me into shooters.

Chilling with hobbits sounds pretty cool.

Eat lots of good, local food, drink loads of beer, smoke tons of weed out of sweet ass churchwarden pipes.

A decent flashlight.

A streamlight stylus pro is $20, uses 2 AAA batteries, is barely bigger than a pen, and can be an absolute life saver. It produces way more light and throws it way further than your phone’s light, and I’ve been carrying the same one every day for nearly 15 years now with no signs of it failing. I use it nearly daily in my personal and professional life, you will genuinely wonder how you manages without it if you make it a habit of carrying it.

Or go nuts and get yourself a something like a surefire G2. Bigger, heavier, but more durable and incredibly bright.

Using it to determine if you get pregnant and then suddenly aren’t. So they can charge you for getting an abortion.

Tech background, but never worked with it.

I’m a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.

I’m in the middle of the Wax and Wayne series by Brandon Sanderson, just finished Shadows of Self.

Sanderson’s books are a really fun read, highly recommend them to anyone interested in fantasy.

Remember lemmy is in it’s infancy still compared to reddit. I imagine as lemmy grows certain communities will end up being the more populated ones, and they will kind of become the default. The downside is that that will take time, the upside is there is always an alternative if something goes wrong.

That’s where I was able to find him.

Highly recommend it!

This is exactly as the model came, I’m still playing with settings, but I’m super happy with the way this killy little dude turned out.

I’ve seen some fantastic minis come of of FDM printers once you dial in the settings, I’m just not that good.

Tokens are a great idea!

Thanks! The model and printer are both really good. Can’t recommend the D2 enough to anyone considering it

Currently printing on an anycubic photon D2 ultra, have a prusa XL on order for my FDM machine. Last FDM was a monoprice maker select + that was a workhorse for years before I gave it to a friend when I moved in may.

Daddy is a state of mind. Look at Pedro Pascal, he’s your daddy.
