  • 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.











  • Would you rather be stocking shelves or cleaning mystery goo that a customer smeared on your workspace? Are the people working at Walmart other human beings with feelings or objects to be punished in a war against corporations?

    With what degree of certainty would you be able to say that the mystery goo you’re cleaning off of your counter has not been spit in or mixed with something really nasty by said vindictive and out of touch customer?
