The most satisfying thing about 3D printing: breaking off all of the scaffolding like it’s a freshly-bought model from a hobby shop.

@Dex They seem to be buried further in. I found Richter along a later portion of the map.

I’ve been running Link for the entire campaign so far with Move Speed Up/Made of Metal and a skill build into double final smash, and I’ve only needed to swap him out for a few mechanics like Strong Wind. There’s an advanced spirit that also gives 50% damage or stamina recovery when low, and that all breaks the game pretty hard.

Thankfully, harder boss fights cheat more.

@zetasyanthis Two cutes! 💜

@JulieSqveakaroo *hugs gently*

@troodon As I understand it from folks I followed over there, Tumblr’s community replicated the fora- and USENET-era community issues we older folks remember from earlier otherkin communities. Some of that is because it’s a younger community, some of it is because of specific circles of people, and there are quite a few good folks coming in too that could use a healthier community.

I think it’ll help if instance admins help us sift trolls out, too, and I encourage them to do so.

@Zedex@snouts.online Yep! It takes some getting used to vs birdsite, but given it works just like an email address, it quickly becomes second nature.

@Zedex@snouts.online (Following them _or_ including the host string to chat with them, pardon.)

@Zedex@snouts.online But yeah, you should be able to talk to folks on other instances by following them from yours, and including the host of their instance in the string. Like I am “@ Goldkin @ awoo.space”, and I see you on my end as “@ Zedex @ snouts.online”, without the spaces.

@Zedex@snouts.online This also means in the case of direct messages across instances, you’re sending the data to another server, so be aware of that if you use them.

I guess it’s a similar arrangement to USENET, if you ever had the chance to use that way, way, way back in the day.

@Zedex@snouts.online Instances are “federated”, meaning each site communicates with other sites in the network that it trusts. In the case of Snouts (from what I’ve read; I’m over on Awoo), many of the furry-adjacent instances are already trusted.

When you follow someone on another instance, you basically get a copy of what they’re posting from there. And when you reply, the same thing works in the other direction.

Explaining this to future generations is going to be weird:

Despite the weh I've been placing here while I figure stuff out, I've been making 3D art again and playing lots of the dwarf game (https://store.steampowered.com/app/548430/Deep_Rock_Galactic/) lately. The latter has been really good for me, since it's basically a huge 3D puzzle to play around with. Wheee!

I should possibly talk about things like that more here? I'm kind of prone to nerding about 3D modeling and puzzle games when the sky isn't falling, and I kind of miss doing that.

@frameacloud Definitely Professor Layton and Picross/Picross 3D.

@frameacloud No prob!

@frameacloud It might be worth calling up local GameStops for. They’re usually able to find older Pokemon games that have been traded in, though they’ll typically have them at $30-50.
