Blender. I feel pretty confident in saying that there is simply nothing like it in the commercial world. Its feature set is unreal; its like the swiss army knife of 3D modelling programs. I can't say enough good things about Blender. It has replaced so many secondary programs in my workflow and is slowly dominating to become my entire workflow.

It used to suck to use in the late 2010s and then work was done to overhaul its space-shuttle cockpit interface, and now it actually feels concise and usable. I freaking love blender now. Big time blender fanboy right here.

I dont get the hysteria, personally.

I came here to escape the crowds, not migrate with them.

GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.

I've used it as my primary raster app so I'm way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.

As a seethingly jealous ender 3 peasant who is still spending most of his time keeping my printer working with kludges and duct tape; it's nice to know Bambu owners are human after all and still run into problems.

Hope you get it sorted and are back printing soon! 🖖

Its hard not to be smug as a lowly ender 3 peasant to have everything I was worried about Bambu doing slowly coming true.

I mean... I wish my printer worked as well as all my Bambu friends, but this helps a little... this helps...

You know that's a true story? Lady lost a kid. You're about to cross some fuckin' lines.

This skit always summed it up for me.

I appreciate that he managed to make both Star Trek and Star Wars fans very angry. That took serious skill.

You can take my steamtroller when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Fucking love that thing. Not just for gaming either, couch computing is all possible via the steamtroller. LOVE IT.

Thats a backrooms I'd almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.

Money.

the keyboard is definitely "fine" to type on, its just a blackberry keyboard. The driver for the keyboard is also in development so theres not much support for using the trackbutton as a mouse. The display is difficult for practical use, its a monochromatic screen, there is no backlit, and the pixel density isn't amazing so you can't see full lines of code, lots of wrapping. It's better than having NO display in the field though. I actually really like it, its quirky, but with some struggle it is very usable.

When they made it a major part of nemesis I was so annoyed.

Old Macs and Trek, two of my favourite things.

Here is Denise Okuda in front of her Quadra 700. She used it to make all the wonderful LCARS and other alien UI panels on DS9. This was her taking a break while working on the DS9 pilot in 1993.

Wow, thats some wild hyperbole there.

I loved how Lower Decks brought commemorative plates into the canon.

Ensign Sonya Gomez over here thanking the replicator

TNG "Q Who?"

SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.

LAFORGE: We don't ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.

SONYA: Well, since it's listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.

I mean when viewed from the perspective of his world it makes sense.

He lives in a world where substance is meaningless and all that matters is appearance and bravado. I can appreciate why to him that seems like good advice. Just kinda bums me out people live like that, but I bet he's happy having power and influence and money. Good for him.

I couldn't and wouldn't fuckin live that way and I will stick with my Casio a158, thanks.

That reminds me I need to buy some land in bozeman montana.

Whatever. Treknobabble is great, you're all just command division slouches who dont know anything about EPS grids.
