Can’t focus on anything but highly adaptable to every scenario. Ha!

Reminds me of this… which is so perfectly animated with the constant shift in focus.

Please help us. Our village suffers raids every night.

Uh huh. But first, how many people live here?

[jots down notes]

And how many are attacking you?

[jots down more notes]

DM: So… boost to perception for the entire party?

And because the wire gauge is less than the wiring in the wall the breaker won’t trip before it reaches the point where it’s overloaded either.

Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.

Find a pair of gloves you love and use Conductive thread sewn in an x pattern a few times. Works great.

And to add to the conversation(if there’s anything incorrect please let me know) from videos I’ve seen by MentourPilot, Captain Joe and online sources

The process will most likely look like the following (assuming an emergency descent is needed because the cabin can’t be pressurized like with the window vs some smaller hole air leak):

• They will put on their own o2 masks (it’s critical to do this as you can lose consciousness in under a minute)

• They will set the transponder to a code that denotes the emergency to both ATC and nearby traffic

• They will radio the distress both for ATC but also nearby planes to give them a heads up that they’ll be rapidly descending. If it’s in a high traffic area they may wait for approval to begin descent (and you can be sure ATC is going to be moving planes out of the way.). If it’s taking too long they will begin descending anyway.

• They’ll announce to the cabin that they’re doing an emergency descent

• They will start a rapid descent to 10,000 ft (if terrain allows it, otherwise down to whatever they can safely get to). This is because the emergency o2 is limited to about 15 minutes.

Some interesting things I learned about this.

They will often use autopilot for the descent and level flight. This is because of limited visibility and a risk of possible issues caused by low o2.

They turn on all lights to make sure they’re as visible as possible to other traffic.

This descent will be really unpleasant. Not a gentle descent but the safest one (especially if they’re unsure if there’s any structural issues) they can do. Which will be quite a bit steeper than anybody is used to.

So passengers on the plane will experience this as:

• Loud rushing noise. Possible moisture filling the cabin now that you have outside cold air mixing with warm air and surfaces inside

• Masks dropping and seatbelt signs

• Shortly after the Captain saying “Emergency descent” 3 or so times

• Flight screw scrambling to seats and putting on masks

• The sound of the wings adjusting for speed brakes, shuddering from the flight profile change,

• The sounds of the engines being revved up to the planes maximum speed as the nose of the plane tipping down. It will feel like it’s faster than it really is with the shift in gravity followed by being pressed back due to the increase in speed during descent.

• The plane shifting as they turn away from the main traffic area as they descend (unless told otherwise by ATC, etc)

Not a fun experience I’m sure

Exactly. Small (very small) adjustments.

Doesn’t Bambu Studio have some tuning menus? It may cover this.

I don’t have a Bambu but what they also need to look at is retraction settings after purging the extra filament.

Seems like it needs to retract a little more to lower the “pressure” of the melted filament in the nozzle.

Best analogy is that this is like a giant glue gun. Squeeze really hard and fast and the glue isn’t going to stop when you let up in the trigger. Except, with a printer, you can have the extruder “retract” a little which does introduce a vacuum effect and slow/stop the oozing.

Note: make small adjustments with a direct drive (which most of these printers are using these days) so you don’t pull molten plastic into the heatbreak and have to deal with clogs. However, if it’s oozing out you’re probably not even close to that being an issue.

I use Klipper and OrcaSlicer but when I get a new type of Filament (ABS, PLA, TPU) I tune it including retractions. This way it does cleaner lines and is less likely to leave blogs, stringing. And tuning filament retractions here (or something specific to purges) should fix the issue.

If you like Sazed there’s some interesting twists coming for him.

For Vin you come to realize she’s less of a hero and more a pawn in various groups using her winning the genetic lottery.

Now… if you like characters that struggle with trauma. Way of Kings has a very troubled protagonist.

But yeah. As for sci-fi (especially ones that can span years) you might like Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space series.

Any good sci-fi suggestions?

ba-da-ba-ba-bug. I’m loving it.

Part of what makes Klein’s Don’t Starve game so quirky and fun is the rampant use of creatures that are portmanteau’s of other creatures.

Personally I loved it but if you’ve finished 2 of them and it’s not resonating with you I won’t push you to read something you’re not enjoying.

I will say that I listened to them and maybe an audiobook will be more enjoyable.

But if you want to try something else in the Cosmere with a different flavor you could try one of these and not have any huge spoilers to the overall story (kind of like watching Ant-man or Black panther in the cinematic universe before any of the other films.)

Tress of the Emerald Sea (more adventure/fantasy, less magical heist and the consequences of that)

Warbreaker (more of a mystery/intrigue)

Yumi and the Nightmare painter (not sure how to describe it but people from 2 different worlds experiencing the other and learning to work with and support the others challenges, etc). This way you can see if it might just be the Mistborn era 1 books or maybe he’s not your cup of tea. I will say that Era 2 is (like I mentioned) very different in tone, etc. same world but centuries later.

If you don’t mind me asking what kind, if any, of fantasy books do you like?

You can even buy old coins. Novel pieces of history to have if that you’re thing.

The Cosmere

Different worlds with hard-ish magic systems that are different. Yet each is a manifestation of the same underlying forces/rules across the Cosmere.

Whether it’s Stormlight, Ferruchemy, Metallurgy, etc. they’re all aspects of investiture.

Which means you get unique stories and challenges in the worlds but you also get the occasional cross of characters with one set of magic in another world of the Cosmere that has another.

And my personal favorite in the Cosmere is the Wax and Wayne series of Mistborn (books 3-7) where you have metal based magic in a Wild West like setting. So people who can manipulate metal using bullets from pistols in unique ways. Imagine all those fantasy novels with wizards… but centuries later as technology advances to the age of steam engine and firearms.

An excerpt from one of those books

Smoke curled in the air over the bandit boss’s pistol.

“Oh . . .” Wayne said softly. “You just made a bad mistake, mate. A very bad mistake.”

The boss turned away from the body, holstering his gun. “Fine,” he yelled, walking toward the door. “You can have some fun, boys. Burn it out of your blood quickly and meet me outside. Let’s—”

Everything froze. People stopped in place. The curling smoke hung motionless. Voices quieted. Whimpering halted. In a circle around Waxillium’s table, the air rippled just faintly.

Wayne stood up, shouldering his dueling canes, inspecting the room. He was placing each and every one of the bandits, Waxillium knew. Judging distances, preparing himself.

“As soon as I drop the bubble,” Wayne said, “this place is going to erupt like an ammunition store in a volcano.”

Waxillium calmly reached into his jacket and slid a hidden pistol from beneath his arm. He set it on the table. His twitch had vanished.

“Well?” Wayne asked.

“That’s a terrible metaphor. How would an ammunition store get into a volcano?”

“I don’t know. Look, are you going to fight or not?”

“I’ve tried waiting,” Waxillium said. “I gave them a chance to leave. I tried giving this up.”

“You gave it a good show, Wax.” He grimaced. “Too good a show.”

Waxillium rested his hand on the pistol. Then he picked it up. “So be it.” With his other hand, he poured out his entire pouch of steel into his wine cup, then downed it.

Wayne grinned. “You owe me a pint for lying to me, by the way.”

“Lying?”

“You said you hadn’t brought a gun.”

“I didn’t bring a gun,” Waxillium said, reaching to the small of his back and sliding a second pistol out. “You know me better than that, Wayne. I never go anywhere with only one. How much bendalloy do you have?”

“Not as much as I’d like. The stuff’s damn expensive here in town. I’ve got maybe enough for five minutes’ extra time. My metalminds are pretty much full, though. Spent a good two weeks sick in bed after you left.” That would give Wayne some healing power, should he get shot.

Waxillium took a deep breath; the coldness inside him melted away and became a flame as he burned steel that pinpointed each and every source of metal in the room.

For anybody interested in starting with a book that is in the Cosmere “Mistborn: The Final Empire” is a great starting point.

You’re basically dropped into a huge set of mysteries.

You get to explore, at your leisure, anything you want.

There’s places and dialog and written records that contain clues and references to different threads of those interconnected mysteries.

As you play, read, explore you uncover more and more and what happened, is happening, and will happen start to make sense and you build a picture in your mind of what’s going on.

There’s no unlocks or progress except for these moments of discovery. And as you learn and discover more you can get access to new places to dig into the mystery because you have acquired the knowledge that lets you do it.

I got the game because of a video review that struck me with how little it gave away. Because it bent over backwards to avoid spoiling it.

I played it for 5 minutes and thought, standard tutorial level design and the models could use some work.

10 minutes after that I was on my way with a code and just headed to explore. A few minutes later something crazy happened, and I was struck thinking “what just happened”

A few hours later I was pulling on a thread of exploration when I saw some celestial event that reminded me about another thread of another mystery and made me go “ohhhh, so I need to go here and check this out at a certain point in the orbit”

One crazy weekend was over and I had felt wonder, sadness, frustration, melancholy and hope in such amazingly timed waves of intrigue and discovery that I wish I could do it again.

It may not be to everyone’s taste and I get looking at the initial style and thinking there’s cut corners but there aren’t.

I will spoil one technical detail. The entire solar system is emulated in real time. Things and events are inter connected in ways that I’m personally shocked they ever got the game to run on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a technical masterpiece even if it doesn’t look it at first glance.

I saw the question, came to post this only to see yours.

It truly is a unique experience. I jokingly say to my family that if I ever have some kind of temporary amnesia prompt me to play that.

I also occasionally watch let’s plays of streamers to vicariously experience some of those moments of realization as the story unfolds.

Seriously play it if you haven’t and avoid streams, videos, etc like the plague. The game progression is 100% knowledge based. So spoilers really do take away part of the experience.

Yet…

This sounds like something Alec of Technology Connection would ask.

Hmmm…

No, but good guess
