jonesy,

That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

Are filament vacuum bags worthwhile?

I finally got a filament drying box and I’m using it prior to and during prints. It seems to be helping. I’m a bit of a color queen, so I keep a pretty big backlog of different filaments. I’ve been storing them in vacuum bags but the vacuum bags often seem to lose some of their vacuum after a few months; the whole process...

jonesy,

The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.

That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.

Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven’t had any issues storing filament long term.

jonesy,

I would say I’m curious rather than excited, I’m not getting my hopes up yet but I’ll definitely give it a chance.

jonesy,

I enjoyed it overall, but I feel like the >!Steel Brotherhood storyline!< was probably the weakest part. Walton Goggins was excellent though, and feel like he definitely nailed it.

jonesy,

That’s a good one too, none of the typical over-excitable YouTuber talking or abrupt cuts to talk about sponsors, just Ari rebuilding the ct90.

jonesy,

I don’t think Orks are that worried about grammar…

Welcome to Willits (2016) (aussie.zone)

Deep in the Northern California woods, in the heart of the notorious Emerald Triangle, lies a remote cabin. The residents struggle to fight off the repeated attacks and abductions by mysterious creatures that have plagued them for years. When a local pot farmer is caught up with a wayward group of campers the situation quickly...

jonesy,

I’m sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I’m comparing performance of hardware I’m already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don’t bother to check their site.

I haven’t visited their site in a long time though, so I’m not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.

Not going to lie, I chose to watch this based solely on the poster. Not surprised to see David Carradine, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sherilyn Fenn a few years before her time on Twin Peaks. The movie is kind of goofy, and it definitely has its flaws but I don’t regret watching it.

Kind of clumsily touches on elements refined in future movies like Gattaca, Minority Report and others, but it’s still fun world building. My favourite tidbit is that in this world it’s normal for cops to conduct dick inspections. What a future.

jonesy,

S-tier B movie, lots of fun with friends.

jonesy,

This movie was something special, the first 10 minutes or so are completely bonkers, and set the tone for the rest of the movie. Things are silly and played for laughs at every opportunity, however some highlights are multiple sex scenes that drag on to the point of incredulity in the same way as Family Guy often did with some of it’s convey sequences, and just got funnier the more over the top it became.

The Terminator from wish was also incredible value, from the terrible attempt at an Austrian accent to his interactions with the head mistress.

Overall we loved this movie a lot and I can definitely see it making a future appearance at a bad movie night with more of my friends

jonesy,

Fun effects, very 90’s style, really interesting soundtrack. Overall a pretty decent movie, seems to be heavily inspired by The Thing (1982) with some of the practical effects. It’s the duck’s guts 👍.

jonesy,

That sounds great, I’ll have to watch it.

www.justwatch.com/us/movie/dead-end-drive-inJust choose your country and this should show streaming services which have the movie available. Here in Australia it’s on AMC+, while USA has a couple of options.

jonesy,

Watched this in the evening with my friend, and it was an interesting take on a monster movie, having not seen many evil djinn in film myself. Loved the practical effects of the djinn at the end too.
