Helldivers is Sony IP, not Arrowhead IP, so no, Arrowhead can’t just release another game in the series without Sony’s involvement.

Sweet liberty, my ass!

Just… get better at placement…?

Yeah, I really do not envy OP her Christianity; I’m so glad I was mostly over that phase of my life by the time I started examining my gender and realizing I wasn’t just depressed, but dysphoric.

EDIT: To clarify, absolutely not saying Christianity (or any religion) is “just a phase” for everyone. Just that it certainly was for me, and I’m happy to be past it and to have partially dealt with the trauma from it.

not me running eruptor/stalwart like the stalwart was my primary and the eruptor was my support weapon.

I actually gave up on the order halfway through, ngl. I hate the stalwart so much on higher levels.

I dunno on that one, I think it’s likely we’d been slowly liberating/defending a handful of planets for the first half of the order’s time allotment, and finally pushed them over the line in the latter half.

FYI: this is not true of PPTV (peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty), which seems to be one of the better vaginoplasty techniques currently, as it’s less finicky than the type of vaginoplasty that uses penis skin.

Old Navy’s tall line is really good for the prices! All my jeans and a few of my shirts are from them, though I haven’t bought anything longsleeve from them yet.

I’ve had mixed luck with Long Tall Sally – their sizing is really inconsistent, and returns are rough since they’re not US-based. But the couple of items I’ve bought that have fit well have been nice!

I’ve never seen stuff my size in-store, but online they have one of the more inclusive tall size ranges I’ve seen (a lot of brands assume that if you’re tall you’re super skinny, while Old Navy’s tall line goes up to size 20).

Big recommend to just jump straight to OrcaSlicer. It has Bambu Studio’s much-improved-over-PrusaSlicer UI but with features ported in from PrusaSlicer and SuperSlicer and compatibility with non-Bambu printers.

man who had sex with a minor

The terms “pedophile” and “rapist” exist, why use such soft terms to describe such an awful human?

lapis, 3 months ago

Are you saying that AR’s consent laws are fucked or that sex with a minor is A-okay if it’s legal where somebody lives?

As somebody transfeminine and nonbinary, this really spoke to me. I think part of why it took me so long to figure out I’m trans is that I don’t want to be super femme 90%+ of the time, I just want to throw on jeans and a tee and not be read as male. Like I’m nonbinary, but I want to present as a tomboy or as close to nonbinary on a female base form as I can get, if that makes sense?

Anyways the article was excellent and I’m glad I read it.

It certainly is in some ways; can’t get through a given week without questioning whether maybe I’m just cis and want to be unique or a binary trans woman in denial. But on the other hand, I do have my feeling of simply not fitting into the gender binary to fall back on, which is there even when gender dysphoria and euphoria are not.

This is fantastic. Is the file hosted anywhere?

This is definitely not true of OrcaSlicer, at least not anymore. I’m running an 0.6mm nozzle and 120% layer width at 0.2mm layer height results in 0.72mm line width, not 0.24mm.

Plus it’s an affordable giant plushie, so it’s great for people who want something big and soft to cuddle, like say trans people on new hormones going through big emotions.

Another OrcaSlicer user here. Started off with PrusaSlicer and switched over at a friend’s recommendation, and honestly am so glad I did (it has a much nicer UI and some really neat features ported over from SuperSlicer).

These look great! Can we get a link to the design, please?

EDIT: nvm, found it!

When I ask about my gender on StackExchange, people tell me to just use Arch, but I don’t think I’m fully a trans woman?

In my experience, Better Help doesn’t provide a worthwhile service. They charge around $300/mo and will postpone and cancel your appointments so you end up getting in one, maybe two, appointments in a month, but with the added stress of needing to work your schedule around their shitty time management. My partner tried them out for a couple months out of desperation at the lack of local therapists who take our insurance and it was a net negative for her.

Thanks for showing us this! I printed one with “fuzzy skin” and it is so cool (unfortunately doesn’t show up well in photos though).

lapis, 6 months ago

Thanks, and good luck! In Orca, I set it to all walls fuzzy, 0.5mm between points, and 0.2mm depth, and I like the results.

Yes, adaptive cubic varies the density of the cubic structure to decrease filament usage while supposedly maintaining the same strength as normal cubic. And, in my own experience, gyroid always takes longer to print than adaptive cubic – sometimes it only adds a few minutes, but I’ve seen it add nearly half of the print time again for infill-heavy prints.

SV06 Plus, SV07, and SV07 Plus all use the same nozzles. However, I think standard volcano nozzles would also work – I just haven’t bothered to try since I bought a five-pack of the proprietary nozzles off AliExpress and they work perfectly fine.
