Honestly same. I just beat Hollow Knight earlier this year (so, I have a pretty recent comparison) and the basic enemies are so much harder. The few boss fights I've done seem comparable, but any more than 3 enemies at a time means I have to lock in or die.

Cute! This is my Cleo.

Also, the most common 3D printing filament is made of the bioplastic polylactic acid, which is typically derived from corn. Whether that is strictly "better" from an environmental perspective is a fair question.

Looks like on low settings with FDR and GE Proton people are hitting relatively solid 30 fps. Better performance than I'd expect, but not quite what I'd want for such an action oriented game.

I love so many video game soundtracks, so I'll try to just list a few:

  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
  • Monster Hunter: Tri (wonderful balance of stirring and cozy)
  • Bloodborne (really almost all of FromSoft's soundtracks, but especially this one)

I also really like Hollow Knight and Hades soundtracks, and of course DOOM (2016) has already been mentioned.

And no licensed repair places near me have batteries in stock

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2 has physical switches that change its triggers from analog to digital. Probably still too much to expect Nintendo to implement, but having the choice is nice.

And no discount for the DLC or complete edition

As much as I dislike Hobby Lobby as a company, I can't pass up on these sales. That Hi-nu Gundam is $15 below retail when you count the 40% off.

After putting 12 hours into the Shin Megami Tensei V demo, I think I'll be buying it. Haha. I've also been playing Sekiro, which is much better at 45 fps than I figured it would be.

 

In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.

Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.

 

Edit 2: I purchased the Bambu A1 mini. If I regret it, there will be more chances in later years. Haha. Maybe by then I can work with resin and make the really fun minis. Thank everyone who responded for your advice and help.

Edit: I am leaning against resin printing due to the lack of sufficient ventilation in my current work space and the potential for injuring my cats. I also do not plan to do exclusively miniatures; they were just the thing I was most excited for when making this post.

 

I looked around for a pinned thread or purchase wiki type thing, but didn't see one. I apologize if this is the wrong place.

After visiting a family member, I have decided that 3D printing has finally gotten affordable enough for me to maybe add to my list of hobbies. My primary use cases would be making miniatures (no particular scale necessary, as I just like to paint them at the moment), making parts for other hobbies (including cross stitch), and just generally making gifts and fun knick nacks. My budget is no more than $250 for the machine itself. I have not-insignificant computer experience, and some training in CAD programs.

Several seem to be on sale in the US for Father's Day (today), and I was wondering if anybody had some advice or suggestions on some specific ones.

  • Creality Ender-3 V2 is what my family member has had for a while now and enjoyed, and less than $200 is very nice. It does seem to be dated at this point, and Creality support seems to be lacking.
  • There's also the Neo of the above for the same price, but I am honestly having a hard time pinpointing the difference.
  • Sovol SV06 seems to be a common recommendation for the price range, but I've heard similarly negative things about their support, especially on Amazon (although I no longer trust Amazon reviews very much).
  • Flashforge Adventurer 5M appears to be on a significant sale on their official eBay (240 USD), but I have only really seen it recommended in almost spammy manners, which seems like either excitement for the sale or an ad campaign.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, even if it's just not getting into the hobby at this price point.
