Perfect is the enemy of good. Screw good. I wanna be perfect.

The UI of Prusa slicer is hot garbage though.

I’m comparing cura and prusa, so prusa wins by a lot. What are you comparing prusa to? Orca?

Fork of a fork of a fork.

Can someone give me a brief intro to orca slicer? Who is it made by and what’s it’s quirk?

For example prusa slicer, made by prusa, prioritizes user interface and has powerful almost modeling features (text, cutting etc)

Is somebody ever completely demotivated with everything?

Yep, that’s called depression.

How do you deal with it?

Medication. Time. Continued effort. IMO, success in life isn’t measured by completion. It’s measured by getting back up after you fall. Amount of progress isn’t the most important thing. Any progress, at all, is infinitely better than none.

Occasionally I have these days where I don’t feel like doing work or chores. So I’m thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?

Yep, have those all the time. I wait for them to pass and then when my energy comes back, I do all the things. It’s frustrating because I’m waiting on some unknown energy to decide to make my brain work today.

Typically I would then waste time browsing or watching videos, but that seems to make it worse. How to snap out of this?

Yep. Same feeling. I like a few videos here and there, mostly sciency ones, but when I start mindless scrolling, it makes me feel worse and I stop. I usually do something light activity, small task, to get the ball rolling. Clean for 5 minutes. Only 5. Set a timer. I can stop after that. If I want, I can keep going, but stopping is fine.

It let me download and publish a make. (I got all the way to the confirm on make, but didn’t commit.)

Not to name and shame but what’s the stl link? I’ve never seen this before and I’d like to.

Woosh

I don’t do betas, but I’m following your progress! I love this.

And it dismisses the time component of self hosting. It’s not going to be zero.

If that doesn’t work out, upload to a 3rd party, like catbox.moe and post a link instead.

Hahahahahaha

That’s what I thought I did, though I implied it instead of ask directly.

Like you know that Doom 2016 was the 3rd complete from scratch redo from what they originally started working on after Doom 3, right?

No, I had no idea.

Claiming not a lot of work was done

No, just the opposite. It’s a ton of work for not a lot of results. It’d be like saying it took you 3 days to make a sandwich. That’s wayyyyyy longer than I’d expect it to take, with the caveat, I’m not a professional sandwich maker.

I forgot where I heard it.

Why do people always feel like their inexperience on a topic is relevant?

Because this feels unusual but I’m not an expert and I can’t say whether that amount of time is truly usual or not. I’m in manufacturing and when people say what I said, then it’s usually as an invitation to discuss the topic.

Probably to politely invite contrasting opinions and experiences from people in the field

Exactly. “I’m no expert, but this feels weird.”

I’m not in software dev but 8 years seems a long time to make a game like this. I love the game and play it daily, but it’s not that deep. It’s has 5 maps and 20 guns and 2 kinds of enemies. That doesn’t doesn’t seem like an 8 year dev time.

Oooh my kid is gonna love that meme. He keeps telling me I’m autistic (he’s probably right)
