Actually my first time; I had to order them just for this, and they’re great! Now I have extras ready for the next project.

Awesome! Yeah, the color scheme came out great. The variation definitely fits a rag-tag orc army especially. Another idea along these lines would be even more variation, like they’re bring their own equipment to fight, but a couple of simple details for the “uniform”, like a crude slash of the same color across their shirts and shields, or something like that.

Painting party is an awesome idea! Send us pictures of what the group does. My only mini painting has been with bulk acrylic paints, on minis for a board game we like, but the results made me so happy!! Having actual mini paints of any quality, plus input from someone who has done it before, will be a great advantage for you all :)

Shout out to everyone who’s not drinking today, for whatever reason! Good luck to you. Make a plan for something better tonight.

No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.

I thought it was over, and then it just kept going hornier and hornier

Thanks; that worked! I was a little worried about the extra steps for my Nvidia card, but it was fine. Cosmic seems cool so far.

Freecad +1

WAIT !

I think each person has to recognize that there is a time/energy cost to get out of enshittification hell, and then decide how much they’re willing to pay. If the answer for you is at least “an afternoon of video tutorials”, then Freecad will be fine for you. It’s a complicated tool that you need some help learning; that’s ok. It won’t become your new hobby.

If you don’t want to pay that cost, that’s understandable. If you feel mad that there is a cost at all, that’s ok too. That’s how enshittification works, and it sucks. As I said, each person will have to decide whether and how much they’re willing to pay to get out of it.

Anyway, the MangoJelly tutorials in YouTube are really excellent, and will have you up and running in a few hours at most. (My CAD needs are also very basic, and I was done after the first two parts, 30 min each.) For following along, I would recommend just using the main version, so that it matches his tutorial exactly, and do the steps as he shows you. It feels dumb, but it’s such a fast way to learn. You can decide later if you want to switch to one of the other branches, depending on what features you care about or what annoys you most.

Here’s one of his later videos about tracing from a photo, but I haven’t watched it:

You can do it!

The pineapple is already digesting the pizza. Win win.

I had the same realization. I spent 3-4 hours fiddling with different settings, with no impact, and then 1 hour drying did the trick!!
