I discovered these Games through my favourite Hitman and Sniper Elite YouTuber:

So as I saw them on massive discount on Steam I bought them right away:

30 Bucks for a whole game series is pretty damn good. They're still on sale for 3 more hours so go grab them if you're interested.

3 was a bit buggy if i remember but used the crytek engine so had potential.  The 'contracts' series adopted the 'hitman' model iirc and brought it back up to speed

I ordered a Kingston Fury 8GB 3200MHz RAM stick to upgrade from 8GB single channel to 16 in dual channel I have no regrets doing it finally can enjoy gaming while having chrome open

Well, the watch arrived!

I like it so far, except one thing:

It doesn't fit! The included band is too big for my tiny 135mm wrist.

So I ordered a sport S/M band which should arrive Wednesday.

Been interested in 3D printing for ages, but I had 0 knowledge about 3D modeling, and didn't want to rely on others for what to print.

 

My creativity kept wanting to design stuff and had some real purpose, so I decided to start with some modeling, and found it all to be quite easy (for printing purposes). Sure it takes time to look up how everything works, and there is trial and error for sure, but within a day I designed my first gamepiece, and since then I've designed quite a lot more. There is a lot more to learn, but it's been a good experience.

@NeroonDon't use the SLA printer like this. Even through the advertisement says the eco resin is safe the reality is different. It is maybe not as bad as the "older" standard resin but still bad for you and the environment (uncured/liquid)

 

Expect stunning prints from the resin printer. This is the Anycubic photon with 50µm layer height:

How do you mean? Do you mean the location?

It's in the attic, and I only use it to print when I can open the roof window (about a meter away), and I'm not there myself.

 

I've done a few minatures at 50, but I want to try smaller to see if I can get the quality up.

Looked like some sort of living room/office with the south park things and sideboard.

 

Looks nice. 

Not into minatures so the photon is good enough for me (functional printing). Still need to figure out how I can tell prusa slicer that the bottom layer are 0.1mm larger than the "normal" exposed above.

Mancave in the attic. So it is used, but I plan my resin prints carefully. I also don't do a lot of resin printing in general, I really bought it for getting those high details on miniatures and such.

I have no idea how to do that, not used prusa slicer myself (using Cura for FDM and Halot Box for resin), and while I've learned a lot in the almost 3 weeks that I've owned them, I'm still figuring some stuff out.

This has been my biggest project yet. Custom deckbox for my fully custom deck for the game Unmatched. I want to make those 'lips' on the cover a little bigger just to make it a little tighter. It does keep closed, but I feel it's a bit too easy to get it out, and afraid this might happen during transport.

It's truly fun to design something in your head, draw it out, take your measurements and start modeling it, only to see it come to life on your printer.

16 GB SODimm DDR4 to replace the 4gb stick in my notebook, as well as a 1 TB 2,5" SSD to replace the spinning disk in the same device as well. 

 

And while I was on a Shopping spree... if you can call 2 items that, I ordered a pizza as well ^^

I am in Toronto now, bought some stuff from Amazon, 32GB pair of RAM for my main rig. And some Bluray movies to add to my collection.

Just grabbed all this for my little AM4 Chopin build. Scored the Noctua for $48 AUD off Newegg direct from Noctua.

Yeah also since I am a sound engineer it should be a fun thing for me.

Can't you just punch holes into the band instead of buying something completely new?

Soft cables, because the stock Corsair cables are too firm

 

 

 

That's a cool looking motherboard. It kinda has a x58/x79 era vibe.

Band arrived already, and the band wrapped around and covered the sensor because my wrist is just that small.

Also I might have just bought a $200 empty box instead of a $200 GPU. The listing is a little...less than clear once I looked at it closer on desktop.

I'm not 100% sure that's what that is actually.

I've found myself helping more people with Apple machines lately, and I have been unprepared to create install media and test peripherals on the go, so I took a bit of a chance on a refurbished 2015 Macbook Air 11". It has the 1.6ghz i5, 8gb memory, and a 256gb SSD, and even came with a fairly fresh Apple-branded charger. One ding in the case, and the battery is at roughly 93% charge capacity, but aside from those two things it seems fairly fresh.

 

I was able to update it from Sierra to Monterey fairly easily, so it's now running the newest OS. I have a soft case and a Thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter on the way.
