It’s a brand new roll that printed fine on another printer yesterday. I think the issue is the z axis motor as now it’s toast after I crashed it into the bed.

The outer perimeter is sticking really well though. If you look you can see where the nozzle was dragging through the plastic on that part then when it goes to infill it does this guitar stringing thing.

I don’t use Mastodon or Twitter either. I never understood following specific people and prefer following topics instead.

You beat me to it

A few were there, there was also a meeting that night for one of the committees so a few of those folks wandered in for a little bit. It’s mostly an older crowd so they didn’t seem too interested.

For the past 2 weeks I actually have been bringing in my laptop and setting up trivia from crowdparty.app and putting it on the big tv before bingo since people get there about 2 hours early to claim their spots. I usually hangout for an hour or so and get a few people to play but not a lot. They did announce the game night at the last bingo night. I also have jackbox survey scramble that I haven’t tried with them yet but I think a few of them might like. The issue with bingo night is that they also sell raffle tickets and go several rounds of doing that so people are more focused on dealing with that and socializing.

It’s the American Legion and yeah the commander helped me set it all up. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of very active members. The only thing they really have going on is bingo, which draws a pretty big crowd. Unfortunately the other nights are completely dead in there.

Yes there’s three other locations in that area including one on campus but I’m starting it off at my location as a proof of concept with the hopes of building a wider video gaming community around the whole state/country. It’s a veterans organization and the thinking is that video gaming can help with ptsd and isolation.

I think I’m going to push pacman tournament this week since that seemed to be a hit with the older crowd. It’s pacman championship edition dx+ so I think is more accessible than other pacman editions.

I just mostly brought party games with me since it’s the first time. Like codenames, Uno flip, flip 7, coup, fuse, and also some decks of cards and a cribbage board in case anybody older showed up. As far as video games, pretty much same with some jackbox games, packman dx+, but if someone wanted to they could play fortnite or rocket league I put a bunch of games on there. I figured I would let the players set the tone for what they wanted to play and we would just provide the space and let it develop it’s own culture over time. I did have the idea to have themes like spooky games for the month of October and like I said maybe have a tournament once a month or something like that.

Here’s is the flyer minus the address and location.

It’s a large veterans organization. Also sadly there’s is no public transportation off of campus, especially not out here. I will try to get some flyers printed and see if I can get them put up in town. I think campus is too far out there for students to come.

No I didn’t use ai as I myself scroll past those kinds of flyers. I did use a Canva template and made sure to put times, dates, and location on it. It was a very straightforward flyer. I advertised board, card, and video games abd brought my gaming pc with me. I did have a few of the older folks that were there playing pacman though. They were there for a meeting anyway and didn’t come just for game night.

It’s true and they have their own gaming clubs for board games and an E-sports team. I didn’t expect any students to come but ‘townies’ often use the subreddit for the college and there’s Facebook groups for gaming in that town for regular folks.

I decided to run a local llm and give it search access. I told it to summarize an Amazon product page as I didn’t think it would get past the anti bot measures. I was correct, it couldn’t. However it went ahead and visited the manufacturers webpage and a different review site and gave me a summary of the product all on its own. Freaked me out a little bit that it did that.

Yeah I mod !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and it’s pretty chill. Once in awhile I’ll get two people bickering in the comments or something doesn’t really fit the community, but months go by without any issues.

AGI will still be six months away. There will be ai specific chips with the model baked into them like what is being developed right now so you won’t need excessive amounts of ram to run it. People will have stopped learning to code so coding languages will no longer be developed or there will be ai specific coding language or the ai will use assembly language for better efficiency. It will remain mostly useless to the average person but it will continue to be used to influence peoples beliefs and spread misinformation. College degrees will be completely irrelevant and we’ll have to have some kind of different way to judge people’s ability. We’ll probably use ai to test that.

Yes it’s that reddit sucks ass.
