At least on the Steam Deck, the touchpads are pretty effective as a mouse replacement in games. You wouldn't play soulslikes with touchpads instead of joysticks, but RTS or 4X games gain a lot from having them.

They also make typing way better compared to selecting letters with a joystick.

    The Blood of Dawnwalker lets you complete areas in any order, kill any NPCs you like, and still complete the game after failing every quest: 'We're giving even more freedom to players' in c/games@lemmy.world

    They didn't say it's meaningless, just suggested that failing every quest leads to some type of conclusion to the game's plot. It might not be a good conclusion, but the story ends.

    To me, this just sounds like failing a quest doesn't mean the game is over or that you need to reload a previous checkpoint or save to keep playing.

    Parts disappearing, is this a bug? (lemmings.world)
     

    I'm following this tutorial and following it exactly. I've made the exact same drawing so far, exact same constraints, and getting the exact same results until now.

    At 13:22 he uses the Pad tool to extrude a ring, and then confirms it. The result is that he has basically built a flange with a hole down the middle.

    When I confirm the extrusion, everything disappears. It still shows up in the model box, but I can't see or interact with anything in the main window, and I don't get any errors or notifications.

    I can keep sketching, but everything I've done up until now is basically gone. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    always pay the contractor in c/memes@lemmy.ml

    Nobody's selling debt to collectors after a couple months, especially not large debts like to a contractor. They want the thousands owed, not pennies on the dollar from a collection agency.

    Your phone company will send your debt to collections almost immediately because it's not worth the hassle of fighting to collect $200 from you when they can get $50 from a collection agency instead.

    Has anyone here built their own printer? (lemmings.world)
     

    I've been given some linear rails, and the only thing I can think to do with them is build a large format 3d printer. I have two 750mm and two 670mm rails, two carriages each.

    I know there are several open-source plans for printers, and I could use a cool project to work on. I already have a smaller printer to work with so I can already make a lot of the parts.

    Has anyone done this before? What printer did you build, and do you have any recommendations and things to look out for?

    Filesystem suddenly becoming read-only? (lemmings.world)
     

    I'm running Bazzite, which is immutable, so the root filesystem is read-only, but I've been having an issue pop occasionally where the rest of my filesystem, including my home folder, becomes non-writable. I can't do much, and constantly get popups about folders being non-writable until I reboot, and then everything goes back to normal.

    Does anyone know what can cause this to happen? And is there a way to deal with this without rebooting when it does happen? I don't know when I'll be able to try anything out since it's not a frequent issue, but it has happened to me several times in the past.

    Extending wifi (lemmings.world)
     

    We have a wireless camera connected to our wifi, but the concrete wall makes the signal inconsistent. There is an available POE port nearby indoors, and the existing wifi which has a good signal indoors.

    What would be the most convenient solution to fix our issue? Should we just get a standard AP/repeater and put it close to the wall, or is there a better option?

    Thanks

    Need opinions on screw types from someone with experience (lemmings.world)
     

    I am building some simple "pallets" out of 4x4 lumber to ship some machines.

    The plan is to screw the feet of the machines to the top of 8 foot long 4x4s, and then to screw shorter 4x4s, probably about 4 feet, to the top of them as crossbars to move the machines with pallet jacks. Basically, I'd have a rectangle 8 feet long by 4 feet wide with the weight being supported from above by the crossbars. I'm not sure how much the machines weigh, but as a guesstimate, I'd put them at about 600 lbs each.

    My question is what type and length of screws should I be using for this? I may double up on the cross bars if it doesn't feel strong enough to safely carry the weight. Given I'm using 4x4s, I'll have about 7" of wood to work with, I imagine 6 inches would be a minimum length, but I don't know if I need some thicker screws, in which case I might need to drill some pilot holes.

    Thanks for the help
