I live an increasingly confusing double life as TeaHands the game dev, and TheGiddyStitcher, multicrafter extraordinaire!
Currently working on my first ever commercial indie game, a minimalist city builder.
What kind of printer is it? The more-experienced-than-me folks will probably be able to point you in the direction of specific resources depending what type of printing you’ll be doing.
When we first got into printing I taught my husband the basics of CAD with Fusion360, and after a bit of wrangling with the unintuitive controls he found it pretty easy to use. It’s free for personal use, which is the main draw, but also it makes it easy to share designs with each other. That said I’m sure someone will be along to recommend a FOSS alternative because this is Lemmy after all.
Mainly I just wanted to say welcome to the gang and have fun printing a load of stuff you didn’t even know you needed! :D
Just FYI you should have your profile set to both, otherwise you’re missing content posted in English.
You might also find you’ll occasionally need to set a language when responding to a post or comment made from Kbin, there’s some kind of weird combo of settings that sometimes won’t let an Undetermined comment go through, so just something to bear in mind.
I do not. In fact I’ve been too embarrassed to reply to this comment for 2 days because the truth is I’ve not had as much time for gaming as I used to, am getting old, and I’m basically entirely out of the loop.
But then I remembered this isn’t Reddit and I probably won’t get attacked for admitting it, so here we are! This is part of why I’m really looking forward to our trip in a few weeks. No internet connection, just some stuff I download in advance, it’ll be really nice to catch up on some things I’ve missed!
Also I’ve just stumbled across !rhythmgames@lemm.ee (Lemmy / Kbin) which looks decently active and is going to do real damage to my wallet, worth a look if you’ve not seen it yet 🙂
No worries at all! Gotta get you settled in somehow 😄
I’m not sure what you know about Mastodon but it’s a microblogging thing (think Twitter).
So, Mastodon users can search for Lemmy communities, which appear to them just like a regular Mastodon user account. They can post to the community by tagging that account. If they follow the community they’ll then see new posts and comments show up in their feed like regular “toots” (tweets). As you can imagine if they follow a busy community that gets spammy fast, but it does work.
From the Lemmy side, we can’t follow Mastodon accounts yet afaik. But we can reply to posts and comments coming from Mastodon users, which from our side are formatted just like regular posts and comments in our communities.
Hmm I better add something Futurama-ey so I don’t get in trouble.
…Sexlexia!
It’s the collection of various softwares/sites/platforms that are all able to interact due to operating on the same underlying technology.
Lemmy is part of the Fediverse. Mastodon is also and users there can follow and post in Lemmy communities despite being a totally different thing. Kbin is another Reddit-like, it and Lemmy coexist pretty seamlessly.
And there are so so many more. Fediverse alternatives to FB, Insta, YT, Linktree, etc etc etc.
You’ll also hear “Threadiverse” which is what people have taken to calling that part of the Fediverse that focuses on forum thread type discussions (ie Lemmy and Kbin mainly).
For the Mastodon users among us, obligatory plug https://streetpass.social
