    Pyra Questions

    Assuming You mean the Pyra, it's anything but too late to pre-order, and You place the pre-order directly to the manufacturer here. However, due to the nature and high targeted quality the shipping date is still unsure, and strangely, most of us are fine with it ;) Should You be confused by why...

    Want to buy a CNC mill kit, need some advice

    To clarify my previous answer: when I meant "cnc plotter", I meant something like this: https://www.olx.pl/oferta/ploter-frezujacy-cnc-CID619-IDrmVYd.html These are often assembled by dozens of self-employed makers in Poland and other countries because there is a local market: most smalltime...

    Want to buy a CNC mill kit, need some advice

    Hi. I spent a lot of evenings over the last few months considering a cnc mill to buy, and later considering a cnc router (for wood) to put in a flat (ever since moving out from my hometown and losing access to dad's metal shop I miss machining), so I know well the itch. But believe me, using a...

    e-ink e-readers & other e-stuff. No i-stuff.

    My exact same thought. Noteslate was the perfect thing I'd need for notes in the computer-shunning department in my technical university (this is/was crazy), and then it proved to be a lie. And recently when it came out, it looked so dissapointingly unresponsive and slow that really, better if...

    The plausibility of an E-Ink Display

    Very interesting and in a way, inspiring bit of info there! As for that, I think all us roguelike enthusiasts agree that 'yes' ;)

    Just a bunch of pics

    Yes I understood You well. Rostfrei/inox indeed isn't always the best material, because of what You said. There are different carbon steels for kitchen knives, different for "knives" in farming plows and for excavators, and different to be resistant to stretching, and there is as big a world of...

    "Smach Z is Back!" ...?

    Sorry for the slightest derail, but I just want to say that all the news we get about these pocket devices are speculation, speculation, speculation... "Unrecognized CPU", "probably 2 sodimm slots", "probably they didn't agree on x, y and z with key partners". Transparent, "open" development...

    I think stainless steel is not required as we'll *try*not use the pyra in super chemically aggresive environments, and even though it's just a logo, keep in mind steel is like 3x more mass by volume than aluminium. For a pocket device, this can be important. Also if it's aluminium, and we get...

    Absurdism corner

    We just have one actor read all the lines of all the characters, male, female, young and old, in a voice over. Dubbing is used for animated movies and as for live acting mostly in family/children's flicks. Some TVs ca. late90's-early 00's tried dubbing with different actors, or just subtitling...

    Blocking URL's from titles.

    Just reported another spambot thread, went to this subfrorum to post basically same thing as Kippykip posted here! Now they seem to be programmed to set up polls with the spammed link as the poll question. Perhaps just doing this will help. But again, from a forum user's perspective, this...

    Awful game ideas.

    Recently, when I'm not super tired after work I am drawing up a cRPG game system for blind people (thinking about games, and in general interfaces for visually impaired people is exciting to me), coming out of the thought/mental excercise "How much would Betrayal At Krondor, engine and...

    GPD WIN 2

    Judging by the cover, about their "quantitve" business approach, making things marketable for everyone and pushing them super cheap, I think they either aren't aware or decided not to get involved. But this is just a general perception and I do not presume everyone at GPD is like that. A near...

    Local forums?

    I don't know about the difficulty of implementing this, but if we plan to assist non-English speakers so much then perhaps there could be a list of "Articles most asked to be translated", with sections like "1. Articles to be translated into German 2. Articles to be translated into Chinese"...

    Local forums?

    Meiner Meinung nach, Forumsposting für fremde Sprache lernen sehr gut ist. Es ist nicht so schwer in einer informell Umgangston. Aber in "technischer" Besprechung... zu schwer, die Bedeutung klar machen (mehr als "nur ein Lösung" bringen). Vielleicht es richtig für mehr Personen, wer Deutsch...

    Local forums?

    I also think that this is too small a community for splitting it into smaller ones. Let's perhaps stick to English. We seem to have enough German and French speakers to warrant quite lively communities of those, but I have a concern: Let's say a German user has a problem with using the Pyra...

    Help me find a game I played when I was a teen

    Another idea, however pessimistic, is that it might've been a Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese game- nowadays I stumble upon some abandonware blogs and there's a ton of them (I especially like the ones with shamelessly borrowed assets), and they often exhibit pseudo mango artwork (and sooooooometimes...

    Help me find a game I played when I was a teen

    Hmmm, rather than Betrayal at Krondor I would say it must've been Betrayal in Antara, but then again I think You would've remembered that exploration (not combat) was in a first person perspective

    Change the Pandora into a Amazon Echo Alexa Device?

    I think I have a very specific use. You're cleaning the house, got dity hands. You think of a game that takes a long time to start. You tell the pandora to download it, run, start a new game and inform when it's loaded. This can save up to 1 minute (!) of checking up on the progress bar. The...
