Nice, looking at it made me feel surprisingly nostalgic. I guess you don’t really see tiling backgrounds much anymore. Nice work on the archive too!

That’s a fire hazard (in case you weren’t already considering it)
I’m guessing I’m probably slightly younger than you, but I’m still old enough to remember how things were before the web took everything over. I definitely agree with some of your point, but I think there’s some cause for optimism!
Damn, I didn’t know what had happened to her. I really liked her content.
I use Trello to manage several lists (recurring daily, Tuesdays only, one-offs, etc) and reconcile them into a daily plan each morning
Assuming it ever comes out. I’m WAITING…

Wireframe 3D graphics like this did exist in 1983. It’s why it’s a visual aesthetic of that time period; it was the cutting edge of technology. The glow effect could be accomplished at that time by printing the rendered wireframe on a transparent sheet, then backlighting it and photographing it. That’s how they did the glowing effects in each frame of footage in the original TRON, which also showcases cutting edge 3D graphics from this time period.
If you know how to program, build123d is a FOSS option that isn’t FreeCAD! You can create objects directly from Python code, including fillets and chamfers! I’ve been playing around with it a lot and while there’s definitely a learning curve, it’s pretty powerful! There’s a VS Code addon that allows you to visualize what you’re working on and visually debug as well. I can do a lot of things I couldn’t do in OpenSCAD (which is another easier code cad option).
This is the route I ultimately took and it has worked out well for me. Most of the multi-packs I found had individual rolls that were too short to really be practical. I considered buying two packs, but with a lot of brands there will be some variability between two rolls of the same color which means you can’t switch mid-print. I ultimately found a pack with rolls that were twice the typical length and that has worked out well. The one I bought was Mika 3d brand on Amazon.
I wanted one of those so bad as a kid. Unfortunately if you’re in the US, all TV was required to switch to digital only in the 2000s, so it won’t be able to pick up any modern stations. You could always buy a cheap analog video transmitter to go with it though!
Ah, a use for all my leftover pink filament post-Barbie
Gorgeous! Metroid is my favorite. I especially love how this appears to be printed directly in the correct colors of filament without requiring paint. Is the source model for this the game asset, or did it come from somewhere else?
Thank you, kind stranger!
