I think it is mostly the massive success. Some people have a belief that anything that is very popular is by definition bad.

I have a prusa M4 with multi-material head, and I am super happy with it. It started as a M3, and has been upgraded twice to become what it is today.

It was expensive, but prusa really does have great support for free, which is worth a LOT. And the upgradability means you end up spending less if you keep with the hobby over years.

But one caviat, I have the printer set up and my friend’s house, because he has more space and free time. So most of what I know about it comes from his experience, not mine. I do lots of CAD, but I don’t often actually touch the printer myself.

If you could use some of the Tuxcart resources/engine, perhaps a vehicle-based battle game with a garage for customization of your vehicle?

I’d say keep it simple to start. Perhaps a turn-based tactics game like final fantasy tactics advance, or more 3D, like XCOM?

Thank for sharing, this is truly an inspiration.

I second that opinion. It seemed shallow and easy at the beginning, but turned out to be a really entertaining and challenging game. I also love how the characters age, develop, and eventually retire.

Maybe it’s not. Maybe we are all tiny parts of same consciousness that creates the dream, which makes it consistent based on our shared expectations, or shared subconscious, or whatever connection it is that makes us one. Or something along these lines.

That would explain the consistency without relying upon rigid materialist laws.

Unless it is not.

I’m truly happy for you if is that easy for you, but addiction of any sort can be a bitch, and it’s not just a matter of willpower.

This is already being done in Europe to an extent. It is doable, but it requires a shift in thinking and more investment as well as planning. It’s not really about getting rid of plastic. Just single-use plastic.
