    Man this one was such a tough watch / listen, still absolutely amazing. I love how much Ren has been blowing up since "Hi Ren" went bonkers. It's also great to see his health improve a little, I'm looking forward to more of his songs.

    I was surprised it stayed up, I'll continue to use it while I can, I don't imagine it will be much longer.

    That's probably not the best way to sell it, still definitely worth checking out.

    Since you have two Kevin Smith films up I'll add Tusk to that little list. He was doing a podcast with Scott Mosier and they read this crazy ad where the dude was offering up a room for rent, if you would dress up like a penguin he would let you have it at a discounted rate or free. I can't remember the full thing now, anyway that gave the guys the idea of a horror movie where a guy kidnaps a reporter and turns him into a human walrus..

    By far the most insane film I've watched. I love it.

    Now ones that are a little more sane -

    The Man from Earth
    Primer
    John dies at the end (the books are fantastic)
    Red State (Kevin Smith)
    2:37 (Aussie Indy movie)
    Brick

    Oh and am honorary mention to the super indy file Bindlestiffs. By far the strangest thing I've ever watched and I don't know how I feel about it.

    I have an Ender 3 and Elegoo Mars (the green version) the Ender is printing a Pokeball for my niece, and the Mars is or will be when I get more resin, a bust of Beast from X-Men.

    I printed Beasts head along with Vapeoreon to go into the Pokeball, had a few bumps along the way so used a bit of resin on fails.. I didn't do my supports correctly because I rushed and stupidly thought "she'll be right"

    As for the Ender. Well it's not been extruding enough, that was after the stepper motor died and the hotend went into thermal runaway. It's been good fun.. anyway I replaced all of that, did everything then remembered the e-steps. So I did the e-step calibration, it was 5mm out, that's an easy enough fix, as I opened the settings I realised some fool changed that almost a year ago to extrude 5mm less. Past me is always doing things like this and forgetting, making life hard for future / present me..

    It's probably been done to death so I'm sorry if that's the case. Ever since I found Ren a few weeks (ok maybe months) back I've been on his music and the band he is part of The Big Push.

    I absolutely love the stories he tells, how open his is about mental health and the "one shot" videos are brilliant. It's so good to see his music really hitting hard for so many people.

    I have about 5+ models I've printed that I am currently painting. Just slowly working through the insane library of STL files I have, trying different things each time as well.

    Then I am also planning on doing some dice and dice box resin casting very soon. I just need to set things up for that because I always end up making a mess no matter how careful I am .. damn pigments get everywhere.

    It's been a minute since I've posted on here.. anyway I'm Melbourne Australia, currently mid lockdown number 4, we spent most of last year in lockdown with a 5km radius we could travel. This absolutely ruined my mental health, I was trying to study to further my nursing degree but had to put it all on hold as things became far too difficult.

    Skip forward to this most recent lockdown, we were told it would be 7 days, well things went to shit as they seem to do and it was extended for a further 7 days. This brought back all the anxiety of last year and "two more weeks" that went on for months. I stepped up this time and spoke to my GP, I've been started on antidepressants, knowing how they work and the adverse effects because of work is one thing but experiencing them is a whole other world of crap.

    I'm currently trying again with my degree but currently have no motivation for it at all. Unfortunately it's the end of the damn semester I just hope I've done enough for that part and will be in a better place next semester.

    It's been a minute since I posted on here, I live in Australia, Melbourne. We have been in such a harsh lockdown and it's started to mess with me, yesterday we had 0 cases, 0 deaths I almost cried with happiness. Then the press conference said things would be opening up again from midnight tonight.

    This morning I was expecting to see a number or two but was met with 0, 0 again. Absolutely amazing two days. I'm feeling top of the world at the moment and it's fantastic.

    I purchased a wooden box shaped like a book that I'm currently lining with felt an faux leather, with small dividers to hold dice, pens, mini figs and tokens that will help track spells and such for when I play DnD.

    the outside I plan on covering with random runes and will use the whole thing as another prop for my characters story.

    This week was meant to be a busy one leading up to the arrival our our baby on Monday. This week was meant to be filled with hospital appointments (midwife's and ultrasounds) we got to Tuesday before all those plans went out the window.

    My wife had a gestational diabetes appointment on Tuesday and was having some pains in her lower abdomen, the endocrinologist wouldn't let her leave without seeing someone about the pains. The pains didn't stop and only got worse over the evening until close to midnight we were told baby needed to come out, after lots of waiting because other people were in a bit more of an emergency than us we had out little girl at 0715 Wednesday morning, a tiny 5lb 4oz and 47 cm 32 weeks on the damn knocker. All the nurses have told us she is a great size for being so early and she was a 1 in 80,000 birth because she was an en caul birth.

    Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that and neither did anyone in the operating theatre. So that's been my week.

    Wow that is a hell of a super power I've never thought of!

    So I'm gonna tell you in this rely just because. We did a one shot last night all 10th level and it was the most insane yet amazingly fun session we've had in ages, knowing that whatever we do won't really matter we all went for it.

    I played a shadow sorcerer and need to play that one again hopefully from first level or a lower level because I need to connect with them a bit more and really role play all the things with their personality. I'm all sorts of excited about the thought of that!

    Our DM used the Reincarte spell for this and traded the egg in place of the gold cost. One of the party wanted to hacth the egg and use it as a mount... Most of us really advised against this but he was so hell bent on trying he won us over with the idea of whatever happened it would be fun to watch. That character was a gnome so no doubt would have been eaten.

    I was hoping you would see the thread, it sounds like you will be running the show very soon. I'll have to read up on those as soon as I have a minute.

    Most of the campaigns our DMs are running are heavy homebrew stuff, it's been fun so far but these other modules would be a blast to have a shot at as well. Time is the big issue for most of us unfortunately, damn work and life and such lol

    That is exactly how I've been with my other characters and also been playing about the same time lol

    My first character was a Rogue that I just didn't connect with at all, a paladin was after that and again didn't feel it. My druid is fantastic because I can play with different ways his personality works say I've spent more time as a Dire Wolf than in my human form then I exaggerate different things, like threats to myself or the party must be stopped immediately. When I spend more time in non shaped form it's because I'm throwing heals (this is mostly when our cleric isn't there for the week) then his personality is far more calm and just more socially awkward than anything else.
