  • This is the first graduation that has hit me hard. I’ve been a long time fan of Fauna, but last year I was going through an extremely stressful time. Fauna and Ironmouse were a source of a lot of comfort for me during that time.

    This is actually devastating for me. I hope she makes another debut in some capacity, but her model was one of my favorites in Hololive.

    I would have expected this from Gura, but Fauna just came out of nowhere.

    Fuck, this hurts.






  • We have access to a decent amount of tools at the lab, it’s definitely feasible. We tossed around the idea, and honestly I may prefer that to a food dehydrator as all of the dehydrators I’ve seen have a cut off timer whereas the filament dryers we have can be run indefinitely.

    I’ll have to pitch that to my boss and see what he thinks. I’ve seen some people convert some water proof/resistant totes from Target to become filament dryers.









  • Yeah I honestly don’t know what took it so long. Maybe T-Mobile just felt like being slow?

    Either way, I was really stoked when the pixels set up the carrier for me. TMobile doesn’t let you change/swap phones online and I really didn’t feel like calling and talking to someone.

    Slow RCS activation aside, this was the easiest and most hassle free phone swap I’ve ever done.




  • Coming from a Pixel 5, the 6 was a letdown for me. I didn’t like how the size increased, and I despise the under screen fingerprint sensor, it’s very finicky; even if you’re using a compatible screen protector. To me it’s a major downgrade compared to the rear mounted fingerprint sensor on the previous pixels (sans 4).

    I do like how I was able to get 256gb for it as I do need more storage, but I wish it had the option for 512gb.

    It also sometimes gets really warm. And within the past year it’s had a couple of situations where I thought it died on me (screen unresponsive, doesn’t wake to power button, etc.), but it turned out to just be the phone having conniptions. Most recently I think debris has worked its way into the power button, as sometimes the phone becomes erratic, where it shuts the screen on/off sporadically.

    Also, the modem fucking sucks on this thing, I have an unbridled hatred for it. My brother got a Pixel 7 and we share the same carrier and he reports he has no issues with his, so I’m guessing they’ve improved the modem on the 7 over the 6.

    The Pixel 5 is still in my opinion the best Pixel Google ever made, it was honestly the perfect size and had the better fingerprint sensor. If they were to make the pixel 5 again but give it a newer processor and more storage, it would be a no brainer for me.
