Happy New Year 2023

Posted in Just something to say with tags , , , , , , on December 31, 2022 by getbent57

Yet another year is coming to a close.  It has been another year of successful blogging.  Near the end of January will be the start of the 15 year for this blog.  My goal last time was to get back into making videos for my YouTube channel.  Well that didn’t happen.  My new goal is to do a lot more 3D printing and them paint the models.  Have done a bunch all ready and enjoyed doing it.  May be I’ll turn those into small videos.

3D Printing In 2022

Posted in Just something to say with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 30, 2022 by getbent57

This past year I have managed to print off a lot of great things with my Elegoo Neptune 2 FDM 3D printer.  All so managed to paint/finish most of theses.  When fall set in kind of stopped working on these projects.  Missing do them, so the plan is to jump back in to it this January.  Not sure how well the printer will run since it’s in a colder part of the house.  Think I will just try out some small things at first.  The only down side is I will not be able to prime any new model.  That is because the temperature needs to be about 10c outside.

Swedish_House_Mafia_Dont_You_Worry_ChildIt is the last musical throwback Thursday of this year.  The pick this time is Don’t You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia.  It has been many years since I have heard this awesome song.  It was released in 2012 off their album Until Now.  This group has been around for years off and on.  They have three albums out.  You can give this song a listen > here or below.

Playnite

PlayniteHave seen a few videos on frontend manager software for PC games on YouTube.  A friend has Playnite running on his.  This program is a way to display all the games you have on your computer.  It doesn’t matter which game launcher you have.  It can even work with emulation.   There are lots of cool themes and ways to set it up.  The best part is it’s free.  I might give it a try on my mini PC.

Boxing Day Sales

Hoping to pick up some games during the Boxing Day/Week sales.  Last year missed out on getting my hands on Far Cry 6.  If I can’t find that in store will try Amazon.ca.  Would really like to get my hands on a PS5 but that would seem unlikely.   All so, may be PS4 controllers will be on sale.  My plan is to go tomorrow after work to see what’s there.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas.  We had a good one.  Lucked out without loosing power.  Feel bad for those who did.  Like last year the meal turned out amazing. Have it done to a science now.  Since it is Boxing day.  It means time for the traditional hot turkey sandwiches, with left over stuffing and salad.

A Garfield Christmas Special

There are only a few specials that I like to watch every year.  Garfield Christmas Special is one of them.  Luckily it is still on YouTube.  Think that is because it is 35 years old now.   While the video quality is not the best the jokes still hold up.  You can give it a watch here or below.
