Read your blog post about 3d printing, I'm in the same boat. I bought a Bambu A1 and I've been so happy. In a month I've used it more than my resin printer. Not having to deal with cleanup is so huge and the quality (especially with the .2mm nozzle) is excellent. I recommended it to Randy too.

Oh and forgot to also mention mechanicalgrape who originally created the stats mod in the tech post when I was name dropping.

There's a ton of work behind the scenes with ham jam streaming, tidalwave and spectre actually managing the data / stream overlays, as well as the commentators and fighters who participated in the event. This was the most complicated event we did and while there were hiccups, it was a success.

Obviously, none of this comes together without the actual ideas/theme/organization PM side of things which @hawtsoup.bsky.social takes the lead on. And nothing would look/sound as good without all the art production done by @imageomega.bsky.social .

If you have a little bit of html/css/js skills we've open sourced the JS that connects our overlays to google sheets with instructions at: github.com/bcyde/SheetS... . We're still looking at open sourcing the mod we use, but right now it's so tightly coupled to some other stuff it's not ready.

From the tech side the overlays are data driven primarily from google sheets. We wanted something we could use to administer the overlays for free and customizable. For match stat gathering we have a mod that utilizes REFramework that can gather stats based on viewing the match/replay.

These types of events/streams really mean a lot to us because we're all just a bunch of old dudes that enjoy fighting games. None of us do this as a job and really just want to make the community better. Read on if you're interested in seeing how this came together.

It's funny, I was about to start posting a few hobby dev things as well. I really wanted to bring back my website, but wanted to just host it myself since I have to pay for the unlimited bandwidth cap from Cox, but they block the ports so I'd have to host on a non-standard port :( .

Insect Glaive and Heavy Bowgun, but it looks like there's so much cool stuff to try. In MH:World I swapped between charge blade and heavy bowgun.

I didn't know you play monster hunter, I'll have to get some games with you when it's out. What weapons did you rock?

Saw you in Phoenix and laughed my ass off. Really great show.
