@Mrcooldude
I'm a terrible benchmark because my computer is actually under the minimum recommended specs on paper but can also run things it seemingly shouldn't be able to (Fallout 4 on lowish settings, for example) for reasons which I still haven't been able to figure out. (Ryzen 5 4500u with 512MB integrated graphics, if you're curious.)
SP2 is more demanding than SP1, but not excessively so. If you can run SP1 at a good framerate, you'll probably be able to run SP2 at a playable framerate or better.
@Mrcooldude I've been using a Prusa MK3S in my college's makerspace. Had access to a Bambu X1C at work over the summer and it was super nice, but the Prusa has worked well so far too.
Hard to say, I don't really have a single favorite.
Owl City and Marianas Trench are definitely the largest in my collection in terms of quantity, but there's a lot of good ones beyond them. Then, of course, there's the classics (Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, ABBA, a-ha, and so on).
Sabaton is cool if you like metal with interwoven history lessons, but a lot of their older stuff (pre-Heroes) all ends up sounding kind of the same.
The Longest Johns is one of the best shanty groups currently around, and they're a lot of fun.
If you're looking for some good instrumentals (mostly) to put on in the background while you game, I'd recommend Two Steps from Hell, Lucas Ricciotti, 2CELLOS, 40 Fingers, Lindsey Stirling, and maybe Ally the Piper if you're into that.
...I tend to listen to pretty much anything except rap, if you couldn't tell...
Not SP but this is a good model, prints really nicely too. I've got a little PLA one on my desk and I'm currently printing a bigger one with TPU as an experiment so that I can throw it across the room without breaking anything...
(edit 6 hours later) It turned out pretty well! TPU is very stringy and I unfortunately had to use rafting on it which was not fun to remove, but the mechanism worked surprisingly well for how flexible the material is. And I can indeed throw it at the wall without it breaking anything, so that's fun.
@StockPlanesRemastered That'd definitely work too. Honestly whatever you think is the best should be what you use - make the build you want to make, how you want to make it.
2, but with a few suggestions so you don't run out of controls.
Pitch is standard obviously (ballast or gyroscopes or whatever method you use).
Either roll or yaw as differential engine power and/or other steering mechanisms (up to you, whichever you'd prefer).
VTOL and trim for left/right engine pivoting/rotation so you can control them independently.
Completely respectable, especially in this day and age. Good on you for making sure you'd be buying something actually enjoyable and worth your time instead of just going off of hype.
I'd recommend standing it up on its tail to print so that you don't have to remove supports from inside the engine and intakes (and also so that the wings have a nicer finish). Also, use organic/tree supports if your slicer can do them; they're way easier to remove.
@Boeing727200F That's for him to disclose (or memory-hole) once he returns. Looks like the mods also took down my invitation for a private, civil discussion with him around the same time that he got banned, but he had plenty of time (like, almost three weeks) to consider the offer before then and chose not to. Either way, it's a subject that has no place on this site and I will not elaborate further.
A circular airship with an engine assembly that spins around the outer ring would be sick (and by sick I mean mechanically nightmarish but aesthetically neat)
@Graingy Oh, y'know. Lots of stuff. My washing machine decided not to do the spin cycle yesterday for some reason, Microsoft keeps trying to force me to "upgrade" to Windows 11, and certain people (without getting too specific) are becoming increasingly vocal about their preference for me to be about twelve feet shorter than I am.
Here's a question you should ask yourself: Are you doing this because you want to be done with the site, or because you want attention or to be edgy or whatever? Changing your name to "Unwanted," opening the post with "I am hated throughout this community," and pinning a comment that says "I should probably kms" heavily suggests that you're doing it for attention or to be edgy or whatever, in which case you'd most likely be back on a new account in like 1-6 months anyway so it literally doesn't matter.
On the other hand, if you feel like you just want to be done with the site, then you could just stop using the account. Outright deleting it benefits nobody because 1) it prevents anyone from using your builds in the future and 2) it's more difficult if you change your mind and want to come back in the future.

Bullet point 1: "The designer will be "read-only": You can load up and look at any craft, including your SP1 crafts, but you can't modify them. You won't be able to add, remove, or modify any parts. However, the designer will let you paint your craft so you can check out the new texture system which is pretty sweet."
@Graingy Nah, don't worry about it. It's an old joke a buddy of mine told me after his stint in the National Guard ended. You ever heard the one with the pair of Stratofortress engines? It's quite similar to that, but a little less direct. I'd explain it, but it wouldn't be funny anymore.
Do try and keep better track of who's who in the future, though. That sort of confusion is a bad habit to get into, and there's a lot of foolish and fruitless things that can come about as a result.
@Graingy Hm, I'll keep an eye out for that. Apology accepted.
Anyway fear not, I'm not going to do the "copy-the-sand-guy's-pfp-thing-to-look-cool-or-whatever" bit; this other idea I've got is way funnier and a lot less petty. I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually ;)
@Graingy What, or whom, exactly have I defended, and where have I done so? Please be specific, no faffing about what I "might" or "can" do. You can even quote me, if you'd like.
@Graingy Ooh, that's a good idea. Y'know, I do have a rather unfortunate tendency to be petty. Out of curiosity, can you point me to what I've said that strictly goes against your (collective, apparently??*) views?
*can you also explain this? are there multiple people running the account or are you representing a bunch of different users or what? I'm a little confused...
@Graingy You're right, it's way more palatable for you when you say it that way.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have the opportunity to do something really funny and I'm going to need a bit to decide whether or not to do it.
You had literally one rule and it was to not leak stuff from the playtest.
