Melee, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the Mario Party series are my favorites. For years, if you wan

One simple 3D printing concept you should master for stronger prints

Some 3D printed objects need to be stronger than others. Weight-bearing items like hooks and brackets require a bit more thought before they’re sent to the printer, which is a simple case of arranging them differently on the build plate.

I stopped letting Windows 11 "help" with my files—my PC feels faster now

The reason Windows File Explorer feels more broken than ever is because Microsoft has added a lot of bloat under the hood. The more features they add to "help" you with your files, the more unstable it becomes.

It's hard to equal Resident Evil 4's quality, but Capcom did that for me with Resident Evil Requiem — it just needs one more thing for perfection

Show HN: JD Roast – Paste a job description, get it brutally roasted
