If you're a cactus lover who plays chess, finding this would probably feel like doing an 8 ball. Not my specific niche, but I hope someone finds this and gets energized by it.
I envy y'all who seem perfectly able to play with main pieces looking like different styles of cacti. While they more or less recall the original ones,that would definitely hamper my game.
Really clever design, at first I'd say the main pieces aren't distinct enough, but I sort of get it. Really I could swap the Bishop, Knight, and Rook and not really notice they were changed. Would take a bit remembering which was which
there are at least 25 listings, most having high shipping charges (up to $20) to make the price lower. I highly suspect it will be hard to get one that looks as good as the video for these prices.
I'm genuinely upset at how creative some people are. I mean, how do you even come up with that idea? I can't even come up with an idea for what to have for dinner...
Put down your phone, turn off your screen(s), be really really fucking bored. Be bored until you get an idea. The most important part is to remove any form of stuff that keeps you from being bored, ‘cause the boredom is essential for sparking your creativity.
Seriously! Look at the other crazy stuff this creator has designed. It’s nuts!! https://thangs.com/designer/ForgeCore <br>Look at this freaking adorable sushi chess set! https://than.gs/m/1321890
I’m posting links to it because I went and researched it and I love the stuff and wanted to share. I’ve never heard of this guy and now I’ve subbed on YouTube so I can look for more 3d prints from him.
I mean, if someone posts something and I'm interested enough to go find the source, I usually copy-paste the same link to anywhere I see someone else in the comments asking for the src
He's getting downvoted because this is a series of bot accounts that have been cleverly engineered to *look* normal, but are actually pushing junk slop on this website.
It started with posters posting something that looked interesting, and eventually a rando commenter would post about where to find it....and people caught on quickly that it was just a spam account directing people to a badware website.
It’s so sad that we live in a time where an interested third party who searched it out then posted source material so others didn’t have to because op couldn’t be bothered to do it themselves, gets downvoted for posting source material. The bots have really ruined the internet haven’t they :(
I don’t blame you of being sckeptical. The bots are getting really good lately. I assure you though I just really liked the stuff this creator has designed and wanted to make it easier for others to see the cool stuff. I’m not sure what I can do to make you feel like I’m not a bot. You’re free to check my comment and post history, I don’t post stuff like a bot would.
I don't give a fuck who posts it. You post a link under a product video, you get a downvote and report for spam. Imgur folks like to shit on game devs posting their work on here, yet turn a blind eye to this bullshit. Nah uh. I call that hypocrisy.
I assure you i have no affiliation with op or the creator of the 3d print site. I just found it with my searching and thought I would share the actual source with people who were interested in 3d printing one on their own instead of shelling over money on amazon.
I think there's a big difference between someone posting "I found this cool thing" and the op or a commenter providing source, versus someone saying "I made this thing, go buy it"
No, there isn't, because that's exactly what bots do. People selling off their old accounts with tons of points for the bots to appear genuine, or people setting up bot accounts by reposting shit from the front page over and over to farm points to appear "legit". And under every single one of those, you can be sure there's several product links, usually disguised as "That's so cool. Here's the source if you want one." Like I said, I don't give a fuck. Downvote and report it is. No exceptions.
And if you need examples, just browse the web. I used to moderate on reddit and it's the same thing over there. Bot accounts hijacking popular replies and then either copying it word for word, or with a slight alteration. You can track them pretty easily. You could even chat with a bot and not realize it. Vastly different from ChatGPT, as those were trained based on real conversations.
