Hobbies Wednesday - what have you done this week?

Finished rewiring and replacing the control board on my Robo R1+ (the first 3d printer i ever bought). It started powering off in the middle of print jobs a few years ago. So instead of replacing the stock board i bought an skr pro 1.2 control board.
The parts have been sitting there for a while but finally spent some time on it this week. Flashed the reprap 6.5 firmware and wired up the tft-3.5 v3 control panel. Just need to finish the tuning and configuration, then it should be printing better than new.
I have another fdm printer(creality ender 3 mqx) and a resin printer(elegoo mars 2). So this was just my 'f around and find out' project printer.

Finished God of War (2018) and now starting Ragnarok.
I was skeptical at first since I played all the OG GoW titles including PSP back in the day, will I like this new Kratos ?
And boy (heh) what a ride. I knew the gameplay would be fun at least combat wise, but I didn't expect having someone to accompany Kratos would be this entertaining.
Though IMO 'evil' Atreus arc feels too short, he just saw his bad deed once and somehow because Brokk and Sindri made up he is also good now.
Overall it's a blast and I can't wait to see what they'd do in Ragnarok.

Just finished playing a DnD game a couple hours ago where I lived out my wildly unrealistic fantasies of being able afford basic necessities. Truly an incredible game.
- this sounds … depressing. What basic necessities are you talking about? Heat? Water? Food? Friends?
  
  A job. Steady income. I'm... not doing great.

Mostly weight training. My favorite store is going out of business, which sucks, but at least I got a lot of protein on closeout so I've had a better bulking session than usual 🥲
Trying to read more too, but it's hard, because most of my downtime is during meals, and I don't like to have food near library books. I think I've only hit something like 80 pages in 7 days.
- You could also look for magazines separately If you are interested in Arduino or microcontrollers and projects, for example, there are certainly a few good ones where you can always learn something new. Or another area that interests you. The length of the articles is actually perfect for reading while eating. The price is also not comparable with books so it wouldn't be so bad.
  
  Thanks! I'm mostly interested in fiction right now but the wait for ebooks at my library is long 🥲 I know there are magazines that publish short stories so I'll look into that!

I too just finished a ttrpg game. We're playing Pathfinder 2e, but today was our last session of the campaign. My character and another died during the big boss fight but what the remaining two characters did was so beautiful, so now I'm weepy and sad in a bittersweet way.

Going over a song that my band should be practicing for the first time. Even though I wrote it, I can barely remember it!

Making lamb curry in the slow cooker! I'm afraid it might be too spicy for me. Probably not too spicy for my husband at least.
Got back into Loop Hero. I just needed to loop some.

More drawing of my angel character Goodie, but I still barely have an idea for the background. Oh well, most of my backgrounds are a ton of improvising anyway, so I'm sure it'll come together in the end!
Added some global illumination, effects on the crystal and some sloppy saliva!
- Looking good
