People aren’t going to print their poo poo at home. Even in our consumer driven society, those fancy 3D printers would sit unused most of the time so it wouldn’t be efficient for us to print everything we needed on a household basis. No, there will be centralized locations where we can go and browse options and have commercial sized printers producing our choices. While we’re waiting we can stroll through broad covered avenues and look at all kinds of other exciting printing options, maybe stop by a cluster of restaurants...a food “court” if you will, and grab some bourbon chicken. Perhaps meet friends while we’re there. The future is going to be exciting.

In my dad's 20+ year quest to make the perfect nose piece for his CPAP machine, he bought a 3D printer (and scanner), I don't think he's used either in 2 years.

It's still going to be a huge economic shift. We've spent 100 years obsessing about manufacturing jobs and country of origin and the bulk of that is going to become decentralized. It's just not going to be decentralized into our homes so much. I want a 3D printer so bad and I would never use a 3D printer. Maybe I could build a drone that I'd also never use and just have them both staring at me in disappointment.

I know a lot of people who use 3D printers to make props and costume pieces for cosplay, instead of trying to carve poo poo out of foam. The only reason I don't have a 3D printer for stuff like that is that I never learned how to use CAD software so I'd be learning from the beginning to try and make even simple poo poo.

Powered Descent posted:A full-body scanner setup probably isn't something every home will need, so hey, maybe that's a service that can set up shop at the dying mini-malls in your town. Go to the new Skans-A-Lot where the Blockbuster used to be, then get naked and do the standard poses in their bigass 3D scanner. They email you the data file, and you can now print perfectly-fitted custom clothes. Come back and get re-scanned after you gain a few pounds. There's a fetishwear company that does this. They have a body scanner thing that they take to events, once you've been scanned then you can order latex clothing made to your exact measurements.

Ah, my younger self. I like to keep him next to where my heart used to be. Beware younger Manny, don't trust Domino. But then again you knew that. E - for actual thread content. Point & click adventure games. I haven't heard of many recently. Aside from, what. The Homestuck one, Dropsy the Clown, and Thimbleweed Park. Dead genre?

They sort of merged with Hidden Object games, and are actually really popular among "casual" gamers, which is what the industry calls women.

Aren't the Telltale Walking Dead games essentially point and click? They're pretty successful too.

They're around, they just don't tend to get tons of marketing. If you're looking for recommendations check out the entire Wadjet Eye Games back-catalog and Obduction (from the creators of Myst).

The Deeponia series is a decent one. Pretty sure Daedalic makes Point and Clicks because they're easier to code... though I think maybe they made a dungeon explorer based on their Swedish LotR analogue.

2064: Read Only Memories is an excellent point n' click involving a cute robots, gay poo poo, and a killer soundtrack.

I mean, you sell a black woman so she can work as a monkey, you send children into a pedophiles trailer home and your love interest (which of course falls in love with you even though you character is a massive rear end in a top hat with few to none redeeming qualities) is literally named "Goal". But its all in good fun so its ok!

Life is Strange is essentially a point-and-click in spirit, even if you're not literally clicking on everything with a cursor. I'm also a fan of Oxenfree. I think at least one goon did voice acting for it.

This all happens in the third game which seems to be mixed bag anyway. The protagonist is an inconsiderate dick throughout the series, though.

It's not really a proper adventure game until the protagonist ruins someone's life for a small personal convenience.

And a while climbing. And some more walking...

Although I guess it's not point and click since it controls more like a platformer with very little actual platforming, which is probably the weakest part of it too be honest. I'd have rather had no platforming and just point and click controls.

There are a bunch of them, but they're all fairly expensive compared to printing yourself, especially if you already have a printer. If you're printing something challenging just supervise it a little more. It's not always a process you can forget about until its done unfortunately.

Even in the US the genre is alive and well, honestly. Go look at the jewelcase-sized games in a big store some time, I can pretty much guarantee you'll find at least two or three of 'em. They're just marketed towards women now, so they don't count.
