Been working on a multi-player version of tetris for the PC using Godot. Was able to play a match with a couple friends and they seemed pretty excited.

Still have some work to do polishing the game play and adding modes but it's been fun playing something with friends that I made!

Sounds like you've got some stuff figured out and you should be proud of that! It sucks when friends drift apart, maybe you could initiate some hangouts if you haven't tried that already. Not just 'we should hang out some time' but something like 'hey want to to get together this weekend and see a movie'.

As for feeling lost and bored, I can relate. I still don't really know how to handle that, I try to lose myself in a hobby, or deep dive into something that interests me. Doesn't make it stop but it helps forget about it for a while.

Stay real friend <3

That's sounds rad! You should post some pics on here if you do end up doing it! Totally understandable if you didn't want the trouble tho!

The picture is of the 'finished' pin, I'd still like to refine the process a bit.

The general process I follow is:

  • print the pin
  • use a casting sand like petrobond and fill a metal container
  • talcum power the printed pin
  • press the pin into the casting sand to make the void for casting
  • heat up the bismuth until it is liquid
  • heat up the actual pin (looks like a thumbtack)
  • pour the molten bismuth into the void, and quickly put the actual pin piece in the molten bismuth, if it's not hot enough the bismuth will cool and the pin won't sink in
  • wait for it to cool (about a minute) then pull the pin out with some pliers (it's still hot so you don't want to touch it at that point)
  • take a dremel to any flashing that occurred
  • paint as required (I'm just using nail polish right now since it's pretty durable)

Hopefully that helps! If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them :)

I've been using bismuth because of the low melting point (no need for a furnace) . I just picked up some used kitchenware so I could melt it on the stove top.

Pewter apparently has a pretty low melting point too, so that could be an option as well.
