I love when the track goes completely silent for a single rest after some buildup and then punches back into the full chorus. If that “gap” in noise is part of the melody itself it’s even cooler. It makes the following sound so much more impactful, even if the actual volume hasn’t increased by much.
When I was four or so I my family went to have lunch at another family friends house. Their sons were a bit older than me at the time, and they let me play some games on their new PlayStation console. I can’t remember exactly what order we played them in, but the first game I ever played was either Ape Escape or Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Both games are excellent and hold a special place in my heart to this day.
Even a hotbed replacement isn’t that bad. I ended up swapping out the entire hotend when I shorted the thermistor because I thought I also broke the heater cartridge as well. You can partially disassemble the MK3S’s tool head and it’s basically remove-> insert the new part and close it up again - > rewire.
There’s a reason why PETG/PLA are used as interface materials for supports in multi-material printers. There’s no molecular bond and so the parts will snap off very easily.
