  2. referring to the comment I think on one referring to the comment I think on one of our podcasts where somebody said Mark of our podcasts where somebody said Mark of our podcasts where somebody said Mark must never last time Mark played a video must never last time Mark played a video must never last time Mark played a video game was probably the year 2000 game was probably the year 2000 game was probably the year 2000 something like that yeah right I think something like that yeah right I think something like that yeah right I think the confidence level was low in your uh the confidence level was low in your uh the confidence level was low in your uh pop culture knowledge and background and pop culture knowledge and background and pop culture knowledge and background and actually I did respond to I think I actually I did respond to I think I actually I did respond to I think I responded to that comment because I've responded to that comment because I've responded to that comment because I've been playing Battlefield series from been playing Battlefield series from been playing Battlefield series from Battlefield 1942 which came out in like Battlefield 1942 which came out in like Battlefield 1942 which came out in like 200 200 200 five or five or five or four I've been playing that series four I've been playing that series four I've been playing that series continuously since then getting multier continuously since then getting multier continuously since then getting multier the the the multiplayer yeah 50 players and at this multiplayer yeah 50 players and at this multiplayer yeah 50 players and at this point it's Pro I don't even want to look point it's Pro I don't even want to look point it's Pro I don't even want to look at how many hours if I total them up at how many hours if I total them up at how many hours if I total them up that I've spent in Battlefield but it's that I've spent in Battlefield but it's that I've spent in Battlefield but it's I'm sure it's in the I'm sure it's in the I'm sure it's in the thousands really yeah I I find it so thousands really yeah I I find it so thousands really yeah I I find it so stressful because in Battlefield you die stressful because in Battlefield you die stressful because in Battlefield you die and then you're fod and then they Zoom and then you're fod and then they Zoom and then you're fod and then they Zoom back up into the then you zoom back down back up into the then you zoom back down back up into the then you zoom back down again and then you're another guy on the again and then you're another guy on the again and then you're another guy on the battlefield and you go running back in I battlefield and you go running back in I battlefield and you go running back in I feel like I'm fodder I think that's the feel like I'm fodder I think that's the feel like I'm fodder I think that's the feeling you're supposed to have yeah but feeling you're supposed to have yeah but feeling you're supposed to have yeah but yeah that game is it just uh it's a good yeah that game is it just uh it's a good yeah that game is it just uh it's a good release because you can just I can just release because you can just I can just release because you can just I can just jump in if I've got 20 minutes play jump in if I've got 20 minutes play jump in if I've got 20 minutes play around get my fix are you console or pc around get my fix are you console or pc around get my fix are you console or pc pc in fact I can't use console pc in fact I can't use console pc in fact I can't use console controllers I I'm a mouse and controllers I I'm a mouse and controllers I I'm a mouse and keyboard interesting yeah I just that is keyboard interesting yeah I just that is keyboard interesting yeah I just that is a really interesting thing my son is is a really interesting thing my son is is a really interesting thing my son is is keyboard keyboard keyboard only I can't be precise enough with the only I can't be precise enough with the only I can't be precise enough with the the stick on the stick on the stick on the game controller you you have like a

  12. serious thick plastic no they're not serious thick plastic no they're not there's a whole there's a whole joke there's a whole there's a whole joke there's a whole there's a whole joke right now because there's a a Star Wars right now because there's a a Star Wars right now because there's a a Star Wars Outlaws video game M uh that's uh I I Outlaws video game M uh that's uh I I Outlaws video game M uh that's uh I I love it I played about 35 hours of it love it I played about 35 hours of it love it I played about 35 hours of it but um the the girl in the show punches but um the the girl in the show punches but um the the girl in the show punches the Stormtroopers in the face and the Stormtroopers in the face and the Stormtroopers in the face and they're like helmet punch is not they're like helmet punch is not they're like helmet punch is not realistic and you've just proved that a realistic and you've just proved that a realistic and you've just proved that a helmet punch would be effective yeah it helmet punch would be effective yeah it helmet punch would be effective yeah it would be yeah you you'd break the would be yeah you you'd break the would be yeah you you'd break the helmet and this was um from Return of helmet and this was um from Return of helmet and this was um from Return of the the the Jedi and that is something that Anthony Jedi and that is something that Anthony Jedi and that is something that Anthony Daniels put on his head yep in fact he Daniels put on his head yep in fact he Daniels put on his head yep in fact he uh when I won the auction he signed a uh when I won the auction he signed a uh when I won the auction he signed a photograph of himself saying congrats photograph of himself saying congrats photograph of himself saying congrats mark on winning mark on winning mark on winning this WOW have you ever had any interest this WOW have you ever had any interest this WOW have you ever had any interest in getting into like 3D printing and in getting into like 3D printing and in getting into like 3D printing and making your own helmets no making your own helmets no making your own helmets no no script that's the final thing this no script that's the final thing this no script that's the final thing this was the a script from 1975 you can see was the a script from 1975 you can see was the a script from 1975 you can see it's called the Star Wars so the story it's called the Star Wars so the story it's called the Star Wars so the story is different from the final but this is is different from the final but this is is different from the final but this is the version that 20th Century Fox green the version that 20th Century Fox green the version that 20th Century Fox green lit the movie of based on they green it lit the movie of based on they green it lit the movie of based on they green it based on the just like the Facebook yeah based on the just like the Facebook yeah based on the just like the Facebook yeah and it's called the main character is and it's called the main character is and it's called the main character is Luke Star Luke Star Luke Star Killer oh that is that wow is that yours Killer oh that is that wow is that yours Killer oh that is that wow is that yours from then yeah that's pretty wild uh from then yeah that's pretty wild uh from then yeah that's pretty wild uh 1977 I would have been 1977 I would have been 1977 I would have been three Merry three Merry three Merry Christmas that was 1980 Merry Christmas Christmas that was 1980 Merry Christmas Christmas that was 1980 Merry Christmas 1980 you know like that I've got that

  13. 1980 you know like that I've got that 1980 you know like that I've got that still I've got the the big question still I've got the the big question still I've got the the big question answer book about answer book about answer book about space super important cuz that was the space super important cuz that was the space super important cuz that was the thing when Star Wars came out everyone thing when Star Wars came out everyone thing when Star Wars came out everyone was like well let's talk about space was like well let's talk about space was like well let's talk about space what is an asteroid yeah that's really what is an asteroid yeah that's really what is an asteroid yeah that's really cool yeah and those are all good spines cool yeah and those are all good spines cool yeah and those are all good spines and I've had that sitting around the and I've had that sitting around the and I've had that sitting around the house here for well shoot 40 years so you never got into the 3D years so you never got into the 3D printing no that's your other that's printing no that's your other that's printing no that's your other that's your other hobby right your other hobby right your other hobby right I would say that's probably a fair hob I would say that's probably a fair hob I would say that's probably a fair hob I've got a lot of hobbies 3D printing is I've got a lot of hobbies 3D printing is I've got a lot of hobbies 3D printing is one that you showed me that before that one that you showed me that before that one that you showed me that before that that is really really cool that came that is really really cool that came that is really really cool that came directly off the off the print and then directly off the off the print and then directly off the off the print and then this is just a welder helmet that I cut this is just a welder helmet that I cut this is just a welder helmet that I cut and you can see inside that it's kind of and you can see inside that it's kind of and you can see inside that it's kind of not clean uhhuh it's not it didn't not clean uhhuh it's not it didn't not clean uhhuh it's not it didn't because the the because you wore it when because the the because you wore it when because the the because you wore it when you're you were dirty no that that is you're you were dirty no that that is you're you were dirty no that that is the uh the the filament kind of leaking the uh the the filament kind of leaking the uh the the filament kind of leaking down down down and I haven't even like that came and I haven't even like that came and I haven't even like that came directly you can see the the lines but directly you can see the the lines but directly you can see the the lines but it's minimal minimal so that worked out it's minimal minimal so that worked out it's minimal minimal so that worked out great that's one how long did that take great that's one how long did that take great that's one how long did that take to print uh that was 17 straight to print uh that was 17 straight to print uh that was 17 straight hours came directly off the print sits hours came directly off the print sits hours came directly off the print sits like that and then I had you know had to like that and then I had you know had to like that and then I had you know had to do a little bit of like light light do a little bit of like light light do a little bit of like light light light light sanding but I've got I've light light sanding but I've got I've light light sanding but I've got I've got I want to do a um now I I need to do got I want to do a um now I I need to do got I want to do a um now I I need to do a stormtrooper on principle mhm and then

  14. a stormtrooper on principle mhm and then a stormtrooper on principle mhm and then the these ones this was um a plan from Ada fruit ones this was um a plan from Ada fruit my friend Lam more freed from Ada fruit my friend Lam more freed from Ada fruit my friend Lam more freed from Ada fruit you show me that too that I love that you show me that too that I love that you show me that too that I love that this one's great now you can see that there's some great now you can see that there's some seams where the light comes through I seams where the light comes through I seams where the light comes through I need to cover I don't know if you can need to cover I don't know if you can need to cover I don't know if you can hear it or not yeah I can hear it or not yeah I can hear it or not yeah I can yeah so it's got a micro python uh yeah so it's got a micro python uh yeah so it's got a micro python uh inside there and that was all 3D printed inside there and that was all 3D printed inside there and that was all 3D printed and then there's an LED Loop inside here and then there's an LED Loop inside here and then there's an LED Loop inside here and I just need to figure out how to and I just need to figure out how to and I just need to figure out how to cover these seams it's black cover these seams it's black cover these seams it's black marker yeah that's probably one way to marker yeah that's probably one way to marker yeah that's probably one way to do do do it and it and it and then I've got a then I've got a then I've got a uh this uh this uh this one is uh a bespoke lightsaber that was one is uh a bespoke lightsaber that was one is uh a bespoke lightsaber that was given to me by a net user group so it's given to me by a net user group so it's given to me by a net user group so it's net colored net net colored net net colored net purple lightsaber I don't have any like purple lightsaber I don't have any like purple lightsaber I don't have any like glow Forge high quality whatever they glow Forge high quality whatever they glow Forge high quality whatever they call the super for you know the Saber call the super for you know the Saber call the super for you know the Saber Forge I need to but on the 3D printing prop side I to but on the 3D printing prop side I was very proud of this was very proud of this was very proud of this one this is uh Han Solo

  15. nice and that was 3D printed in about 50 nice and that was 3D printed in about 50 or 60 parts and this is not painted so or 60 parts and this is not painted so or 60 parts and this is not painted so each this is a wood filament from a each this is a wood filament from a each this is a wood filament from a place called protop pasta where they place called protop pasta where they place called protop pasta where they Infuse metal or wood into the plastic to Infuse metal or wood into the plastic to Infuse metal or wood into the plastic to make it look better what wait I don't make it look better what wait I don't make it look better what wait I don't understand so filament is pla right understand so filament is pla right understand so filament is pla right it's this is 3D printed the that wood it's this is 3D printed the that wood it's this is 3D printed the that wood thing this wooden handle is 3D printed thing this wooden handle is 3D printed thing this wooden handle is 3D printed in a wood wood filament so it's like 90% in a wood wood filament so it's like 90% in a wood wood filament so it's like 90% plastic 10% wood smells like wood uh plastic 10% wood smells like wood uh plastic 10% wood smells like wood uh this is a got a carbon fiber you know in this is a got a carbon fiber you know in this is a got a carbon fiber you know in it uh they they Infuse flexs of metal or it uh they they Infuse flexs of metal or it uh they they Infuse flexs of metal or wood or whatever and then you assemble wood or whatever and then you assemble wood or whatever and then you assemble it these are it these are it these are brass so it's still plastic but it's but brass so it's still plastic but it's but brass so it's still plastic but it's but it's brass infused or silver infused and it's brass infused or silver infused and it's brass infused or silver infused and it turns out freaking amazing I mean I it turns out freaking amazing I mean I it turns out freaking amazing I mean I printed that I printed that on a $600 printed that I printed that on a $600 printed that I printed that on a $600 printer printer printer yeah so not as cool as uh getting yeah so not as cool as uh getting yeah so not as cool as uh getting something on a auction but still fun yeah and I've got a bunch of 3D fun yeah and I've got a bunch of 3D printing filament right there Ah that's printing filament right there Ah that's printing filament right there Ah that's what that is yeah oh yeah so all of this what that is yeah oh yeah so all of this what that is yeah oh yeah so all of this I thought it was your C six I thought it was your C six I thought it was your C six cables yeah so for example that would be cables yeah so for example that would be cables yeah so for example that would be the uh you know that would be like the the uh you know that would be like the the uh you know that would be like the the like I could print a C3PO the like I could print a C3PO the like I could print a C3PO head like that now the correct way to do

  16. head like that now the correct way to do head like that now the correct way to do it is you sand it and and putty it and it is you sand it and and putty it and it is you sand it and and putty it and sand it and sand it and then paint it sand it and sand it and then paint it sand it and sand it and then paint it and then do that kind of stuff um that and then do that kind of stuff um that and then do that kind of stuff um that is the part of 3D printing that I find is the part of 3D printing that I find is the part of 3D printing that I find the least glamorous and I try to avoid the least glamorous and I try to avoid the least glamorous and I try to avoid cuz man really really good 3D printers cuz man really really good 3D printers cuz man really really good 3D printers like electr plating mhm people will like electr plating mhm people will like electr plating mhm people will electroplate a 3D print they'll get a electroplate a 3D print they'll get a electroplate a 3D print they'll get a giant bucket and they'll put electricity giant bucket and they'll put electricity giant bucket and they'll put electricity into it and then they'll they'll into it and then they'll they'll into it and then they'll they'll electroplate a a a a I bet you could get electroplate a a a a I bet you could get electroplate a a a a I bet you could get a great Mandalorian helmet with that oh a great Mandalorian helmet with that oh a great Mandalorian helmet with that oh my God so good but the amount of like I my God so good but the amount of like I my God so good but the amount of like I don't have a I would dedicate my garage don't have a I would dedicate my garage don't have a I would dedicate my garage and then I do it now you're gonna nerd and then I do it now you're gonna nerd and then I do it now you're gonna nerd snipe me yes but it's cool because you snipe me yes but it's cool because you snipe me yes but it's cool because you can print all kinds of stuff like can print all kinds of stuff like can print all kinds of stuff like printing a uh this is a it makes a a printing a uh this is a it makes a a printing a uh this is a it makes a a barbell into a um kettle bell a kettle barbell into a um kettle bell a kettle barbell into a um kettle bell a kettle bell bell bell mhm yeah so if you need if you need 3D mhm yeah so if you need if you need 3D mhm yeah so if you need if you need 3D plastic crap come to you plastic crap come to you plastic crap come to you I'm your guy all right I need a I'm your guy all right I need a I'm your guy all right I need a Mandalorian helmet do you Mandalorian helmet do you Mandalorian helmet do you electroplated the electr plating man electroplated the electr plating man electroplated the electr plating man that is the thing I don't know you can't that is the thing I don't know you can't that is the thing I don't know you can't if you're going to do it you need to do if you're going to do it you need to do if you're going to do it you need to do it all the way got to go all the way how it all the way got to go all the way how it all the way got to go all the way how do you struggle with that with the with do you struggle with that with the with do you struggle with that with the with the Hobbies oh let me show you this uh where this one's where this one's interesting and actually instead of interesting and actually instead of interesting and actually instead of doing the camera that way I'll do it doing the camera that way I'll do it doing the camera that way I'll do it like like like this upside down I like

  17. um um that is one of those that is one of those that is one of those foldable metal models have you ever seen foldable metal models have you ever seen foldable metal models have you ever seen these yeah in fact I've got one you can these yeah in fact I've got one you can these yeah in fact I've got one you can buy them in the airport in CC they're so buy them in the airport in CC they're so buy them in the airport in CC they're so hard I I was like this looks too hard hard I I was like this looks too hard hard I I was like this looks too hard for me so I haven't made it it's a for me so I haven't made it it's a for me so I haven't made it it's a fighter I got a yeah and like that's fighter I got a yeah and like that's fighter I got a yeah and like that's page one and there's no instructions so page one and there's no instructions so page one and there's no instructions so it's like imagine an Ikea catalog and it's like imagine an Ikea catalog and it's like imagine an Ikea catalog and then add in tweezers and magnifying then add in tweezers and magnifying then add in tweezers and magnifying glasses and the goal is to make that yeah I I'm this is where yeah that yeah I I'm this is where yeah that's your Source material I'm that's your Source material I'm that's your Source material I'm not so you built just part of it you not so you built just part of it you not so you built just part of it you haven't finished so that's the leg how haven't finished so that's the leg how haven't finished so that's the leg how long did that take that was about four long did that take that was about four long did that take that was about four hours last hours last hours last week but I've got a final one that I've week but I've got a final one that I've week but I've got a final one that I've made on the Shelf over here that's like made on the Shelf over here that's like made on the Shelf over here that's like a smaller uh Optimus smaller uh Optimus Prime just to give you a sense these are Prime just to give you a sense these are Prime just to give you a sense these are and that one's a giant one so that like and that one's a giant one so that like and that one's a giant one so that like that's like the perfect grade Gundam that's like the perfect grade Gundam that's like the perfect grade Gundam kind of a thing mhm kind of a thing mhm kind of a thing mhm ooh how long that one take that was ooh how long that one take that was ooh how long that one take that was probably eight eight hours so I just probably eight eight hours so I just probably eight eight hours so I just kind of like watch Netflix and fold kind of like watch Netflix and fold kind of like watch Netflix and fold metal with metal with metal with tweezers which is a perfectly normal tweezers which is a perfectly normal tweezers which is a perfectly normal hobby for a normal person I didn't hobby for a normal person I didn't hobby for a normal person I didn't realize they don't really tell you how realize they don't really tell you how realize they don't really tell you how involved those things are to make when involved those things are to make when involved those things are to make when you look at

Summary

The main theme is about hobbies and work-life balance, specifically addressing the misconception that success in computing requires exclusively technical pursuits. It touches on the idea of personal fulfillment outside of one's profession, using video games like Battlefield as an example of a stress-relieving hobby. The practical takeaway is that diversifying interests and hobbies, even seemingly non-technical ones, can contribute to overall well-being and inspiration.
