If you look at the original image, the arm is in the right place. I'm guessing they had to re-shop the arm tighter in to get it printed. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239709734/star-traders/posts/1525957 loving pathetic.

I allow myself one nerd toy per season. For Spring it's a 4K monitor, no buyer's regret it's pretty awesome and 8k would make my PC explode so waiting for the next gen GPUs for that. If poo poo's as cool as you say summer's looking like a VR headset and hanging with the diamond frogs whether rift or vive I currently dunno.

Look, while we are at it, something has been bugging me for a while, I didn't say anything because it is insane, but in light of recent developments, doesn't this: Have an uncanny resemblance to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w0uC7zheXY

ideate posted:wait someone posted this already and I missed it right Hilariously if you look at the pelvis area somebody clearly made the cardboard standee slightly thinner than the original model. Which means somebody not only photoshopped the image but judged that Jessica Biel is too zaftig accurately represent Sandi.

I've tried delving, and it's tough to work out where they stole crobert's body from, though I'm 100% sure it's another shop, because they weirdly left the oxygen hose that should lead to the helmet that the poor unfortunate soul was wearing pre-decapitation to make room for the mighty thumb.

Haskell9 posted:Oculus Rift vs Vive. You're thoughts? I don't have any loyalty to either but I see more long term potential in a Valve partnership than a Facebook one for my personal use. The hardware specs / optics I am not bothered about, both will be good enough but having Valve on board is a big factor for me. I will get both eventually though just because it's my thing. Audio I do not care about as I have issues with hearing that make anything other than a loud speaker pointless

It's a photoshop for sure, it will be found out in time. You either have the talent in house or not to do that stuff and they don't as proved by the Sandi one

her using a SUPER old photo (in terms of hollywood use) reminds me of Entourage when the loser brother uses headshots from like 20 years ago and everyone is surprised when he shows up to castings. that will be sandi when shes 60 (next year) still using headshots from when she was 12.

Mechanism Eight posted:Have you much experience with Elite yourself? If your host has the Horizons expansion see what you think of planetary landings and takeoffs. IMO It's a truly gamechanging experience going from zipping around a system, out of frameshift onto an actual, no-poo poo planet-sized object in VR. to the point where I dont play it on a monitor any more Same here, the landing stuff, even just flying low is staggering. I can spend a night looking for interesting places. It's really something
