Wanted to say that looks awesome and I love the LED sequence. Is that a Pi, Arduino, or custom stuff powering that?

Just an Arduino powering a string of WS2812 RGB LEDs.
They could've been just white LEDs, but this way i can make the tone shift slightly from warm to actinic white as it "warms up".

In the vid it's hooked up to an Arduino Uno i had lying on my desk, but the plan is to stuff something smaller inside the casing itself once it's finished.

All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

The obvious parallel is the Titanic, but I like to think of CIG as the Britannic, who went down trying to bring hope to a bunch of invalids.

Plus I'd rather be thought of as the Kaiserliche Marine than an iceberg.

In all fairness to the Titanic they did at least finish it before it sank.

I hope Peter Gabriel might use it for a final video. The cryptic lyrics could be aimed right at Chris and the etherial space rock music builds to that apocalyptic climax (better in the original track than the video version as it's extended.)

But alas, I'm still not ready to believe the end is here. It's been called too often and I'm paranoid about groupthink, given the ravages it makes of the spergosphere...

True. I know it wasn't a White Star Line ship, but the Vasa sank like 4500 feet into her maiden voyage. I think she was considered "complete" too though.

So, CCP shot their marketing emails out about EVE Valkyrie's launch trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TmMIGOevis

Quick background for those that don't know what it is.

It's a VR focused video game taht was initially presented to the EVE community & video games in general back in 2013 as the result of a small dev team working on it during their 20% time (Google it). The following year CCP announced they were going to make it into a full game and it has since been tied to the Oculus Rift, Sony Morpheus, etc. with arguably the first ever VR game tournament held in 2015 (maybe 2014 I forget).

I look forward to the angry posting by the Citizens over it, and you should too.

New :tinfoil: Theory: revamping the dev forum is to introduce the community to the devs of an external publisher who have bought CIG. CIG had no choice because they were about to go bankrupt.
