In all fairness Bandai is injection molding models they sell by the millions based off popular IP's like Star Wars. These guys are making kits in the hundreds/thousands so tooling up with $100k's in injection molding equipment and molds is not justified so they're doing like most 'cottage' companies have done for decades, producing niche kits in low numbers for a small audience. Before printers everything was cast or vacuum formed but now you can use print resin to produce extremely detailed and delicate models. I hate grifters as much as the next guy but their asking price is not out of scale with what it costs in time and materials. Compare their work with real capitalist shitheads like Forgeworld who sell super basic and blocky (read: super easy to generate and produce in rubber molds) models with no cockpits/interiors etc that they sell for hundreds/thousands of dollars to Warhammer idiots. FW profit margins have multiple zeros behind them for their hack work as opposed to the Citizens putting legit effort into making rad models of lovely subjects

If it weren't for the way that vtube seems to really really really want to reduce women to horny 2D cartoon caricatures, I'd say it was a great and interesting new space for trans exploration. God knows that teenage me would have appreciated having a place to experiment at being accepted as a woman without risk to life or reputation. But I'm not sure it would have been as healthy if I'd thought it meant putting on bunny ears and saying stuff like "Come on my tentacles, senpai!"

Some more 3.12 leaks including an album of gas cloud images here. Full disclosure: I think they look fine, I just think it's funny that they are dotting these around the one extant system. It feels like another confession that Stanton is all the game is ever going to have, and they need to dress it up a bit to make it distinct. Also the Idris put in another appearance this patch:  but, The Leak posted:The landing gear appear to be stuck in the down position. When ETFs attempted to engage it, the Idris fired once and then the server crashed.  New mining UI looks like it has less greebley meters all over, which is good:  New refinery deck may actually have *gasp* an associated gameplay use? Say it's not so!   Luv 2 wait even longer for my ores to process before I find out if a 30k or other server error has stolen the last hour of my work

Those big stupid blocky landing gear make it look like a GI Joe toy and ruin any attempts at conveying it as a huge ship. What I'm saying is, buy an Idris!

See what I mean? What was he gonna do with that shotgun in an empty field of flowers even if he had been able to equip it? No targets to shoot for miles- interesting. I will give them a bit of credit though, that field actually did look nice. Along with the snowy mountains in the background. There's still fuckall to do there, and the ship didn't work right, and I honestly expected him to clip through the ground both when he stepped out of the ship and when he crouched down under the ship to try to grab the gun... Sunswipe posted:Were you looking at the same video clip I was? Cos I'll happily mock anyone who appears to think that breasts move around like two bags of angry cats. Yeah those boobies were weird. I actually tried to watch a bit of his twitch video. I consider myself VR-curious but the graphics in his medieval tavern game were hideous... If there had been interesting gameplay to balance off that then I could forgive it, but they just kind of stood around holding mugs. I'm going to assume his heavy breathing was just due to the mic being too close to his mouth, but he also kept making these little moan sounds and I really don't want to know why. maybe he was imagining adding a few more fans to his PC?

It's definitely addicting and all those holds must be filled with something.

Sure it can hurt and ache after a couple good bounces but I don't think I recall any of the boob-physics enabled characters or cartoons complaining about it much, so I'm ok with it on them! And I like boob armor too

I agree that it looked good. I even liked how you could store stuff on your ship behind a mystery panel that didn't even need a chess piece to open. It's cool that they got it I guess. But it's not cool that they have gone to all the trouble to try to make it work and there's no benefit to it. I've seen how exciting procedural stuff is in No Man's Sky and countless other games. Sure you have a cool thing, but that cool thing is in lots of places, and it's non-interactive. It's good for a screenshot and a "going on a safari!" type screenshot or something... and I guess that's how you get $330M with an art team.

The biggest waste is CR's idea of "physically based everything". He could've used metaphors and other animation-rigged placeholders to open "hidden" UI's and other hidden compartments. These things don't need to be represented in the games "reality". They just need to work.
