Like the Nikes worn by Olympians are $90+... Seriously, any good shoe is fucking expensive, whether you've got extreme cushioning or minimalist soles. Get the stick out of your ass.

Again, not the problem.

Don't ever go to the Khyber Pass then.

It's the exact same model, called the Liberator. The 3D printer is probably lower resolution than the one available to the UT students. And a shop can't have multiple tools in it? Those are fully 3D printed, the only metal is a nail inserted as the firing pin.

I hope you realize it's possible to make an AK-pattern automatic rifle out of a shovel with parts that are perfectly legal to ship anywhere in the world, an acetylene torch and a hammer. And for far less money than a 3D printer costs. The engineer in me loves all the people discovering the uses of 3D printers, but…

You and your insane jacket.

I'm going to get an illegal Viking funeral, complete with archer shooting a flaming arrow at the doused ship.

Uh, no, no it doesn't. This is pretty awful and I don't think I'm ever going to understand the appeal of Sailor Moon. The artwork is as good as it can be for emulating this style, though.

Yes, because turning into a ball is completely within character for her. People are trying to defend the decision to give her heels by saying things like "it puts her foot at the perfect angle for kicking someone in the face, reducing injury to toes or ankles" or "people like Ming-Na Wen can kick ass in heels" when…

Guess you never heard of the Golden Horde in all those history classes you took. The majority of which was cavalry, meaning the majority was wearing what? A heeled shoe. The same as any cavalry.

Wow, dude, you managed to pick the one Wikipedia article that had no viable sources, and also managed to claim that 14th Century Persians were ruled by descendants of the Khans. Good going you fucking dumbass. (I'll freely admit I should have said "with few exceptions" but at least I was closer to the nail then you…

What you're not getting is that it doesn't matter if a boot has a .50 cal mounted to it if it forces you to walk, run and fight in an unnatural way. She's still a human being and in the Zero Suit, those rockets are strapped to a pair of normal, albeit muscled and well-trained, legs. Rocket boots without the heels…

That's me actually, asshole, and in case you didn't notice I actually quoted 3 Tumblr users I disagreed with and 2 I agreed with to illustrate my own perspective on the matter, and provide clarification as to where my point of view is coming from.

Wow, good to know that you think a five inch heel meant solely for the purpose of accentuating the female figure is the same as the short heels on riding boots. Also, guess what? Only American and European cavalry wore those kind of boots.

Uh, I cried foul at least. It's shitty design, whether it's on a man or woman. Heels are bad for all non-horse-riding combat and both Raiden and ZS Samus's heels are a very ugly design on top of being stupid.

High heels force our bodies into a position that requires us to tighten our muscles in our butts, which accentuates that region of our body and makes it much more attractive. This is great when we ladies want to have a night out on the town or attract mates. It's also fucking awful for combat.

Given the questions you keep asking about modeling and 3D animation, it's pretty fucking obvious you've never played Zero Mission. Go play it then come back.

But they are. Have you ever ran or fought in high heels? I have. And I can definitively say that every time a video game designer puts a character in high heels, they prove they haven't, and care only for the effect high heels have on a woman's posture.

Finally, someone fucking pulled out the facts instead of just making ridiculous blanket statements about misunderstandings from internet fact engines.

Worn by warriors? Good fucking lord. They were worn by rich men who sat at the back of the battlefield drinking tea, not by warriors. Go take a fucking history class.
