The weapon maintenance is the kind of utterly nerd-ass level of detail that just puts a smile on my face. 😏

They then made a pachi-slot machine based on the JPEG.

For fuck’s sake!

Hahaha, as a kid back in the ‘90s, I bought a couple sealed boxes of those G.I. Joe cards at the dollar store for the heck of it. (They were literally a dollar a box!)

I can’t help but smirk when I see stuff like this... Some of it, yeah, okay. It’s still overpriced, but you’re actually paying for something reasonable.  A $600 t-shirt on the other hand just makes me giggle internally at what I view as the inevitable consumer reckoning; as dumb as some people are being lately, people…

Indeed! I’m still laughing my ass off at the idea of her using what—judging by the size—has to be a really expensive apartment, as a glorified walk-in closet. 😂 And I assume she’s paying utilities on it too, to keep it climate-controlled and so there’s light when she visits. 🤔 Crazypants! 😅

Ooo, good point! I was thinking strictly of the primary construction materials...not adhesives and surface finishes. Hot glue is definitely no substitute for something like Barge on EVA foam.

The degradation of both Jim Henson and Lucasfilm ‘creature’ libraries has to do with the use of natural latex-based foams and rubbers throughout the industry in the 70s-90s. Modern creature fx—and makeup fx ‘appliances’—are made of very different materials. (Silicone comes to mind.)

Jeez, I sure wish I had an apartment as nice as the place she uses as costume storage. That’s crazy! 😅

I don’t doubt it... There were gajillions of Model M keyboards out there during the IBM PS/2 era. I’ve always found it strange how popular they are in the Mechanical Keyboard community, given that they’re not mech keebs in the modern sense—i.e. discrete key switches—but simply by benefit of not being a membrane or…

Yep, I feel ya there. I’ve been typing for 38 of my nearly 41 years... But never underestimate neuroplasticity; A number of years ago I had to start typing on ergo keyboards to keep my hands from just shriveling up and dropping off...it took some getting used to, but now I’m able to type faster and in more comfort…

14,018 now; I’ve spent like 30 more hours in VR since making that comment... 😅

Four hundred bucks and it looks like your generic RGB-laden G4M3R keeb. Please. This is what a real ‘high-end keyboard’ looks like:

I laughed myself stupid when this showed up in my TL... The replies didn’t help. 🤣

I can’t speak to the comfort of traditional 3D movies...I’ve only ever watched them in VR... (Watching Gravity is the closest I’ve ever gotten to being uncomfortable in VR...but that had more to do with the fear of suffocating in the void.) But the most common cause for these sorts of issues in VR is the HMD’s IPD…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve spent a hair under 14,000 hours in VR, and never experienced any motion sickness or headaches. It’s unfortunate how many people seem to be physiologically-incapable of experiencing virtual reality. 😕

Well, that’s unfortunate for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No VR games? 😕

Shipbreaker is an absolutely fantastic game. Only negative thing I can say about it, is I’d give anything for a VR mode.
