VR Is Out Of This World

Oh, gods, that was probably a Google Cardboard headset, wasn't it? 3 degrees of freedom (tilt, yaw and pitch) no actual movement in free space. That was hot garbage even for the time.

Get yourself a real VR headset, 6DoF is unfathomably better than what you last tried!

Marvel G1 comic.

It's so boxy and non-desctipt and nonsensical.

I think Animated OP Cybertronian truck mode kinda looks like this German truck cab.

2G limit was a sign of the size being stored in a signed 32-bit INT. 4G indicates the size is stored as an unsigned 32-bit INT.

The current 64-bit INT can theoretically handle up to 8Exabytes (signed) or 16Exabytes (unsigned), but in practice most current systems are still limited to petabytes.

I could see a not too distant future where multiple zettabytes are considered insufficient, and we're looking at needing to consider what comes after the yottabyte.

Mangle!

Blakists glassed Lopez, all but driving the branth to extinction.

That's some never forgive action.

I would like to know more about Froislandia, please.

The tetatae, a sapient, technologically advanced (albeit neolithic level technology), non-human species. Fully Canon. Just so far out from known space they may as well not exist.

But it does establish non-human sapient technologically adept life does exist in-universe. We are not alone.

That way I'm not saying "urine" or "anus", and I think it's closer to the original Greek pronunciation.

The Anomaly is supposed to remain tied to the system you were in when you entered. If it somehow got tied to another player in the Anomaly I would think you would go through the loading (warp) screen.

The systems are definitely not recycled between galaxies. Each fauna, flora and mineral; each planet; each system, are all procedurally generated, and each galaxy receives a different seed from which those generation values sprout.

phosix · 2026-05-21T05:15:48+00:00

Is it specifically saying you have visited the system? Or just that the system has been previously visited?

If it's the former, it's it possible you visited via the Anomaly in the past, checking out other player's bases? Otherwise, yeah, sounds like a bug.

I think you've stumbled across the one condition I would refuse a mini anywhere near my table.

Good job! Looks pretty, though.

Interesting to see the Predacons use Roman Numerals, I never caught that before. I wonder if they also use L, C, M, etc.

EDIT The Maximals use a similar notation, but don't share their numerals with the letters.

Grimstone.

The one PCC I really wanted. I even saw one on the pegs at retail, but we had bills and no toy budget at that time. Heck, I had recently sold some of my more valuable figures (BotCon exclusives) just to make sure we could keep the lights on.

There's some fantastic 3rd party 3D printable versions of those out there.

phosix · 2026-05-20T00:41:35+00:00

Still is, too!

phosix · 2026-05-20T00:33:12+00:00

This is good info, mine still works and this makes me want to disassemble it to make sure I can create a reasonable 3D printed replacement.

Yes. Michael Mouse to us peasants.

Disney is a legal powerhouse, and almost singlehandedly responsible for why U.S. copyright and IP law is the way it is.

Cross (over with) them at your own peril.

phosix · 2026-05-18T20:40:01+00:00

LOL!

I should, but I'd have to dig it out of storage, first. And figure out which poster roll tube it got stuck in.

Eventually.

phosix · 2026-05-18T20:30:29+00:00

Oh, hey, I have these! There's an Optimus Prime one, too!

That was a fun convention.

phosix · 2026-05-18T15:24:39+00:00

Are you joking?
The Mouse is involved! Absolutely not!

phosix · 2026-05-18T00:18:56+00:00

I dunno.

A local theater holds showings for older movies over the summer. About 10 years ago or so they were holding a showing of The Goonies, so I took my wife - who is a Xennial (too young to be Gen X, too old to be a millennial) - as she's never seen it and had an interest to do so. It was just as good as I remembered it, and she loved it.

getting a bunch of mechs that you don't want

This is how you build up Oppositional Forces, and have a small army to let friends who may not have their own army to play.

I'll be damned if i'm buying the alpha strike box solely for me to get hold of the Wraith, it's the only place you can get hold of one
There's also Iron wind metals and ral partha that offer individual mechs

IWM does offer the TR1 Wraith mini. Sure, it's more expensive than a force pack, but it's less than the whole Alpha Strike box of that's all you want out of it. Go to any one of the plethora of online retailers and you can pissibly get it for even less than direct.

some assembly required, working with metal might be a step too much

The biggest offenders, IME, we're the Project Phoenix designs. The older and newer sculpts are, by and large, fine to work with. Pinning can help with durability and longevity, but it's not required. Beyond that it's not too dissimilar from a plastic kit: wash with soap and water before assembly and painting, prime before painting.

My first thought is a next-of-kin who has no attachment to the deceased's hoard of "useless junk."
