godddd these are UTTERLY incredible

MOTH AND LOPER!! YEAH!!! ft. @heavenhearst under the goggles... The mindspike articulates and is motorized... it gave up the goat literally as soon as the cosplay contest ended, lol Did not get to finish the lenticular film glasses in time, but such is life!!!! We got 4th place honorable mention in the group costume contest so i am pretty happy :) further thoughts and WAY more images below!

loper thoughts we know from the game that Loper is in some kind of hazard gear, so i gave them the jumpsuit (in the tradition of ellen ripley, real astronauts, and ghostbusters) as opposed to a labcoat or anything like that. we took in the waist to make it fit better. i think with the mindspike on, it made the resemblance even stronger.... these ghostbusters did not quite get why i was so amused at taking a photo with them, but i think this is a pretty good image nonetheless.

observin' makes me feel good! and speaking of the mindspike: this is my first time working on anything to this level-- I am not a robotics person! hell of a learning experience & i already have plans for version 2. mindsci i am not but i think i did pretty ok... the spike has two controllers: a modified slotcar controller & a separate knob that sits in one of the pockets (controls left/right axis). the other knob is pretty discreet and allows for puppeting the spike without a bright yellow Device in my hands. the RCA jacks on the back hooked up to Moth's laptop, so for photos it looks like they are hooked up to the spike and taking readings.

the claw was made nearly 1:1 to the game model to save on time and weight. con crunch wahoo! some extras: i put together fake 'e-paper' displays for our ids. if you have seen my prior posts, these will look familiar! i had a blast designing a seal for the FBX and a layout for these ids. i wanted to give them a better finish (hide the obvious 3d printing), but.. time crunch.. oops... the Moth id also has a little incandescent bulb in it, though I have no photos of it active. for my gloves, i intended to use gloves for high-voltage electrical work, but i was allergic to the latex, so i grabbed some dishwashing gloves off amazon and glued the label to them, hehe.

shoutout to the tf2 medic who was wearing the same pair of gloves! moth thoughts for moth, we had the benefit of the wonderful official cosplay by Shaman-- which you can see all over corru.store! (thank you shaman for the pointers!!!) Heaven thought it would be fun to take him in a more "I'M IN!" direction, so our Moth has painted nails and fingerless gloves and a great big coat over his button-down and slacks. complimented with some pins from hot topic and i think he assembled a pretty comprehensive vibe! i made the goggles out of some blue LEDs, rice paper, and a pair of costume goggles off Amazon. they are entirely opaque. moth is just such a gamer he knows exactly where everything is anyway.

you can also see the FBX patch that is present on both our Loper and Moth!

everything else wtf you read this far? cool! i don't really have anything else to add... but maybe you will see Loper at Supercon Miami in 2025.... only time will tell.....

oh, wow. I am so doing this that’s fantastic

I found a guide for a no tape, easy to unwrap wrapping tutorial to make Christmas a little more accessible, wish I just found it sooner

OP you’re so right

it’s funny, I often see people write Webber (when they include him) as a mute child and… he is a child but he’s not mute. instead he sounds like a bunch of metal ropes banging together and I think that’s funnier.

also the whole “lost in translation” thing would be so interesting. He can talk, but knows a language no one else does. His vocal cords might not even be able to produce the right sounds at all. So yeah I think he learns sign language, but sometimes he forgets to (like when working on strange contraptions) and so he just turns a round and goes “BRNBRBRBRBR”

not to vaguely post about a niche problem that bothers me specifically as if it is some sort of universal experience, but a niche thing just bothered me specifically.

I saw a blog that had, among a couple other things that were only marginally less bewildering, had ‘ageless blogs’ in their DNI list. Like what? do I not get to have even half an ounce of illusory privacy on this app? I’m just a little tired of the ‘everyone must be completely transparent about all of their personal details and identifying labels or else they are A Creep’ sentiment, as if someone determined to be A Creep wouldn’t just happily manufacture a convincing set of traits and attributes to assign themselves. I don’t see it everywhere but that person’s list was an interesting crystallization of the phenomenon.

IDK. People are out there living their lives and if someone wants to never interact with a blog that doesn’t post an age, I suppose I have no practical way or convincing reason to stop them. But I am allowed to find it a little baffling.

NO!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!

I love this love this LOVE THIS love ALL OF THIS yes PLEASE!!

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
