  1. Past hour
  2. Comes on the heals of Google's memory compression algorithm announcement. Unfortunately, compression means shifting the work to the CPU/GPU 'cuz now you're making processors do more work and spend time decompressing.
  3. Today
  4. Random sacrilegious thought: Anyone think Alto's Tornado pack might match this scheme?
  5. G'day guys, I just thought I'd drop a few images of my Ninja that I finished last year. It is the first MaK kit in years and went together pretty well except for the large rear tank
  6. They've got bags to pee in, they'll be fiiiiiine. (They've rotated the ship to get more sun on the urine vent and it seems to be working.)
  7. @Papa Rat Alaska Base looks fantastic to me! I like my Valks dirty! @Big s ok, thanks for the recommendation, I'll see if I can find that! Over here the shipyard was very busy this morning! 6 more PE stairs, main railings and 3 other microscopic PE parts plus the flag and I think we can call the Texas DONE sooner than later! It's been a journey! Can't wait to get her across the finish line! 😁
  8. NVIDIA shows Neural Texture Compression cutting VRAM from 6.5GB to 970MB "The easiest example was Neural Texture Compression (NTC) NVIDIA showed its Tuscan Wheels scene dropping from about 6.5GB of VRAM with traditional BCN-compressed textures to 970MB with NTC, while keeping image quality close to the original. The company also said that at the same 970MB memory budget NTC preserved more detail than regular block compression. That kind of optimization means smaller installs, smaller patches, less download bandwidth, and more room for detailed assets on the same GPU."
  9. So it went from burning to freezing. This might be the first crew killed off by toilet issues
  10. Just saw it, fun movie, I really liked it, the highlight was Star Fox.
  11. It has been described as having 60% more volume than Apollo's command module. It also has 33% more crew, but still a net gain. It has also been described as having the same amount of volume as "two minivans". I am thinking of it as a family of four in a motorhome for two weeks. Also, Apollo did not have a bathroom with a privacy door. Or a toilet. Speaking of: The latest with the toilet is that the urine vent has iced up and it is poop-only. As in I have the live stream open right now and they said it as I was typing.
  12. Yeah, military flights sucks and probably why its good experience for astronauts. Never been in a KC-135 but did fly from Kodiak to Attu island in Alaska in a Coast Guard C-130 with some island hopping in between yet somehow I still feel like flying economy overseas is worse, lol.
  13. That 3.0 is a good score. Very intricate. Don’t use lacquers on the ABS parts unless you paint them before assembly. But from what I remember, it doesn’t really need paint and seams are very minimal. if you’ve never seen Gundam, I’d highly highly recommend 08th MS team. It’s a short side story to the og one year war and doesn’t really have a big connection to the main series, so you won’t get lost and it’s probably the best looking of the Gundam franchise while also being short, so you don’t have to spend 50 something episodes on the story. It’s also pretty easy to find streaming since out here it’s on Hulu and a few other spots. It’s also one of those shorter stories that’s better and feels more complete than most of the longer ones. Again I can’t stress how highly I’d recommend that one.
  14. Amazon offered me a month of PRIME for free so I signed up for a month of ad-free video. This season of INVINCIBLE is one of the best yet!
  15. Just pre-ordered this as a birthday gift, as it is slated to come out in October, my birthday month. I am excited! I really like the color scheme! Twich
  16. It looks like she's spent a couple winters in Alaska. Well done!!!
  17. MMC Feral Rex has KO's out there. Not sure this is that as the holes on the shoulder bots are different. Only Predakings I have are the Titan and the reissued G1 Platinum Predaking that came out a few years back.
  18. Thanks for posting the vid the N-Ger looks great!
  19. I mean, yeah, he looks like Clint Eastwood there...hey, which valk looks like the Firefox MiG-31 again? Maybe we have another winner in the works. πŸ˜„
  20. Plamax VF-1 Alaska scheme. Just using an unfinished Hasegawa stand for photo purposes. I would like to get a brass rod and make my own stand later. This was a fun one, but think it’s a bit sloppy. 🀷 don’t mind the dog hair πŸ˜‚
  21. Or a fully loaded KC-135 headed for deployment. Bonus, no floor heat, so if you're unlucky enough to be stuck in the jump seats, your lower legs and feet freeze while you overheat from the waist up. A water bottle left on the floor for a long-duration trip will freeze, so it's not the most comfortable flight. I guess the Integrity crew were getting cold in the capsule and they were working on bumping up their heat. That'll be a long ten days if the heater breaks. Jim Lovell and his crew survived with their heat very low to off, so one assumes it's survivable, but with everything else they need to do during the mission, I'd rather they be warm and cozy while doing it.
  22. Hope you enjoy! Praying that someone scans theirs eventually because of all the previously-inaccessible art of the game Valkyries and such.
  23. What a good score!
