99% of the time they are 3d printed in resin and hand painted. The most laborious part of the process is the 3d modeling. If it's 28mm scale, then there's probably $2-$5 of materials involved depending on the quality of the resin used.
Is it exceptionally difficult to sculpt for the 3D printing? Using material cost alone isn't a great metric, you'd want to add time to design and paint as well, but if it's printed the design time should be distributed by number of expected sales to reduce price and increase interest.
My guess is that it's a marketing stunt but maybe Musk managed to turn it around to the point that he can do that.
journos were saying mastodon was gonna replace Twitter but abandoned it when they realized the people who run it don't want to give journos all their demands
The best part of Mastodon was them joining it and everyone from commies to Nazis shitting on journos and then them being amazed that a free platform with minimal censorship treated them as they should be treated. Twitter is still a very sanitized version of the Internet where people like Rekieta's friends can get people banned for offending them at the drop of a hat.
It is a bit of a long story, but Elon Musk has been attempting to court more advertisers to return to the platform, over the last few months.
There's just something that especially pisses me off about a private company telling you to give them money to "fight the commies" "stop woke culture" "protect your freedom of speech" etc etc
You can get 3D models designed by people for $30-$50 if you know where to look and who to ask.
Nothing says "Fighting the woke."
I'm always amazed how people don't realize that all of the youtubers shilling coffee don't actually own their own factory/company like they claim just from how many there are and how commonly it's offered as merch.
I hope soon. I hope he finds inspiration and puts out a concept album, like Kiss' Songs of the Elder. Every song he's ever wanted to publish, in a double album with liner notes filled with Easter eggs. The type of project Tim Pool would believe should be in a time capsule or sent into deep space.
I watched yesterdays episode and it was much nicer. Especially as it didn't have the Tim's imagination segment where he derails the conversation for five minutes to talk about how cool it would be if Donald Trump built an Iron Man suit and fought DeSantis who was riding Megatron or some other dumb shit.
oh God, when tim does those "imagine this/what if" derailments it reminds me of righties giving their 1000th "imagine if the roles were reversed" whiny statement. Kind of taking the "IRL" from Timcast when he does that. Or maybe just the L.
At least cuckservatives are pointing out the hypocrisy. Tim brings up Marvel references because he has nothing to add to the conversation.oh God, when tim does those "imagine this/what if" derailments it reminds me of righties giving their 1000th "imagine if the roles were reversed" whiny statement.

The most annoying part about it for me is it's always the same and it's always capeshit or how his friend is going to be the owner of the world or something. It adds nothing to the show and it always derails an actually interesting conversation.
