    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.)

    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.

    They got the toilet fixed. After turning it off and on again. ... And then had problems connecting their tablets to Wi-Fi. "I have two Outlooks and neither one works." is now a sentence that was uttered across the gulf of space, as is "We're going to power-cycle the toilet." The future is dumb. Possibly the most mundane problems in the history of space exploration, which I guess is a good thing. Hopefully the working toilet means the number of times official mission transcripts include the phrase "there's a turd floating through the air" remains one.

    Especially if they can't get the toilet fixed. They might be spending the next ten days bagging it like Apollo.

    https://www.nasa.gov/live/ Here's where NASA's official stream's gonna show up. And "Spaceflight Now" is living up to the second half of their name, they're currently streaming the rocket sitting on the launchpad lookin' all pretty.

    Best thread on the forum!

    I've always really liked Clamp's style with Rayearth, and while it has been a few years, I swear some of those shots are just straight-up "we traced the comic page, then made it move". And I mean that in the best possible way. Also, I am hoping that this gets wide viewing, and I get to watch a whole new generation flip their tables when the heroes save Cephiro!

    I laughed in an incredibly juvenile manner at this.

    My intended point was that previously they have spent a lot of effort in making sure their AI upscaler's output still looked like it was game output, and now they're just letting it do whatever. It has been freed from the constraints that were needed to make people think it was ever a good idea, in an attempt to create a feature that goes beyond upscaling and into "enhancement".

    I heard he actually died four years ago, it just took Death this long to work up the courage to tell Chuck.

    I suspect the purple toes were brought in from the toy to keep the lower legs from looking too simple. Also the big chunky kneecaps, which seem to be from Soundwave more than any version of Bombshell. I suspect THAT was done to make Bombshell's legs look meaningfully different from Shrapnel's. It isn't really a good change, they look out of place on Bombshell's very-rounded body and absolutely wreck his beetle mode. It is, however, better than the original toy legs in robot mode, but I'd be very impressed if they managed to be worse.

    I mean, that's what DLSS has been from the start. They're just taking the chains off now.

    Actually, I think Shrapnel's animation model is true to the toy there. In humanoid mode, he has guns hanging below his wrists, not bug legs. They magically turn into bug legs when he transforms in the cartoon.It's a hard detail to implement at most sizes, and doubly so at this size. And I actually like Shrapnel with bug legs, despite a general toy-styling preference. I think his undercarriage was the least bug-like of the three, and it stuck out to me when seeing my friends' Bombshell and Kickback next to my Shrapnel. For the size, this is a really good Shrapnel, and it is much easier to forgive the missing toy details in something so small. And honestly; with the cartoon being so faithful to the toys here, there's not really a lot missing, just some colored stripes and a pair of vents that are near-impossible to add at this size... but the cartoon chest window's very wrong.

    Omigosh! He's almost small enough to ride in the original Insecticon's cockpit!

    The collapse of the Soviet Union is a good marker for divergence.I know they've gone back and revised "Soviet Union" into "Russian Federation", but it is a huge change in the world they couldn't predict or account for.
