Ah, Buenavista, yesā¦ really great art. 
Might be something to think aboutā¦
But I must admit, I pushed the further development of my tattoo a bit into the background lately 
And Cologne is still closer to my home than WĆ¼rzburg, so - scars first!

Already happened (in another thread) 
I personally think @Coma fits in the āfar too strong & independent to require anyone acting on her behalfā category, so no point in vocalising anything myselfā¦
(actually there is quite an interesting catch22 in this aspect)
but reading some of @anon3825968ās desperate attempts sure add new layers to my concept of Cringy!

Iāve loved their work for years. Their style is a lot more modern than I wanted on my own body (the bulk of my tattoos have linework to mimic woodblock prints or scrimshaw) but I decided to do all of mine/have all of mine done in black or red as well because it looked so striking and clean, it really compliments the style Iām going for and I love how it layers. My first tattoo was full color, though.

All in good fun. Remember: there is a Mr. Coma, and I donāt like loose teeth.
So when I first saw the design, I thought it was a 20 sided die in the center. Like what they use in D&D. I figure Itās either just a random design, or itās something not in my experience. Either way, the circuit board portion is what I find really interesting.
I did/do as well.
My first thought went to the icosahedron from Odesza right away. I guess I associated it with sacred geometry. I have never rolled a 20 sided die, so I would have never thought of that.
I tried it once. But, only once, and I didnāt inhale.

Iām literally 3D printing plastic daggers designed to hold a set of dice, with the pomel being a gold d20
becoming the nerd in a group of cyborgs was unexpected lol

Donāt worry - I show him some posts here from time to time, and he shares our humour Heās veeery relaxed with all that. Otherwise, I think he couldnāt bear my attitude
I didnāt see that before - thanks! Looks very similar, maybe my artist got some inspiration thereā¦ thing is, if you work in bodymods (especially around tattoo artists), you seem to gain a very good feeling for shapes and geometry, at least many of the artists I know just āfeelā what design will be fitting.
Did some P&P once (Vampire: The Masquerade - yes, itās clichĆ© 
), had a terrible storyteller and never did it again - but I really like the community! Creating worlds āout of nothingā is pretty impressive, I thinkā¦

Are you going to be selling them anywhere? This sounds like a cool as hell future birthday gift for a buddy who GMs/DMs.
Youāre not alone.
Itās not my design, but I should have additional plastic of the various colors
Iāll post a pic when Iām done
Made good progress on my car ignition project today. I wanted to be double check how my ignition switch worked + figuring out the actual pinout, before I could finalize the board design and send it off to be made. So, I went to the junkyard, found a car the same model as mine, and spent about 45 minutes ripping out the ignition switch. Would have been easier, but I didnāt think to bring a 1 foot long socket extension with me (needed to remove the lower dash panel, had some crazy deep bolts), so I had to just cut it out from the front. Thankfully a lot of my assumptions were validated, just gonna spend some time today triple checking pinouts and making some notes on paper for continuity on each key position. It has 9 pins, but it seems that quite a few are redundant. The ignition switch obviously came with a lock I didnāt have the key for (and neither did the junkyard), but thankfully, I do locksport 
I would definitely recommend anyone else do the same if they plan on doing a similar project, having a spare ignition switch to test with has been a huge help. Not having to half disassemble my dash and having to risk my car not being able to start was well worth the money. The $30 it cost will also be well worth it if it stops me from shorting something out and breaking my body control module.
In other news, I got some more PN532 breakouts ordered, and my PinePhone comes Thursday. Iāll post a write-up for the NFC case Iām making for that as well, hopefully that should only take a day to finish. 3D printing the NFC case itself will take the longest time. Assuming everything goes well with that, Iāve also started on a super basic touch NFC app for the PinePhone, just enough to pull UIDs and hopefully NDEF records. libnfc is compatible with the PN532 over I2C, so it shouldnāt be insanely awful to implement. Should be a good project for learning mobile Linux toolkits, too.
The Pinecil is still somewhere in China it seems. It shipped about a week ago, but China Post is not quick. Should definitely have paid for DHL for it, would have been well worth it it seems.

I like that idea, incredibly strong, and on the off chance you do some how manage to break it, it will explosively remove itself, saving you from a costly removal fee!

Andre the giant hand size comparison.
Andre.
Myself.
Conclusion: not sure really. Just thought of this with all the hand size talk going on.
