My sister-in-law owns a machine I never knew existed… Size of a printer, but turns images into embroidery

I saw that tech and, must admit, my jaw hit the floor

You know when you suddenly need some tech that you didn’t even know existed five minute before seeing it? Yeah - that feeling 😄

Okay…

1) I’m impressed by the design
2) I’m impressed that this looks like a patch in the flesh (fabric?)

So is this a very convincing digital image or an actual fully fledged patch?

And if you do change the colours, is that then considered a patch upda… what?! It’s not a Dad joke. It’s not! 😆

The one time an ophthalmic technician asks a patient, “please tell me you didn’t see that, right?!”

Ship outfitting

> Funk Sink Launcher

Okay - I jest, but wouldn’t it be nice?!

Hopefully that brought a little smile, hope that funk lifts soon compadre.

Ah - pc version?
Yeah, didn’t have a gaming pc. I was lucky to have an Xbox (a gift)
Didn’t get pc until 2022 - after we lost support for the game on Xbox.
I was convinced loss of Xbox support was game over for me.
I was fortunate to move to pc and I don’t take it for granted. Hard these days.

Thank you Reise
My #EliteVersary is in 1yr
(Purchased end Sept 2015, played October)
Brother beat me to early access & got Cobra MkIV
I followed and we played hours together (I dare not tally the hours!)
We first played Elite together in '84 in multi-crew (me on flight controls him on weapons) ;o)

I can relate. I was xbox player.

For some time, felt I'd never play again. The sense of abandonment hit hard. Had clocked many hours playing Elite with family.

Initially I didn't own a pc. Pawned some silver bullets (Lone Ranger ref) and got one for a return to the game.

Passion or madness?!

Just dawned on me that I'm around 10 or 11 hours late with the #EliteDangerversary ...

....My delayed reply - it's not my fault, it's my horses fault... Honest!

Anyway - re. sharing highlights - I sort of suck at taking pictures in game... Irionic really - was a photographer for many years. ;o)
