My ideas for this collab:
Skin:
→ 1982 film version of Rick Deckard (pretty obvious since fortnite already has Harrison Ford face from previous skins)
→ K from blade runner 2049 in his jacket would be cool to see , since Ryan Gosling is not in a game yet. There could be 2 versions clean and version from the end of the movie
Gliders:
→ LAPD Spinner or just a regular spinner is must see, it would be such a lost opportunity if they will not make it into a glider
Pickaxe:
This one is hard, since I can't really recall any melee weapons used in this franchise, so it probably would be something either created from scratch or no pickaxe skin for this collab
→ I guess Spinner inspired pickaxe, which might be like a plasm cutter
→ LAPD 2019/2049 Blaster inspired pickaxe
Backbling:
→ If Rick Deckard appears, metallic origami unicorn might be a cool backling resembling Gaff or miniature version of Voight-Kampff Machine or more simplier idea of just LAPD 2019 Blaster replica
→ If K appears, small dancing hologram of Joi or simply Emanator, or LAPD 2049 Blaster or wooden toy horse with "6.10.21"
Emote:
There could be tons of cool possiblities
→ Joi dance from advertisments with maybe Doja Cat song (I know its not related to BR, but still, it was popular in BR trend in Tiktok
→ Emote where K gets his Emanator where miniature purple Joi appears and he looks at her like in that popular meme
→ Baseline Test maybe with "interlink" dialog
→ Voight-Kampff Test Emote that can be used with other players
→ Street Noodles could be a little easter egg emote to Rick Deckard
→ Miniature Spinner emote where main character controls it like a RC car
Be sure to express your own ideas and I would be happy to read them
Just noticed this for the first time!
2049 is here.
Conceptual Animation made in blender. Tried to see Joi from the different room and a different perspective. Lmk your thoughts❤️
Finally getting through my back log of TV shows I fell upon starting Blade Runne: Black Lotus next, only two episodes into Black Lotus and it definitely doesn't deserve the hate or negative reviews I have read online. Yes the facial animations are a strange choice and could of been better but the overall animation, voice acting, music and atmosphere of the show is 100% Blade Runner.
I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.
NO SPOILERS PLEASE
There are a few different versions of this scene out there, official and fan edit, respectfully. Just wondering what you guys think is the best iteration to date.
These are the most notable versions which come to mind (please let me know if there are any more I’m missing out);
DC - eyes closed at piano Final Cut - eyes open at piano WDC5 - eyes open at piano looking at photo https://whitedragoncut.com/?page_id=2407&lang=en Special edition - different shot of eyes open https://fanedit.org/blade-runner-special-edition/
Finally, my personal favourite is this one from YouTube. It is edited in a way the brief glimpse of the unicorn is actually a dream from Deckard’s POV. Him falling asleep briefly while drunk and the piano music from Rachel in the background waking him. A fleeting, more subtle and understandable moment. Opposed to Deckard’s eyes being open, which I find to be more confusing as to what I am watching and how it should be interpreted.

What are your thoughts?
I've found a few examples of the full version of this advert being used by amateur model makers
I sorta get the impression it's been passed around the amateur model making community in a you have to know someone sort of vibe. If anyone could help me get a copy I'd appreciate it!!
The subjects were made to view erotic imagery; "homosexual words," as well as an early form of lie detector to measure perspiration and pulse. The so-called machine was supposed to measure the subject's pupil dilation (pupillary response test), in response to the erotic images and words. The crude apparatus was constructed by the RCMP's Identification Branch.

I love cold and emotionless characters like him and Nightcrawler.
Any recommendations? Would be ideal if it was also a SciFi movie/show.
I just started reading the book by Philip K. Dick that the movie is based on and I'm hating Ridley Scott more and more. I haven't finished it yet but the story told in the book is much muuuuuch deeper in my opinion. Of course the movie's aesthetics is amazing and it compensates the rest but c'mon man the story is so poor comparing it to the book. If you haven't read it I strongly recommend you.
I'm trying to decorate my living room for a Cyberpunky feel since I run a Cyberpunk RED campaign, and I have the lighting down with strip lights and a blacklight bar, now I just need some art on the walls. I already have a Netflix Voltron poster up (mainly just for the vibes, not for the quality or lack thereof of the show itself). I plan on getting Bladerunner and 2049 posters, maybe Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Are there any other movie/game posters or even artists/art pieces anyone could recommend that are relatively cheap? Thanks!
I watched Blade Runner for the first time in a couple decades and was moved by Roy Batty enough to write a song based on his poetry.

If it's breaking the rules to post a link, I understand and apologize!
Is it just that he took too long to respond to certain phrases?
The aesthetic is a perfect match. Does anyone here disagree? If so, I would love to know your reasoning. :)
