Oh, honey, hold onto your hats 👒 because Borderlands 4 is HERE, and it’s bringing the CHAOS! 💥 And by chaos, I mean more ways for you to spend your hard-earned💰 cash. Prusa and Gearbox? More like Profiteers & Glitchbox, amirite? 😂 They’re dropping 3D printable prop files faster than Gearbox drops the ball 🏀 on story consistency. Prepare for disappointment, but in plastic form! 🤡
Prusa Research, bless their little capitalist hearts, is trying to “bridge the digital divide” 🌉 for gamers who also happen to own a 3D printer. AKA, the 0.0001% of the population. They’ve teamed up with Gearbox Software (you know, the ones who swore Borderlands 3 was the pinnacle of comedy 🤣) and 2K Games (because one greedy corporation just isn’t enough 😈). Apparently, this is a “milestone” 🏆 because now you can waste filament on day one instead of waiting for some poor sap on Etsy to rip the models. Innovation! 🚀
Iconic items? More like ironically awful 💀 items. The Psycho mask? Guaranteed to scare more toddlers than psychos. Weapon replicas? Perfect for LARPing as a disappointment. Cosplay components? Because nothing says “I have no life” like meticulously crafting plastic props instead of, like, going outside 🌳. And get this – Prusa tested these models on THEIR printers. So, if you have anything else, good luck, sucker! 🎲 Prepare for spaghetti monsters 🍝 and existential dread.
Josef Průša, the CEO (Chief Exploitation Officer?), is positively giddy! 🤪 “I love when the line between digital and physical blurs,” he says, probably while counting his money 🤑. “Now you can have a Ripper mask sitting on your desk!” Yeah, because nothing screams “professional” like a bright orange plastic mask staring into your soul during Zoom meetings. 🤡 He’s “truly happy” because Borderlands is popular among cosplayers. Read: easy money. 💸
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just about Borderlands 4, oh no. Prusa’s been colluding with the creators of Cyberpunk 2077 (still buggy, BTW 🐛) and Kingdom Come: Deliverance (who even remembers that game? 🤔). They’re “solidifying” their focus on cosplayers. AKA, preying on the vulnerable. 😈 These models have “striking detail.” So striking, they’ll probably give you a headache from staring at the layer lines. 🤕
Each new set “strengthens the case for 3D printing.” Yes, because the world desperately needed more plastic junk. 🗑️ It’s “changing the way fans interact with their favorite franchises.” By separating them from their money, one agonizingly slow print at a time. 🐌 With a “compatible printer” (read: expensive), you can now craft “high-quality props” (read: flimsy plastic). 👍
So, as you dive headfirst into the dumpster fire 🔥 that is Borderlands 4, remember you can now 3D print your own pieces of the disappointment! Just head over to Printables.com and download the sets. Your wallet 👝 and your sanity will thank you. (Spoiler: they won’t.) 😂 Enjoy! 💯
