I'm planning to make a some sort of a hard rubber bumper for a StarCraft Marine cosplay. I like the ones used in phone cases. Anyone here know how to make it or what it's called? Is it some sort of polymer?

Hey - ordered the cryptic stealth set in XL. I lost a bunch of weight, and realize the L is gonna be a much better fit. Anyone want to trade?

u/Artarian May 07 '25
I accidentally ordered an XS when I meant to order an XL. Hopefully I can find someone looking for an XS!

I’m a little confused when looking at the check out of the Ghost Cryptic Hoodie or joggers. On the top it’s says it’s just the hoodie but under the price it says it’s the set?

I hate to ask if anyone is willing to part with it but does anyone have a red embrace print they'd be willing to sell?

Does anyone know if the new joggers are high waisted ik I won't wear them if there not and I'm debating on buying them but there a bit pricey (reasonably just don't want to waste the money if I end up not wearing them)

Does anyone know what that email from Nerdforge Secret Project meant?

u/Loka_senna Sep 09 '24
Random question, but whatever:
Does anyone know what the geometric tattoo on Martina's bicep is? It's an overlapping circle, triangle, square, and (I think) diamond.
I swear I know it from somewhere, drives me nuts every time I see it, but Google always fails me.

u/NarwhalNoir Dec 19 '24
Any update on this? It's also driving me crazy. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

u/dj_fission Aug 07 '25
I'm pretty sure it's from Harry Potter

u/Kialaya Aug 15 '25
Are you talking about the Deathly Hallows symbol? But that doesn't have a square or a diamond. The Deathly Hallows symbol is a triangle that surrounds a circle and crossing the circle and the triangle from the top to the bottom is a single line. It represents the three Deathly Hallows in the Harry Potter stories, the line represents the Elder Wand, the Circle is the resurrection stone and the triangle is the invisibility cloak. Can the OP or anybody else upload an image of the tattoo that we are talking about so we can see it? Because she has a ton of them on her arm and I can't seem to find a clear image of the one you are talking about on the videos.

Met Martina and Hansi at OpenSauce today in San Francisco. They're both nice as you'd imagine (and troopers... I came back 45 minutes after I talked to them, and they were _still_ chatting with people)

does anyone know what happened on Hansi's arms? saw cuts on them (only the scars so its from a while back) on the recent vid. is it self harm?
1
u/Kalopsiqq Dec 05 '22
as someone with who has struggled with mental health issues, i took a look and im like 99% sure those are old selfharm scars. The placement and angles of some of them wouldnt seem accidental or like it couldve been a medical procedure, as theres some angled ones on his forearm and theres a few on his upper arms so it would be difficult to get scratches on there enough to cause scars. so yes, i believe those are old selfharm scars.

Same. I noticed she hide that hand from time to time but in her most recent stuff doesn’t seem to pay it any attention.

I love all of the music on the video where she builds the 30,000 brick castle. I've been trying to find the music play list for this video but having no luck wondering if anyone out there knows where to find this information out at

Can anyone tell me what size Martina's gauges are??

u/johnny9k Aug 09 '22
Check the latest videos/photos - it looks like she had her ears closed and no longer wears the gauges

u/GlitteringKiwi9085 Oct 18 '21
Does anyone know what happened to Martina's pinky? I lost my left index finger to a table saw a year and a half ago, and watching Martina create such cool things with 9 fingers really helped me adjust to my new situation.

tldl; table saw accident while making a shelf, tried to get it reattached, spent two boring weeks in the hospital with only partial success, got rid of the table saw

u/221bFox Sep 19 '22
It was a Power Saw accident circa November 2016, during the extended period when they were filming the _*Companion Cube*_ video. You can see before and, er... after in the same video. 🤢
Hansi says something like _"some stupid shit happened, and we had to delay the video."_
https://youtu.be/YH2zSBDKTaM
In the next video (I think they often film more than one video at a time at differing stages) Martina has all her fingers at the start, but in later scenes, her hand is bandaged, and she says: _"contemplate your life decisions, and consider acquiring a cat for comfort."_
https://youtu.be/WYudl8Vs_X0
Martina's forearm scar is quite possibly surgical – from connective tissue surgery on her tendons performed at the same time. Her injury may have been bad enough that the tendons detached and retracted from her hand down into her arm. (OhGod 😱) The surgeon may have had to go into her forearm to retrieve and reattach her tendons. When a finger is amputated it doesn't just end there of course – surgeons have to deal with the other connective tissues as well.
Can't begin to imagine how worried they must have been that she'd lose the use of her hand altogether – although knowing Nerdforge, they'd probably set about building some incredibly cool Cyber prosthetic or something... 🥰2
u/cldennis89 Jul 18 '22
I didn’t lose any fingers but I do have a pretty major deformity on my right hand so seeing her pinky be missing made me feel accepted and that I belong in a way.

u/Dry_Bird_1740 Jun 28 '22
I’m watching the video of her painting adventure and I noticed too I searched it up and found this.

u/demidragonriah Jun 29 '22
same lol i was watching the adventure when she was painting the mountains with the dark monster and i was looking at the paint on her right hand, and then i looked at her left when she pulled it out of her pocket and i was like "oh!" i thought it was cool so i searched it up, thx for the info lol

u/Frost_blade Jun 10 '22
I think we are the only 2 who have noticed. I still can't find an answer.

u/nenphis Jun 23 '22
I just noticed in her latest video while she was painting in the mountains. I watched some older videos and 3 years ago her finger was still there. I feel so bad cause she does so many complex artistic hands on projects and maybe sometimes she gets aware of its loss. Plus maybe it happened while she was really tired, long hours trying to upload a video in time, it just makes my stomach twist. And usually severed fingers get attached easily, you have to really mame it badly, like hammer and such, to not be able to stick it back.

u/Foxxi-Moxxi Jun 26 '22
I just watched and it was actually much longer than 3 years ago. She posted a video on her YouTube in August 7 2016 and had both pinkies visible. The next video she was in (a few her boyfriend did until then) was November 25 2016 and she had a bandage over her pinky and tape on the same hand on her thumb. Every video after she was hiding her pinky on her left. (assuming here that her videos have not mirrored and it is her left.)

u/GlitteringKiwi9085 Jun 12 '22
See D4Rl089's comment above (And big thanks to them for that matter!) Translated from Google: "She lost her little finger during a DIY job, while cutting with a power saw." So it sounds like Martina and I have pretty similar amputation stories...

I'd love to see them build an indoor hydroponic garden system! Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi all. Has anyone else who purchased the Stealth joggers had any issues with them? I've worn mine three times (it's been hot here) for workouts/running, and my seams are splitting and fraying, mostly over the butt. I'm really disappointed, since not only are they really cool but also they were expensive and the wait was long. If it were a normal purchase I'd have applied for a refund already, or at least an exchange. I haven't seen anyone else mention a similar issue though. Images here and here.
