Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)


And then there are AA batteries, audio cassettes, CDs, Barbies, floppy disk drives, ec or credit cards, viagra, VW Golf, table-tennis bat and ball, baseball caps etc.
 
At least SD cards are a standard size.
But what if they think it is a micro SD?

If they aren't familiar with a ruler it is possible that aren't familiar with those. Maybe include all of them in the picture to increase the chances of there being something they know the size of.
 
Day 727


It had been what seemed an eternity since their captain ED had mentioned colors, the hunger to see these delicious colors Captain ED mentioned, had reached a peak. Pyrans were starving, starving for news . To distract themselves from their hunger , they turned to talking about what the best measure for scale was. A whole page of posts on suggestions for scale. The lunacy had set in.
Soon, the madness would devolve into talk of what a specific word actually meant, posts and posts would roll by debating dictionary definitions. It was the same thing over and over.

Where was captain ED, where are those bloody colors he had chosen.

Except there are like ten different sizes of Barbie now. Banana is best scale unit.
 
I'm pretty sure bananas are the defacto standard of measurement on the internet.
Why didn't ED make that pic? We really need one asap. Any suggestion on the variety of banana to use?

I don't see that happening, SD cards and microSD cards look nothing alike.

And the original Game Boy looks nothing like the others, so what's your point? If they don't know rulers do you really think they will know different memory cards?

My point is that If you know what a microSD card looks like, you'll know by looking at it that the SD card is something different. If you don't know what one looks like, you won't be using it as a size reference to begin with. Either way you're not going to be looking at an SD card and thinking of it as a MicroSD card.

I disagree. Someone that has briefly seen a micro SD in someone's smartphone, but has never spent any real time with them could be confused. Either way, it is far inferior to other proposed Pyra picture companions...that gives me an idea on which banana to use. xD
 
I didn't see the original video (was it just the song?), but that is exactly the banana I had in mind. I was going to try to make a picture of the Pyra with him in it.

Since ED made a pic of the prototype with an SD card I suppose that can be used (just like the one with the Game Boy). There are plenty of great pictures, just no one is using them. The one with the grass can be used for those unfamiliar with rulers (if one is ever made), coins, gameboys, and SD cards. I wanna go look through those pictures again.

Yeah it just had a static image of Raffi, so I decided to switch to a video with slightly more animation. :)

You may have been joking but an audio cassette is actually quite a good idea because unlike the other suggestions it's similar in size. Put one on top of a closed case and photograph it almost straight from above.
 
@Lightkey Not joking. I was making a point, that there are indeed well known things, that are distributed globally and don't vary in size.
 
@rygD Wearing some kind of glasses these days, with which you can only see problems, while blocking your view from the obvious solutions? Put a standard sized audio cassette and a microcassette next or onto or behind or into or whatever the pyra. ;) One could do the same with different sizes of SD cards. Yes of course, next you'll say, people who know only one of the varieties, wouldn't know, which of the shown is the one they know.

Nope. The obvious solution, if the current pics aren't sufficient, is a ruler. I think the current ones are fine, and I am kinda picking on Grench for saying a GB isn't good enough, and everyone else that is trying to solve a nonexistent problem (myself included).

How are people to know it's not a mini cassette
