Love how the indentations in the top part of the case don't at all match the dice on the bottom side of the case. Not the right positions. Not the right shapes. There aren't even the same number of them! Seven dice in the bottom, but only six indentations in the top!

I love that the D10 fits in a hole that is a pentagon, but the hole is rotated 72° such that a corner of the die aligns with the center of a hole-edge.

Probably more indication that it's Ai slop

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

The numbers look too consistent and legible for AI... I think it's a 3D render of a product that isn't even halfway through the design phase yet, and which may never actually come to market.

The dice seem to be a real product already, so I'm guessing it's this charging case that isn't a real product, at least not yet.

Better than "sorry, my d20 is disabled until I pay my yearly subscription fees, though they say d20+ rolls better"

"You should get the Electrum tier. It comes with a +5 to all d20 rolls. It's only $80 a month if you do a 5 year plan."

Every 1 is an unskippable ad

[-] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 27 points 2 days ago

You think this is a joke? It’s not.

[-] RamSwamson@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 days ago

Oh yuck. The render and artwork for the box shows just the numbers illuminating, meanwhile the actual die just shoots light out of every surface. Horrible.

look inside app
yet more dataslop collection

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Would this not make the dice much harder to have a balanced weight?

There is no way the internal battery is symmetrical in every direction.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

For $49.99 extra, they'll include an extra little inertial motor inside each die that connects to your app and makes sure it lands on the number you want.

As someone who is extremely unlucky with dice and bought balanced ones for a ton of money, if someone told me I had to use these, I would just leave.

(The balanced dice actually works for me)

[-] noodohs@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago

For Pixels, at least, a great deal of effort went in to making them perfectly balanced.

[-] voxthefox 19 points 2 days ago

Well that's one way to have exploding dice

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

I got a set of these as a present, they stopped charging and broke before I ever got to use them

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I have those! The d12 doesn't charge anymore after a few months, though. Sucks.

EDIT I think people haven't bothered to check what product this is, annoying as this is I think I'll do myself and others a favour by explaining what this is:

These are dice with LEDs in them, a sensor that tells when it hits a hard surface, and transparent digits on them. When you roll them, the sensor picks us a hit and the LEDs make the numbers blink for a few seconds. They come with a case you can connect via USB-C, each shape in the case has a charging pin, touching a small, metal surface on each die, through which they charge. In my case, even though the d12 is in the right position in its shape, it no longer charges. It's still a black die with transparent digits, it just doesn't blink, anymore.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Did it get stuck on a low number?

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 21 hours ago

See my edit, I hope this clears it up.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago

Lol it was a joke like it couldn't roll if it was broken. How can a dice like that be stuck on a number 😁 eh

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

do the holes in the upper lid also not match the bottom

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 21 hours ago

See my edit, I hope this clears it up.

No, real. I have a set of these.

[-] EggInDisguise 3 points 2 days ago

So like..... Do they light up?

Or is it Bluetooth connection to your phone so a proprietary app can ~~harvest data~~ "track rolls to improve user experience" while just giving you an easy way to reference previous rolls?

I'm actually curious, I can't imagine why dice would need to charge unless they're light up.

And now I want a pair of light up dice that are brass and have some kind of draconic theme with bones and scales to make the number indicators...

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

That's all mine does is light up. No BT

[-] EggInDisguise 3 points 2 days ago

Neat!

How sad is it that my first thought was data harvesting bluetooth app... Everything is enshitfified.

A light up metal set sounds cool.

[-] cravl@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago

This picture at least makes zero sense, I'll give you that.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Really? You can’t envision a way these could be real?

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

So close... Almost there... Unf, just a little more... All the way in... Yeah, wiggle it just like that, and... YES! YES, I AM! OHGODStheCHARGE! 🎉

[-] Firoaren@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Unfortunately they're not shipping to the US because of tariffs right now, excepting what arrived before tariffs. Ask me how I know
