Nice effect, but we wanted more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We thought it would work better with black, allowing us to take advantage of the RGBs on the second board, but we weren&#8217;t expecting it to look THIS good.  Kevin&#8217;s working hard on visual effects, and the challenge games, and implementing a Vagus breathing exercise (what happens in vagus stays in vagus) assistant to help you de-stress during and after the con. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s been done on an indie badge before, LOL. There&#8217;ll be a separate article on that later. Or you could just google it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The badge will come with a custom lanyard and a little bit of swag. Hopefully we&#8217;ll find time to add an instruction manual. We&#8217;ve got the anti-static bags, the shipping boxes, and all the swag. We&#8217;re just waiting for the lanyards and the final firmware. We will definitely have some at the con*, but we&#8217;ll have more ready to ship within a couple weeks after the con, unless miracles happen and heaven and earth and international shipping bend to our will. Stranger things have happened. Stay tuned. Follow us on twitter @dc540_nova for the latest updates. Join the Discord if you want to hang out with us. We&#8217;re usually online Monday evenings, although this Monday we&#8217;ll be a bit distracted soldering a bunch of stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[*Assuming the con still happens. From this viewpoint, it appears things are heating up in the west. My plan is to go if I can, i.e., if the con isn&#8217;t cancelled, if travel isn&#8217;t disrupted, and if restrictions don&#8217;t make it impossible. If plans get disrupted, ours or yours, everyone who ordered badges for hand delivery can have them shipped, we&#8217;ll figure it out.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Kevin created a stellar hype video to get your blood pumping (before we slow it down again with the Vagus breathing exercises).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#DC540 #Defcon Tree Of Life Badge\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uRFG0-GqBxs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just realized we&#8217;ve been so focused on getting them out on the Twitterverse that we haven&#8217;t posted an updated view of the final badges here.
