Speaking as someone who has been using HMDs since '05, and periodically checks in on dynamic foveated rendering every year or so, the frustrating thing is that sensitivity to it varies significantly.
Some folks experience the image pretty much continuously and don't notice the edge blurring. Others see it every time they move their eyes left/right. This is on the same headset.
Part of it is driven by differences in eye geometry, and even color (as this impacts the effectiveness of the camera track of the eyes). I've seen the raw camera buffers for eye track on a couple headsets and they're.. a mess.
Honestly that the feature works at all, for anyone, is still mind boggling to me.
I think it's also worth mentioning, along with all the very valid points of the article, that 3d printed figures, even at their best, simply cannot match the properties of GW's injection molded plastic at the same time.
FDM prints have visual artifacts you cannot escape with many shapes, and even the most flexible of the expensive resins isn't nearly as durable as a plastic model. Plus plastic models insta-bond with plastic glue making them both easier to assemble and repair (as everything will eventually get damaged through years of play).
I've been doing model work for 30 years, and while 3d print stuff has many uses within the hobby (like making epic terrain way more accessible), replacing the core figures for something like warhammer, to anyone who cares about finish quality and durability at the same time is not one of them.
Weird to mention FDM prints when people, including the author's examples, generally use resin prints which don't have any of the artifacts that you get from FDM prints.
