The funniest thing in any of these libertarian islands/nightmare boats which exist to get away from taxes and tyranny and what not is that it will take like 10 minutes for them to realize that the community will have operating costs for basic survival functions and they'll have to figure out how to make the residents pay their fair shares for it and they'll just end up reverse-engineering taxes under some dumbass new name like "blockchain-based residency contributions." It will also be pretty funny when the whole thing just degenerates into a no-girls-allowed version of High Rise

Bugsy posted:Now the thing is they don't even have an island yet. Well at least that should make getting resources easier, but so much for being some independent entity. I have no idea how stuff works in Fiji, but I'm guessing they'll be subject to all the laws and regulations all those other resorts are.

Hub Cat posted:Huh I like that they are going to have an airport on the roof, so a solid roof. And solar power somehow. Less than 10% of the cabins have balconies, but even those aren't stated to be exterior balconies. It looks like at least 80% of the residents will never see sunlight. There is an outdoor space on the front with a waterslide, but since this is libertopia I assume there is a fee for service to use it, because it is nowhere near big enough for all 100,000 residents to have access. Better stock up on Vitamin D.

One of the key, fundamental things about libertarians is that they literally don't understand how the very basics of material conditions actually work. This misunderstanding is fundamental to politics and civics as taught in most of the Western world under capitalism.

I love the Big Boat because you can tell they've given absolutely 0 thought to the fact they're going to have to on and offload 100s of tons of cargo per day just to keep people alive. Hey anybody know how many trees I'm going to have to plant to offset the carbon from desalinating water for 100k people?

It honestly seems like some kind of stupid business/marketing degree bullshit project where the idea doesn't matter they just want to see how you go about planning and promoting it. Except the guys seem way too invested in it for that to be the case. I do love how they brag about how it must be a real proposal because they formed a limited company. Well done lads you filled in a form and paid the Ł10 registration fee.

My friend found the next Star Citizen: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lovaithope/the-genesis-odyssey. Per my friend: "They're going to assemble a team of top-tier global talent, take 7 years to build a giant game of the best quality, and get a billion dollars income from it" Who does top-tier talent include, you might ask? quote:For example, we have our hearts set on some of the World of Warcraft film crew members, setting the tone for the environment and characters in our game. Enjoy some of the great behind-the-scenes details of Warcraft the film provided below to understand the genuinely spectacular detail we would accomplish with this team. We know this is merely a film and not a video game, but it is similar to on-set work for in-game assets. They also post detailed salaries for everyone they are going to hire. For example: quote:Lawyer - $60-120k What will the game be about? quote:This game will be a behemoth task to complete, and the following is what you should expect. Try to imagine Skyrim: Elder Scrolls intermingled with modern-day GTA 5. Since we are primarily in the ancient timeframe's due to the script of the bible, we would begin in the Garden of Eden and travel through time as several characters coming upon a Revelations chapter finale. Our team will decide if the game will be a seven, four or two-part series. Unless our team can pull it off, we are aiming for one gigantic game with compressed files so that you may enjoy it without the need for a high-end playing station of your choice. Whether you like your console (Xbox/Playstation) or your computer, we would like to make it cross-platform ( That's a hint ).

Good news, folks The Bible 5e has successfully been funded! I was gonna make a joke about us finally NOT being able to play as Jesus together, until I realized that there are actually separate Bible rpg kickstarters going on right now. But never fear: FAQs posted:

Sunday School Dropouts, a podcast where this adorable couple of a "former Christian and non-believing sort of Jew" read through the Bible chapter by chapter did a three-part episode where they played Testament and it looked pretty neat. It helps that it apparently gives equal status to all the religions of the time (not just Christianity) and gives each unique mechanics.

They got really creative with the background choices where the sheet only covers details made of straight horizontal lines.
