SovietSpyGuy posted:Yeah, this woman is a retard. So gently caress everyone who isn't poor! I hate the wealthy! Nobody ever starts successful businesses unless they were already rich*! Ugh! gently caress this gay earth! The problem isn't that she's rich, it's that she's greedy. She's taking a website mean to help people do cool stuff and using it so she doesn't have to pay for something she can easily afford. There's nothing wrong with being rich by itself, it's when you become greedy or selfish, that's the issue. Sadly too many rich people lack the self control not to become either of these.

Found millionaire mom's twitter account linked directly from her business' website: https://twitter.com/fundher Down on March 20th, you can see where she apparently spammed her KS to dozens of people, including Lady Gaga and Ellen Degeneres. ce gars has a new favorite as of 03:24 on Mar 25, 2013 |

If you're not willing to spend $1 you're not going to even consider this. 0 out of 4 claimed $100 "Seriously?" "I need to put food on the table and gas in the car.

She's taking a website mean to help people do cool stuff and using it so she doesn't have to pay for something she can easily afford. Exactly this. I'm not going to get into this in a broader societal sense, but it's like some sort of battered wife syndrome where clear evidence is being shown that this is a scam, and yet people rush to defend the scammer. In the comment section, people posted copious amounts of evidence showing that this project violates the KS TOS and is pretty clearly a scam. Here's a representative response from one of the people white knighting the millionaire scam artist. quote:Yeah this goofy lemonade stand video is really scamming people. I'm sure all us backers are sacrificing our last loaf of bread because Susan's marketing savvy is just too overpowering for us. Oh no! It's an internet video! Better hide your wallets!

I desperately want to see what his "brilliant idea" that was probably Lego was and see just how it scared off all his "investors" (since, reading between the lines, it's clear that's what really happened - people thought he was being cute and then realized "oh, god, he's actually going to pirate a patent", but I want to see it with my own eyes).

Luckily, I believe that is the same RPG Maker camp. Unfortunately, according to this comment from a counselor that someone posted to that Kickstarter from the IGN boards, it seems like that camp is pretty much a worthless scam, as well. There's just layer upon layer of scamming going on here.

Yeah their website says they teach tile based mapping, pixel art, and conditional statements. If you're capable of reading the help file of RPG Maker VX Ace teaches you all about most of these things, and altering preexisting sprites for RPG Maker isn't exactly difficult, since you can do it in loving MS Paint.

Actually you could, courses at my university have 750-1000 USD tuition (mostly 750 though, pretty cheap I'd say~) RPGMaker VX Ace is so simple to use that all you really need is the asking price and one of the many wonderful tutorials on the internet (if even that, it's ridiculously simple). VVVEdit: if she wants to get into tech for real, she'd best drop that inattentiveness poo poo real quick; documentation is all you have to work with most of the time.

Anyone actually interested in getting into the STEM sector at all would most certainly have no problem reading that stuff. I used to have an older version of RPG Maker when I was around 9 as well, maybe closer to 11, but I sat down and read through everything I felt I needed to learn to do it. Even if you don't like reading, there is countless YouTube and picture/text tutorials all over the web for it. What they really need is RPG Toolkit, I believe it was called. God was that a horrible pile.

I think that NotLegos guy might have had a better shot if his 3D model of a building block didn't look like flatted rear end with microsoft word art draped over it. I mean it's a block. How the gently caress do you gently caress up making one of those in a CAD program? Assuming the underside of his block had something to actually latch onto those tiny nubs he put on the top, it'd either have to be made of very thick plastic or it's going to be a very loose lock. Besides, 3D printing? are home printers good enough now to make lego blocks? They're very small, precise things. And would the 3D printing plastic be strong enough not to break or come apart the first time you wedge to bricks together or separate them?

Which either is the one location or not true at all, since my own personal experience had work every day until the lunch period, which is when the stuff like kickball and other things happen. But it's still fairly affordable that a woman with enough money as her can send their kid to it without a kickstarter.
