Well, it's made of Tyvek which is a decent enough material, but seriously? Who only has six cards? Tyvek has some stretch to it, they could easily make more cardslots. :/ Also there are already several other companies offering Tyvek wallets and even an instructable for doing it yourself. And while I collect TARDIS memorabilia, I draw the line at lovely screenprints on lovely products.

TetsuoTW posted:Every now and then someone says something that makes me feel like America is some alien planet. What do you need that many cards for? Well, I may be Canadian, but in my wallet I have my driver's license, my health card, my student ID, my debit card, my credit card, an EB Games reward card, a Coles reward card, my Social Insurance Number card, and my bus pass; so that's 9 cards. Many of them share slots, but I'm far from atypical. And lots of people have multiple credit cards.

I'm in England and have 2 bank cards, a library card, a subway card, a nectar card, a pub chain discount card, a drivers license, and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. Although, since we actually use coins in this country, a microwallet would be completely useless to me unless I also carried a coinpurse, totally defeating the purpose of the exercise.

Plus all you're doing is taking a piece of gaming history, an original NES controller, and cutting the cord.  That's not cool man! I guess maybe they use the modern knockoff controllers. I at least hope they do.  But really, if you want to make this a project, you should at least be building controllers. You could 3D Print the shapes and colors of a NES controller pretty easy. "Give me money to buy controllers and cut the cords off" is the loving laziest kickstarter yet.  And it just feels wrong. A belt buckle is less useful than a NES controller.

I hate people who do no research into their products—instead they just assume their idea is so great no one could have possibly ever thought of it. Also, pretty safe bet that a significant percent of people that want an NES belt buckle ask their belts to do a LOT of work. Thus a makeshift plastic buckle is idiotic. quote:Anyone with a knife or gun? That's how mugging works.

You are wrong - unless he actively goes looking for trouble, muggers will always leave a bulky 6-4 guy alone and wait for the next victim.

I never said losing it wasn't an issue, it's just that I can't leave it at either of my residences since the possibility exists that I might need it at either, and I don't have it memorized. I'm not trying to defend it as a good idea, just the least lovely option I've got. And it's not an "Oh maybe I'll need it" situation, I needed it just a week ago for things having to do with my student loans.

What I want to know is where they're going to get original NES controllers in bulk. Also why the gently caress they're cutting cords off of NES controllers and turning them into belt buckles instead of using a god damned 3d printer like a sane person would.

Oh no - even though I agree with you, NOBODY gets off that easy. We need another page of rants about this, someone telling us about the similar thing they have in Singapore, a veiled allusion to tattooing these numbers on your arms  which then leads to a debate about tattooing in general, several half-hearted attempts to bring things back on topic which are mostly ignored...and then out of left field, a supremely ridiculous Kickstarter project that gets us back on track.So come on "MORANS", get cracking!

"Aftermarket" is a word with no specific meaning in this context. Does he mean third party NES controllers? Reproduction? Fake? Home made copies? I've read through the kickstarter and I can't work out what he means.

I'm very susceptible to feelings of substitutive shame. When someone does something cringe-worthy without feeling ashamed or embarrassed, I experience that shame in their stead. This is a KickStarter for Atheist Baby Shoes, and I felt so embarrassed for the people in this video that I had to turn it off at the three minute mark. Not only is there such as thing as 'atheist baby shoes', there's a store that specializes in atheist footwear. I wonder if they sell miniature baby fedoras too. You have 18 cats and a video camera, what do you do? You make a series of short films, of course. The creators have already filmed 20 out of their projected 30 movies, and they're all available on YouTube for free. In order to make the rest, they're going to need 30,000 dollars. Mostly to replace the furniture and possessions their 18 cats and 11 dogs have destroyed in the past few years. I also like how defeatist their KickStarter page is. quote:Listen, the chance weŽll make it is infinitesimal. Thus, itŽs unlikely youŽll ever have to spend the money you pledge! What do you have to lose, man? Take a chance, we need your help! Miau.

You know, a belt buckle which is, say, gold-plated nickle with paint-flooded depressions to look like a NES controller would be pretty nice, I think. You'd probably do well selling such a thing. Having an actual controller hanging off my pants would be lovely and uncomfortable. Especially since the Gamecube controller is a way nicer controller, and I can't see anyone walking around with one of those resting on their pubic bone.
