Speaking of, the fake food scanner made it onto Fast Company today. Someone more knowledgeable about it should educate them: http://www.fastcoexist.com/3020813/fund-this/point-this-magical-scanner-at-your-food-and-it-will-count-the-calories

ranbo das posted:Well, they do have one thing right. The only way that thing is going to work is if it is actually magic. Even if it worked as planned (it won't) they're still full of poo poo because the device described wouldn't work for the purposes they're advertising. At best, if this worked, you could point it at a large mass of contiguous material, like a block of Jell-O, and have it tell you the composition of that material. But for prepared foods? They have a picture there with a complex meal on a plate, and you just point it at that thing and it tells you the total carbs and calories? No. loving. Way. If the laser hits meat its going to give a different reading than if it hits noodle or vegetable. (much less EACH different vegetable) You'd have to manually scan every different food material in your plate, and then measure them by weight/volume, and then do the math to sum it all up and weight each one appropriately. Even if the device could do the math for you, you'd have to sit there and scan each element and weigh it and enter the weights into the machine. If a single scan can take a few minutes, that means sitting there for 30-40 minutes measuring your food before you start eating; by which time it'll be cold. And with slight imperfections in measurements, you'd get no better a reading on your food than just assuming the average values that you can find online in seconds. And that's if it does work, which there's just no loving way.

Basically you'd have more success sliding your meal into an industrial centrifuge and having it separate all the individual compounds out into a nice, neat, layered soup. At least it would be done quickly so you could drink your steak and chips while it was still warm.

Or you could just eat your drat food and stop fretting over every spare carb. I discovered the secret to making money on Kickstarter: CTHULHU CHILDREN'S BOOKS All of which have made far beyond their goals. I mean, the art is generally half-decent, but the "Ha ha, they combined cosmic horror with children's reading! How unexpectedly WACKY!" thing should not be this popular. Cthulhu mugs, t-shirts...the list goes on and on. And it's all about Cthulhu, Lovecraft's most overrated monster. He's small fry compared to pretty much every other major monster Lovecraft ever wrote about, and he got taken down by a steamboat in his own drat story. A STEAMBOAT.

They do say they've been working on it for three years already. Also, they have realistic support levels (all virtual rewards, nothing physical). The names are all very 'russian' sounding, I assume they're developing it in one of those countries which costs will be down. That said, I wouldn't support it because of all of the obvious reasons, in particular none of them have any prior experience in the genre other than liking to play those games. I do think it's pretty amazing that technology has progressed to the point that people think they can wrestle up an MMO in their garage.

They're just doing waaaaay too many things. That's great and all, but the end result is going to be a huge tech demo, not a serious game. Plus, they're going to eat through every dollar they've budgeted making the thing, and then what? Do they expect to run an MMORPG for nothing? Its crazy how naive everybody is about MMORPG infrastructure. Game is trying to be Skyrim, Minecraft and Mount & Blade all at the same time. They have an impressive number of features implemented; except wait no they've been working on this for 3 years and this is all they have so far. In 10 years they'll have a bit more to show. Feature creep city. Alan Smithee posted:It was ironic though.

QUOTE TAGS OMITTED FOR QUOTABILITY] LIFE IS FEUDAL offer a host of incredible features making our game truly unique! It offer something for everyone, and the diverse and varied gameplay is enhanced by our continued commitment to adding new and cool stuff over time! Backers of this campaign will enjoy unlimited hours of adventuring, and very few players will ever be good enough, or skilled enough, to explore the rich and massive environment! Here is a quick breakdown of our games main features: Massive Seamless Open-Ended World. LIFE IS FEUDAL features a massive 441 square kilometer open seamless world! Our game has island-like continent with different biomes such as plain, dense forest, steppe, desert, tundra and marsh, for example. All of the terrain is untouched nature inviting players to settle or invade! The continent is scattered with rivers, lakes and bays, and even has a roaring volcano!

The current internet isn't any good. We need to take the current internet and replace it with a new internet. Guess what this is:  If you guessed that it's some guy's first encounter with Visual Studio, you'd be correct. It's also the future of home-school education software. Have you always wanted to fill up your house with webcams so random people from all over the world can watch you all day long? Then RealityShowMe.com is totally your thing. For the low price of 50,000 dollars they'll let you have a 10% share in their profits, but if you don't have that sort of money to burn they'll be happy to give you a shoutout on FaceBook for 10 bucks. Or FaceBook and Instagram for just 25.
