Two more products for the pile of things with unnecessary smartphone connectivity. First we have the Cyclops Cap, which is a hat with an integrated display screen. It's extremely useful for displaying text, pictures and video on your head, and owning one makes you so cool you get invited to every party and everyone will want to be your friend. Second is the Smart Phone Stimulus, which is a phone-controlled vibrator that can extend and contract itself. The creator is so proud of his invention, he invested a hundred thousand dollars of his own money into it. He currently has zero backers. Finally, have a good project. Which is exactly what is says it is. A good project.

You can: you just have a limited number of reward tiers. Everything else goes to $1 "thank you" category. Of course, it's up to the kickstarter creator to set it up that way, and people get dumb.

FlyinPingu posted:They should really implement a way to put a limit on kickstarter donations so smaller kickstarters don't get overwhelmed like the marshmallow lady. You can do this already by limiting the number of available rewards so if hypothetically I can only supply my marshmallows to 2,000 people I make sure that are only a total of 2,000 reward tiers. Of course the problem is that people rarely if ever do this because more money is more money even if your idea doesn't scale up well.

Also, those marshmallows look delicious. If it wasn't $12 for a dozen marshmallows (inc shipping) I'd be tempted to buy some.

They were selling X total rewards at the different tiers, and when those are gone, they're gone. You can't back even if you want to. But people run into Kickstarter without taking the time to think poo poo through so here we are. Admittedly even some friends of mine made that mistake. They kistarted a tabletop RPG and to their credit, they really made it and its fantastic. But they had a tier where you could get it signed, and they didn't put a limit on it... Ended up spending days in the warehouse signing books over and over and over.

I find more stupid poo poo every time I look. This is a bottomless well of bad ideas and idiots. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS MANY EMAILS APPEARING AT ONCE, I HAVE TO THROTTLE THEM TO 1 AT A TIME OR MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE. Insane delusions of grandeur? Check. Vampires? Check. Ugly, uninspired comic art and premise? Check.  Alice in Wonderland. Fat shirtless clowns. A "comic" made in Poser.THE POWER OF RAPE. Shockingly not being written by a fat guy with a fedora. It doesn't change the fact that the author(s?) can't figure out whether or not it's fictional and write like children on their own drat page.

A women can totally do stuff! sailing a cursed ship to sell guns to poor deprived Australia! Somehow someone is stealing from just 1 city!

Why do I want my email to go through someone else's servers, who then monitor them and my activity? Never mind the absurd notion that you have to process every email in your inbox immediately, or that you can accurately predict who's going to send you an important email. Actually, writing that I think I see the guy's problem. He needs to learn to accept that he can't deal with every email immediately, and can come back to them later. There! Solved!

Looks like the lady just posted it again but after running it through spellcheck this time (or nevermind, same one just with spellcheck). You can still get a signed copy by the actual rapist though! The original pitch: The Power of Rape posted:The purpose behind our project is to raise funds to assist with professional editing, production costs, registration of ISBN number, promotional costs, the creation and registration of websites and web pages, etc. I'd bold all the funny parts, but it'd be easier to bold the parts that aren't funny.

TetsuoTW posted:Wait, so sex toys bad, rape soda good? Tentacle Grape has already earned IGG 300 dollars in fees, whereas the teledildo hasn't earned them a single cent. They're completely OK with having free energy, free money, and other types of scam run rampant as long as they make money on it. Not that long ago they hosted a very obvious scam that earned them a whopping five dollars and which they didn't shut down, so I guess that's the minimum funding level you have to achieve before your campaign is safe. Catchall is a 'minimalist stand to hold your belongings'. So yes, it's a block of unpainted mdf with holes cut into it so that it holds your wallet, keys and phone. It's yours for just 30 dollars plus shipping costs, or completely free if you have random bits of plywood, glue, and 30 minutes of time to burn. The most surprising thing about the KickStarter for Le Boss: The Rapping Racehorse is that the creator didn't shoot his pitch entirely with the crappy camera on his mobile phone or a twenty year old webcam. Normally when people pitch bat-poo poo insane ideas like this one, they're strictly ideas people who don't even know how to hold a camera. This guy's competence is refreshing. It's a video animation about a young jockey who joins up with a rapping racehorse so they can become the best rappers ever. One night Le Boss meets the current best rapper in the universe, an alien who is lost on this planet. Le Boss helps him on his way and receives some valuable hints in return. Unfortunately Sean doesn't say whether the duo intends on becoming the best rappers ever by practicing a lot, or by killing the alien and taking the title from him in the process.

Apart from hold your watch at a specific angle so you can see what time it is as you walk past it on your way to the shower, the only time you'll ever not be wearing your watch quote:Most people have a specific place where they empty their pockets and put everything that they carry. All of these things tend to clutter up wherever you choose to put them. And now you can add an extra item to that clutter! This product solves literally nothing. It's actually pissing me off. Not that they might make money off a useless product (fair play to them) but that some people might actually feel like this is a product they need that addresses a real problem God
