That. . . Actually doesn't look that bad? I mean, for a hot dog bar funded entirely through Internet irony, I half expected it to all collapse into one giant oozing pile of MRSA and Hepatitis All Of Them.

I am legit surprised that the restaurant is opening. I can't decide if it's more awesome for it to succeed or fail spectacularly.

I'm kinda glad it's working out because even if he is kinda a racist douche I'd rather see it succeed than have his whole life collapse around him, but we never should have let that crazy train take off to begin with ... FYAD was right

FYAD was right Most businesses fail in their first year. I wish the guy well because at this point he's really sunk a lot of his own money into it and apparently burnt a few bridges along the way. But trying to build a business while living off of it as well is really hard and this guy learned how to do it from an ebook.

And he's not remotely related to From Software, just profiting off their IP because "I'm a fan!" Naturally he's already past his asking 9 thousand dollars (to print loving shirts?!?!  ) and is up to 24K

Behold, Pokemon - The Great Adventure. This trustworthy gentleman would greatly appreciate your monetary support for this totally legitimate and Nintendo approved Pokemon game for PC/Mac/Android/iOS. You know this kickstarter is destined for greatness when the Risks and Challenges section is longer than the pitch. I wonder how long it will stay up.

You know this kickstarter is destined for greatness when the Risks and Challenges section is longer than the pitch. I wonder how long it will stay up. Haha wow. Combined with the typical awful KS understanding of IP law, the guy has one funding level for the usual $1(pound spergling, whatever) "thanks in the credits" level. That's it. No $5 for an exclusive walpaper or $15 for the game, or $40 for the game with special skins or whatever. Just $1 for the thanks. So he needs 1500 backers. (I'm not looking up the symbol for UK-dollars in character mapper to mock this, so just substitute in your head). Of course that's all a sideshow to the C&D he's going to get from Nindendos like right this instant.

lovely pokemon kickstarter posted:Everything except the locations, names and some minor aspects will be custom made by myself and my team, meaning that any references to copyrighted images/music etc will be invalid as it is our own creation. Hasn't he already failed at calling it Pokemon Adventure? If it's all his creation why not "Small Pet Adventures" or something. If it was a good enough game it could stand on it's own merits. and this: lovely pokemon kickstarter posted:However, I will try my best to make an arrangement with Nintendo should the need arise. Isn't that cute. Jake Smith will negotiate and work out a deal with Nintendo for his lovely game.

Zaphod42 posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2049720063/praising-the-sun-with-gloriously-incandescent-appa From the drat project itself posted:Slim fit, cotton poly blend, custom designed and custom manufactured with high quality materials and construction, fancy sublimated artwork, super nice, super comfy, super limited edition, super super. Hmmm... now that makes no sense at all.. "Cotton Poly Blend" and "fancy sublimated artwork" do not go together. You cannot sublimate ink onto cotton, and sublimating onto cotton/poly looks like dog poo poo. If it isn't 100% poly, it looks like turds. He's paid some jackass who owns a textile mill to whip up some hoodies made of CoPo remnants, and then made the body out of 100% poly. Yeah, that'll work. See what happens the first time someone puts it in the washing machine. It'll be like wearing compression socks on your arms, and a weather baloon on your chest. There's a reason the Jews said not to wear clothing of mixed cloth. I'd bet dollars to donuts that the original hoodie was screen printed onto a single type of fabric. He's got $6.00 (max) cost in each hoodie, and the slim-fit design will keep his weight down to where he can ship via UPSMI for about $4.00 each. He's making out like a bandit. Stay tuned for next year when he's run out of money again and posts a lovely Assassin's Creed hoodie or some poo poo.

How much would Indiegogo be liable for essentially helping to launder a million dollars to Russian con artists? They can't claim ignorance because even the "company claims to be based in SF, which is a front because it'd ascutally a Russian group" looks to be pretty clear and easy to confirm.

It's not likely laundering though, right? Just a good old fashioned scam. I bet people will even get some sort of (cheaply produced) product that gives vaguely plausible readings on calories and stuff, even if it's based on total nonsense.

I will get there eventually, but having to work a full time job and not having enough time to make videos will cause me to take so much longer to get there.

The best part of it is that it led me to Kickstarter's archive of DMCA takedown requests -- there is some amazing poo poo there. People trying to kickstart private servers for MMORPGs. People trying to kickstart ROM hacks / remakes of Zelda and Ghosts N Goblins. People trying to pass off open-source hardware projects as private designs, and just photoshopping the silkscreens. I wish some of these project pages were archived so we could see just how scammy they were before the takedown.
