From a few pages ago, but oh well:Crain posted:Is it just me or is there something really...off about this kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lix3d/lix-the-smallest-3d-printing-pen-in-the-world Hack A Day sperged out pretty hardcore on the thermodynamics of it and determined it's BS: http://hackaday.com/2014/05/03/ask-hackaday-can-the-lix-3d-printing-pen-actually-work/ The odds that this pen will actually work while being powered by USB is pretty slim to nill. Probably not an out and out scam - I mean, the videos look like it's actually working, but I'm guessing it's plugged into a standard wall outlet, not a USB port. So in other words, it's just a slightly prettier-looking 3Doodler.

They also use MySpace and have 9 likes on Facebook. That truly is an awful Kickstarter; they couldn't even get a single $1 pledge on a $500 goal.

Noyemi K posted:I reminded them that they had no fans, close enough. Hey now, that's not true. Someone pledged $1 on their previous Kickstarter. It's almost exactly the same project but since they only made $1 towards their $2,200 goal the first time they decided to fix it by lowering their goal to $500 and adding an incredibly lovely 3 minute video instead of the previous incredibly lovely 1 minute video. Somehow this brilliant plan backfired and they didn't get a single pledge on their second attempt. The old video at least had some examples of the amazing t-shirts they were planning on making in their garage quote:These designs WILL NOT be sent to some mass producing shirt company, we plan on making EVERY shirt OURSELVES that way it will meet OUR STANDARDS!  'Standards'  They designed the shirts on some website and didn't even centre the text.

You know, they never gave that pledger the official thank you they pledged for. Also they've resorted to picking on me for having to take meds for schizoaffective disorder  Hey, since my insurance ran out maybe I should kickstart T-shirts or something for $500, but spend the money on abilify and stuff instead. In the meantime, I'll have a larf at the expense of yet another game project grossly underestimating the needed funding.

Something like that could be pretty cool if it was done in a tongue in cheek sort of way and had mechanics that were more interesting than just opposed skill rolls.

This game also already exists, it's called Tenra Bansho Zero and it's pretty good. I doubt this can compete. Also, tabletop RPG is the last thing I'd imagine seeing as yet another open source thing on KS.

That kickstarter is a fascinating case study in just how little anime goofiness it takes to ruin what could be a pretty neat setting. Also, there's no way that "bonus points for roleplaying" won't devolve into schoolyard-style make-believe escalation and pulling stuff out of your rear end.

Why would it? Plenty of games reward roleplaying. FATE even makes it a central tenant. No, this game will be a complete mess, but not for those reasons. RPGs benefit from strong directional guidance, you need core mechanics that integrate logically with the rest of the game. They're basically expecting the fans to write the game for them, which has Never Ended Well.

It looks like "EDC" (everyday carry) is trying to become a kickstarter buzzword. Because everyone needs to carry around these metal EDC tops. Or a belt with a buckle rated to hold 3000+ pound loads. (Note, might actually be useful, more just me thinking that tagging it with 'edc' is stupid.) Why are pens so popular? How about a badass metal comb with a skull?

Carrying lock picks: slightly more remarkable, but not intensely so. Carrying all three at once: Walking Probable Cause. As for "why are pens so common on kickstarter" -- a lot of those look like Baby's First CNC Aluminum Mill Project. But on a wider note, pens are in that sweet spot of "personal affect, used daily, comparatively inexpensive" that KS can fill well. I'll admit to having funded a few pen projects on KS, because I'm a sucker for well-balanced fountain pens.

Yeah that EDC thing shows up a lot with people whose one source of information on current events are the blurbs on the back of Tom Clancy novels. These are weirdos who will never justify all the bullshit they carry because they never loving do anything. It's like the ROTC but even sadder. Ask me my opinions on other subtypes of internet weirdos, I have many.

So his first project on the metal lathe was to make a spinning top, and instead of moving on to make actual useful items he instead spent years and years trying to machine the perfect top, obsessively timing and filming his attempts to break his father's spinning record? This sounds more like a "Fund my crippling OCD" project to me than anything but he's reached almost 10 times his project goal with nearly two weeks to go so what do I know?

Geez. It'd be a cute nerd toy, I think, if it wasn't twenty-eight dollars. Mind, that's at a discount. Retail price is $35!
