Electric Bugaloo posted:From the Wikipedia page you posted: Eh, They just incorporated Aspergers into Autism in the DSM. That doesn't mean it isn't a medical term or that no doctors ever use it anymore. That same loving link says: quote:Many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.[8] There is doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[9] That's like saying its okay to call people midgets because the accurate term they prefer now is "little people". Its actually the opposite. Not that it matters.

Aspergers is an outdated term for high-functioning autism, same way that "idiot" used to mean mute. The conditions never would have been split were it not for Johan Tiberius Aspergers being a self-centered egomaniac, but that's neither here nor there. Oh no you guys! Looks like Brooklyn won't be getting their vegan organic free-range juice bar crepiery apothecary bakery after all! OH NO. Lord only knows how they intended to accomplish anything on their budget but I suppose that's no longer relevant.

It's confusing to me that someone would willingly name a mental disorder after their own last name. Like, his kids are pretty much forced to have a different last name now...

Spergs spergin' 'bout spergs. On topic: A group of people I helped make a film with have now done not one, but two separate Kickstarter projects for their latest film. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1500620446/courage-of-two Here's the original kickstarter that barely made it's funding. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1500620446/courage-of-two-post-production And here's the second, where they're asking for a lot more this time. What are people's positions of doing multiple kickstarters for one project? On one hand it makes a lot of sense for things like film to do these things in stages yet I feel like that wasn't what Kickstarter was made for. Because when you think about it, you're probably giving them more money than you were going to if they had only one project.

Ugh those move names are so terrible "Dragone" ?? Tiamat Knuckle and GIGA TIAMAT KNUCKLE and ... Saw-shark redemption. WHAT. The animation seems pretty high quality, but the lines are also jittering all over the place. Bleh its just a lovely furry fighting Bloody Roar knockoff, why did I even bother reading the page...

It's good to see that at least one of the Street Sharks was able to go on to become a respectable business...shark. Shame he's working with furries. The animation outline for them further down isn't bad. At least the animator's going to get paid now.

eithedog posted:This is so over the top that I can't belive it's real. The prototype was an art installation and the creator's previous Kickstarter was a wanky 'meme' project (and was only successful thanks to some suspiciously large last minute pledges) so there's a chance this might be a smug hoax project but there's also every chance that it could be a genuine attempt to put the homoerotic iPod charger into production.

So I'm reasonably certain the KS for this was covered ages ago in this very thread, with a plethora of links on why the whole thing was clearly impossible and a sham. But that hasn't stopped that bastion of truth and factual integrity the Seattle Times from publishing an article about it! http://seattletimes.com/html/nationworld/2023980586_apxisraelmoleculescanner.html

It's way less bad when the finished project turns out to be good. There was that iOS/Android game Star Command that did it. Most people were pretty chill about it to begin with but when the app came out and it turned out to not be as great as the pitch suggested folk got pretty mad about it.

What tipped you off, was it the white guy dreads or the "i have opinions about the Mountain Goats" phone-licker in the promo video? Yeah though this is an art project, I'm surprised more of you can't smell the patchouli from here.
