hello mental illness e: for context this guy is a classic character from the bitcoin threads, he notoriously wanted to buy a derelict theater where he would show movies with a home epson projector, serve any kind of soda and believed he could acquire a creative commons licences for an existing movie which was his way of dealing with copyrights issues. read the bio unpacked robinhood has a new favorite as of 09:20 on Aug 12, 2014 |

Please donate $25,000 to write a book about the harsh life of being a battle rapper. Truthfully, there is probably a book in that premise, but I doubt one needs $25k up front to write that book, and if a person does, that person probably shouldn't have setup their only rewards tier (paying $50 for a hard copy of the book, itself a galling idea) to net as little as $10,000 worth of donations.

Remember when I posted that terrible Kickstarter called "City Limits" by Cabal Games with their lovely video. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/932667264/city-limits Welp they have finally released the rules for their "MOD" system http://www.cabalgames.ca/files/ModBasic.pdf It's like the worst version of BESM was combined with Dream Pod 9's Core System to form a Frankenstein combination of the two which I would never want to play, ever. Yet somehow these guys have managed to raise $1,350.

Oh this thing looks like it was formatted by a high school student who just got to use MS Word for the first time. My personal favorite is how the Character Page is at the middle of the book as opposed to say, the end. Or that the explanation for how the game actually works is fit in between their basic character creation and their magic system.

When I bike, I typically crash after around 50-60 km if I don't make sure to get sugar in some form. For shorter rides I can go without, for longer rides I need to sugar up approximately every 30 km. Some use energy bars/-drinks, I drink OJ and eat candy bars, and I could see maple syrup being effective as well. You preferably want something that's compact and contains lots of easy-digestible sugar. The funding goal seems reasonable for physical production startup.

Here's a patreon that popped up from someone I know. I'm not going to say much, but those numbers look weird and I'm wondering why: a. She didn't just get a job (plenty of artists use this to support their passion, and I will soon join their ranks) b. She didn't start doing real paid work (I've done paid work and you can make a bit more than her top goal in a month; I'm not talking about commissions because pay tends to be poo poo) Maybe I know too much about Moga, but there's just a few things here that aren't sitting right with me.

So do the people who pledge have any legal basis for a refund if the product doesn't show up, or is crowd funding still just a Libertarian snake oil show with the odd really good project run by cool guys who deliver what they promised? Seems like the best Kickstarters come from people who have a history of making good products - but what happens to the person who gives ten grand to some guy in shed showing off his gadget that can't possibly work, then runs off before the shipping date? Do these sites just go "welp, sorry, free market and all that".

OldMemes posted:So do the people who pledge have any legal basis for a refund if the product doesn't show up Yes, you can sue over it in court and you'll probably get a favorable ruling. You just kinda need to be able to afford a lawyer to do that properly and lawyers are pricy, and you're going to need whoever you gave money to to still have money to pay damages in that event. So if some random dude making $25k a year runs a kickstarter and spends all the kickstarter money on hookers and blow; even if you successfully sue him he's probably not going to have much in assets to be taken by the court and used for paying you back.

It offers no extras for milestones of any kind, not even making things up ("Game X can be completed!") it just straight up tells you that YOU'RE responsible for making sure she doesn't have to do the unthinkable and get a job and work to support herself at the possible expense of her hobby. She LIVES art you guys, she can't just not do it for 4 to 8 hours on weekdays!

You know those juiced-up sports dorks aren't actually Vermonters because they aped their design from the Canadian flag. If you ever want to see a Vermonter express any sort of emotion, ask them how they feel about Canadian maple syrup.

Update: one patron for five bucks. Appears to be a brony! Why do people on crowdfunding sites seem to believe that, because you promise to create, people will just hand you money? The ones that are successful usually seem to be either: 1. Lucky (Potato Salad and a few of the copycats) 2. Stupid poo poo for idiots (Star Shitizen, minimalist wallets, Ouya, furry comics) 3. Have some extras (Ouya) 4. An Actual Good Thing that People Want™ (Reading Rainbow, Wasteland 2) Create a matrix of these properties, and you have a helpful tool for critical examination of your crowdfunding campaign. Some things that probably help are: 1. Not begging for money even more than you already are by setting up a crowdfunding venture in the first place 2. Offer real goals relevant to the project or venture 3. Offer extras, to sway people who might be on the fence I don't think people like it when you're literally panhandling and have nothing to offer them.

Patreon is pretty much the site where you pay people to exist and get nothing in return. It's a good setup for people who do stuff that is fun but takes up large amounts of their free time. It serves as a place for people to virtually panhandle, and there isn't really anything wrong with that. Just to be successful on it you usually have to be someone anyone cares about or has heard of.

There's a lot of patreons that offer extra poo poo or at least have clear goals based on the work setup. Look at a few of the ones that make money or make some goals. If your goal is just "I eat tomorrow", it's not an abuse of the system, but it's really lovely language that places the responsibility of the predicament on the viewer and creeps them the gently caress out, making them not want to give you money. There's ways you can reword and doctor this poo poo without lying or coming off as pathetic, to get what you want. e: I used to be an entitled sad-sack and it didn't work for me either (well I make money now)

This Patreon creator just received $750 for posting a 7 minute video called "Rob Schneider Offers Ignorant, Unwanted Opinion on Robin Williams." I'm sure she does some great work and has actually earned all that fan support but no one should ever be paid to talk about Rob Schneider.

Why is she so boring? How can people pay for her to talk, where she sounds so unexcited by whatever she's talking about? Lady, take a look at TED talks - these people aren't speakers, but they're excited to talk to other people about the fields they're in; you on the other hand are a lizard person. canis minor has a new favorite as of 08:49 on Aug 21, 2014 |
