Great Rumbler posted:Perhaps the salts are actually bath salts? You could reduce a lot of drugs to a "salt" in the chemical sense. (Not NaCL) The natural form of cocaine, for instance, is a salt. So is Methamphetamine. The way he said "will make you see the world in other ways" makes me think it could be Bath Salts or Meth. Zaphod42 has a new favorite as of 16:17 on May 1, 2015 |

And now, I present these offerings for your pleasure: A colouring book! Wowzers! I don't actually know poo poo about art, so I'll just call it "abstract" and hope they buy it. Wouldn't be a complete dump without at least one ill-conceived idea to dupe people out of money to make a game with quote:The Eighth Day is ultimately a story telling project which utilizes game platforms as a tool to create depth and immerse players into multiple fascinating and dangerous places in massively open world. In order to really get moving and speed up pre development progress, and make this dream a reality, I am raising funds to acquire and utilize current technology (PCs and equipment capable of rendering HQ graphics and physics) to dive into the creation of digital assets and begin to bring a great story to life to be experienced by avid gamers. And one for the road!

I do sort-of like the idea as an art installation: making a naturally impossible mix using technology. Like grafting agave plants to one another to get new fruits but more pretentious. It's just sad that even if he wasn't just grossly over-charging for regular salt from the super-market, it would still be just salt which is the same no matter where it comes from.

A Steampunk Gent posted:I thought it sounded like a foodie thing. Like the salt is going to have all these distinct characters and bodies from (allegedly) being assembled from locations all round the world. Even if he actually does what he says he's doing I bet it just tastes like salt Yeah this is totally a thing. Go to any Target and you can buy a tiny jar of Pink Himalayan* Salt for $15, gourmet places have even more ridiculous specialty salts. *Actually mined in Afghanistan.

It's a thing, but it's also a scam, there's no way to detect the taste of trace minerals in contrast to the overwhelming saltiness of NaCl. I know people say "If you can make money out of your fake idea, more power to you", but ultimately it's theft.

There are lots of people needed to bring this project to fruition. Hiring the right people to work will probably be the biggest obstacle to overcome. I have not been able to accomplish much by myself that is why I need help from kickstarter. I can code some of the mechanics, but there are already many games that have what I need and it would be awesome if we could work together. The difficult part is integrating them in a coherent way. That is why I am proposing a joint effort of everyone towards the same goal. This needs to be organized into a traditional game launch with the right publicity. That means advertising and marketing, which I do not have much experience with. I need help with the things that I haven't thought of and the areas that I lack aptitude. Filling in the holes so to speak. There is something missing from my concept that is vitally important to the success of this endeavor. I am hoping this kickstarter project will flush it out. I have trouble giving credit where credit is due

Yet another wearable electronic doodad... except for monitoring farts instead of hearts: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/963861855/keep-track-of-your-gases-with-ch4 It lets you input what you eat, and correlates that with how much you fart. They appear to be on track to fail miserably. Apparently, they couldn't find that many people who are seriously self-conscious about their flatulence. ODiN - World's first projection mouse A laser projection trackpad which looks like the Decepticon insignia. Kind of like those laser projection keyboards that have been around for several years now and never achieved meaningful popularity, most likely because they require a dimly lit room and can't track your fingers accurately enough for practical typing.

Experts disagree. quote:The geographic qualifier 'Hindu Kush Himalayan' is not very precise. ICIMOD's target area includes the Karakorum, the Pamir, and other neighbouring ranges. The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region extends 3,500 km over all or part of eight countries from Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar in the east.
