Yaos posted:I've been looking for a microcontroller hand held device that cramps my hands and strains my eyes. I thought I would never find it, but Arduboy has saved the day. It's also less powerful than the original Gameboy released in 1989. The CPU is ~8x faster, but it has a 2-color 128x64 OLED vs the GB's 4-color 160 × 144 LCD, has a beeper instead of a real speaker, ~8x less RAM (2.5KB vs 16KB), and has 6 buttons instead of 8. It also doesn't have a dedicated video chip.

Do you want to play lovely black-and-white ripoffs of 8-bit games from twenty years ago, on a tiny handheld, with a postage-stamp sized screen? Well do I have the console for you

Does every tech kickstarter no matter how bad or unnecessary make like 10-100x its goal?

From the PYF Schadenfreude thread:MisterBibs posted:I don't feel much Schaden over this, but somebody might: These guys livestreamed their celebration when they apparently met their goal but then they suddenly lost €7,000 half an hour before the deadline and failed. It looks like someone found a bunch of Kickstarter projects which were just about to end but were thousands of dollars short of their goals and made a bunch of fake pledges to make them think they were successful but when Kickstarter realised what was happening they deleted the pledges.

So I imagine they deleted them because it was a specifically reported user that would've made a bunch of projects end up with a significant chunk of money missing either way.

Sandbox, MMO, Voxel, VR, Oculus, Infinite. It has so many buzzwords in it that it can't possibly materialize but it will most likely be funded.

It's using a blockchain for asset tracking, according to a goon involved in the project. There's been quite a bit of argument about it in the Kickstarter Gaming thread.
