i think japanese kickstarter would actually work out well because if anyone fails to deliver a product they'll just kill themselves and the backers will get blood

how about a game where you upload pictures of yourself as a child, and those are used to create a 3d model of yourself as a child. then you get to play as a bully who beats the poo poo out of your own dumb kid self

nah there's a legit requirement here, emergency services need separate communications because you can't count on cell phones working during an emergency

the problem isn't the idea, it's just the usual combination of the idea not actually being new + the person with the idea not being competent to deliver it

i see all these people paying $$$$ for aluminum cnc keyboard cases. i wonder if people would pay me if i designed one and had someplace do MIM to make it out of stainless steel so it's heavy.

i think they're trying to suggest that their keyboards are so high-quality that you'll be able to pass them down to future generations

what is it called when some kruegerrand obsesses over the little details of something but completely ignores the most important parts of a project? like that furry bitcoiner loganschrye who listed out all of the types of soda he would have at his movie theater but didn't know or care about licensing or equipment or utilities. is it just mental illness/autism/being a literal child or is there a better word for it?
