Over 900k people have pledged $84 million to Star Citizen over the past 3 years. It's still making multiple millions every month. It'll either be one the of the most incredible game experiences ever or one of the most colossal failures in industry history.

Why would posting photos of Asian people make it a Chinese scam? That's a really dumb assumption to jump to, and then share. The track record would hold that photos of white fuckers with beards has the strongest correlation to failure and scams, but I don't see him posting anything about the honky menace. . . Hm.

Sorry for the multi page racism derail. What I wrote totally reads as racist, no digging up from that but that's not what I intended. I'll just leave it as a dumb, poorly worded statement.  Now how about that Star Citizen? Truly it's the worst kickstarter.  EDIT: Ha ha, they delayed again. Surprise surprise, the FPS module was supposed to be out in March.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:Why would posting photos of Asian people make it a Chinese scam? Slow down and read the post carefully. He worries that his post will sound racist because they're Asian. He's not talking about Chinese bulk purchases because they're Asian. He's talking about Chinese bulk purchases because that's a common kickstarter scam. I know it's fun to be morally outraged, but there's no way to interpret the original sentence as making judgements based on race. Only if you skip and rearrange the words does that happen. Edit: Oh this is fun, when I want a tiny band of fabric for a wallet I know my first thought is attaching a giant battery pack to it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1078411325/e-wallet-the-smart-charging-wallet Dylan16807 has a new favorite as of 00:02 on Jun 30, 2015 |

To stop the derail...PathAsc posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/862339253/fahrenheit-2451-preserve-your-data-for-eternity/description This one is one of the dumbest loving things I've seen here, because it actually tries to paint itself as a real backup solution. It's not even (like the hipster kickstarters that just repackage something that already exists) something usable yet overpriced, it's just completely useless for its described purpose. Not only is it useless to backup software, audio or video, but it's also absolutely impractical for recovering the backed up data.

The nanoform thing is clearly more of an art piece than an actual backup solution. You can probably project images on your wall with a torch, too. It's overpriced, of course, but I can see why someone would want to put it on a shelf. You can engrave something with sentimental value like your wedding vows with a photo, for example, or your child's birth certificate.

Poorly worded, I sounded totally racist. Whoops.), I was right about the whole resell thing. Oh, and their logo was awful. Snuffman has a new favorite as of 14:42 on Jun 30, 2015 |

It may still be legit. They didn't change the company name or anything, and the C1 doesn't have the SD card slot that the C1pro does. It may be just the company using kickstarter mostly for advertising.

For example, every single decorative tungsten cube/sphere kickstarter - you can go on alibaba and buy bulk tungsten cut to whatever dimensions you specify if your ordering quantity is enough. All you gotta do is QC the rejects, polish and repackage.
