http://www.wsj.com/articles/sony-to-open-crowdfunding-site-for-employees-business-ideas-1435667970 Sony is taking this "Kickstarter to throw money at large corporations" thing a little too literally. At some point people realize they're being used.

Xandu posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/304663181/slip-cuptm-clean-beer-pong This removes the fun of fingering spinning balls out of cups. And like you said, it's unnecessary. Back in my beer pong days, everyone I knew just switched to water for the cups and drinking straight from a bottle at the appropriate times. Maybe a little less fun, but it also prevents drunks from spilling beer on the table. And you don't have to refill cups between games.

"They keep your fingers dry and don't put stains on the floor! Hey why are you guys throwing them out stop" I assume 90%+ of beer pong is played in college, but maybe this is appealing to the 10% played as "water pong" at church camps.

I think ol Robby was a better artist:  Also I misremembered, he cut them off like just above where the feet would be so it looks really weird The indiegogo ended with $27,610 canadian out of a $5,000 canadian goal. 5 people paid $2500 canadian each to be made into a character in the game. This is one of those characters:  This was all on the indiegogo page.

It makes building the thing way easier if you're really cutting corners but still want to have multiple speeds, or advertising to a certain breed of audiophiles.

Belts are better isolation from the motor's vibration. But you can't DJ with a belt-drive. High-end stuff that's supposed to sound really good (Where "really good" involves vinyl, go figure) frequently uses belt drives, DJs buy Technics with direct-drive platters.

It's the tacticool nonsense. It's the dude mentioning that he was a roughneck on an oil rig like a manly man and not some mincing candy-pants nancyboy. It's mentioning MY WAIFU in the first paragraph so everyone knows How Straight he is. Like any of that is relevant. The dude has no faith in his own product because he's trying to sell it as a lifestyle accessory to nerds who would EDC an anti-tank rifle if their JNCOs could accommodate it.

Plenty of the Japanese ones are drawn abysmally, but the shading/coloring is usually good enough to mask it. e: though when they're drawn that badly, it's usually because they're poking fun, like Gakuen Handsome. And this is no Gakuen Handsome. Pick has a new favorite as of 21:07 on Jul 1, 2015 |

poo poo like that is so poorly drawn because the artist's (hah) education consist of half-assedly coping stuff found in some garbage How to Draw My First Anime Waifu instruction book and maybe read some lovely internet tutorials. Add the complete absence of skill and talent to a cripplingly awful style, and you've got someone who shits out whatever this is.

Yeah and where a lot of Japanese VN art is half-asssed, a ton of English ones are like eighth-assed at best, especially when they have a fetish hook that'll make sure people will pay for it regardless.

Visual Novels are such a niche market in English, that I imagine you've basically got a captive audience if you appeal to VN fans with a specific fetish. It's why back in the day even badly drawn furry art could rake in money if it appealed to the dick-nipple cat-centaur fans. Transformation fetish fans especially have deep pockets and some pretty terrible standards, judging by the average art quality of this kind of thing.

The "OELVNs that aren't complete garbage" category is pretty much just OMGWTFOTL and Katawa Shoujo. And that second one is about finding true love at a school for disabled children. Christine Love's stuff isn't bad either but she's Canadian so she doesn't count.
