Yeah, baby! i got to the part about their "product ecosystem" and realized that if they were real, Ray Shmuckles and Tina Whatever her last name was would have absolutely started that lifestyle brand, they'd have put it on Kickstarter, they'd make enough money for Ray to buy his soul back from the Devil. Then I realized I was writing fanfic in my bain so I swallowed a whole powerdrill & turned it on.

Slide rules are actually pretty clever, but there's better ways to do what they do - mostly involving a calculator. On the other hand, it's possible for a skilled abacus operator to perform operations faster than someone with a calculator. Guess they're in the wrong business.

Great Rumbler posted:Truly these fine folks have a handle on the great issue of our times! I think that point has to be reiterated. Part of the reason that Nintendo never had issues with cartridge games is because they had to pass not only the creators' quality assurance department but Nintendo's as well. And even then you still have bugs creep up, like that Goldeneye "spinning guards" glitch.

anticake posted:Another good example is whichever SNES Final Fantasy it was that some stats (like MDEF) did nothing. Final Fantasy VI, which despite being really simple mechanically had vast swaths of its combat system fundamentally broken; not only were there stats that did nothing but there were also status effects that didn't work and items whose abilities didn't trigger. It makes you really appreciate modern games because even somthing as massive and complex as Skyrim was never that broken.

Groovelord Neato posted:this is cool is there anywhere you can read about this. I'll draw special attention to the Sketch glitch, which is about as bad as a glitch can get (short of arbitrary code execution), and is fairly easy to stumble upon in casual play. (The 'Murder everything' update in the link covers a few other gems, like the Psycho Cyan glitch.) FreeKillB has a new favorite as of 21:28 on Sep 19, 2015 |

Who runs that? Because they really shouldn't be listing Pathfinder Online as "normal progress, some signs of risk" after what happened with them.

The Yogventures and Forsaken Fortress entries are also outdated. Yogventures was indeed cancelled but a different dev is basically making that game now

It's also missing Sword of Fargoal 2 from the "Under 75k successes". Development has been very slow because the guy behind it rather obviously made up the last few thousand out of his own savings, but the backers do have a playable beta. It's doing better than bloody Desktop Dungeons, which I think was four years late.

So remember those glowing cat ear headphones on indieGogo? So the good news for backers is they're finally being made and shipped out soon after Brookstone (everyone's fave maker of overpriced crap) bought out the project. The bad news is by buying it through Brookstone you get them with free shipping and cheaper than the original indieGogo price, and no sooner than the people buying it through the store. That, and it's cheap Brookstone crap. Way to reward the backers there. Edit: Brookstone has since raised their price on their website; I guess they realized the optics were kinda bad. stillvisions has a new favorite as of 04:09 on Sep 23, 2015 |

For the best electrical conductivity and styling, we chose this in 18 K Gold. A squircle? Really? Also check your punctuation there guys.
