I can have pretty pictures of fake things or ugly pictures of real things. Sad.

Too bad I no longer have the hat or scarf; I could redo the photos. Oh well.

Moebius scarf:



Klein bottle hat:



The Moebius scarf has a pattern of figure eight knots, alternating facing in or out since that was the only way I could make it reversible. The Klein bottle hat has the same pattern in the widest parts with infinity signs spaced throughout the decreasing areas.

Please knit Schrödinger's hat - you're already half-way to quantum knitting.

'You know what other companies see? Money.'

Well, so do citizens. They see it on the front page of CIG's website. Bobbing up and down, that blue line of hope that is actively saving PC gaming. They think about their own money, their investment, they're involvement in the cause, that graph going up and down is an anxiety you can do something about, you can post about the money, you can brag about the money, you can compare the money, you can defend the money, it's being part of the community of enablers, dreamers and sycophants.

But you can't follow the money. Because it's open development.

I guess this is what Chrizzis Rizzobberts meant by "saving PC gaming". He actually meant to say "save PC gaming publishers from dwindling income." Thanks CR.

After the split I guess we'll see a return to Full Speed Ahead on Ship Sales. Money will have to come from somewhere and it's probably not going to presales of SQ42 so time to add some more engineering debt to the ledger. They can worry about delivering on it later. Much later.

The Klein bottle hat is already a Schrödinger-esque project: It's either a hat or not a hat depending on whether you're wearing it or trying to make it wearable.

I really hope they do this because I think the backlash will be pretty entertaining. Although I'm not sure what moves CIG can make at this point, short of actually delivering a product, that won't induce backlash.

Doobie might actually be more organised than The Crobber. While ultimately a failure and seemingly lacking any solid business plan, he did manage to turn that crapshack into a functioning food outlet for a short while, even if the food was garbage. And set up mechanic business too.

I guess if they hold you liable for content passing through your account, you might actually be able to refund everything which went through that account.

If you took CIG's word at the way the world worked. You could have a private company selling spaceship jpgs for a game, the ability to gift ships/packages to other people that could be melted into credits to buy different crap. Then you create a system that encourages people to gift items to each other, such as to obtain LTI, then you can deny refunds to anything you gifted away (as you give it away), plus anything you received (you didn't pay for it), plus fight chargebacks on any item you bought and gave away as "dude, that's obviously fraud, it exists you just gave it away". Then for the refunds you do allow, close the accounts and any spare credits/ships disappear and you keep the worthless fiat.

If you're an accountant how do you register a $250 preorder that nobody owns, it was gifted to someone who gets a refund for his other spacesships, he's told he can't get the $250 gifted ship refunded and then account is closed. Is there a special column for magic money that people just give you with no obligation on your part to fulfill anything?

Now if you could get everyone who paid to have gifted everything at least once, then they no longer own anything they bought and in fact are completely separated from any legal commitments to deliver. "I paid $45 for this game and you haven't delivered it", "Bob paid $45, our contact is with him, take it up with him if you aren't happy". "Hey Bob here, where's that $45 thing I bought?", "We checked our records Bob, apparently you gave it away, due to customer confidentially we can't obviously discuss what the current owner has done with it with you".

However, as many commentators have pointed out, if crowd funding is to mature as an alternative funding source for games of all budget sizes, it will ultimately need to include safeguards against insufficient planning or plain abuse.
