A Serious Candidate For a Serious Time
Their definition of a dose is 1/20 of an ounce and each pod only contains 2 doses. Single use sunscreen packets tend to be around half an ounce.

It doesn't even matter because there's only room for 2 squirts of sunscreen. Who the gently caress wants that?

You'd have to carry around dozens of the pods, and then you'd have all these empty pods you have to clean and refill every time you want to go to the beach.

Carrying a single bottle is massively more convenient.

So, what you're saying is it's even more monetizable?

Monetizable to a brain dead fad chasing customer base. I dunno how good an investment that will turn out to be. I mean seriously, Kickstarters may give cash injections to the kind of business that could never get off the ground, but that may just mean it's clear they'd never stay off the ground if they ever took flight.

I backed a Kickstarter for some bike wheel locks back in October of 2014. It is now August of 2016 and this fuckman still hasn't delivered me his bullshit product. The last email update was June 1st, where he was offering to ship them to people who paid for their own shipping. Lol nice try idiot, you won't scam me twice.

Huh, a pod-based sunscreen applicator for the wrist? Like, it sprays it out as a mist at intervals or something? I can't see why anybody would need that.
*clicks link*

It... It's a small tube of regular-old sunscreen. It just squeezes it out into your hands like a regular thing. Who could possibly need this?

If you drew a dumb little thing for a stupid little webcomic and had a chance to cash in on it in a pretty major way, wouldn't you do it? I mean, at least it's not as embarrassing as DickButt

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE


Game 15 of 35, KUBB/COOB DODGEBALL, I was expecting the batons to be thrown at someone, possibly limited to an area encircled by the blocks, sorely disappointed that it was the batons being thrown at the red/blue blocks

Don't touch me there - Noone has that right.
You know they really have their poo poo together when they can't even keep their spelling straight (COOB in the name vs KUBB in the video clip descriptions).

Also, why the hell did they pare down the set to only be 6 blocks and 3 sticks? There isn't even a king piece - it's like trying to play chess with a set of checkers.

Why pay for one good, well thought out game, when you can buy 35 lovely hacked together games instead!
