"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." He said, "Jeez dude, you are cool and all, but chill with the clingyness When you saw only one set of footprints, It was when i shut off my stupid footwarmers"

nawcom posted:when you grew up with that book you'll always remember the artwork from it I just remember two stories. One about a lady that had a scarf on and some guy was like in love with her and one day he was like, 'why are you always wearing a scarf' and she said 'take it off' and her head fell off, the end. The other was just a really long build-up about like "in a swamp there was a house, and in the house there was a stair, and up the stair there was a hall, and down the hall there was a door, and past he door there was a room..." and then it all built up to nothing. But yeah, the art on that book was 2spoopy.

I remember these stories too, but the scarf story one I had definitely had color pictures, which I don't think the Scary Stories series ever had. Also, wasn't the joke in the second one that it was like "in a dark house there were dark stairs, and up the dark stairs was a dark room" etc until the end where it's like "in the dark crawlspace there was an electrician fixing the power" edit - well the ribbon story is super common. I can't find the book I originally read it in and I wish I could find which one it was because it had a picture with the woman's head on the floor and it freaked me the gently caress out back in the day.

The series was reprinted without Stephen Gammell's illustrations. Who thought that was a good idea.

I can't even imagine how out of touch a publisher would have to be to do that. Then again that was probably the most scarring book I read as a kid because of those. And I love it for that.

Hell, he says he needs to get 10x 3D printers to step up production of the cases... No damnit, outsource that poo poo to China... It just gets worse from there.

Lol at 3D printing parts for consumer use. It's a rapid prototyping platform, damnit! Also, "bought the 3D printers, need to hire a dude to service the printers constantly now. Delays expected and I need another 60k."

I've seen a few people in the comments of delayed 3D printer kickstarters bitching about how the printer was key to their business and they're set back because of delayed delivery so I guess there are more than a few people out there who think that they'll hit it big with one.

Do you like Atari 2600 games? Would you like to play them on your wrist for the low, low price of $199? How about, uh, Terraria?? GOOD NEWS They previously made a Minecraft wearable that didn't come with Minecraft.

Lol it looks like you can't even play terraria on it and the Atari games only have touch screen controls. I don't get it.

It's like an inch by an inch wide and it can only play games from the early 80s, who the gently caress could possibly be interested in it to buy it let alone fund it I feel like this thing could have existed a decade ago as a brief novelty but wtf every single person who would want this prob already has a smart phone that can play actual modern games on it. Look at that screen with pong. How could you possibly even play it your finger would take up 1/3 of the screen

Except that one is more functional because you can play it without having your thumb covering up the entire screen. Like I'm trying to imagine how to play Pong on that thing, it just doesn't seem like it would work at all.

So... what do their Minecraft and Terraria watches do that a $10 thumb drive can't do already (without having to carry around a USB3 cable)? I love this animation of inserting an SD card, which is obviously reversed footage.

I think they may have been overestimated how much clout Coppola has in this day and age considering it's been decades since he's made anything noteworthy. Even Steve Spielberg was only able to parlay his Hollywood success into a single mid-budget casual Wii game.
