SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Wasn't there a C&D or close to it from Nintendo over this? Yep, he was originally ballsy enough to bill himself as Star Fox: The Animated Series and then when Nintendo had it taken down he changed the name to "St*r Fox" and then finally "A Fox in Space" was enough for him to get away with making money off of Nintendo's IP. I wonder if he resents the fact that after years of working on his fan cartoon in varying capacities Nintendo beat him to the punch by five days when it came time to actually release the thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA2-0nTxaGg

fishmech posted:That's literally how the whole "cold pressed juice" fad works. You have to chop up the fruits and veg into very small bits and then squeeze it. Their thing was that they'd sell the pre-chopped up bits to you so you didn't have to go to the effort of doing it yourself at home, since you for some reason are a rich doofus who doesn't know regular juice is a better option. Facebook keeps shilling Juicero at me and it's fun to read people calling them out in the comments and the company trying to defend themselves. Apparently, their machine has an extra layer of bullshit where it won't even press the bag if it's like more than 3 days or a week old or something like that. Because then you're not getting all the right nutrients and you're a stupid baby who can't make their own decisions about the juicebag you bought.

Doubt he gives a poo poo, because his video is gorgeously smooth animation, where the Nintendo official video is that lovely low-frame-rate CG animation that Japan loves to keep doing over and over even though it looks like complete rear end.

It's not that the juice is old it's that by then the juice has lost its chi life force. Seriously, that's the reason.

I have a feeling this Juicero thing could only ever be invented in the US. I don't think anyone from another country would think people want a 400$ machine and copyrighted pods to make juice.

Because there are 0 preservation methods used, since if you buy this thing you think preservation methods are evil. The bags are only available to buy in a limited number of states because spending more than a certain time in shipping will all but guarantee the bag will be all hosed up and unsafe to drink from, especially in summer. Guy Mann posted:Yes but on the other hand the Nintendo one doesn't have a cameo from a furry vore comic strip and has actual jokes and action more involved than people standing around talking. If you want a star fox cartoon in the first place, furry vore is probably something you're also into honestly. And I think that probably goes double for if you backed its Kickstarter.

The dry humor fox in space goes for doesn't need the star fox part at all. No character in that series has any depth they could just explain anything needed to known from star fox as basis in a second. Also the best parts of Harvey birdman are the prosecutors and they're nothing like their base characters.

I've worked in a pediatric feeding center, where they address issues like food refusal/low calorie intake, oral motor deficits, pica, food selectivity/extreme pickiness, etc. They take all of those exact measures during therapy and they are incredibly important. And not a goddamned ONE of those centers would want that stupid fork over having a plain stopwatch.

That'd be nice yeah, but the literal only thing that fork there tracks is how quickly it's lifted. It has no other sensors. So naturally, with their kickstarter back in 2013 they got $134,743 pledged of $100,000 goal from 1,268 backers
