https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antsylabs/irla-in-real-life-achievements/ "Think of them as collectibles you earn" (by buying them and just giving them to yourself arbitrarily) How do I use IRLA? To begin your IRLA journey, all you have to do is answer this question: What do I want to experience, achieve, track, or improve? Learn a new language? Play more tabletop games? Drink more water each day? Pick up a new instrument? Be more mindful of the time you spend on your devices? Run a 10K? A half-marathon? A marathon? Watch those films/TV series you keep putting off? Get out of your comfort zone? Read more? Make healthier food choices? Better your local community? Track video game challenges? Explore new places? "I beat Halo on legendary mode, time to break out a new videogame token!" Buy our stupid tokens today and celebrate your mediocrity with a commemorative cringe-trinket forever! I challenge anyone to find an active kickstarter project stupider than this!

given that this is absolutely dumb as hell the appropriate course of action is to find out how to invest everything i own in it because morons will eat it up

Lol. You make up you're own "achievements" and arbitrary rules and you give yourself the tokens that you yourself bought. Jesus. I can buy an advent calendar and just eat all of the chocolates whenever I want. No one is stopping me.

Sadly the Kickstarter page was removed, but the dumbest KS I’ve seen was for a board game called “Bag of Penis”. Fortunately some of the info was preserved at BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/309956/bag-penis

Welp I guess this was a pretty decent grift after all, because they just surpassed their minimum funding ($10,000). I did not expect this.

I give this a month, tops, before there's a 'scandal' with one of the top backers just instantly achieving everything in every pack they buy and zooming to the top of the high score list, instantly rendering it worthless. Bonus points if all the top contributors who aren't family/friends are doing that and the project only met its goal because of the cheaters.

I can't wait to pass my tokens to my shithead nephew when I die. Haha, he's gonna be pissed. He'll probably through them in the trash afterwards... My life's accomplishments in a classy attaché lost to the anals of time.

The popularity of this project makes me wonder if there is a large subset of people who cannot envision trying new things without a tangible way to brag to other people that they have done so. Well, beyond posting selfies

I mean its not the *worst* kickstarter ive seen. For this to work you cant really cheat yourself and must have self discipline and people who try to gameify their lives dont strike me as that group which would be completely honest with this.Dr. Quarex posted:The popularity of this project makes me wonder if there is a large subset of people who cannot envision trying new things without a tangible way to brag to other people that they have done so. Well, beyond posting selfies this too, to some extent. but also if you're living life doing things only to brag about them then it seems like you have much bigger problems that metal tokens cant fix.
