I like the look of those watches at the $400 level. But I know they won't ship. Kinda sucks. Don't suppose they exist on alibaba already?

Watches are just one more facet of cargo-cult masculinity that the internet has latched onto and made a way bigger deal about than it ever deserved.

It's always glorious when they gently caress up, I especially liked that one where in the ground module destroyed clutter would just shatter into randomly teleporting and fast pieces of shrapnel which would make for an amazing mutator in a better game but in theirs it just seems tedious. Fun to read about though. Kind of amazed they didn't manage to finish their ground shooty game though, it's loving CryEngine, that's what it does they should be long done with that by now.

Gamer badges. For when you think having played a board game or video game is an achievement, and need to let everyone else know about it (and insist that they now bend the rules because you bought an embroidered patch and had your mom iron it on for you). Also carry around the card in your wallet now I guess? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1705440407/gamer-badges

Jedit posted:How the living Christ can you fail to make a physics engine that fails to work on such a basic level? Their physics engine operates in a weird relative frame of reference model where all ships are their own universes with their own physics and origin point and up and down directions, and then each of those separate physics universes has to constantly talk to each other about what is happening so if you're walking fowards inside ship universe A that means you're walking downwards relative to ship universe B which is also backwards relative to netural-space universe C... Oh and don't forget that somebody is on ship D and is pooping and so you have poop physics universe D and that person can look out a window and see person A and person B both glitching out like crazy because none of this is a good idea. Otisburg posted:Real answer: they are using the Crytek engine for their space shooter. Yeah also they're building a universe simulator in Crytek which is the dumbest loving idea imaginable. Basically because they're too lazy to program good graphics themselves. Star Citizen is sooooo hosed.

I paid a local guy £10 for a painting once on kickstarter, he made something like £50 in the end and got his funding. I got the picture and a little letter of thanks so I guess that counts as a success?

For reference, the plane that flew into WTC 2 was a Boeing 767, which retails for about $160 million.

Also the cost of the WTC was ~~4bn, say if they're only doing 1 tower say only one tower if it doesn't need to meet code or have plumbing/HVAC/wiring for human habitation maybe ~250 mil? IDK a lot more than 1.5 mill. If this actually did get the funding it needed through some wish-granting fairy or whatever, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for each of the meetings with regulatory agencies where they shop around for a location explaining the project trying to get the permits to do this... thing.

Phase changes take a lot of energy. The EEVBlog guy did a video about it and for the performance they claim at 100% efficiency, you'd need a .6 square meter solar panel. If they actually produce something you may get maybe an ounce per day out of it.

Technically it works, but I doubt you could survive on the amount of water it would generate. It's also going to be useless if the air is dry.
