Dude was so horned up by another dude's illustrations that he made a terrible deal because he just had to have them for his porn game. That's my hot take.

Who writes contracts with a pen? Even before computers, I’m pretty sure that typewriters were preferable.

Tablets used two hands before it was cool. BRB, hammering my chisel.

This went from interesting to :lol: very quickly. I wonder if they are going to reuse the code from homebrew Genesis Wolf3D.

Have we ever talked about CA making a kickstarter for their gameshow? They raised something like 90 thousand dollars and its awful. Their physical challenge is hungry hungry hippos and those dollar store fish games where you fish up fish with magnets.

Uh, they run literally the same as they did on higher than recommended spec for their release. Not really sure what more you want, there's a ton of licensing issues for the source ports, and there were even more licensing issues like 10 years ago when they were first re-released on Steam.

Special earplugs that do what the kickstarter metal earplugs claim to do cost about five times as much as they're asking. So if that poo poo works I'll buy a pair.

That's okay, someone will run a kickstarter for a device that you can use to trick the smart pasta pot into thinking you're using compatible pasta pods.

What do you mean specifically? There's a lot of :words: on that page but not much specific, from what I've seen. Regular plugs and monitors are designed specifically to transmit the various frequencies appropriately which I doubt a chunk of titanium can replicate.



Also note how they don't seem to make any specific claims about the resulting attenuation or anything else really, like you'd expect:



I dunno, maybe they'll be great, it's certainly not as idiotic as lot of other kickstarters, but I'm a bit skeptical.
