Somebody likes something, time to complain on the internet about it!

I think it is cool fans get to see a movie made when before all they could do is write letters and hope somebody cares, now you just send a bunch of money to people and all of the sudden they care and now maybe we can get a proper ending to the TV show Alf.

the Bitcoin thread posted:

Too bad Alf is not longer on the air.

Willie: (yelling) Alf, what are you building?
Alf: What?
Willie: You know what. The computer looking contraption.
Alf: Oh! That thing. It's nothing.
Willie: Well, that nothing sure is making a lot of noise.
Alf: What?
Willie: (yelling) I said that thing is making a lot of noise.
Alf: You've been dating a lot of boys? I suggest you not tell Kate.
Willie: (unplugging the machine) That ain't what I said. Now what are you doing.
Alf: If you must know, I'm hashing money.
Willie: Really! Hash and money just doesn't sound like something we should be doing in my law abiding home.
Alf: Contraire, Willie. I'm hashing money in the garage.
Willie: Fine! How does it work.
Alf: I don't know, but last month I, I mean we, made an extra $247.
Kate: (enters the garage with a frown on her face) Willie, have you seen this month's electric bill? It looks like it's $263 more the previous month.
Willie: Alf!
Alf: Don't look at me. I don't have a clue as to what the other $16 could be contributed to.
Kate: What is going on here, and why are there pictures of some Japanese guy hung on all the walls with a burning candle in front of them?
Willie: I've seen that guy before.
Alf: Where? There's some things I want to ask him. By the way, since you're going to find out anyway when you get your credit card statement, I pre-ordered something.
Willie and Kate (in unison): What is it?
Alf: I don't know. The details were a little sketchy, but trust me.
Brian: (enters the garage) Dad, a couple guys in black suits just drove up in a black car.
Alf: Quick! Hide the rig.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:

The leading conspiracy theory is still that Chloe is actually trans trying t get funds for a gender reassignment surgery. This is a loving mess.

You mean like how in the Eurogamer article it explicitly says "She also said she wants a different surgery that costs $29,000 that isn't medically necessary but will make her life great"?

I mean no offense to the trans community but it's pretty clear that Chloe Sagal is transitioning MtF and trying to scam SRS surgery out of the internet.

Haven't we already been told to shut the gently caress up about gender identity issues in this thread?

Here's a "CrowdSupply" campaign -- a $120 mason jar-based French Press that you supply the mason jar for.

So is there anything distinguishing crowdsupply from kickstarter?

edit: Neil Gaiman's going to be in a movie
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2126085206/blood-kiss

The website looks completely different! :v:

_{Actually they kinda acknowledge that it's basically a pre-order service and have 'stages' where a thing is Crowdfunded, then Pre-Ordered (after the goal is met), and then just Sold (by CrowdSupply, so they can skim profits).}

Realtors use them all the time, (granted, not a word-combo), that's actually not a horrible deal for $30

Sounds like any other socially inept 15 year old kid.

Hi im Marc and im 15 years old! I've been a gamer for a long time, and have started several websites and business's so far in my lifetime. I like starting business's that deal with gaming. I used custom paint xbox controllers but it made my Asthma worse so i had to stop. I enjoy making custom designed tshirt but the heatpress kept making my electricity go out. My new business TrickshotApparel will use a garnet printer to customize the tshirts. Many gamers myself included have a hard time finding clothing that feels comfortable my favorite tshirt is made out of bamboo.

I kinda feel bad for him.

Not anymore... /r/atheism has become a barren wasteland of boring, sterile, repetitive nonsense ever since the denizens of /r/christianity got all butthurt about how they were being mocked. The mods decided to put some inanely draconian rules into place because of it.

He was being sarcastic. Reddit and especially the Atheism subreddit are a cesspool.

First off, you make the huge mistake that every "creative" does when they're pitching their pet project -- you are personally invested in your imagined universe and spit out a mile of poo poo that nobody cares about. I have NO IDEA what the plot of this thing is other than "There's an infection, since it's called Infection, and it's a "Sci-Fi Thriller". Work on an elevator pitch -- why do I give a poo poo about this story? I shouldn't have to read Character Bios to find out *anything* about it.

I skimmed and ended up reading (and hating) the Characters section.

1) Bad writing. Everything is repetitive and full of abstract meaningless :words:

. "your pivotal role ultimately dictates the narrative." "A passionate revolutionary, he is a character with strong opinions and stronger motivations."

2) You didn't do any research. You invented the "Engineer" and then described an actual Boatswain. You picked Boatswain out of a hat (because it sounds cool?) and then completely misdefined it as your "captain's right hand man".

3) lovely gender politics. The Nav Tech is "One of the few women on the ship" and is, of course, dressed in boob armor with a bare midriff and tight pants. I'm praying that I'm reading between the lines incorrectly with "nurse" and "A re-purposed entertainment bot" but please tell me you're not writing in "a pleasure model :reddit:

" Ugh.

4) "The Dog - Mascot character and lovable member of the crew. Do you believe in Dog?"
Nope, I don't.

EDIT: Jesus loving christ you weasel

Risks posted:

Our game is already written, and it is written in pieces that allow us to program it in nearly any language and adapt it to different systems because of this piece system. The main thing stopping us from putting out game out now is our lack of art assets and music, two rather expensive things.

So basically you came up with a story. You don't have code, even though you imply you do. I don't know if you mean programming language or linguistic language, but either way you're not going to magically "program it in nearly any language" without an actual programmer, an actual codebase, or alternatively multiple translators. Not Google Translate.

The main risk, according to you, is the lack of any actual parts of a game. Code. Visuals. Music.
