miguelito posted:I don't know what amazes me more - the ingenuity of some scammers, or the stupidity of the internet. There is a week long camp where people are taught to use RPG Maker? That has to be a giant racket but if it's not also being run by the people behind that camp I'll be really loving surprised. I imagine the camp is like this: Day 1, hour 1: Introduction to RPG Maker. Day 1, hour 2: No really, you're done with the introduction. Day 2-7: Make your game while we count money.

widdle daughter (who plays on PS3 and Kindle HD) to visit RPG Camp so she can make an RPG. This is because a.) her brothers called her a poopyhead and this is clearly the best solution and b.) it's a meaningful step to make "Girls in Tech" (verbatim quote from the thumbnail) more relevant.

Jalumibnkrayal posted:From the Project Zomboid thread, an indie game developer is dying from a piece of shrapnel embedded in her body from a car crash several years ago: "Typically in these situations, people usually jump on the malpractice bandwagon, however, I was very lucky to have made it through that accident, and I could not have survived without the care of medical staff involved. Mistakes happen, and besides, I was working full time and I had insurance." How the gently caress does this make any sense? They then say how they went to court (twice?) and lost because they weren't prepared; meaning if they went to court they almost certainly did it on their own. I know insurance companies are evil as gently caress but surely even a mediocre lawyer can win a case with a client in a "if they do not get treatment they will die" I mean our courts haven't become that useless have they? Although if reddit comments are to be believe supposedly indiegogo checked in to the claims and found them to be legit.

Especially if what they were doing went against my ethics (My ethics being dishonest with people why you want money, not gender reassignment). So we have an editor who went through this and now because there is the whole gender reassignment issue the editor is getting attacked on twitter.. When someone says "Do X or I kill myself" you need to alert the authorities and pass on the details of the suicide threat being made. Sitting on it and going along with a lie is pretty hosed up. Gaming media gets poo poo on for being worthless all the time and this doesn't help their image.

Nnep posted:In other news, the future is here! I've seen a free reports from E3 saying that this thing is actually pretty cool to use with the Occulus Rift. It's expensive as gently caress though and spending several hundred dollars on that, then several hundred on a rift, is not going to be popular (throw in more money for something like the Razer Naga or w/e it's called) with the price tag on it. The biggest benefit would be all the movement you'd do playing games, so that could increase the appeal for non-marathon gaming. taiyoko posted:Yeah, unless you live somewhere where it regularly gets over 90°F in the summer. Otherwise you have to get up at the asscrack of dawn or wait until 10-11 pm for the temperature to get to something reasonable. In the south when it gets hot enough it can still be close to 90 at night. When we had that heatwave last year I think it was 91 or 92F at 2am on one of those days. I think my AC ran non-stop for about 60 hours.  KittyLitter posted:Sooooooo..... Isn't actual Kobe Beef illegal in the US because the way Japan does things doesn't pass USDA requirements? Kickstarter being a US-based company could get in deep poo poo for essentially funding something that isn't legal. Most people don't know anything about Kobe Beef other than it's supposed to be good. When I see 'Kobe' Beef at a restaurant here in the US I just consider it an idiot tax on people that buy it since they're just paying a premium to be duped. The page in the comments detailing this scam is pretty good though. At least kickstarter acts on violations when they won't get negative press for doing so. The only person I know who has actually had Kobe beef, while he was in Japan anyways, mentioned it was good but nothing amazing. Personally I'll take bison over beef 9 times out of 10.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:If people haven't been reading the other thread here's an article about KS's response to the backlash and their explanation as to why they didn't shut it down before it ended. Basically the guy kept the really creepy stuff out of the KS description and they decided that they couldn't use off-site stuff to influence their decision. Weeeeeeaksauce. Saying they couldn't use offsite info is pretty flimsy. If You look at a KS and see the one running it has posted Date Rape advice elsewhere and is raising money for a 'seduction' guide on your site, you shut them the gently caress down as a safety precaution. Even if they were making something legitimate it's the same reason why you'd distance yourself from hate groups. Their eventual apology doesn't excuse them in the slightest for being this stupid. The General posted:I'm not sure what any of this means other than KSs official policy is "We don't give a poo poo, because we get money." Pretty much. People can argue that pulling it down even if they only knew with two hours to go (which is a bullshit excuse) could have been negative for them if they hosed up, but sometimes you need to err on the side of caution. If they had been wrong then the worst case scenario is they say they had pulled it due to concerns over the topic and then roll out the "we're not allowing these guides, sorry" information. PostNouveau posted:Ugh. That's pretty much exactly what that tool wants, more publicity. He asked a Jezebel author to call him out when he started the Kickstarter. I hope he gets doxx'd and followed around for awhile at bars and clubs so that he can get charged for his next assault, or he puts the wrong person's hand on his dick and they rip it right off his body. TheJoker138 posted:You are saying this literally right after Kickstarter took down the project page so he can't make anymore money and then donated $25k to a charity due to it. But yes, nothing at all positive has come out of it. Let's all just ignore problems because that's the best way to make them go away. He couldn't make more money from it because the kickstarter ended and he got all the money it raised. He also now has a lot of articles on various websites to essentially advertise him to the PUA community that doesn't already live on reddit. Maybe one day this guy might care about this incident but don't hold your breath on it being some horrible loss for him. Having it 'ruin' his life would be more likely to make him popular in that community as some lovely martyr, a victim of the fempire.

Fatkraken posted:Project aside, the flat wage of $15 an hour for all the art assets seems on the low side, or are artists expected to earn barely above minimum wage? As does assigning ten hours to do ALL the sound design, music and recording. I guess at least they've got a detailed breakdown, though "coding, $30,000" seems a bit loving broad. Just to go back to this, $15 isn't "barely above minimum wage" in most countries. It sure as hell isn't even close to minimum wage in the US.  e: Even real polygraphs are largely bullshit so expecting an app to be anything but a gimmick when the real machines can be manipulated (and the operators know how to lead the person they question) is like using your phone's camera for a DNA testing app.

With the OUYA extra money thing, isn't it also something like they only get 20% or so when the kickstarter ends, and the rest either once the game launches or after its exclusivity period ends? If so Gridiron Thunder isn't going to see any more than 20% because OUYA is going to be bankrupt before the game's exclusive period is over.
