Poking into the local technology kickstarters gives much less stupid and crazy than I expected.

The Solution For Pollution
Not only is it the cure for air pollution but it is ALSO the cure for global warming, all for only $8,000!

quote:

I began this project 15 years ago when I became aware of the pollution problem the world is facing. I created this solution unfortunately it fell on deaf ears and the project has been shelved ever since. We want to use this opportunity to recreate a real updated model city as well as 3D model rendition using the latest computer software. We will present the finished idea to as many corporations and governments of the world as possible.

The person behind it is a serial scammer and they have basically been run off the internet. They also turned out to be a huge loving racist.

Oh hey, Riley. Riley is also an abusive ratfucker in general too.

My god, Kickstarter is rapidly becoming Etsy.

Brb, starting my Steampunk Antique Octopus Pendant kickstarter.

You joke, but I've been considering doing a project on KS or IGG that involves turning a couple dozen of these at a massive markup.

On that note, DoubleFine just announced another delay for Broken Age Part 2 and laid off some of their staff. Between that, them burning their bridges with publishers, and ruining their goodwill with gamers by unceremoniously dumping their space station game because gently caress You Got Mine I really have no idea how they plan on getting their next game funded.

Gamer ADD and nostalgia, probably. That's what a lot of projects seem to be funded on lately

It's been going for a bit over a year now and has stayed in that funding area +/- $10 for the entire time.
