I spent every dollar I had and what do I have to show for it?  A piece of bent aluminum.  Please help me.

That bottle openers not new. My grandma has one screwed to the underside of a cabinet.
No, see, they made their bottle opener with SCIENCE and RESEARCH. Totally different from your grandma's.

And you don't even get a bottle opener.

It doesn't look like a terrible product, it's just not really novel in any way.  Also the video is hilarious.

I, unfortunately, had to report it for selling products the project creator wasn't making.

Why do you hate innovation

For one of his purchase tiers he offers an ebook called...  Balls Deep in Sleep

Another artistic vision goes up in flames, don't miss the 8 minute trailer

Watching farther into the trailer was definitely worth it.  The dialogue in the scene where the fat guy doesn't realize his hooker is dead is hilarious.

It looks like it could be hilariously bad. I'm surprised it hasn't met its measly $100 goal.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

You missed some of the best thread drama. It used to be a pretty much constant stream of hilarious stupidity, now it's pretty sluggish.

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Good lord.  With Al Lowe out and Paul Trowe apparently insane, that only leaves Joe Blowe to keep things going.

Kickstarter reminds me of that story in Walden about the Indian who doesn't understand why people don't give him money for his baskets.  These people seem to at least vaguely grasp that people pay money for things, but haven't seemed to figure out that they have to be things worth buying.

Or in this case things worth sort of buying?  Investing in?  Get rid of the venture capitalism aspect and call it Panhandlr

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I think the Pictures For Sad Children meltdown counts: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/73258510/sad-pictures-for-children/posts/759318

Is there really no discussion thread for that debacle?
