I had an epiphany a little bit ago about what you were trying to say, FFS. You were saying that some people use infamy to get notice so that people will listen to what they have to say, and we shouldn't listen to it when people do this. Otherwise other people will be encouraged to become infamous so they can soapbox about what they want to too.

Man that's so much more reasonable than what I initially thought you were saying.

....was someone's opinion just changed in a positive way on the internet? Sumbitch.....

Yes. Thank you for thinking about it. I come across too strong and often it is difficult to get a point across when doing so.

Unfortunately you are right about investors. Didn't really think about that. Kickstarter is just as susceptible to Bernie Madoff as anything else. It's such a great system, though, and it would be amazing if there were a way to make it slightly more reliable without relying on the wisdom of the moneyed crowds. Hmm...

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?

Wow, that's pretty insane and I am very looking forward to seeing the conclusion of this from the sidelines.

Seems like a genuine mental breakdown, hopefully he'll get help soon.

I've read through her entire post (I'm not sure I'd recommend it) and I'm not sure if it's solely just pressure and other factors getting to her that prompted the post, given how confident she seems that burning the books people bought is a good idea.

In an attempt to summarize what I read: Money is stupid, she shouldn't have to work to survive, and she's going to find a group of people who are willing to pay for everything she needs to survive so she can potter around doing whatever she wants.

Edit: Had no idea of the pronoun change. Sorry.

What is it?

Yeah. Can't really blame him for it either. By the looks of it, he miscalculated costs at the start and ended up losing much more than he gained. Thus defeating the point of all the stress and effort put into the entire thing, leaving him basically broke and with a bad reputation regardless. So if you started out on the edge, that would certainly tip you right over it.

And once she finds such a group of people, she intends to "transfer the relationships" to someone else.  Someone else will get the free lunches instead.  That's one reason I'm pretty sure she's suicidal, or at least making a cry for help.

I love how 90% of that giant post has nothing to do with what went wrong and what he's doing.

So how did the whole magic quantum foam infinite energy device turn out?

And no, that really is their URL.

I choose to believe that the QEG thing and the weird conspiracy website are part of an ARG for an upcoming RPG-FPS from either Bioware or a Zenimax subsidiary

One that isn't Bethesda, of course, since Bethesda doesn't know how to subtlety.

Maybe it is. Maybe the Dwemer wiped themselves out trying to make the QEG, and The Elder Scrolls VI: Skydaggerblivimorrowrena centers around your quest to complete their work.

We know exactly how and why they disappeared, silly! It was answered outright in Morrowind!
