Kale Good morning folks
I have someone in my reddit inbox trying to tell me that 'tiered rewards' on kickstarters were the same problem vector as stretch goals.
*leans in to camera*
They're talking utter shit.
I mean, they're also trying to say that 'a couple of years' was 'a period so brief it's not worth worrying about'
**hard stare**
Anyway, turns out the earliest links I have to kickstarter in my gmail are from like... 2011, so holy shit, has it been a fuckin' WHILE
Anyway, time for my 'every few years' check on what the fuck happened with various projects I backed.
On one hand, turns out a bunch of em finally finished.
On the other hand, the dropbox links are dead.
Oops.
I do *miss* having stuff like kickstarter campaigns to look forward to, I'll admit.
Throwback to early 2010s when loot boxes, kickstarters, etc would give you a bunch of entertainment from either getting shit, or the drama from not getting shit
> It’s wild how many companies try to hide behind ‘pre-order’ language when in reality they’re just using new orders to fund current production
Why, yes, that's exactly how pre-orders work.
Like... what did you think you were paying money to them for?
Of course they're using your money to make your thing, if you give it to them in advance.
I am now aware that there are lootcrate-esque packs that are romance book oriented which:
* Are $550 USD each
And
* Include a dildo 'modelled' on the male main character
Every three months.
Gus@Gussers four per year, so each three months, you need a new model (because each box is themed around a different character, and logically, each guy has a - slightly? - different dick, right?)

All perfectly logical. A positive bargain, looked at in the right light.
