Really curious to know what kind of half-arsed games developer Aweful Dreams works for, surely nobody with any competence could seriously be interested. I'm guessing that when he says "my company" he's referring to the partnership between himself and the deep sense of regret he has for spending money on BOOYAH.

I wonder - when will the majority of people realize what a trainwreck it is? Will there be a 'crash', will it be a gradual transition, or will it just fade into obscurity rather than infamy?

Nothing else this antagonizing going on right now, making journalists and mags happy to write about it.

At this point, even fast GPUs can't even keep up, people have loving FPGAs and ASICs for mining now.  As for Prime95, It is open source, but you could just as easily just write your own prime number function in java to chew through the CPU & RAM.

That's so incredible niche it won't keep the box in retail stores longer than a month. I could see this thing being sold online for a while, but I don't see an Ouya 2 coming out. I don't see an Ouya coming out either, since unless I missed something, there have still been only like 10 confirmed cases of it being shipped.

Less than 2% of consoles have shipped. 63 days from launch, the console is supposed to be in stores. They are literally shipping them out at less than 1/10th the speed the need to make this date. (Not saying they won't do a big shipment somewhere in the middle - right now, I'm wondering if they literally ran out of money)

theflyingorc posted:(Not saying they won't do a big shipment somewhere in the middle - right now, I'm wondering if they literally ran out of money) I like the idea somebody had a few pages ago that all of the units they built for backers will end up being sold in stores, and when (if) those sell they'll make and send out the backer units. Also there's real time chat on this site and these people are hilariously delusional. They actually think regular consumers will buy this thing.

Ryen Deckard posted:That's so incredible niche it won't keep the box in retail stores longer than a month. Oh yes agreed. My statement was in response to someone saying how this will quickly fail and fade into obscurity. I agreed with the caveat that a couple will be kept around for those single purposes. Ouya the service and company will roll up before October but the boxes will stick around (if they make more than 100) kind of like HP touchpads for a while.

XboxPants posted:I don't know if it's a good fit, the drift on the analog stick might counteract the bad alignment on the bus. The fact that XboxPants answers things like "Port Desert Bus to OUYA" with a serious response is just the best. It takes a special type of sperglord to toe the company line in the face of all this abuse, but my god, he's the man for the job. You company man, you. In lieu of a gold watch, you can expect a Julie Uhrman body pillow at your retirement party.

Throughout this thread, he has toed the line in the face of every possible instance of sound reason/abusive snark. Any other poster, I'd agree with you that I'm the one being thick, but I question XBP's ability to be tongue-in-cheek. Stick100 posted:Why would you say such a horrible thing, do you swing kittens around in a bag of porcupines as a warm up to your posting! The horrible thing about it is that I'm probably giving certain trousered forum posters ideas for a Kickstarter. Here are a few more: Stretch Goal @ 250k: the Julie Uhrman body pillow will become a Julie Uhrman love pillow as a crotch pocket is implemented. Stretch Goal 2 @ 300k: That crotch pocket region will be meticulously crafted to look like Uhrman's face. (Same printing as top of pillow)

Listen, Notch, I know the internet gave you tons of money and you feel  about this and want to give some to other indie devs like you, but you have a responsibility to the people, man! You're giving this thing an air of legitimacy it really doesn't deserve, gently caress. I'm sure he's regretting his name being on the top of that thing now.  quote:it looks like a minecraft block too!

So, in the spirit of this thread, I just used whatever my phone thought I was trying to say, and capitalized it in magical "OUYA" fashion. Later, we found out that Leon Budd was a war hero who presumably died carrying the Ouya banner in the Great Console War.
