it's pretty novel to start with the predators and work backwards

If they limited their targets to only backers of their own kickstarter I'd support them.

Not financially, of course. They'd have my moral support.

For some insane reason, I ran the numbers on my head, got 32, and decided that since that was bigger than 30 it was a good thing. I was enforcing a rule to make people creepy I guess. Good job, creepy me brain

The claim is that she's 30, he's 20 years her senior.

So he's 50.

Half of 50 is 25. Plus 7 is 32. Meaning she fails the half plus seven rule.


How did you manage to make her fit the half age plus seven?


edit: didn't see the new page.

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

The sad thing is, I don't even think this is the first kickstarter based on that concept. There was another one that was some sort of magic underwear for strip clubs.

I think that one had the opposite effect, wherein the underwear had a slick, "lube-like" texture that helped you cum from a lapdance.

I can't believe I just typed that.

The Boner-Be-Gone Belt doesn't seem like it would prevent an erection so much as force your boner upwards.

What you really need is one of those old-timey chastity devices that were essentially an iron maiden for your dick.

Yup. Which is just the 'ole "strangle it with your belt" trick.

Except for this to work you'd have to wear this loving dickbelt around all day, just in case you get an erection where you can't handle it.

It HAS to be a joke.

I think you can just set a monthly thing on patreon, regardless of what you do or don't do.

Kickstarter is a lot more popular, I think. Mo people mo cash.

There are two ways of funding:
People either give you money monthly, or they give you money for content. You can say "I want to pay 5 bucks per piece of content, but only 20 bucks per month at max".

There is no "goal".

Some do make goals though? Stuff like no ads, releasing more content if x amount of money is made so they can quit jobs

Be like Aaron Diaz (creator of the webcomic Dresden Codak, whom is supposed to be updating bi-weekly now based off of funding levels) and get paid 5k a month to do nothing complain on Twitter about having to work to a schedule. :v:

That's a pretty good goal.

A lot of the more dishonest webcomic-ers use Paetron to get money-for-nothing (chicks for free? :haw:), the theory being a person chips in but never bothers to check their CC statement and never removes their monthly donation.

lol, DC has produced 13 pages in the last YEAR. Does bi-weekly mean 26 pages a year or 104 (twice-a-week or fortnightly)? Either way he's kinda off schedule.

Pretty sure it's an option, just one that some people decide not to offer for....some reason

... it totally does... unless you meant that you want the choice of payment to be on the patron end, instead of the creator end. Which is an interesting idea, but some creators indisputably need an option for monthly payment if their production cycles don't allow for monthly content, and it would be hard for them to make a go of it if always choosing pay-per-content became the norm. Which wouldn't necessarily happen, I mean, people continue to back flex-funding indiegogos, if you want better proof of internet "patrons" being not exactly penny-pinching, you can't find it.

They're probably more profitable than the vast majority of internet tech companies out there right now.
