My jaw dropped during the video for this. What in the gently caress was that??? I have no idea what the product was, the animation thing that took up 80% of the video made no sense (and was unbelievably poorly done), and to top it all off, "It's not just gamging." Holy poo poo.

DStecks posted:That second kickstarter you linked is a horrible idea. In the event the link ever goes dead, the kickstarter is for dice made of wood. Wood is not an internally homogeneous substance, so those dice will roll idiosyncratically. Not to mention they look like poo poo, judging by the pictures he posted.

If you're going to scam us, the least you could do is not point out that your prototype is made of tic-tac boxes. They say they have a prototype that's been charging a phone for three months, but the only picture we get is a lovely-looking mess of electro-bits connected to an LED? This has to be a joke.

ErIog posted:The crazy thing is how that's something in a FAQ. As a marketing thing, the difference between their product and normal heat shrink wrapping should be loving front and center. There should A/B comparison shots saying, "Yo, our product is different from this bullshit over here. Here's how." That's not something you just footnote if you are going up against an established product. Nobody who wants to know how it's different(if it even is) is going to bother to read their FAQ. I'd wager a guess that their market is "people who don't know what heat shrink is."

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.

ErIog posted:Listen, CJacobs is the god-king emperor decider person about how other people should spend their money, and this is bad! You can't like, question it, man. There's a project, and CJacobs doesn't like that project so therefore it's a bad Kickstarter. Same goes for all the other products CJacobs doesn't buy. If they were good things then CJacobs would purchase them, but CJacobs does not purchase them so therefore they are not good. CJacobs never wastes money on frivolities themselves. Jesus Christ, this is the biggest overreaction to a post I've seen in a long time.
