Will Gaben manage to turn fat nerds into sport celebrities?
Will golddiggers manage to find a bonanza of basement dwellers virgins to exploit?
Or now that there is money involved jocks will manage to steal money and pussy from nerds once again?

Not gaming related but Kickstarter is starting to act against shady projects. This one was recently suspended https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yuansong84/ifind-the-worlds-first-battery-free-item-locating

Imagine the butthurt of athletes who spend their entire lives practicing and making major sacrifices in order to even have a chance of appearing at some major tournament. Then they find out some nerds earn more money then them by playing games.

So here's a kickstarter for a game about a father accidentally killing his kid.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/109042642/a-song-for-viggo-a-game-made-of-paper-unfolding-de

I'm posting this because recently the creator posted links of this on a forum for fathers mourning their kids and he started bitching about the "abuse" he got from them for shilling there.

[Excidium]

Fucking loser.

 

[Ranselknulf]

What was that guy thinking. Games can't be art or used to tell a story.

He should have just concentrated on making bigger numbers and flashier graphics.

EDIT: just to make that post less unuseful:

It seems a nice metroidvania....

C'mon gotta to better than this is you want people to check it out.

Anyways saw it in the greenlight thread; it looks neat.

Some gameplay gifs:

Spoiler

It looks pretty neat and they have gameplay to show.

Looks sweet. Those cave sprites look straight out of SotN

He actually addressed that in an update. Basically he did copy them but said they'll be replaced in the released version.

This is a bit troubling, I will think about it before adding it.

Yeah no, in the world of professional sports prize money is not the main source of income.

Well, that's not the case with e-sports either. Though I'm sure that the razer/alienware sponsorship pro-gamers usually get is insignificant to the stuff real sportsmen pull.

Stretch goals:

$350 - Make way more potato salad and probably do a third recipe.

 

[Abelian]

$2000 - backers can help with tossing the salad

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I don't think I've seen a guy toss his own salad.

7 and a half grand now.

7 and a half grand now.

He's going to say the name of every backer out loud while making the salad. 1268 backers and counting, he's going to work very slow or speak very fast.

174 backers chose a potato salad appropriate ingredient to add to the salad tier as well. Too many chefs IMO.

O potato, brown of skin
apple of the earth, so firm
I brush the sol from thee, and then
inspect potato for sign of worm

O potato, white of flesh
sustain my family, we are blessed
crisp and clean, rinsed and fresh,
I press potato to my breast
