This documentary just seems awful on all levels.

This may sound off-topic, but could anyone direct me to stories of successful kickstarter projects?

edit: and by successful I dont mean they achieved their targeted money. I mean that they completed their project with smiling, happy customers.

Er, a majority of them?

Katawa Shoujo had a kickstarter to create artbooks for a Con. Fans went crazy and immediately bought every slot. We all got our books and loved them. My favorite kickstarter to date.

Giana Sisters started on kickstarter and has since flourished with a solid fanbase.

I don't know if Kickstarter kicked your dog or what, but it's time to stop being an ignorant douchebag about it. Kickstarter is an AMAZING idea that is allowing a LOT of peoples dreams to not only be shared, but to be realized. There are tons of successful kickstarters all over the place.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, AI is taking our jobs!
