Jesus, why can't my local JET people just fuckin' email us with whether we've been accepted or not
Basically, Arvix has a paper up on the quantities of potentially life-bearing rock ejected into space by the asteroid which killed the dinosaurs. Bacteria to be sure, but earth bacteria - of the type we brought back from the moon because someone coughed on a lander, and which was found to come back to life once you have them heat, water and food.
A bunch of it should have rained down on moons in the Jupiter system. But the thing which makes me dizzy is the notion that some of it would have made it into interstellar space. Which is 1, holy shit amazing, and 2, because by now it could have made it to Gliese 581 - a super-Earth in the habitable zone, 20 light years away. And, that assuming a few things about transfer rates, that if life appeared anywhere in the galaxy about 10^10 years ago, then it would have spread through the entire galaxy - including being able to reach Earth by 4.6 billion years ago.

Just as awesome as the projects getting funded on Kickstarter are the projects that are failing to get funded. Projects like reviving the Leisure Suit Larry game series.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.

It seems to me like music being dominant is more of a Japanese thing, but i might be wrong. Seems like the last few western games had more atmospheric soundtracks whereas the last few eastern games had a soundtrack that stood out more.
Pretty much yes.
The only game I've played recently where the music was really good was... oh, what a surprise, Skyrim main theme by... yup, Jeremy Soule! I was really disappointed RAGE didn't have an awesome soundtrack to go with it; I was hoping they'd go the Painkiller route of awesome metal to play to, but then I guess they'd have to worry about stupid market demographics. :<
...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

what stops a person from promising to do something on kickstarter
and then not doing it and taking all the money
I think the way it works is that money only changes hands after the product is released?
So like, maybe the start up company can borrow against the money they have raised in the kickstarter but, until they release the product, they don't actually get the money from kickstarter.

Fraud charges?
there's no legal obligation to deliver, though. afaik
like, i get kickstarter funds, blow through all my cash on "development" or whatever. It's all in the name of bringing my project together, but it goes towards my "office" and ramen noodles and whatnot
as long as i can prove that that cash went towards my project in some fashion, i skirt fraud charges

imgur has been shitting the bed for the past 2 or 3 weeks. It will come back and go away and come back and go away, but even though it would take barely anymore effort to fix than typing out this reply, I can't be arsed to do it.

Does that make sense?
Nope, once they exceed their goal and the time ends, everybody pays up.
It's inevitable that there will be a major shitstorm at some point when a major project doesn't deliver (it's happened for a least one small project that I'm familiar with).

all these other countries do that
just tell me already
Secondly, sometimes I read things and feel a little dizzy by how incredible they are.

Arvix link.
Tell me that doesn't fill you with cosmic awe.

I really like Kow Otani's style. I was surprised to hear his stuff in this game, really. but it's amazing! So varied, too.

I can only achieve an erection if I find Kickstarters that have ended with less than $50 pledged.

What's stupid about OLED screens?
i'm not, like, for or against them, just curious.

People on the Internet are stupid.

Norwegian names are silly, is what I am saying here
Fraud charges?
About what? i am puzzled here. i linked a song from a video game i'm playing these days, composed by Kow Otani.

I don't know what this is because I cannot play it at work but based on the preview frame...
21st, do you have something to tell us?
They're great, but e-ink is better for this (mainly for the battery life, the readability is less important on a watch)

Nothing at all.

That part of the game had an excellently structured gag.
Also OLEDs tend to get washed out in direct sunlight, which would be problematic in this application.
I think I'm going to pass on this one, but v2 should be pretty sweet.

I am assuming that they will not reach their goal, given their current funding level, remaining time, and my desire to retain some faith in humanity.

Also, did you go back when Wheatley asks you to come back? God my sides hurt so much from laughing when I did.
