I don’t think we can rule out Webber as being part of the problem.

wellllll....

Nah. He’s just learned to keep his fucking mouth shut, which is an improvement but is hardly redemption.

This would be goddamned evil.... and genius.

I call b.s.

I think the point is these won’t be crappy dollar store handheld games. Teenage Engineering is a high-end manufacturer and all the game designers are well-known, this thing is what you’d call boutique. Not necessarily niche though, depending on how many people like the concept.

Teenage Engineering are beasts. This thing is at least guaranteed to have Nintendo-level hardware quality.

I am buying this full price, day one (no preorder though, as a matter of principle mostly). I love the idea of this thing, and while whether it succeds or not remains to be seen, I very much want to encourage this line of thinking. Heck, I’ll but two, gift one to a friend in case there’s multiplayer.

Certainly is the second-most Teenage Engineering-looking thing I’ve ever seen

Listen I’ve dropped plenty of money on both Panic and Teenage Engineering shit and that’s just part of who I am, ok?

Dogs are technically not allowed in bars in my city. One time, a newspaper ran a listicle of all the best dog-friendly bars in town. The city promptly visited those bars and warned them against allowing dogs, making them dogless.

I think what sawbone is suggesting is that you’re pointing out the best dog-friendly bars.

I’m sure it’s a blow for the 500 promoters too as he is a big name to have.

Unprepared is an understatement. This is an actual photo of Alonso in their original backup car.

They were way slower because they never had a working hybrid system, so they were about 500 horsepower down and lacking AWD on the other teams. I still maintain they could have had a competent car with another year of testing before entering the series (like Porsche did). 

Well, that’s going to suck the life out of this game...

Also you have to remember that this is pre-tax income with no side benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.) that we usually consider as part of income. There’s also self-employment taxes which tend to be higher.

Honestly, when I saw the $6k/mo Patreon I thought “this feels WAY too low”. Some mods make twice that. Hell, YouTubers who release 1-2 videos a month AT BEST make 2-3 times that. Dwarf Fortress is one of the biggest games of its kind, it should easily be making $10-15 k on Patreon. Hopefully the Steam version will…

6k a month certainly isn’t close to enough for any decent health insurance plan, and they’d be almost instantly bankrupted by a real medical emergency.

6k/mo for two people is ~36k/year each. That’s not “living large" anywhere in the US. It's liveable some places and barely scraping by in any major city.

Crap. This is still in my “to read” pile along with that Yugo book.
