Oh yes a burn from the makers of Sonic '06.

@NedFodder Yeah, there's an infinite amount of justified hatred toward it. I get it, completely.
My cash went to the product I thought I was getting, and I got it. So I don't care too much about all the controversy.

Right but here's the thing: I smartly did not donate to these idiots before they had any workable product, and yet I still have access to the product if I want it. So it's a win-win for me.

@blakeyrat The product may not have existed (probably wouldn't have) if people hadn't been willing to pay ahead of time.
But yeah, I'm glad it worked out positively for you.

I would argue that if you can't convince a few investors to part with their money, the product probably doesn't deserve to exist. Especially if you're a well-respected game designer with a few hits under your belt.

Not terribly different from what happened. The interest even got them a publisher, which let them get a lot more stuff and more supported platforms. And an ad that directly insulted the majority of their fanbase, which was hilarious.

"Look, even Capcom wouldn't let you make another Mega Man, and that's a large part of how they succeeded in the first place. Lets face it, no one even cares anymore." is how I imagine conversations with investors would go. Except we're talking about Japan, so it wouldn't be that nice.
I seriously don't get Capcom these days. Yeah, sure, it works to only make street fighter, but they managed to bungle the latest one's release pretty shockingly. DmC alienated a bunch of fans, but was a decent game - but not because Capcom played any part in it. They at least let someone make a Strider game. But Mega Man? Darkstalkers? They seem to hate some of their most unique IP.

Despite the fact that I have uploaded 900+ videos already, YouTube has suddenly decided that I will forget to schedule my videos and has started sending me an email for each video I upload to remind me to schedule it...
-
@LB_ I still get that "Congratulations! Your video is on YouTube! This is about the most condescending email you'll ever see in your goddamned life! No, there's no way to turn it off! Fuck you, we're a monopoly!" email for every video.

Today in Lazy Software:
How is my local pharmacy's veterinary service designed? Well, it's quite simple: they enter your pet as your child, then it's business-as-usual.
So if my name were Blake Yrat, and my cat's name were Fluffy, in their database I now have a child named Fluffy Yrat.
Even better, since it doesn't distinguish between human children and pets, I have to sign the HIPAA notice for Fluffy.
That is world record lazy.
BTW after experiencing the pharma tech explaining to me like I were 4 years old that to divide a pill in fourths, I should cut it in half one way, then rotate it 90 degrees, then cut it in half again... I now understand why old people are grumpy all the time.

Really?
Then again, some people are actually that dumb...
-

What if your cat's name is Blake Ycat? Do you need your cat to sign power of attorney over to you?
-
@ben_lubar A lot of people have kids with the same name as themselves. I assume that works.
In other news, I put a glop of her favorite cat food on my fingertip and squished a quarter-pill into it, and blakeycat ate it right up no problems.

That one does make a little more sense in the context of your comment.

this is good and bad. For example, according to the government, I had a mortgage on my house at age ten.

Best method! Apparently the 💊 didn't have a distinguishable taste.

Just found 2 bad ethernet cables and three broken wall-socket-port-things (whatever the term is, "LAN in the walls, man!" thing) just by trying to connect a computer to the network...

I stopped buying cheap ones for work because of all the problems. The patch leads I buy now are 5 quid each in bulk! They do come with a loss graph and test record though. There is nothing worse than trying to find why a network segment is sick rather than completely broken, especially if it's an intermittent issue.
I hope one day work will agree to buy me one of these bad boys: http://www.flukenetworks.com/datacom-cabling/Versiv/DSX-5000-Cableanalyzer

What's with British people sharing their voting? "I voted remain!!!!! !BLAKDHAK E@ Q@EGQ!"
Based on the "morons who post their votes to Twitter account Blakeyrat follows because he's an idiot", remain'll win by quiet a margin. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

We can hope. The polls were calling a dead heat, but nobody's got much in the way of calibration data for them so who knows really? (Current prediction is for an official result about 0600 GMT Friday, but if it's really tight it could be a lot longer.)
