Yeah but they're teachers/professors, they don't work in the real world so they either don't give a shit about how group projects don't reflect the real world or don't actually know that it's different.

Teachers and professors have to know how much people hate these, right?

The CPU installation is the most nerve racking part, the rest is smooth sailing.

You wanted to see it though.

Will you be doing the same for GITS?

No one in this thread gives a shit whether or not JonTron was "wrong" in his debate. The problem is people who no longer want to support a company that's treating their backers like shit basically telling them "We have your money now go fuck off" in which case, the customers charging back THEIR money have every justification to do so.

God you're so transparently biased.

Sure, Destiny said some stupid shit too... but that's not fucking relevant, is it?

When the people put their money in, it was a kickstarter. It may not be now but it was then.

Shia shut down his HWNDU wall. He instead raises a flag that is supposed to stay up for four years. That gets taken down and replaced with a flag of Pepe, so Shia moves to a new location. THAT flag gets taken and used in a game of Capture the Flag, so Shia decides that the US "isn't safe" and moves to the UK.

Well sorry Shia, but nowhere is safe for your "project" which is nothing more than a laughing stock now. As the flag has been found in its "Secret location" and trolled by the internet again. Shia followed police advice and removed the flag afterwards.

Shia, by the time you find a "safe" enough space for your project, it will be so far removed from relevancy that no one will care anymore. They only care now because it's funny.

Other things to note:

On Kickstarter you can cancel a pledge without give a reason at all, when signed in, just go to the page of the project you backed and there should be a blue pledge button.

Transactions after the funded goal are reached are between the consumer/customer and the creator, in which case, chargebacks are a valid source of refunds if there is dissatisfaction between the two. No punishment will come to a Kickstarter profile that chargebacks on a creator after it is funded, as Kickstarter just acts as a secondary middleman during the backing process. The creator can choose to react to the chargeback (as most companies do with one) but the creator is not entitled to your money if you do not have a product you feel is satisfactory to you (or one at all).

It's more tedious to get your money back but not less secure if either Kickstarter or Devs don't offer a refund, they can just chargeback, which is ultimately what's going to happen if Playtonic doesn't cave in and be sensible.

people are investing in a project pitch, not paying for a finished product; crowdfunding in itself, I dont believe to be wrong, just ignorance on the matter and people thinking they should be treated like customers when they're essentially in a less secure role than one sole investor with a lot of money and better judgement on returns

i dont like how playtonic are dealing with the issue, but as far as this goes, theyre perfectly within reason for denying refunds on grounds that jontron was never part of the game they promised in the first place

Fuck you trackballs are awesome.

People like you deserve death.

I learned the hard way with Total Annihilation and realized I couldn't even play the game because its entire gameplay focus is on a mouse wheel and I use a trackball. Luckily Steam was very flexible with refunds at the time.

Yeah, Kickstarter is very good on paper for small devs, but lacks a real PR team which helps problems like these fester.

Hopefully this will cause people learn to stop funding video game projects and other stupid shit on crowd-funding websites.

Patch 3.56 next Tuesday, and ending the Heavensward Main Scenario.

Yoshi-P also mentioned we'd be getting a walkthrough trailer of the new areas sometime in the near future, the only reason they didn't have it ready at PAX was because some of their assets weren't ready yet.

Over the past few days, Google’s Deepmind machine-learning team secretively put its AlphaGo artificial intelligence system onto two Chinese online board-game platforms to test its skill in fast-paced games against several of the world’s best Go players. As of Jan. 4, when the test was completed, AlphaGo had racked up 60 wins and no losses. The best any of the humans could muster was merely a tie, forced when a player went offline, which required the game be recorded as a tie.

The millenia-old board game of Go had long been thought of being beyond the reach of artificial intelligence programs thanks to its notorious complexity. But AlphaGo’s sweeping wins, coming after its March victory over Korean Go champion Lee Sedol, have proved emphatically that AI could play the game at a level no human has, or likely ever could, attain.

.....

Ke had been confident that AlphaGo could not beat him after the AI’s March victory over Lee. But after his first two losses to “Master” in recent days, he acknowledged that humans are no match for AI in this game. His edge against AlphaGo in the top Go player ranking is left at just dozens of points.

I would like to see how AI develops beyond simple board games. Seeing such swift and precise victories in RTS titles or Shooters would be a sight indeed.

You can't trust the Critic shills, they're the RT of video games.

B.net's current situation is entirely isolated from whatever else is happening with Counter-Culture on the internet. One mod did not cause all this, yes I agree but the problem B.net is currently facing is entirely the fault of Bungie themselves and the cancerous individuals on B.old that pushed for this type of community and ran away when it didn't become what they wanted.

Individuals like Cortana5, SpartenKen, Lonepaul, Wyldfire & Coolmike (these two especially) were so fucking vehement in pushing to allow political/religious discussion on B.old (some individuals who have made their home here were somewhat guilty of this as well); advocating that threads about the supreme court on things like same-sex marriage "weren't political issues, they're social issues" completely fucking playing word games to get their way. When Daz left B.next however, the people that supported this nonsense realized they no longer have an echo-chamber because now individuals can't be punished for wrong-think and ran away.

The issues of these types of problems on that site could have been entirely avoided if the vocal minority bitching babies would've just stuck to private groups for their discussion. B.net's demographics do not mix well with these types of discussions, you're dealing mostly with kids either finishing middle school or just starting high school being asked important heated subjects of our time, that's incredibly fucking ridiculous and stupid on the "enlightened minds" that wanted such nonsense to be allowed.

What you're seeing is an issue entirely contained in itself caused by consistent fuck ups by both Bungie, and vocal minority whiners in the community from B.old. Generation Z and their conservative views are just one of the ingredients in this recipe for disaster that is that site.

If what you say is true, I'm reluctant to believe a single moderator (or his absence) played a significant role in turning a forum as big as B.net into a shithole. It's part of a much bigger societal change which I don't think anyone fully understands. Rebellious counter-culture turned zealous and often downright stupid, perhaps?

I don't want to say you're right, but the whining coupled with the jarring way the promotions and advertisements are being handled I feel like it's gonna flop more because lack of interest over being a good movie.

it's still gonna fucking blow

Scarred? No, I'm relieved the site is cleansed of his pestilent presence. But I am still incredibly fucking salty over it, the mods for the most part were incredibly well adjusted when it came to actually doing their job (much like on here), only bringing down the hammer when absolutely necessary. But as soon as B.next came and we could talk politics, a complete power abuse occurred with that one in particular. There's no justification for it, I didn't break any rules, he simply wanted me off the site and attempted to do it in a quiet manner. Good riddance to that cancerous dictator.

Man that mod really scarred you for life huh
