If it works, it works and I don't see a problem with it. It's not an unethical approach to business just because it's an nontraditional one. As it's been said by a lot of people in this thread already, there's usually plenty of transparency behind Kickstarters and the people who back them are familiar with the risks (i.e., the lack of guaranteed delivery of a product) associated with the platform. If the crowdfunding model did not offer any value whatsoever to both consumers and developers alike, it would stagnate and eventually die off. Some people are saying SP has an over reliance on crowdfunding and I can't directly refute that one way or another, but they aren't doing anything wrong from a consumer's standpoint by utilizing it. It's probably not a sustainable long-term business model, but it's working right now. I get not embracing kickstarter as a consumer. The value might just not be there for some people and the risk just not worth it. It also feels pretty cheeky to see a company continually not shoulder any monetary risks in developing a product. If you feel that way, obviously don't use it.

I actually believe the scene where the Indomitus Rex crushes the sphere the two kids were in was done with animatronics, though I could be wrong. They was at least a noticeable difference in that scene.

Welcome to the community, it's great to have you. I hope to see you around the forums.

It's nice to meet you as well, welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums. I hope to see you around.

Still pacing myself with Yamato 2199. I wrote a bunch of stuff fanboying over the show, but I'll save that until I actually finish the series. I will say the OST is thoroughly kicking my ass however.

Good job. Now you never have to hit legend again cause the reward system in this game is lackluster.

1) No, you're not a moron. Piracy is for plebs. 2) You can say "whore."

Right click the image -> click open image in new tab -> copy the imgur url. Do what Roach said to edit your signature, click the picture frame icon in the text editor (pictured below), and then paste and hit okay. Then click save changes.

Well, I finally completed the common route in Hoshimemo. I thought the quality of it was fair. Nothing felt exceptional, but there was some funny moments and I enjoyed reading it in uneven chunks. My most prominent feeling on it is that it felt like it went on a little too long, and generally, I don't say that as I'm a fan of long common routes. I ended up liking the whole cast of heroines, though I don't have a strong inclination toward any of them from just from the common route. Just going by the characters themselves, I liked Chinami and Aoi the most (I'm sure that's an unpopular opinion), but it's all close. I'm most interested in reading Komomo and Kosame's route though thanks to how the common route ended up concluding. I'm doing Asuho's route first as that's the one most people seemed to recommend starting with.

I've thought about it for a while, but can I have my 'happy birthday' wish back? Thanks.

Well, fuck. That's frustrating to watch.

Welp, I've finally gone over to the darkside and actually purchased a physical weeb good for once. Just purchased this. I'm not the most dexterous person, so putting together a model kit sure will be an experience for me.

Decay wins. Pack it up.

Have a Bridget.

You're welcome.

Congrats on the year here, bro. One day, I will make a single, giant meta post to highlight all the "milestones" I ignored while spending my time on Fuwa. It'll include such memorable moments as my first post, my 69th post, my 1000th post, and of course, the day Ren made me into a grown-up woman.

I was going to be snarky and post a 3D picture since you asked for "real" bishoujos, but then I thought it would be best not to search for Japanese teen photographs on google. Teeku

I used to not to, kept most of them in my head - but that's when I only have like 3 or 4 different passwords for most of the sites I frequented. For some unnecessary reason, I started using random strings and characters for my passwords so I had to start storing them somewhere, and after the puush vulnerability, I started to physically write them down.

You installed a safe in your wall? Is that where you keep your loli stash hidden from your parents?

There is something beautiful about people arguing about this.

More Asagi Ryu.....yussssssssss. This got completed as well.

I might just be more excited to see how everyone reacts to it than me actually reading it. But yes, I'm looking forward to reading it.

There's the really weird stuff I'm into and then there's the really weird stuff you're into, NB and I wonder if they will ever crossover. This one is decently funny, the ol' ' your kid took a dump in the onsen' blackmail situation.

Thank god, I thought it would never end.
