At least they salted the passwords and used bcrypt. Progress!
Yeah, this. Combined with a unique strong password I'm not too worried. Shit happens, but at least they had some of their act together. Way late on the notice, I had already been informed through other channels (sorry for not posting here!) so had it changed long before they notified people.

bcrypt only applies if you created an account or changed your password after they implemented that system.

What in the fuck? Was it a Kickstarter to get him back on the meds he so obviously fucking needs?

Just a person with mental issues who has obviously gotten a lot worse and now seems to have some sort of death wish/cry for help.

I still like a lot of his old comics but I guess life has beaten him.

Guy has pretty severe issues that need addressed. He probably isn't going to get the help he needs, so I imagine the story isn't over.

Wowwww. Pictures for Sad Children and a lot of Campbell's old one-offs were pretty brilliant and had that bleakly comforting "Oh hey, somebody else knows what depression feels like" quality to them. I'm actually not sure why I wasn't a kickstarter backer. I really hope somebody gets him some meds and therapy before he goes fully suicidal. :/

Yeah I wouldn't say douche, I would say clearly mentally ill. He might be a douche, but there's no way to know until he gets some help.

Small Box Games, which made the very fun game Omen: A Reign of War, has a Kickstarter up for their newest set of card games titled The Nile Ran Red.

Not to be a dick but that kickstarter is more devoid of content than most. They should really put forth a little more effort to sell their idea, they don't actually seem excited.

Edit: Also, again, the 150k goal won't really fund this type of thing. Goal-setting is easily the most common mistake in Kickstarter Video Game Projects.

Yeah, 150k seems pretty silly.  I've backed a couple of games now, but all of them are basically trying to make a game that could have been made 20 years ago (and thus, should be way cheaper to produce in this decade), asked for around a million, and have some big names behind them I know at least hypothetically have the ability to make a good game (and can also bring some of their own cash to the table).  

Well, and also Hex.   why so serious?

Actually, the only one I'm really worried about is the latest one I backed, Unsung Story (basically, Final Fantasy Tactics 2).  Couldn't resist due to how much love I had for FFT, and figured it would get a lot of backing.  However, it only just barely made its funding limit of $600K.  Which certainly isn't near enough for a project like this, but oh well, guess I'll see.

I don't know what Frog Factions is, but Duelyst - the game in the last Kickstarter Update - looks great.

Pretty excited about that one. Just hoping that the number of dice being shown in the tabletop prototype version of it aren't indicative of it being highly luck based. Their positioning makes it seem like they're being used as counters though (life/mana probably), so here's hoping...

I have both.  I bought some DF from the KS, then HA over Ebay.  I'm going to get some Caverns (probably the minimum painted versions for benefits - ~$200).  My problem with the HA is that it is heavier, and I had to paint it - and it isn't a great match for the DF.  If you have the money, I'd go DF, but if you do not, HA works... but is far more work.

I was literally talking about building one almost EXACTLY like this.  Glad I won't have too.  Chronic lower back pain + my torn hip last summer is just wrecking me as my back can't recover since my hip can't recover since my back can't recover.

I'll give it a week and if I still like it I'll pledge for the Bamboo top.

Thanks for the find.

A friend of a friend wrote a book and was planning on a kickstarter to get it published, but passed away before he could do so. No idea if the book's gonna be any good, but for the cost of the average steam sale game I don't mind helping fulfill someone's dying wish.
