PlaysWithWolves Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The previous acrostic I did by hand, but today I found myself playing around with an online acrostic generator. Input your hidden word or phrase, then answer some questions Mad Lib style. It will output something that could be a decent skeleton upon which one might expand. Unfortunately, it only does the first letter of each sentence instead of something more complex. I adjusted the phrases by going back to the previous page until I was content with the output: Potential users expense. Interested spectators profit. Great treasures appreciate. Enormous contributions contribute. Other peoples purse. Necessary moneys subsidize. Strong financials stash. Kind of a poetry word salad, but it was a starting point for my modification that took just minutes of free-writing: "Potential for this console is astounding. Interested spectators might even profit later from eBay. Great things are happening behind the scenes. Enormous amounts were contributed and Atari knows this. Other people, AKA "haters", just don't understand. Necessarily, game-changing projects like this become delayed. Sometimes we just need to be patient." Nothing brilliant, but was a fun distraction. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think I've figured it out. Next Tuesday, inspired by the faked images of Google's new controller, Atari is planning to announce that their own fake controller will be compatible with Google's streaming service, so they can bilk even more suckers into giving them money! If AtariSA has expertise anywhere, it's in faked images of non-existent products! This is the fake Google render: The question is - which fake controller is Atari going to announce? Is it the one Michael Arntz is holding? Or this one? Maybe this one? One of these? I think they should just go with the classic. The original, fake controller from the Centipede "test" video! I've even helped them with a catch phrase and fake render for it! Job done! Bring on next Tuesday! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 By the way, how many resellers are already taking pre orders for the Atari VCS? It just came to my attention that Webhallen over here has had the machine for pre order since June 2017, with expected delivery July 2019. They first listed it at expected price 9999 SEK (roughly equals $1000) and have now reduced the expected price to 4999 SEK ($500). It might seem like a lot but if you take the Indiegogo price $239, add 25% VAT and import fees you easily exceed $300, perhaps closer to $350. The site lets you post a hype vote on a scale 1-5. So far 13 people hyped it as 5, one as 1 which would average at 4.7 out of 5. https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/270497-Atari-VCS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodmot Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I got another email from Indiegogo saying the campaign is under review to make sure they're following the TOS. It's basically a carbon-copy of the first email they sent me, but I didn't send any new reports into them. Not sure what that means. o: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACODON Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I got another email from Indiegogo saying the campaign is under review to make sure they're following the TOS.

All I ever get back is a notice that they received my email. Never a response. I am just glad more people are complaining on the IGG page. I have made it my goal to complain as much as possible in as many ways as possible on this circus and I am glad people are taking notice and complaining also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
