random_dave Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 And after that I quickly look at Facebook, only to be met with someone sharing a crowdfunding campaign called "Remember when..."

Eltigro Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 And after that I quickly look at Facebook, only to be met with someone sharing a crowdfunding campaign called "Remember when..." Fortunately it's MK free, it's just a local cafe for dementia sufferers http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/remember-when-dementia-cafe My grandmother had Alzheimer's. My ex-wife's dad is suffering from some kind of dementia (doctors said it wasn't Alzheimer's, it's some other kind). I've never heard of a "traditional dementia cafe". Is this something they have in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_convoy Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 It's not a book, it's laboratory-grade bulk paper Words go in; a story about a miserable scam artist comes out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoofu Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If there is going to be a book about it then I recommend designing the cover first. That is half the battle right there. I recommend putting a SNES inside the book. so we can play Coleco Chameleon classics 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 JFK wrote a book entitled Profiles in Courage. Since there's another Kennedy involved here, might I suggest ... Profiles in Cartridge? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I want my copy etched onto slate cos that's a much more durable storage format than paper Sent from my YD201 using Tapatalk I expect nothing less than use a printing press to stamp Clay tablets, afterwords baked in a kiln to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Then seal them in a cave for archeologists to discover 3500 years from now. And the book should be written in Latin, not English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The book will never need any revisions. Because it will be written without bugs the first time.Just like Atari Inc: Business is Fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Instead of a book, this should be a magazine with monthly installments. Then, it could be paid for through kickstarter indegogo patreon, and ship a year late. Maybe even get pulled from B&N 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think so, too. He was at 77 patrons and $416 three days ago; he's now at 82 patrons and $448. At this rate, he should be reaching his $9500 goal in about 2.25 years. That's also about how long it usually takes him to put out a single issue, so if he starts working on it right now, he can have it ready "right on time." Update, because I'm no different than that obsessive in the Nintendo Mini whom I mock for calling all the big box stores every day Dec 22 2016 77 patrons, $416 total Dec 25 2016 82 patrons, $448 total Jan 9 2017 147 patrons, $770 total (today) There are 15 days between your Xmas post and now and a difference of $322, which means the fund grew at an average of $21.46 per day. At this new accelerated rate, he would only need 443 days of the same level of donations to hit $9500. That's plenty of time for a ONE-TWO PUNCH! of a magazine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I suppose it will remain dormant until it reaches the funding level they want. I guess it's both an excuse to get out but also a way to gauge (lack of) interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I want to keep this laser-focused on Mike, and leave out bystanders. However, anyone in the hobby who would work with Mike after last year is, as nicely as I can say this, a complete fucking idiot. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's do a "Let's read" of Retro magazine, with crazy voiceover commentary! This exists. I caught my son watching a video of someone reading a book he had to read at school exactly like this. The ultimate in laziness... He actually was watching the video of the person reading it and flipping pages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 3:30 - you haven't started the video yet. 4:00 - I can't see what's in the magazine unless you zoom in. 6:30 - SNEZZ 8:20 - If RETRO isn't strictly retro, why call it RETRO? 10:40 - I made it this far because I wanted to hear what you'd say about the Scameleon advert. You didn't really say anything. Postscript: Since you wrote one of the articles in that magazine, I suspect you are a biased source. As such, I will disregard your opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) 8:20 - If RETRO isn't strictly retro, why call it RETRO Retro isn't strictly anything, other than a collection of content that Mike thinks he can monetize. I guarantee you, if Mike had an interest in mahogany boats from the 1930s, he'd be trolling the internet for snippets he could throw into a magazine and resell it, cornering the mahogany boat enthusiast market.
