Horrible Kickstarter Scams (with nickisnotgreen)
Рет қаралды 425,566
Күн бұрынtoday we're looking at the worst kickstarter ideas, some of which are scams, or just flat out impossible business ideas. i forced nickisnotgreen to look at ps5 sunglasses, an invisibility shield, a flaming lightsaber, on kickstarter and indiegogo, and more

Invisibility shields have been circulated around the internet as protest/riot gear, and I think they’re pretty useful for that-in a low-light situation, when you’re trying to hide yourself from cops, it makes sense. But there are also just tutorials online for how to make them yourself, and they’re almost definitely less expensive to build than they would be to buy from a company. Not to mention, we don’t need a company selling invisibility shields. There’s only a single application that I can think of, and you can DIY it. There’s not enough demand or necessity for this company to be relevant.

Evan and Katelyn actually did a video earlier this year on the second product;the it's called a "lenticular lens", and it basically has a bunch of tiny ridges in it that bend light; which is why it's blurry behind the sheet.

PS5 remote play is a thing. But you need a SOLID connection to make it run smoothly and look crisp. I could pull out my phone right now, remotely turn on my ps5 and load a game, but honestly, I’ve never had a great experience with it. But the glasses are still ridiculous, remote play works only okay in most ideal situations, so adding in another layer to it would likely further hamper the experience. Instead of going from PS5 > Network > Phone, it would then be PS5 > Network > Phone > Bluetooth > Glasses, probably doesn’t work that great if it even works at all.

On a ps4, but my mom enjoys playing final fantasy 14 on my old iPad air 2. Controls are kinda the same as her vita, but all she can do is craft cause it takes too long for controls to input. Can’t imagine trying to play a ps5 on those glasses, not on a stable network, and expect anything to even load. Might work for an offline console like switch but doubt it

It's a wire connection to your phone to do the remote play. It's not too bad when you're at a hotel or something. Gamepass works pretty well, though.

With the invisibility shields, if you look at them from an angle you'll see blurry colors, but can't really make out anything of it due to how wide an area they typically suffuse the light. As for why you would want to own one, isn't it just cool to say you have your own invisibility shield?

There's actually this really cool korean drama called "memories of alhambra," where a video game is created that uses lenses and you literally just go around and fulfill missions that are tied to actual locations. it's obvs sci-fi, but has some romance and maybe just a touch of magical realism. The first kickstarter just reminded me of that and it's a seriously well made k-drama (but really underappreciated, i'd say) with really cool effects. :D
