Cliffsnotes?
Devi likes to jump down Anita Sarkeesian's throat because she thinks she's faking feminism for popularity and misrepresenting the state of the industry.

Devi is wrong about a lot of things, but that's about what I expect from anarchistic Ayn Rand fans.

The money she got from this kickstarter wouldn't scratch the surface.

According to one of her rants between 20-26 thousand as she's all ready sunk near that amount into prep for it and it's the last thing to complete her transformation.

There's at least one very insensitive Console joke to be made about that.

Probably. :erm:

Has sex change technology reached the point where you can still have your orgasms? Last I heard, its pleasurable, but no climax :picard: That's a fuck load of $$ to give away along with an essential part of life.

I looked up this Sarkeesian character. She does make some good points. But seriously, who the fuck cares!!!!!!!!

Exactly. Plenty of sub-$100 pedals in the early days, too.

Not to be too narcissistic, but I think my statement would be a great explanation for the whole pedal/vidya coding/console quagmire.

I sadly was afraid this was coming when the cool new pedals vanished and retro-esque video games started appearing as well.

Then the promised $10 "put a banner on my web site" never materialized, which takes a whopping few seconds to do. I'll chalk that up to a tip for enjoying the Devi stuff I do have.

I loved the old products but there was nothing really new after the Test Pattern and Circuit Breaker and ..it was obvious there wasn't the drive any more.

Then the cost-cutting came - the SMD, the 'no more chaos switch without special order', etc.

Ah, well, I hope somebody responsible takes over the business. Love the stuff, but the drama got old. I didn't care about the music or the video games, I just liked the pedals, and once it shifted from that, /game.

It was a case of "want to buy product without buying the person" after a while, and the two couldn't be separated.

I still do love the products, don't get me wrong. I really truly do. They let me have noises my board would not make otherwise, and for that I'll be grateful.

I just hope whoever steps up does it right and goes back to basics.
