I rarely start threads asking for details about things; I like to do my own research. So, when I start a thread "Asking for Fictional Settings in [Genre]" and people keep responding with games set in [Genre] many of which use Real World setting details, it's a little disheartening. It's like if I created a thread asking for "Games Which Include [Character Type]" and people jumped in to link to Their Favorite Game Thing, saying "If you use [X] and [Y] alternate rules, and include [Z] homebrew additions, it looks exactly like [Character Type]!"
I blame online booster culture. If you're not making a post boosting [Thing You Feel You Have a Personal Stake In], then what are you even doing online? What, trying to have a conversation? HOW DARE YOU!?!

If nothing else the spirit of all this is really energizing.

Please, please, please grammar and spell check your Kickstarter campaign page. If even your campaign asking me for money has typos and mangled syntax, I cannot trust your eventual product won't be a mess.
I back a lot of campaigns and what saves me from spending even more on crowdfunding is how many times I think "oh, this looks like a great idea ... I think ... what are they saying here?"
If anyone has ever said they are confused by your writing or has pointed out errors, put your ego aside and have a third party edit your campaign for you.

This is probably your point--or a magnification of it--but this is probably everyone.

I'm so cynical and apathetic to the state of the world right now, the state of which you can pretty much always trace back to giant greedy corporations in some way, that I'm willing to let my hobby burn to the ground; have it cease to exist, just to rub some dirt in corpo eye.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this. It's like literally everything nowadays must ultimately be reduced to a few bloated money-sucking vampire squids grubbing through the ashes of civilization in search of loose change.

Funny thing is that, in my managerial days, I would go through resumes the same way. With a resume, however, there's also the "too good" end of things. As someone managing tech support and technical writing I needed to know how the prospective employee wrote, not the resume mill that they hired to write if for them.
Every published author that I know hires a proof reader to go over the final daft. I've done proofing on a couple of books as a first pass.
As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you’ll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of dodge for at least 48 hours.

Can't wait to hear what the therapist says.
