Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[Flygon]

The cycle continues.

Still waiting for this thread to get more pages than Pokemans.

Took a long vacation is likely code for "they got fed up with my empty promises and no paycheck so they quit"

Why doesn't he just use tor or pay for a vpn that gets past the firewall?

You may google "using a VPN in China" yourself to find out?

Considering Fonzie posted to Facebook isn't that evidence he's already on a VPN?
I thought the Chinese government blocks access to FB (and Twitter, Instagram, etc)

At any rate I do not see why it matters -- Fonzie is not a political activist so the odds are slim that the government would crack down on him out of a billion people.

[tokay]

You don't need to be a political activist to get your phone line shutdown and have to go deal with the police to get it reactivated.
This does not mean you will go to jail, but this is quite a pain in the ass to deal with this.
Not covering Fonzie there, just saying that these things happen. Even outside of China.

What do you guys think will happen with the Megawire website? You know, the URL was on the packaging shown on that infamous party, but genious Fonzie didn't have it registered yet, so some troll bought it and did that bogus site. Will Fonzie use another URL changing the packaging (an sticker?) or will that troll give/sell/exchange it to Fonzie? Who knows

The next step as news will be a gameplay video of Paprium.
Luis confirmed that in Facebook commentaries' answers.
But once again it depends on Fonzie's will.

Thanks for sharing this news. That video really does look legitimate. I still wish we had some kind of timeline.

Everybody talking about the video and not a link in sight for those of us who do not give a damn about facebook

So in the end, I was right. Fonzie has been in the factories for months as he told me in january and last month and he had internet problems in china. Unless he changes his mind, it seems unfortunately obvious he wont show any gameplay, otherwise he would have already done so before.

A very naive question: Why does he need to be at factories for months? TBH, I can't think of a single good reason for that

[roce]

Maybe he's assembling each cart by hand.

[tokay]

Could be that he wants to physically ensure that no additional fake cart is being produced?
I don't know what WM's manufacturing process is, but there clearly are numerous cases of chinese factories producing fake products of their own clients.
Again, just a supposition ;-)

[axel]

Say you own a factory. Would you really want a guy like Fonzie hanging around for months on end, filming your employees and gumming up the works because something doesn't match his grand vision?

I wouldn't want a guy like that within a mile of my business, but that's just me...

[DrLight99]

Maybe Fonzie's been busy the past several months dancing around and lip-syncing in the factory trying to recreate The Sisters of Mercy's music video for the song Lucretia

[Sik]

I'm going to go with either constantly talking to the business people there (being at the factories for months doesn't mean 24hs :​P) or just paranoia…

You joke but right now that's how homebrew is made, and indeed by only one or two people. Even those runs with hundreds of cartridges :​/ It's just still not worth it to automate it.
