the game's been datamined and the conclusion is that a.) it does not or ever did mine cryptocurrency and b.) the game was pulled for being incredibly unoptimized, most likely because they hastily removed the blockchain elements that, to begin with, were not cryptocurrency mining software.

Yeah there are legit usecases for blockchains that go beyond crypto mining. No idea what you would use them for in a loving cooking mama game though.

Putting Cooking Mama On-Chain
According to a report by Stuff.tv, Cooking Mama is reportedly one of the three games in Planet Digital’s portfolio to be funded with digital preferred shares. The game’s publisher revealed that “Unique Blockchain Private-Keys” come with every copy of the game. These blockchain private keys are expected to offer rewards, enhanced digital rights management, and offer an “Enhanced Multiplayer Experience with Dual Expression.”

With these keys, the company is seeking to ensure that “every copy of a game [would be] subtly different and personal to a user,” creating new and innovative gameplay.

“Putting aspects of Cooking Mama on-chain will take the user experience to a whole new level, reinvigorate a popular game franchise that many grew up with and give investors an opportunity to make handsome returns, through a digital preferred share offering,” the company said.

I have no loving clue why BC tech is necessary for any of this but I dropped out of software engineering studies.

Oddly enough dropping out of software engineering studies makes you a prime candidate for thinking pruned merkle trees are a groundbreaking technology that needs to be in everything yesterday

Those numbers are only confirmed cases and deaths that are officially attributed to covid-19. They're way too low.

A lot of official numbers don’t count people who died before visiting the hospital.

I don’t know if they ever folded that in but it was a thing

The numbers are sketchy but they still give me a general sense of how good an idea it is to stay quarantined. I'm immuno-supressed so I really don't need to be out and about, especially since Michigan's currently top five or ten in terms of number of cases/deaths confirmed and number of cases/deaths per 1M population.

Oh absolutely. My intent was I think the numbers are actually underestimating the impact. I just had open heart surgery a little over six months ago, so my immune system and heart are doing all sorts of fun things, so I'm absolutely watching what's going on in Chicago for sure.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
