Being judgmental about how others spend their money is very common on the SA forums, and is not something that only 'they' or 'the others' do. I suspect flatluigi has no problem with being judgmental about how others spend their money, if the judgment is right, in his or her opinion. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 00:13 on Apr 28, 2021 |

Len posted:We get it, you needed a yacht to park your yacht in That's not even a joke those exist. The really rich have even second yacht sized boat follow them around so they have a place to land their helicopter and store their submarine without ruining the view. I'm not really following whatevers being argued about but superyacht money is crazy. Between hundreds of millions in up front costs and multi-thousand dollar a day operating costs it's a lifestyle that mere billionaires couldn't afford.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:It's a huge loving leap to answer "goons want all rich people dead" to the question "what are some things that rich people like which you feel are unfairly maligned on the forums which you are presently posting on." It was, I thought obviously, a hyperbolic joke answer. A real answer might be homes above a certain arbitrary square footage (It was a joke in the sense that it wasn't really what you were asking. It's still true, though)

No, my fellow goon, you're being vague and general to the point of uselessness, it's like saying "goons sometimes think things are bad, but like other things, isn't that hypocritical?" Pick a concrete example of whatever the hell you're babbling about.

I just plain don't understand NFTs. You're spending money and computing power on......nothing? The owner of an NFT image or whatever doesn't even get the copyright to it, that's an entirely separate thing. It reminds me of those star registry things. Why should your "ownership" of the NFT matter to anyone other than other people in the NFT market? Maybe I'm just stupid/prematurely old and unable to comprehend new technology.

No, you absolutely get it. That's what makes NFTs so infuriating. Literally everyone who doesn't have brainworms has that same reaction and there is no greater "aha" moment waiting at the end.

NFTs are people either absolutely falling off the end of the Dunning-Kruger highway, or grifters taking the money of the former.

His kids have had their own tablets since they were like... 3 and 5. He thinks tech = good at this point, and I wish I had the opportunity to be like “yoooo, you notice how a lot of this poo poo sucks or has unintended consequences?” But it’s not my place. I’m planning to do a BitCoin/Crypto/NFT presentation for work in a couple weeks and I’ve made no effort to hide that this will be an anti-Crypto/NFT presentation. I can’t wait!

And it 'can't be forged' about as much as you 'can't forge' a convincing copy of a Black Lotus card. Which is to say they're probably gonna be able to pull it off to about 98% of people, and that 2% won't be in a position to scrutinize it close enough.

Don't forget the real anti-value add: if you want to change the "owned by" field on the digital certificate you need to pay gas to the network and give a cut to the organization who designed the contract. Unrelated fun ad (do not steal I am still minting the NFT)

I don't know if you're joking but apparently it was in fact a pretty brutal QA testing that they could fail you for if the smallest problem happened, and frequently did. The Nintendo Seal of Quality was actually a great authentication mechanism because it specifically means that a room of angry QA monkeys banged on their controllers enough for Nintendo to endorse it as Probably Ok. You know who is endorsing it and (theoretically) why, and the entity endorsing it is largely trusted to do so.

I like the method Traveler's Tales used to get Sonic 3D Blast to pass Sega's QA tests back in the day: if there's an exception, and the game doesn't know how to deal with it, just dump into level select with text that says "You found a secret!"

Yeah, it's not exactly surprising that console games have reached a level of sheer complexity that you cannot actually test all the cases, even with massive manpower. That said, nothing excuses Superman 64.

Even Nintendo themselves did this, with A Link to the Past. If you did something that meant the game couldn't load something properly (the most reliable duplication was basically hitting a specific room warp too fast), it would instead drop you in the Chris Houlihan room, with a secret message and about a hundred rupees. I hope Chris knows how cool this is to nerds like me.
