The F2P game Storybook Brawl seems to have upset its playerbase lately.



I wonder how?

Thailand is banning cryopto as payments (i.e not crypto trading of "investments").

Source: bunch of crypto news websites I can't be bothered to link to.

This one my biz partner for one of my businesses happens to be in Thailand and is usually paid in stablecoin, but all of his business is outside of. I'll inquire how the grifting will continue if the crypto cannot.

Lol.

Can't wait for him to dump an alpha-level shitheap that is barely a shadow of his promises and quickly move onto hyping a new game with the exact same "what if _game_ but with a morality system?" concept.

Anyone dumb enough to preorder a Molyneux game deserves to lose their money, but someone who dumps $1M in deserves to lose all the money they have ever earned.

I think he is totally right on this - there is no equivocation on crypto or nfts. This poo poo has to be dunked on hard and destroyed completely. There is nothing to be gained by saying “well maybe it has SOME merit”. No, it has none. Burn it all down and salt the earth and mock anyone who tries to promote it until they rethink it or go away crying.

The manufacturers are making money hand over fist - they're supply constrained and the price of video cards just keeps going up. They can sell pallets of video cards to miners who will and are paying whatever the price is set at.

Come the crash it'll just mean that they start selling more to pc gamers at a lower price.

They're not pissed, they're making bank. They're not supporting fakecoin, but they're certainly making money off it.

In theory, they are loaning it out. In reality, they are just depleting their reserves since there is less demand to borrow than to lend, and they charge less interest to borrow (11%) than they pay to stake (20%).

If you've noticed a problem there, so has everyone else - you can deposit at 20% interest, use that as collateral to borrow at 11%, deposit the lent funds to earn 20%, etc etc.

Sure, right, that's why they're explicitly engineering their new gen cards to be intentionally useless for crypto mining.

The denial is far too strong. Obviously I'm in a lot of crypto circles because I do some crypto things (bots that make money), but when I talk NFT's people just shut off the brain and go straight denial. I have tried to get through to them, but literally their thing is "NFT's are great bro! we made progress!" and the reality is it's atrocious on every level. I mean, the best they have is "let's add poo poo on top of NFT's". That's the entirety of their use case for "why NFT's are good". It's hollow as gently caress but they won't listen to anything contrary.

I think I read that this has been bypassed. I had an article I read about people unlocking the "anti-mining" cards to mine on them. However, Eth is supposed to stop mining rewards, so that might help some until the next flavor of grift comes along. My guess is it'll be TON coin, but who knows.
