Test footage in the final cut because they ran out of loving money.

The scene with the rocket boots and the improbably tall maintenance shaft with repeating deck numbers like a loving Tom & Jerry cartoon.

The world's most obvious greenscreen on Kirk falling off the mountain.

It's all so incredibly bad and amazing.

"From the mind of a madman" according to the original trailer.

The real reason is probably real boring and just some loophole for twitch to weasel out of his contract, because they permanently banned him after it became apparent he lied about having a large offer from a competitor that shutdown shortly after he signed a new contract with twitch.

Oh look, the thinnest-skinned douchebag in gaming is getting into NFTs: https://www.thegamer.com/dr-disrespect-nft-game-players-vote-development/

Dr. Disrespect expects to make a game where his community (which you have to own an NFT to be a part of) votes on the game design, and they'll put out vertical slices to play every six weeks.

And, of course, he gets testy when the viability of that is questioned:

Oh, but that's just his "character" I'm sure.
Haha, Robert Bowling somehow got involved in this. For those of you who don't know: Bowling was the social media guy for Infinity Ward for their prime years, got promoted to a design role when the founders got kicked out and had done nothing in the last ten years. This is going to be a massive clusterfuck.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY - Selling my balance on Celsius

quote:

I have a 6-figure deposit with Celsius, mostly in stable coin. This not FUD! I just don't want to wait until they open up withdrawals (if you believe that is happening). I am willing to negotiate a haircut with someone who wants to purchase my balance.

We will go through intermediaries (e.g. lawyers, escrow service) so that this process is legal and buttoned up. As the purchaser, you are betting that Celsius will open up whereas the seller, I am of the belief that they won't or it will take longer that I am willing to wait.

If you are serious, send me your lawyer's contact information including their name, email, website, and phone number. To avoid any misunderstandings or fraud, I will not negotiate with you directly. We must go through reliable and trustworthy intermediaries.

I don't want to drag this on so I will consider inquiries received until Friday, 15th of July 17.00 EDT. You can expect a response either from me or my lawyer next week.

Again, serious inquires only. Messages without your lawyers contact details will not be considered.

For those who are anxiously waiting and refreshing your browser for news, don't let this eat away at you. Move on to something better and healthier. This is my way of coping.

I wish EVERYONE the best of luck in recovering your funds. I truly do.

Edit: The asset consists of USDC, BTH, ETH. Heavy on USDC. It’s not low 6-figure. Please express your interest in terms of % haircut. I am not your financial advisor but you should only inquire if a six figure investmemt of this nature represents a small portion of your investable wealth. Even after the haircut, I expect the buyout to be a 6-figure offer. I will share the exact details when professional intermediaries are involved.

So like the only thing I've thought of that seems like a legit usage of NFTs is like transferrable ownership of things that are treated as not transferrable on the web, like video games. So like you could "own" the NFT and transfer it on a secondary market if you were done with a game, or hated it or something. Of course the NFT's in the video game communities aren't doing that, but dumb poo poo like voting rights.

Reading r/CelsiusNetwork after the Ch.11 announcement is both parts schadenfreude and shock at the intense resolve some of those absolute dipshits have at needing to keep up the ponzi scheme. The believe that they're still temporarily embarrassed millionaires, bitcoin is still going to go back to the moon, they are still getting their deposits back because the government will enforce their money to be returned, etc. etc. Dumping their savings into Celsius and losing it all is definitely NOT a life lesson; it's just a setback. "Start over, do it again" is almost like a mantra for some of these people.

I mean,

quote:

I've been depressed the entire month. Worst summer of my life. Realized early on that bankruptcy was inevitable. Pulled some money from a Roth and took out a loan for the rest -- I bought back in everything I lost at Celsius. Maybe crazy, maybe not. We will see. Still so disgusted at myself for being so stupid to think you could have risk free 8-10% yields on stable coins. I had pulled those but to get a higher yield elsewhere (and of course now safely back in checking account) so I didn't lose those at Celsius.
Dozens, maybe hundreds of quotes like this.

HAHA

quote:

I lost around 55k in this.

Just going to buy btc and eth in bits every month and one day, I'll make it back. That's my strategy.

Back in January 2021, I lost 6k in crypto and it felt horrible. Oddly, I don't feel even a little bit of emotion right now and I don't know why. Lol. Guess I got used to losing.

Well yeah, the only advantage over some kind of key sharing would be some kind of decentralization, but that's even less friendly for a platforms like steam since they don't care if you own some general game license, they care that you bought one from them.

They also like to point out that it lets you trade the items even if, say, you get banned from the game. Because developers are totally interested in ensuring you can profit off of whatever kind of behaviour got you banned and encouraging others to do so.

Why are these idiots so obsessed with making videogames? They take time, money, skill, and leadership and I'm not sure I've seen a single crypto related project that shows they have even one of those.

At least I understand they primarily want to make pvp mmos: because it's about exclusion and superiority over their lessers.

People who play games very often have terrible ideas about what would make a game good. Design is loving hard and one of the easiest things to do wrong on a game. Doing it by committee of your player base is almost a sure recipe for disaster.

“What makes a game fun” is an incredibly subjective, nuanced topic and there are an endless pile of ideas that sound great on paper but end up playing terribly.

I can’t wait to see how that shitshow develops as mixing NFTs, cryptobros, and the game streamer audience is sure to bring out a real group of winners with great ideas about video games
