I'm starting to wonder if they really do have a partnership for a custom CPU/GPU from NVIDIA...

Like it isn't too far fetched to imagine someone seeing a tweet about a weird new tech and joining a discord, and hey these people are really excited and posting """"funny""" memes and talking about video games! Fast forward a month and now I'm seeing Twitter strangers calling those people stupid fuckers but now this is part of my identity and they're being mean to my In Group so it's time to double down baby!!! There's a reason they're trying to hound people into their Discord

Well they also have the backing of all the people at NVIDIA who are providing them a custom CPU/GPU. That's gotta count for something.

The "Touch ID" feature got changed to "Scanner". I guess as a precaution before the scam gets so big that Apple starts looking at it.

https://www.pcgamer.com/developer-turns-future-of-gaming-talk-into-a-surprise-attack-on-conventions-nft-and-blockchain-sponsors/ Developer decides to trick swerve into talking about how Web3 loving sucks dick during a Brazil International Games festival to his audience. Said convention was sponsored heavily by NFT companies, but he did check first with the organizers before proceeding (they gave him the green light so good on them too). And then did a double-trick ollie into actually talking about the future of gaming. We need more of these folks.

Gamestop launched it`s own NFT marketplace, it didn't go as well as they hoped: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/07/analysis-gamestop-nft-trading-slows-in-marketplaces-first-week/?comments=1 I also tried to click the link to the NFT section on Gamestop.com and... quote:403 ERROR

The people on Reddit who have Gamestop stock think that over the next few days the SEC is going to force a wallstreet broker to buy all of their Gamestop stocks at a price of literally $10 million per share Makes me wonder how much of that $800k trading volume was Gamestop-holding dorks who think they're about to become fabulously rich and were spending money they don't actually have

Dark_Swordmaster posted:That's not real. There's no loving way. They cannot possibly believe this. This is a satire-gone-too-far joke post. YOU ARE LYING! YOU HAVE TO BE loving LYING! Here's what I understand of their thought process: The whole thing started because they realized Citadel Securities (or whatever their name is) was shortselling Gamestop, they sold more GME shares than they held. When they realized this, /r/wallstreetbets scrambled to buy up every GME share they could get their hands on and convince people to hold onto them until the SEC forces Citadel to purchase as many shares as they need in order to complete their sale. The thought was that all of the WSB posters could buy up every existing share and then only list them at extreme prices, which they believe Citadel will be forced to pay. They have all been "Direct Registering" their shares with Computershare which I guess prevents those shares from being used in short sales or something. (They call this the MOASS or Mother of All Short Sales [?]) On the low end, they were all banking on automated limit sell orders on computershare which had a maximum limit of $214,748 until the GME stock split a while back. However, Computershare changed the limit to $3500 per share following GME's split: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/w3y1e0/computershare_new_sell_limit_order_prices/ The top voted comments in this thread are all about how this is actually a good thing because no one will actually sell at $3500 like they would have at $214,748, which means that Citadel will not be able to buy enough shares from sell orders to complete their short sale. You can see that as of today, while the GME NFT marketplace's trade volume has dropped by 90%, they're still talking about it like it's Digital Jesus: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/w3w6pu/gme_marketplace_volume_1001578654_6428423_eth_boom/ I can't find them now but there are comments throughout various threads where people talking about what they plan to sell at, with most of them expecting to get anywhere from $1m-$10m per share. What I'm guessing will happen if anything at all happens (I am not a financial expert at all and have no idea what I'm talking about) is Citadel will eventually have to buy a bunch (not "all of them" like reddit thinks) but they're going to get them at under the (new) $3500 limit order price set by Computershare, because this has been a massive grift by a few outspoken /r/wsb posters all along (who could possibly be Gamestop execs or board members or something??) and they're just going to be happy with the stock they bought thousands of shares of at $30 selling for $3k each and they'll be happy to list at $3k to make sure their sales process first before the unwashed masses of reddit who are listed at $3500 e: For what it's worth it's nearly impossible to follow any of the reasoning about any of this because they've built up a weird cultish thing of worshipping contextless stats, they (used to?) post "deep dives" where they would write 10k+ word manifestos about how random spikes, statistics, numbers, etc. all lead to this grand revelation that Gamestop shares were going to be worth millions, and if you ask for clarification about what any of it means you get accused of being a "mole" sent by Citadel and banned from the sub. So I don't know how accurate my depiction is but it's definitely along the lines they are thinking on deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Jul 21, 2022 |

Here is someone who believes that the Gamestop NFT Marketplace will soon be earning Gamestop millions of dollars per hour because things like real estate deeds and car titles are going to be sold on a failed video game retailer's NFT Marketplace for some reason.

Popete posted:I'm no investor whizz but in the situation where Citadel was "forced" to buy stocks at millions of dollars per share would they not just go bankrupt and never purchase back the stocks? Yes. Which is exactly what happened to Melvin Capital, the hedge fund that had the biggest short position in Gamestop back in January 2021. Except they didn't just declare bankruptcy, and they didn't buy stocks from rubes for a million dollars per share. Instead they went to even bigger fish of wall street and did a deal. Citadel "invested" $2 billion into Melvin. Invest means you're getting a portion of what you invest in. Melvin Capital at the beginning of 2021 had ~$8 billion. They lost 50% of it during the short squeeze, effectively $4 billion. Where did that $4 billion go? To Citadel, and to other large investors. They settled up among themselves, unwound all the shares back through all the layers of shorts and options. Everybody got a little taste of that $4 billion. Because they're all big enough and have enough trade volume that they can do that sort of thing. Why? Because they all know that Gamestop isn't worth the price it was trading for. But these mammoths can't dump shares to take profit -- the redditors don't have enough money to absorb a billion dollars in shares. This way they get paid without having to actually do anything. And they can slowly sell into the spike for more profit. Why? Because it cuts out all the idiots demanding a million dollars per share. All the robinhood rubes are holding paper. They can demand the moon, but if someone with an equal number of shares says "eh I'll take $50/share to cover your short" then they don't get the moon, now do they? This isn't a conspiracy, this is the prisoner's dilemma. The WSB idiots are saying "we will hold GME till we die or go to the moon". The big fish are saying "will defect for reasonable fees". If I defect and take a lower price and you don't, I make all the money and you get hosed. That's how the market works.

SE liquidating its developers was a good move since they were languishing under its thumb, and to say they did it solely to fund NFT pet projects is just people looking to pin blame on something. That said, let them break themselves on NFTs. They’ll change their tune when they shove it into some game down the line and the playerbase riots.

That is actually less stupid than normal as instead of pretending it is an actual thing they are just skipping right to what it actually is. Still more stupid than an actual Certificate but at least it is not going that extra dumb leap of claiming the NTF has value itself I guess?

So about that... https://twitter.com/churroz/status/1549889215508275200 In case that's hard to parse: they are selling you the figure for one cost and it comes with an NFT "certificate of authenticity", and a more expensive version with a bonus NFT of the figure itself.

with the bonus that when they take down the servers you lose any ability to verify the authenticity immediately rather than when the paper it's on rots.

I just don't see what Square Enix gains from this, unless they are cheaping out on the quality of the figure and they expect people to buy it because it comes with a NFT. Maybe they expect it will introduce people to the idea of NFTs and might be more willing to buy worthless JPGs if they buy a figure that includes one?

I have no idea what they get out of this. Do they have a stake in the NFT host Enjin? Do they have a plan if that company goes tits up? Do they make money on the resale of the NFT? So many questions.

NFT's magically make money. Just by saying 'NFT' in an earnings call you will make $20,000. Personally. Just make sure you say 'NFT' to 5 coworkers and they to 5 other coworkers each.
