SettingSun posted:I never really understood the rise of the desire to own game assets in a meaningful sense. Another bitcoin solution looking for a problem perhaps? people who waste thousands of hours of their life playing World of Warcraft or other hyperaddictive online game can sell their account with all of the loot and XP they accumulated for thousands of dollars. But what if the game you poured all those hours into ends up losing popularity and abandoned by its publisher? It's happened before and this terrifying thought haunts every poop-socker like a spectre.

He's selected a high peak from the last 30 years and compared it to a low trough now. The graph shows a clear increasing trend when you consider all data and not his two points.

Chainclaw posted:I'm curious, what's the actual risk part for these companies? I thought that to them it was basically like printing pogs with their company logo. Just chasing a fad, and dropping like $10k to mint some stupid NFTs that everyone will forget in 3 months is cheaper than a lot of other advertising. Usually that's nothing in the marketing budget, I've heard of marketing teams rack up bar bills that size in a single night at a single bar schmoozing clients. When we start talking about blockchain for MMOs that's new development so add 6-18 months of consultants jerking off to the above in exchange for maybe getting rid of Ethereum management.

zedprime posted:Most of them run a reference implementation of smart pogs in Ethereum who's gas costs quickly add up. Plus tech support to plumb up the reference implementation to their existing IT infrastructure, business process support to plumb up Ethereum gas purchases to accounts payable and Ethereum gas revenues to accounts receivable, tech support to build whatever experience out of the NFT. The benefit is clearly to garage rug pullers here - making NFTs big business has a lot of business process hurdles to clear. I ended up learning way more about the (lack of) use of blockchain for games in summer 2020 when one of my fiance's startup partners took a hard veer toward wanting to go deep into NFT town with the software/game/toy thing they were building. She was in the camp initially of "This is setting off every bullshit alarm for me but I'm a designer not an engineer, so explain it to me" and it was like... none of the things the other startup people wanted to do were helped in any way by blockchain, I think they were also not engineers so they didn't realize that "just making your game assets NFTs" doesn't mean that they'll somehow be useful in other games. Then some drama happened, and later was some legal action, and eventually somehow the NFT person died, no idea how or why, but it basically put an end to any lingering drama around the startup.

Gubbinal Girl posted:This December featured a polar vortex so yeah no poo poo it was colder than some random December in the 80s Yup, but the problem is twofold: 1. Its colder BECAUSE more extremes were predicted as climate change gets worse. This is a favorite of Climate Change deniers because for some reason Global Warming would mean an end to seasons which...has nothing to do with Global Warming? 2. It ignores that overall other than the polar vortex, its still a warmer than average winter the majority of the time.

Step 1: decide to turn all your game items in to nfts Step 2: work out a universal and enforceable standard that all games in all engines have to use that allows quick and simple swapping of complex assets between games it's easy!

Adjacent to Bitcoin but the same narrative patterns of “hodl” and warriors against the establishment/feds and we’re early etc. are found in the bed bath and beyond sub - a bunch of people super-invested in the secret potential of BBBY stocks to shoot up to unfathomable wealth if you get in early enough due to its secret values - and they are going batshit over the news the company is contemplating bankruptcy in a very familiar way.quote:Ignore the Shills: We Believe in BBBY quote:Mayo boi & Co are in rage mode tryna make us quit. Fuk them and their nepotistic friends. They’re the ones short on time. This is obvious to me when looking at the short volume and market manipulation since tuesday, even before yesterdays company filings. There’s rainbow charts, FUD, hodl, not financial advice, buy the dip, copium and hopium, etc. How many of these communities of “investors” are out there pouring life savings into memecoins and memestocks, all sharing the same lingo? There’s even highly downvoted comments saying this is just what happened before Celsius collapsed.
