Eeehhhh, from what I saw of that monkey butthole game they at least pass the minimum bar for 90s era flash game. Like, what I saw some dude on Youtube playing wasn't all that different from me piloting a fighter jet around asteroids in my middle school's computer lab.

It's just a bad game, doubly so in 2022.

poo poo would have been pretty interesting in 1996, though.

The objetive in all these crypto/NTF games seems to be to make money (real money) by collecting whatevers and be awarded some NFT poo poo you can sell and what not

No you see it's actually a game of skill, not an illegal lottery

"Nobody will remember this 30 year old piece of poo poo game from newgrounds, so let's put it into a monkey's anus and charge people $5000 in crypto to play it with a chance to win (unspecified bullshit)".

OK, lets not just trust a random tweet.... But, Fed Board released this yesterday: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-02-07/pdf/2023-02192.pdf

A document I didnt read all of posted:

The Board has not identified any authority permitting national banks to hold most crypto-assets, including bitcoin and ether, as principal in any amount, and there is no federal statute or rule expressly permitting state banks to hold crypto-assets as principal. Therefore, the Board would presumptively prohibit state member banks from engaging in such activity

RIP crypto banks

drk
Jan 16, 2005
continuing for those who care

Board of the Federal Reserve posted:

The Board believes this presumption is bolstered by safety and soundness concerns. The Financial Stability Oversight Council has observed that, in the absence of a fundamental economic use case, the value of most crypto-assets is driven largely by sentiment and future expectations, and not by cash flows from providing goods or services outside the crypto-asset ecosystem. This prevents firms that hold crypto- assets from engaging in prudent risk management based on the underlying value of most crypto-assets, their anticipated discounted cash flows, or the historic behavior of the relevant markets. Moreover, the crypto-asset sector—which is globally dispersed—is largely unregulated or noncompliant with regulation from a market-conduct perspective, and issuers are often not subject to or not compliant with disclosure and accounting requirements. This opacity may make it difficult or impossible to assess market and counterparty exposure risks. Further, engagement in crypto-asset transactions can present significant illicit finance risks, in part due to the pseudonymity of transactors and validators. Finally, crypto-assets that are issued or transacted on open, public, and/or decentralized ledgers may involve significant cybersecurity risks

Tons of people have good ideas. I"m sure I've had a good idea for a video game or two while taking a poo poo.

Ideas don't count for poo poo, execution is what matters. Any jackass can have an idea, very few have the knowledge and skills to pull it off or even know if it's feasible.

I mean, this is the whole reason why "i'm an ideas man" is a meme about someone being utterly loving useless.

I could make you a whole catalog of hacked together pinball games, but they wouldn't count as good. They'd pay me fairly, but mostly because my work wouldn't be worth much.

Another example of a crypto bro learning that real world rules also apply to their digital pogs. Guy who launched a range of NFTs based on a luxury handbag brand found to have infringed their trademark.

From the article: “We do not yet know what pushed the jury over to Hermès side. But one issue that they likely weighed was evidence indicating that Rothschild [the NFT creator] launched the MetaBirkins NFTs as a commercial venture,” more than an art project.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

We are firmly entering the fight phase, with the White House/FED and OCC trying to cut off the oxygen to the crypto industry.

The disrupted never welcome the disrupting with a red carpet...ultimately, global digital payment rails are inevitable; and if the US want to cede first mover advantage to more forward thinking countries, they'll just have to play catch up later.

The digital asset class and the new iteration of the internet will be here far longer than the Biden Administration or the Warren anti-innovation wing of the Democratic party. The battle lines will be drawn and crypto will have to prove its value beyond an insular circle jerk of speculation. This will take years to play out and I am fine with patiently waiting it out to get to the "then you win" part of the disruptive tech cycle.

ellie the beep posted:

so at first i was annoyed at how much you post that, but then i was like, do they really? maybe it just feels that way because i dislike it, and so it stands out more to me

so i went looking backwards through your post history in this thread and because i dont understand how to make a computer do things for me i started counting on my fingers and in the past forty posts youve specifically mentioned that seraph bought that for you six times

so i went back a page and tallied again, skimming and counting and thought to myself thats odd, yet again there are six seraph bought this title for you mentions, what a coincidence !

so i went back forty posts yet further and would not you know it, seraph is credited for the purchase of your title six times exactly

so you can understand my surprise on discovering that not in the further two pages checked is a single mention!

so then i click previous page once more and finally i have dug far back enough to find the post where you remark on it having been initially purchased, and that made me even MORE curious, because that means the timeline went that seraph bought you the ad and you acknowledge it once, then an ENTIRE YEAR passes, and then fully fifteen percent of your post history is telling people that seraph bought you that av

so i have to ask: what the gently caress is your deal?

Spewing insults, pissing off all your neighbors, betraying your allies, backing out of treaties and accords, and generally screwing over the global environment?
ALL PART OF MY BRILLIANT STRATEGY!
I wonder when "disruption" became an inherently good thing to some people. I mean I could "disrupt" a social function by walking into the middle of it and taking a dirty great poo poo on the carpet, that'll definitely upset the current mechanics and force the adoption of a new one(perhaps someone watching the door and holding the function away from the nice rugs), but it's not really going to improve the amount of fun or productivity anyone's having. Half the time, "disrupting" an industry just means "forcing everyone to adopt new rules that'll prevent you pulling this bullshit again that was a obviously a terrible idea to everyone but you, and therefore no one had thought it needed to be explicitly forbidden or to have a dedicated agency preventing people from doing it."
