I remember playing through Portal 2 co-op and noticing that a small handful of hats from TF2 worked in it. I can't imagine it changed anybody's life as the system never seems to have been updated to include any additional hats. There just really is no great use case for this.

Hell, I'm pretty sure Nintendo managed to put in more effort and real utility with Amiibos. Of course, the trick is I think Nintendo is well aware it's a cute gimmick. Hence why they didn't go all in on it like Skylanders and result in a massive crash and bargain bins at Gamestop.

Why would a game dev spend money making an NFT work cross platform on their project without a kick back. You would have to spend money to use your NFT in each game, it's just another hat.

bobjr posted:https://twitter.com/interneth0f/status/1633134986734837760?s=46&t=CBKJcBX0BD3U5HgUdsqBtw That article is good because it has a paragraph that sums up the core problem with NFTs that doesn't really get expressed enough: quote:Beneath the common complaints that they're environmentally costly and more or less stupid, I think NFTs inspire so much repulsion on social media because they seem to corrupt something that people actually do want. Sameness is everywhere in this era of mass production, and what started on assembly lines was near-perfected by computers, which can duplicate data near-instantly. From that perspective, the scarcity and uniqueness of NFTs might be seen as subversive: They're pushing against the current of history. It feels like something could be cool about that, somehow. But not thishow. While individual NFTs are unique, the obvious goal of corporations is to do what they always do and mass produce that uniqueness. The majority of NFTs are just another kind of mass-made plastic tchotchke, or commemorative gold coin like the ones sold on TV at 2 am. They contain nothing that's good about handmade, one-of-a-kind items; all they do is irradiate the concept with high-grade art collector snobbery and Beanie Baby-style financial speculation. What is a "Web3 fan" but a fan of buying and owning things? Isn't this about art? Basically NFTs claim to be unique and collectable but they're really, really not and this is so obvious to anyone with a normally-functioning brain (and even lots of people who don't have normal brains) that it's offensive. Elden Lord Godfrey posted:coffeezilla is ideologically very crypto friendly he has no firm commitments that the entire crypto field is entirely a scam, its just that he finds it easy to make content about crypto scams (for a good reason) Whenever he or KiraTV say this it's funny in a really sad way, because you can tell they're begging someone, anyone to make the bullshit worthless idea that is crypto do something useful. Which crypto will never be able to do because it was garbage from the start.

I dont think most would care about NFTs even if they were loving Mona Lisas instead of ugly procedurally generated poo poo NFTs are a desperate way to reproduce the worst aspects of capitalism in environments were stuff can be freely duplicated. Is about ostentation and speculation, is not about art or fun or anything people are actually interested when they are playing videogames or even using twitter Is about idiots wanting to look like the virtual version this on social networks  while exploiting third world people as wage slaves on some minecraft clone to mine NFT diamonds for them or something equally stupid And nobody wants that but those idiots Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Mar 8, 2023 |

Imagine if the billion randomly-generated guns in Borderlands were all NFTs, and all the lame guns you're likely to find are all worthless, and the actually-rare combo of good stats and all is ludicrously rare and expensive. This would be terrible. And then somehow these guns would also be usable in Call of Duty and Fortnite and Last of Us and Mario Kart? Or, like, look at Diablo 3, a real-world case where randomly-generated loot drops were also available to be sold for real money at the in-game cash auction house. Everyone hated this and it was patched out of the game, replaced with improving loot drop chances so you'd be more likely to actually get loot that you want.

So continuing my watch on this and occasional report back to the thread. BBBY decline continues, it's now at 1.31. 1.25 is where things start to get spicy. Under the terms of the deal Hudson is not obligated to offer up any more money past the original loan if it drops below that point. So if BBY burns through the initial 225million they're not getting any more of that billion dollars that were on offer. Anybody pointing this out in R/BBBY is of course just spreading FUD.

So to be clear, does r/BBBY accept that the Hudson Bay deal is a real thing that exists in reality, because it staved off bankruptcy and that's Good? Or do they reject the reality that is the Hudson deal, because the deal is structured such that 1) it basically prevents the price from ever going "up", let alone "to the moon" and 2) is on the verge of evaporating?

There's a goddamn boatload of opinion and speculation of course. I'd say generally there isn't that much rejection of reality about the massively reported thing that's really happened but the stock will shoot up any day now due to *Reasons*. So be sure to buy and HODL some more! However there definitely are reoccurring threads of "No, no, HB didn't really invest. It's all just a front for x" which inevitably immediately segue into either this means the stock is about to go straight to the moon, or this is all part of a dirty trick by 'The hedgies' to steal our moon money! With the former more common of course. As to the reality of the deal kneecapping any significant valuation gains short of an actual miracle. Lol, no of course not. That's FUD talk which gets stomped on immediately. Deptfordx fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Mar 8, 2023 |

Judging by the kind of Ls crypto has been taking lately, it seems very likely that the cryptobros and NFT idiots are going to be the ones that end up in poverty. It's your fault if you fell for the world's most obvious ponzi scheme thinking someone else would hold the bag for you. And if you want to collect stuff to invest in, I'd rather try my luck in things like Pokemon or Magic cards, which still hold their value. Sucks to be the guys who thought it'd be a fast ticket to easy wealth, and invested everything they had, though.

There has to be some kind of overlap, because by and large gamers hated NFTs, they didn't see the appeal of yet another monetization strategy on top of the current lootbox craze, and they didn't like how expensive graphics cards had gotten. But at the same time, the entire meme stock craze started around Gamestop. And people keep trying to make NFT games, trying force a round peg into a square hole.

There will be loads of people - probably the majority of people really - who can't explain what a blockchain is, how it works, what it does, or articulate why that is apparently good or revolutionary, beyond the talking points they've memorised. Having a surface level understanding is only relevant if/when you're trying to convince others to get involved, and that doesn't take much if those people too are primed to throw money at something that "will 100x soon trust me bro". Same goes for GME, AMC, BBBY et al.. people piled in and parrot the whole "hedgie shorts r fuk" without any understanding at all of what those words even mean, even if they were in English instead of the bollocky wank you see on WSB and in crypto circles.. ser when moon frens. gently caress! Anyway, hardly anyone involved actually earnestly gives a poo poo about GameStop, really, beyond the possibility that it might make them rich if they HODL. Same goes for BBBY, all these "we just love the stock" cretins probably haven't been in a Bed, Bath and Beyond store for years, if ever, which should tell them something if they didn't have a vested interest in not knowing.
