Yeah, that’s bullshit. Most NFTs are traded on carbon neutral/negative chains. Additionally, Bitcoin (which isn’t used for NFTs mind you) incentivizes renewable energy (bar a few stupid companies like the one trying to buy a coal plant), and is still an order of magnitude lower than useless industries producing land…

They aren’t useless, but yeah you hit the nail on the head. You have a bunch of people complaining about something that they barely understand and that they could just ignore if they wanted to...

Ever tried to fire up an old game...that needs a CD key...but the key activation servers were shut down so now you need to find a crack to get it to launch?  NFTs solve that problem.

Exactly this, imagine if Steam’s card (and item) economy could be exchanged back to real money or also taken out of the Steam ecosystem. Valve still gets a cut, you get a cut, the original artist gets a cut, etc. That’s what NFTs enable. All without requiring a single company to keep servers running to validate all of…

The biggest hazard I see is if the SEC decides “everything is a security so every transaction must be recorded and taxed!” and screws up the entire ecosystem.

The energy use attack is a strawman anyway. The vast majority of NFTs are being traded on carbon neutral (or even carbon negative) blockchains. Even Bitcoin’s energy use is a drop in the bucket compared to legacy banking...or gold mining...or literally any other industry. (And before you say “but the amount of energy…

Clicked off of a shitty slideshow, saw the title of this, had my “the author made another fucking slideshow didn’t he” spidey sense tingle...and what do you know...another fucking slideshow.

Ah yiss! Another post from a kotaku blogger who shows time and again that they don’t understand anything technical or with nuance!

The amount of stupid and misinformation I see in comments and the original posts around crypto is mind blowing.

The point is that it doesn’t matter if they’re “better”   Hardly anyone plays them. It’s like saying “there’s better competitive military first person shooters than battlefield and call of duty” but no one plays them and if you ask someone on the street about them they’d say “huh?”

It’s now 2021 and I just saw this story because Kotaku likes recycling old content these days. Hello!

The Reply series are great with 1988 being the best. I’d say they standout because they ease you into this nostalgic sense of being a teenager in that year.

Keep in mind, the majority of this list is by-the-numbers k-dramas. The reason Squid Game was a standout was because it was fairly unique and for the most part didn’t fall into any k-drama tropes (the most common of which are: rich/boss man/lady is a dick, but learns to fall in love with lowever-level/poor man/lady…

Yeah, this isn’t going to help much. Most toxicity is within team chat. Normally all chat gets reserved to calling out anyone feeding/afk’ing, and talk between people in the same lane (i.e. “damn you teemo, why you gotta shroom my lane”)

Because the blogger that posted this couldn’t be bothered to read the 1 paragraph in their source about the nasal cycle (or show even a tiny amount of common sense...). It’s the periodic congestion and decongestion of the nasal pathways, but they are never fully blocked. The amount of airflow changes slightly and that…

That’s because we only breathe through one nostril at a time, even when we’re healthy. (The nostril that’s stuffed is just the one that happens to be resting at the moment.)

Pro tip: if you watch it, stop after they finish the first heist (seasons 1 and 2). It’s not “great” but is at least watchable. Seasons 3-5 are utter trash where every main character always chooses the worst possible option in every situation in the name of drama. They also toss in dozens of waste of time flashbacks…

Better translations won’t save how stupid of a show Money Heist is.... Season 1 and 2: “perfect heist except one of the main characters is an emotional idiot who nearly ruins everything and gets a bunch of them killed”

“games are Scary Good!”
