That’s just an append only database, though. That’s been around for as long as digital databases have been around. Bank accounts tend to be append only ledgers, for instance. Disputed transactions don’t get erased from the ledger, they just add another transaction that credits the money that was debited by the…

The thing is, itch takes almost nothing from game sales on their platform. By default they take 10%, but developers can set it to 0% if they want. So they’re not really talking out of both sides of their mouth here. Also, only ONE of the games with the NFT tag is actually a game that is being sold. Everything else in…

(note many DLTs are now carbon negative)

Holy shit this the dumbest fucking cryptobro post I’ve seen yet. Which places it in the all time Hall of Fame for dumbest posts ever.

It was also part of the plot of Superman III.

But, if energy use and it’s impact is truly your concern than the argument is more about how we obtain our energy than how we use it.

The fact that the crypto ecosystem is existing with so much money in it, without completely collapsing,

Bitcoin uses almost half as much energy as the global banking industry but uses it to process at least 3 orders of magnitude fewer transactions than the global banking industry does. If the blockchain was being used to process the literally billions of daily transactions that banks do, it would use several thousand…

surely wallets will add new security and filtering features as time goes on, the way all technologies evolve.

You know that one of the big problems with crypto and NFTs is that they make many of the things that you’re whatabouting worse, right? They’re an engine designed to concentrate wealth and burn unfathomable amounts of energy to do so.

This point was so weird for him to make without contextualizing it. Did you know that there’s nothing to prevent someone from sending malware to your email address? The malicious tokens sent to a crypto wallet don’t do anything unless you specifically seek them out (normally you won’t even know they’re “in your…

A spokesperson for Activision Blizzard told Kotaku in an email the company is “carefully reviewing the request for voluntary recognition from the CWA, which seeks to organize around three dozen of the company’s nearly 10,000 employees.”

Even though Foxhole isn’t a ‘Play to Earn’ game, I think anybody who is considering trying to jump on that particular bandwagon should be paying attention to this.

Horrible accent aside, Jones in ‘Blown Away’ is probably the best ‘Tommy Lee Jones as The Riddler’ on film.

Arkane hasn’t shown off any official gameplay yet, but if Redfall is anything like the rest of the studio’s oeuvre, it’ll be gorgeous and evocative and so, so real-feeling…and also handle worse than Mass Effect’s notorious Mako.

Valve has publicly shot down that rumour (and Tyler’s credibility has been basically nonexistent for a while now). There’s a lot of evidence that they’re working on a next-gen headset, codenamed ‘Deckard’. Though their primary focus right now hardware wise is the Steam Deck.

Ethereum is going proof of stake next year

In the CES keynote they said it does foveated rendering.

The headset specs are VERY nice. HDR OLED (curious if this is a custom full RGB sub-pixel OLED), eye tracking, foveated rendering and in-headset rumble (which is a thing I’ve been wanting since the Vive). Only thing missing is the off-ear speakers like the Index and HP Reverb G2 have.

I gave up on this show after the first episode was an absolute trash fire, and the plot points described in this review have only reassured me that I made the correct decision.
