I feel like they did Ingrid a little bit dirty this season.

It becomes suspicious when somebody buys a large quantity of stock when all public knowledge and indications are that the most likely direction for the stock to go for the foreseeable future is down.

There never has been that question. He built a shoddy product that eventually literally just developed a software glitch and no longer listened to external commands so just followed its terrible programming which was to consume biomass if there’s no fuel reserves nearby and to kill those it considered hostile.

Oh, it’s 100% dead. Straczynski just needs to keep the hope alive to keep people subscribed to his Patreon.

Hasn’t it been more or less public knowledge that when one of the Japanese Square Enix studios underperforms that they shift the sales expectations onto one of the Western development studios’ games and then blame them for the missed quarterly targets?

They own the developer, but they don’t own the IP. Manipulating the numbers to argue it made less money could mean paying less to the licensor (Disney).

You literally suggested splitting them into two groups and Matt running what amounts to two parallel yet interconnected campaigns simultaneously.

It might have been satisfying for you and your group to play that way, but I’m going to guess that you weren’t producing an actual show out of your play sessions on a weekly basis. You’d be effectively doubling Matt’s workload if they did alternating weeks, or doubling EVERYBODY’S workloads if you’re shooting both…

I feel like the article is, at best, premature? Like, I’m a casual fan of Critical Role, I watch the show but I don’t follow any of them on social media or read much ancillary promo stuff, and I had no idea that Marquet was in any way SWANA inspired based on what’s been presented in the show so far.

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…
