The problem with holding wealth as crypto is that if you divest it for actual stable currency that you can use to buy real things, and do so in any significant amount, you devalue your crypto in the process. Like, say I found a boutique soda company. And it does so well that I make a deal with Coke where they buy me…

This right here! I'm not surprised by the price of this at all, I was actually bracing for something even higher then $550.

My guess as to why she never told them it was Sauron is that 1) they would not have forged the rings if they knew that was the case, and 2) she needs the rings in order for the Elves to stay in Middle Earth, so 3) she can continue her quest to destroy Sauron. What I find interesting about that choice is that it…

Hey Kotaku, Luke, Patricia, et al.

Satire which doesn’t read as satire, isn’t.

Not sure how they can. The elves sailing to Valinor were already using the Straight Road, which shouldn’t exist until after Pharazon’s pholly (sic).

We pinky promised. That means something in my house.”

but why he’s seen pouring apple juice into a bowl of Cheerios at one point instead of milk is anyone’s guess

No, it’s really not “a far worse problem.” You’re not looking at this in a per/capita basis of water use and what is produced from that water. California, as a state, is the 5th largest producer of food and agricultural commodities in the world. It’s the largest food producer in the country while also having less than…

I feel like there’s room for a more grounded Saints Row than SR4, but gleeful amorality is a huge part of the appeal of this series, and not leaning into that seems like a misstep. This series’s ethos really should be “be gay, do crimes.”

Meh. As others have pointed out, the whole appeal of the Addams family is, despite their appearance and interests, the Addamses are more gracious, open-minded, and well-adjusted than any “normal” suburban nuclear family. Wednesday wouldn’t be above scaring the hell out of a water polo team, but attempted mass murder…

If you want a documentary that actually asks “why big tiddy anime girls?”, People Make Games did a really interesting dive into this.

If your Old Fashioned has cherry and orange in it, it's made wrong.

Yeah I wouldn’t pay that much for a VR headset. Maybe in the future when they are worth it, but not now.

Listen I like nitpicking science goofs as much as anyone else, but it beggars belief that the communication time delay was an actual goof given they mention that very thing later in the *same* episode. Mostly likely the scene was supposed to be occurring at the beginning of the mission when they were still close to…

I’m assuming there was a fairly big time jump during the mission, specifically before the last time they showed the countdown, and during that time they went from a negligible delay to the five-minute delay.

One saving grace of Halo TV is that, no matter how weird it gets, I’m now on-board with the characters and invested in whatever goes down with them. For the first time in my exposure to this universe I actually cared that a Spartan was in danger. And then I felt it about 12 times in the same episode.

it’s all monopoly money. this crypto currency is theoretically worth 600 million but there aren’t enough people in the world with that much money that are stupid enough to buy it. you can be a crypto millionaire on paper but you aren’t actually a millionaire until you manage to cash out and turn that crypto into USD…

People do things because they love doing them, not because of the chance to make money.
