“I've been googling legal terms all morning and this is actually a HUGE win for Vic!  In this essay, I will..."   -- Vic's weird fans obsessing over this for several years, probably.

Dude looking like the wish version of Homelander in this picture.

The most important thing to remember about Elon Musk’s Eldenring build is that he’s a libertarian asshole who demeans and abuses his employees while taking all the credit for their hard work, coasting through things thanks to an army of idolating idiots who think success can only come from brilliance and not through…

Right, if an NFT was actual art it might have value.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what NFTs are.

I’m worried that all this backlash stems from fundamental misunderstandings of what NFTs *actually* are and their applications

There are no applications that we can’t already do better in a more efficient way.

If the company wanted to let you sell rare cards, they could just let you sell rare cards. Not like NFT has ever been necessary for that. Plenty of property and things have been bought and sold in games such as Second Life with cash and that came out 19 years ago, though I’m sure it’s existed far longer. E-mail and…

Because you can do all this already without NFTs. You’re adding complexity for zero added value, something that in any other industry would result in you getting your walking papers.

Tell me you’re invested in NFTs and / or crypto without telling me you’re invested in NFTs / crypto.

While Benedict Cumberbatch’s Strange has proven by now he’s more than worthy of the Sorcerer Supreme title, a problem as big as the multiverse requires some extra helping hands

Not only doesn’t fit the mold, NFTs are the exact opposite of MP3s in the context they’re using. MP3s destroyed the notion of digital scarcity and drove prices down, NFT tries to ram scarcity back into a market that doesn’t have it and force prices up.

I remember when Steam was called a scam because Valve could go out of business along with your entire library of games.

While “late” is relative and it definitely could get a lot worse, things like wealth inequality and worker protections are the worst they’ve been since pre-Great Depression days. One of our political parties is incapable of doing anything, and the other one actively wants to dismantle the government. Of course, it…

Someone has spent a lot of money on NFTs.

Other fun examples of this “absolute control” mindset:

How are people suppose to talk about a show withouth showing at least a snippet of it?

This isn’t surprising if you know their recent history. while everyone likes to say that Japan is a sophisticated country with smart decisions for many things (their healthcare is pretty damn impressive) a lot of Japan’s systems are completely broken and so far very little has been done to fix them (teenage suicide is…

When it comes to “Why target such a small creator?” All I can think is that they’re using this as a stepping stone. They’re going to go for slow-pitch softball targets so that they can easily win. Winning cases sets up legal precedent to then target bigger entities.

Yea, attitudes like “Oh, you are showing 8 seconds of our 500 hours JRPG game. We must make sure you are destroyed.” usually comes from the ones like Toei. We like their games, we like the art, but this business behavior is hard to understand and imposible to work with. How are people suppose to talk about a show…
