You misunderstand, the Wikipedia quote is to illustrate that Pong came out after the Oregon Trail’s first version.

I currently have two 1440p monitors stacked on top of each other, so yes, this would be a decent replacement for my current setup.

Media mail isn’t quite as protected as the rest of the mail, as if it’s clearly not media, it gets sent back to you. And it doesn’t tend to be as robust.

Man, I want so hard to knee-jerk that those are Marvel characters, but with Marvel being both the comics and the movies/television series, yeah, this parses. Ridiculous movie rights.

It’s okay, they have a year to get it in shape before a proper release.

“Christmas is for everyone, and things that are for everyone suck.”

They wouldn’t have to travel, because USPS mail is protected by the Federal government, and none of it is allowed to be tampered with under any circumstances. To the extent that illicit substances are successfully sent through the USPS mail all the time. The laws passed by those states have no teeth.

FF7R can be a standalone game and still be considered excellent.

Unfortunately, that also falls under “anecdotal evidence,” and doesn’t answer the question of whether the study controlled for these factors. Thanks for the reply, at least!

I have a bit of an issue with this statement:

It’s exactly how value works. Things hold value because people believe they hold value. The problem is when value “bubbles,” or is inflated beyond the actual confidence of people in that particular thing.

Some good points, to be sure! And as a complete side note, it’s actually refreshing to have a conversation about crypto that isn’t heavily steeped in the “hodl” mindset that pervades a lot of crypto enthusiast fora. It’s weird how some people have turned an economic idea into some sort of quasi-religious thing. Here’s…

The fact that there are a million crypto currencies, and anybody can start one, is actually a mark against crypto as a currency. As I said, currency needs stability. Fiat currencies are balanced against their home nation’s economic strength, and other currencies are based around the value of specific commodities (gold…

I think the primary benefit is the issue that porn producers of all stripes have had with credit card companies. Since crypto works without that middleman, and because it’s much harder to engage in scammy tactics thanks to the blockchain being open, it’s safer and more reliable for both those making porn and those…
