I don’t want a facsimile of my childhood spoon fed back to me.

Why it’s the same Green Goblin from the last Spider-Man: No Way Home poster. As if to prove that they didn’t lose too much sleep over the film’s marketing, it’s in the same spot and appears to be the same image, too, like they ctrl-C’d the Photoshop layer in the old poster and ctrl-V’d into the new one.

This would be more for small indie developers.

Where do you think digital assets come from? Where do you think they’re housed on the internet? Someone has to create, host, and distribute these things. It doesn’t work by magic.

Some items can only be won during time-limited tournaments. Time as we know represents scarcity in its own right.

I mean, they recast the Hulk.

When people say “you can’t just take an item from one game and make it work in another game” they are talking about just how much work it takes to take a even something simple-sounding to a layperson, like taking a Mass Effect 1 save and bringing it to Mass Effect 2. Your example literally proves the point.

most innovations don’t do something that has never been done before.

that doesn’t detract from the real potential of the technology.

But the key word is current.

Then my original statement that you disagreed with stands: “Don’t use a proof of work blockchain and the ‘NFTs hurt the planet’ misconception goes out the window”

You want a real example? Think about importing your character from one Mass Effect game to the next.

Has this guy ever played any MMO ever? The loot systems of every multiplayer game with any kind of progression is predicated around scarcity.

How about trustless, platform-agnostic transferral of game licenses?

As has been pointed out a million times before since this trick was discovered ages ago, “GodMode” is just a bunch of random settings that you already have access to and can find by searching the Start Menu.

The subhead still says “eleven episodes.”

I genuinely appreciate these recap articles, as it allows me to dip into the world of comics and see what the medium is doing and saying, without actually having to keep up with them (or read them at all, sorry), but this one just had way too many names and other Proper Nouns for me to grok any of it, even though I do…

You’re missing the point. No one is saying a bunch of men *can’t* form a company without women. Of course they fucking can, piles of men do it every day. Go ahead, dude, gather your drinking buddies and take on the world, no one is going to stop you.

I don’t think they’re going this way, but part of me likes the idea that this takes place in the 25th or 26th century, and the Protostar has been stuck in that cave for 150 years or something.

Every studio that started as a bunch of white dudes was once a freaking startup. It’s death by a thousand cuts, or water drip torture, where each offense is so small and seemingly innocent that they each seem not worth complaining about. That’s how the industry got this bad.
