Let’s put this shit into context:

When you consider all the things crypto cultists value about crypto - fantasies of ownership without law and society, the idea that “decentralization” means they have value and worth without authority - the fact that all these things require infrastructure escapes their notice comes as no surprise.

How’s this compare to Backbone? Because this whole theme and aesthetic, the comparisons to Disco Elysium, it all has me on edge.

Honestly “drug him and hit him with this $5 wrench” seems like something that should be done to crypto nerds as a matter of course, even if they have exactly zero valuable passwords to divulge

That’s part of the grift - the idea that crypto is “real money” to begin with

And the people who bought into Beanie Babies still had the toys when the speculative bubble burst!

They want the Wild West but cry foul whenever the train gets robbed~

“He knows no chivalry and doesn’t realize he’s about to become the very monster he seeks to destroy.”

If you’re familiar with the plot of the original Final Fantasy, the fact that the protagonist is a Jack Garland who has an obsession with Chaos is nothing short of foreboding XD

“Kitten.” Gatito means “kitten.”

The thing to understand is what you’re seeing with NFTs is the decision-making process at all strata of society

...Am I the only one who thinks that helmet itself looks kind of like one of those terrible Bored Ape NFTs?

It doesn’t help at all that society stigmatizes all these things as personal failings.

Is it weird at all I have more respect for this guy than the assholes buying systems and reselling them at a huge markup?

i have seen the memes enough times that i parsed that image as Bobby Hill for a second

There was an article a while back that was eye-opening in this regard.

WAUGHMP WAUGHMP

...Did you just make a Homestar Runner reference in that headline?

Honestly, I’m going to wait until Early Access is over and the game launches on Steam (and console, maybe?) I liked the first, I can’t wait to experience what the second does differently, but my experience with Starbound makes me a bit leery of getting too heavily into Early Access titles.

It really is friggin’ funny to think it’s Microsoft with the ridiculously expensive storage now, when it was Sony in the past.
