Ehhhhh...the Ouya was a dumb idea, designed by marketing execs and mismanaged from the ground up, but 1. it wasn’t literally predicated on a scam and 2. it actually shipped, it actually had hardware, you got a little Android box they encouraged you to root and fuck around with freely

No one who shills blockchain fucking UNDERSTANDS blockchain

I mean the Ouya was a dramatically misconceived catastrophe of a platform, but in the end it was still a functioning Android box, and you could swap out the controller with something that had actual START AND SELECT BUTTONS.

Since always! It’s their shtick! They know nothing about these games, they just have a vague impression it’s always been for and about their pathetic white asses!

For whatever it’s worth, that was precisely the mental image I was hoping to instill.

Dude’s mad because he saw BROWN PEOPLE in it.

Now I’m picturing a a sequence cutting straight from Juan agreeing to train Guybrush as a luchador to Guybrush confronting LeChuck some time after, donning a monkey-themed luchador mask, and suplexing the ghost-zombie-demon daylights outta him.

The problem with Broken Age is that Act 1 was brilliant and Act 2 was merely...okay. Also, the payoff for that gloriously “WTF?” twist at the end of Act 1 was brutally unsatisfying.

Well that’s the thing, there’s only so much they can offload onto the blockchain

On the one hand: yes, corporations are soulless entities whose allyship is entirely performative; their interests are always going to line up with conservative politics, i.e. white Christian hegemony

I actually disagree - these are all things that right-wingers are proud of!

See, it’s only “politics” when it makes right-wingers uncomfortable.

NFTs literally offer nothing of value. The technology is beyond worthless; it’s actively harmful. There is nothing - nothing - that you can do with NFTs that can’t be done better with other, less destructive, less wasteful technologies.

Except there’s literally nothing that NFTs offer that can’t be done with existing, less wasteful technology.

Except that all of these things can be done without NFTs!

Tell us, then. Tell us what NFTs are good for.

If Elon Musk walked up to you with a gun, made you get down on your knees, peed on you, and then walked off with your wallet in hand, the man would likely never even see the inside of a courtroom. There would be people online breathlessly insisting Elon had done you an HONOR by mugging and pissing on you.

Gen 2 was a thing!...in Japan.
