In what sense is it soulless? I get that it is legless, and almost entirely user-generated and therefore amateurish, but soulless doesn’t seem accurate at all. One of the first worlds I went to was a user generated recreation of the store their grandparents owned when they were growing up. It had a lot of soul though…

There are issues with streaming but so far latency really hasn’t been one. And generally I am very sensitive to lag when playing.

This isn’t true. I have gamepass and do not have an xbox and don’t really play on pc all that much. Their streaming works very well and if they can get it on smart tvs and the like it could very much be a netflix of gaming in not very long at all.

What’s the NFT address?

Fuck Konami.

How is this an argument against the metaverse? If anything it is an argument against factory farming and drinking cow’s milk. Not making the cows lives better if people still are buying cow’s milk. These takes are getting lazier by the day.

what is that phone?

The target matters. The word used matters. The context matters. It all matters, not just that someone calls it a “slur”

If they offer ps5 games streamed to a ps4, with dualsense support, I’d definitely subscribe to this. I would love to not have to buy a new console. 

I mean, I think everything you are saying are valid criticisms of NFTs. I am not sure if they are issues that can or will be solved over time but I do know that no one else I have ever talked to is speaking about these sorts of issues as the problem with NFTs. They primarily are focused on the argument that NFTs in…

Plagiarism is copyright violation. You haven’t even addressed the core of what I am saying. Copyright is a failure for artists as it is actually used in the real world. Only companies and rarely successful individuals. So, what are you really even arguing? 

They help the artists more than the fine art market at the very least. The majority of money made off of fine art is made by the people who bought the artwork and then resell at a high price. The artist never sees any of that increase. With NFTs though, many allow percentage of shares to flow back to the artist and…

Ok I think understand all that and don’t think I have said anything that is in disagreement with it. Specifically, I am not saying that all artists should be compensated simply because they created a piece of art. I am saying that there are many artists who create art that thousands of people like and share online and…

Maybe if we had a central registry, where in you could report the creation of a work, and then have protection over the rights to a product and all it’s copies.. a copyright, as it were! Then you could choose to license out those rights, and in turn earn money for those rights.

We could even have a system for…

Like seriously I 100% agree. But none of these articles say that. Pretty much no-one in the many articles about blockchain and NFTs that kotaku publishes say the problem ultimately here is capitalism. Personally, I think that there should be no copyright at all and we should have UBI. The market as it stands does not…

I admit I am not well educated in economics but I do want to learn. Please point me in the right direction of what I should read. Why is this supply-side economics and why is proven bullshit?

This is all I have to say to people who want to dunk on stuff like NFTs. How do you propose we compensate artists for their work fairly? Because if your answer is the current system then you are full of shit. If you are making art that is easily copy-pasted capitalism says that it’s worthless. Nevermind thousands of…

Copyright doesn’t work for the majority of people. It only really works for the already powerful members of society. For at least as long as we continue with our garbage way of paying artists and others that create work that can be copied and distributed for basically nothing. They are creating tons of value and…

Thank you! This is exactly it. Pokemon needs to grow as a game and has not.

It drive me nuts that comments like this are what this commenting platform brings to the top. It is not a top voted comment. It simply has a bunch of people reacting because it’s such a bad take. The first comment has 3x the stars! The next top level comment has almost 5x. Why am I being surfaced this comment? It’s…
