Cool facts:

I was watching Star Trek the other day and was thinking about how in the show humanity has advaced to a post-scarcity, post-money society and how NFTs (and Crypto in general) is literally the exact opposite of that.

What “conservative values” are being demonized here? LGBTQ conversion therapy is a conservative value? Nobody’s mad because he wants low taxes.

I think the point is that as long as people like Lauren Boebert, Josh Hawley, Margery Taylor-Green, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan and Mitch McConnell keep getting elected, and you keep voting for the party that literally tried to overthrow a legitimate election, you’re part of that party. Until and unless the collective ‘right…

Are you suggesting that white conservative men don’t have enough representation?

The article specifically complains that the argument of the “no spoilers” crowd is that “Nintendo shouldn’t be scooped” and “reporting is different from spoiling”.

What value does announcing a game an hour or two really bring to the table?

If it was so great then why is no one, including Nintendo, still making this design today? You are making Luke’s point exactly. Try emulating any N64 game and use an Xbox or Dualshock controller; the flaws of the N64 controller will become apparent.

I held it from the middle prong from day 1 and it was still awkward, it’s really not that. 

You’re correct about the N64 controllers not failing.

“Perfectly comfortable, all buttons easily accessible. and with the best face button arrangement ever made.”
Have you held one recently? Because I have. The face button arrangement is a pain in the ass and it’s awkward ergonomically. You can certainly get used to it,…

The N64 controller looks even weirder in retrospect, now that we know how controllers all ended up, but I still maintain it was a perfectly logical evolution from the SNES controller, from people who couldn’t know much better.

Yes, because we all know that embracing fandom is far, far worse. Why work with your fanbase when you can just be litigious as hell?

Well, that has nothing to do with the performance of the CPU. They just don’t have TPM 2.0 which is now a requirement. I agree that it’s a weird restriction, but it’s something they’ve wanted to do since Windows 8 anyway and they probably just feel like now is the time.

On that ‘purpose’ of NFTs... well, it didn’t really start out like that, either. NFTs were a solution looking for a problem, that then claimed to have found one. Not one single part of the technology really does anything at all to solve what it claims to, it was just a bunch of the usual blockchain idiots finding a…

You don't own art with NFT.

The big scam is that there’s nothing inherent to the NFT which gives you any rights whatsoever. You are NOT buying artwork, you are buying a receipt that says you paid money for artwork.

Now, it is theoretically possible for artists to bundle licenses or rights transfer of some kind WITH their NFT, but there is…

NFTs, and cryptocurrency, are all the experience of 40+ years of escalating hyperspeculation, and a certain group of opportunists and idealists, sometimes both — very 1970s silicon valley — deciding to slam the gas pedal on it. The entire premise is rotten. I’m an artist and I don’t mind saying that I still look down…

Yeah, it’s really really wild. It was just a norm, especially in PC gaming, to get a significant add-on down the road for 30-40 dollars. Lots of studios made their name working on expansions. And now it’s just gone. Another example of the market often fucking the consumer over. There’s just too many psychopaths out…
