    Chat GPT AI

    There's like a million different ways to do this, like saying "it's just for satire." Also why is that guy tagging Elmo aside from the fact that he's a sycophantic cocksucker? Lastly, he's basically flat out admitting you'd have to live in an alternate universe to sincerely believe in any of that.

    Terrible & appealing invention ideas

    30+ years ago, someone my dad once worked with had the idea for corndogs made with clam cake/clam fritter batter. He wanted to call them Sea Weenies. It was a horrible idea then but I bet it would make for the perfect food truck idea today.

    Citation needed. Saying "this is what happens when you let exchanges act as unregulated investment banks" is not screeching for regulation.

    My current employer matches 35% of contributions up to 10% of your salary, not the bullshit 50% of the first 4% or 6% of your pay like most other companies I know do. So, for anyone making over 70k a year, maxing nets you an extra 7.x K a year in pay, or like 8k next year. Makes up for fairly...

    The big question for me is whether I should frontload my 401k contributions next year. I have plenty of cash to max out my ROTH and HSA immediately and still put 50%+ of my pay into my 401k for the first few months of the year.

    MTGO has a regular buy/sell/trade card economy just like cardboard, MTGA has no trading. It can't be the only one. I realize that most are based around the shitty Hearthstone economy right now, but I know some had trading. Didn't Artifact have trading cards? The game just sucked?

    There's some real bullshit DRM out there, but that's about the only thing I can think of that matches his description. Video games are cheap as fuck in inflation-adjusted dollars. Most SNES games were $59.99 or $69.99 and a few were $79.99... in early 90s dollars, and most SNES games that...

    At the current time, an NFT is a verifiable pointer to an object, just like any object on your account in any online game. An NFT Sword of Goblinslaying is a pointer in the same way that a regular RPG Sword of Goblinslaying in your character's inventory is a pointer to Sword of Goblinslaying...

    (I'm going to use the term "NFT" below very loosely, a stand-in for a future implementation of secure, verifiable, tradable digital objects that's significantly better than the implementation associated with NFTs we have now.) You could make NFT-based games where you can buy/sell/trade the...

    I don't like the mobile gaming space either but "I don't like it, therefore ban it" sure is capital D Democrat thinking. The slippery slope argument still stands, once you empower any federal agency with regulating any aspect of video games, it won't be long before they're regulating all...

    The real issue is that it would be very hard to write legislation that affects COD and Fortnite skins but doesn't also make running a digital TCG effectively illegal and doesn't stifle innovation with regards to any existing games or future games with digital objects that have real-world value.
