Don't know- might have at some point, but it wouldn't have been under this name. You might have just seen my name around these forums. I've had the same handle with the same avatar since 04.

Agree 100%. As a player I love finding loopholes taking advantage of loose mechanics to create badass characters. And it pisses me off when a GM doesn't know how to handle it in an organic way and imposes some bullshit heavy-handed exception to the rules just to thwart me. On the other hand, if...

It's not really a problem though. Not any more than any other spell or ability is a problem. In that regard, everything in an RPG is a "problem" and how you solve the problem is the fun part. There are definitely some spells, features, abilities that can break a game because they are so...

I think D&D 5th is a great system for beginners and players who want to focus more on RPing than tactics/number crunchy stuff, but I have yet to find a fantasy system that was a good combination of: 1. Skill based and classless 2. Easy to learn 3. Easy to play 4. Significant "crunchiness" in...

Sounds like your grudge is with 5e. All I was saying is that there has been some version of flying in just about every version of d&d since first edition.

The team is Indian

I have similar questions. Im personally convinced that it is a super useful project with a bright future, regardless of ETH 2.0. BUT there is no doubt that it's a speculative and risky investment. But honestly I don't think it's any more risky than something like Solana (I'd actually argue...

I have yet to read anything that makes me concerned about my sizable MATIC investment. But you know, not investment advice, DYOR, etc etc

Flying has been around in DnD forever and poses some unique challenges for a GM, but it's not new and it's not that hard to deal with if you are a creative GM.

I actually don't disagree with you that it will be new innovators who start this trend (rather than the current big players). But the reason EA would want to do this is because, after another company starts the trend, they will be forced to get on board whether they like it or not. That's the...

Sure, this seems like a pretty natural progression for using NFTs in games, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in the very near future. It will probably start with big game companies forming metaverses for just their own titles. I.e. you can transfer items/in game money from any EA...

I'd say "well, that's all you get for $100," but apparently that's all you get for $100,000 too...

Not surprising. It's definitely going to be an emerging area of law though. Young lawyers smart enough to focus on that area of IP work aren't going to lack for clients and the near future I'd imagine.

I think your question is less about NFTs and more about copyright laws. There are already comparable examples that exist for your scenario. NFTs don't really add any new elements into the equation that can't be addressed with existing laws. Scenario 1- You own "The Old Guitarist," an original...

Anyone try the "crypto cash back" cards? I'm looking at a 3%/2%/1% back offer from Venmo. You get the cash back in the crypto of your choice (basically ETH or BTC) and it comes with zero transaction fees. I wouldn't ordinarily buy my crypto on Venmo, but 3% cash back in ETH or BTC for doing...

This needs to happen ASAP. The current system is fucked.

Shit man, you won't find me disagreeing with any of this. It's not even controversial really. We have thousands of years of human history and hundreds of examples of the rich and powerful gatekeeping knowledge from the rest of society. It wasn't too long ago you could get executed for having...

Yeah, that's kind of what I mean. Lots of people get the concepts, but not a lot of people have put much thought into the consequences. I think it's one of the least talked about but most important elements of the crypto paradigm shift. You can say I've got a tinfoil hat if you want, but I...

Now you're beginning to get it. How to monetize the internet has always been an issue since the beginning of the internet. This is built in Internet monetization.

This is true... If you ignore all the other evidence that Visa has given that they are pro ethereum and pro defi.

It IS a purely speculative bet on a future use case. And that answers your question as to why it means more than just being a boon for cryptopunk values. It's a further indication that Visa sees DeFi and Ethereum as having a huge role in the future of finance. Read their tweet- they see their...

Jesus, Visa just bought a cryptopunk lol.

I guess you could look at gold if you thought we were going to get a true black swan event, in which stocks and crypto both crash and we get hit with USD inflation at the same time. Edit: Also, from reddit- Your daily dose of Crypto The total market cap has risen 2.7% in the last 24 hours and...

If you are thinking about a stock market crash, being out of equities and into cash isn't a bad position. Gives you lots of dry powder to swoop in and buy the dip in a Black swan situation

Add me to the list of people looking for this too

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/facebook-presses-ahead-with-crypto-initiative-in-bold-move-to-fix-broken-payment-system-203559834.html Anyone who still thinks that crypto isn't going to "happen" is delusional or in denial.

No such thing as a GM cheating. Can't break the rules when you are the one making them up as you go :emoji_grin:

VET up 25ish percent in the last 5 days. Need more news like this and I bet we see a dollar by year's end: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vechain-targeting-multi-billion-dollar-001000464.html

According to conventional wisdom, yes there is one more big dip coming up before the "spring". The biggest dip of them all if you believe we have been in an accumulation phase. Again, this is assuming you believe in Wyckoff.

Certainly happy to see MATIC up so much (it's my second biggest holding) but it's kind of strange that the poly hack that literally just happened seems to have zero effect on its price. Stuff like that just further convinces me we retail investors are totally clueless about the actual forces...

But why would you.... Nevermind.

Bullshit lol

Nah, actual ETH people have acknowledged for a while now that 1559 wasn't going to do much to lower fees. The primary objective was to initiate ETH burn and lay the foundation for future updates that WILL eventually lower fees. Most people expect some fee stabilization from 1559 though. I.e...

Love it or hate it, it's pretty clear crypto is happening. Those who don't embrace it are going to be left behind. That includes the US

This has been the general reaction from the ETH crowd:

Reading the article, it seems like there are some work arounds even if the amendment passes, which is no sure thing. Looks like we have some BTC Maxis in the Senate lol. Or at least the BTC folks are better at lobbying and are using their political capital to try and kill ETH. That's actually...

Creeping towards 3k ETH...

That's not what he's saying lol. He says based on his "studying," he found there was a lot of "hype" in the crypto market but their was real value to BTC, distributed ledger tech, etc. That's a far cry from saying BTC is the only real innovation, or whatever nonsense that tweet suggests...

Ok Yes, this is what everyone in this thread (or at least 90% of us) told you would happen.

Posted June 10 Took literally the entire month of July for this to come true, but here we are...
