video games are kind of like if every 5 years you had to buy new glasses to look at the latest paintings in a museum. and then every 8 years they delete the paintings because they stopped making the old glasses. sometimes they repaint the paintings but the vibes are all off now

reduce inequality! but crypto is too high-risk to expose the poors to. ecofash is a fake idea! but anything that uses as much energy as bitcoin should be illegal. proprietary standards are evil! except for game objects, which belong in corporate silos. i am a leftist

funny story: when i took this screenshot, i thought the last step was failing because the test script was incomplete. but actually, the download folder really wasn't saving when edited manually, and now the bug is caught fixed :D
so far my understanding of the "artificial scarcity" critique is that it's bad/evil if used for nfts but okay if it's for video games, and the key difference is *mumble mumble*

Our data show that consumers routinely focus on the visual of the Pop-Tarts brand name, so we simplified the package design by removing "Kellogg's".

my punditry about cryptocurrency has mostly dissolved into complaining about common fallacies from amongst the discourse, but gg endorsing btc might actually be what it takes to finally convince me otherwise
