whoopsie daisy I helped the Russian again! what a series of unfortunate accidents.

don’t beekeepers use smoke or some such?

terrible analogy, but one can only hope. we don’t need the bullshit that comes with everyone using cars.

if you want to do it you can do it without nfts. clearly the airlines don’t deem it worth the effort. there’s no reason why you can’t make a system that easily transfers ownership. this is trying to find a problem for a solution.

but why would they want to do that if the intention is to overbook

way to miss the point. literally everyone knows that they overbook. that’s not because they’re not using nfts. it’s because they want to overbook. you said nfts would prevent overbooking. I say you can just prevent overbooking by not overbooking. it has nothing to do with nfts.

interesting, around here we do it with numbered seats. if you give each seat a specific number turns out you can match that with numbered tickets. somehow airlines don’t make tickets with numbers that don’t match with any seats. insane tech.

yeah if only the scammers could utilize the full potential of nfts lol

how many copies could they sell back then vs now? how much did it cost to make, stock and ship a physical copy worldwide vs being able to provide infinite copies everywhere only using the bandwidth when necessary?

no one’s asking for billions to be spent on games. companies being horribly managed by businessman who have no idea how games work or what’s important in a game, forcing i live service bullshit, chasing trends, making big empty worlds full of pointless busywork does not mean the games should cost 80 dollars.

ninja theory already proved you can make an insanely good looking game with a tiny budget and sell it for 30 bucks and turn a profit. meanwhile the biggest companies including ones owned by evil billionaires can easily shit out concord and starfields wasting years and millions on steaming turds.

also things haven’t only become more expensive. they’ve become cheaper too. there are more tools, better hardware and software for cheaper if not free that allows people to do more than ever before with less than ever before. the indie scene is 1000x more powerful today than it was back then for this reason.

and you’re talking about polygon tomb raider while these companies are trying to sell you recolored skins for 10 bucks even though it took an unpaid intern about 45 seconds to use a color swap on a 2d texture.

it’s a meter that says it’s only fair if you criticize the party that wants you to have some healthcare and the party that wants to blackbag random people to send them to torture prisons equally.

this dude and his son monitor each other’s devices to make sure they don’t consume porn. i don’t think he should be allowed to talk about literally anyone else’s habits.

no. they don’t even make physical media anymore. the cost is lowered on each copy. they ask for a ton of extra payments. they can suck shit and die. games can be 30 bucks and still stay profitable. the games industry makes more money than Hollywood. stop defending them while they’re trying to pluck your last dime.

this is textbook fallacy fallacy

it’s not actually. there’s barely an intermediate step between what’s happening now and what I’m suggesting it will lead to.

this is not “if we allow gay marriage people will start marrying goats”. it’s “if this company is allowed to cut corners here they’ll be cutting corners in other places”. that’s not a slope; it’s literally the next step.

slippery slope fallacy doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to connect A to B.

using AI in a nuclear plant at Diablo Canyon… it’s so on the nose you’d say it’s lazy writing if it were part of the backstory of some scifi novel.

to people who say it’s just paperwork or whatever it doesn’t matter: this is how it begins. they’ll save a couple cents here and there and they’ll want to expand this.

fucking fashionistas

it went wrong when he asked a question and answered with probably.

it would instead go straight to THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO BASH AMERICAN CITIZENS or something

there’s no room for questions or probabilities in fascism, things need to be certain, binary, simple, and scary.

it’s just people with no skills and all resentment.

yeah I got angry just looking at it
