Bruh what the hell is this.

Yeah my bad, I was thinking of another one, this is new to me. Thanks for sharing.

To be specific, he wore an outfit and squatted in the style of a slav squat for Halloween in 2017, which was a popular meme at the time. Yes, there was a pepe slav squat meme. But if you look at the hat he’s wearing, it will match the hats worn by slav squat and not the pepe meme, which I think was actually a hoodie

EDIT: i guess I was thinking of a Halloween costume from another year

Chargie boys.

Yup, I don’t have an entire solution, just wanted to share a potential piece of the puzzle. I could’ve made that more clear as you pointed out

Generally, on Lemmy if I get a single downvote within seconds of a negative reply it gives me the impression that whoever I’m talking to us an emotionally stunted toddler who can’t use their words to adequately describe their thoughts and need to do the digital version of throwing a fit. It gives some additional context on how to engage (or not) lol.

I was addressing this part of what you said:

Even if you have a vast collection of music you don’t know (by whatever means your get it), you still need the algorithms to pick the music that you’re likely to like.

EDIT: also, fwiw, I didn’t downvote you lol.

I believe plexamp will scan your library and will make the discovery-type playlist you’re looking for

Unfortunately I have no clue - my wife’s the one that uses this, not me haha.

Solidworks is probably the Cisco of cad software, and a license for casual home use is only 48/year

I haven’t played the game before either - I just know that for once folks can own a digital aspect of a game independent of the creators of the game, which I think is notable and qualifies as a “legitimate use of Blockchain”.

That’s real neat re: MTGOexchange! I played in the past and knew about card redemption, I didn’t know about drugs lmao

And is “releasing it on consoles” not a monetization scheme? If they didn’t give it away from free, they…sold it for money, which means it’s a monetization scheme.

What’s worse is that on consoles it’s simply a digital copy of a file being made - at least arcades needed maintenance, justifying an ongoing cost. Arguably your example of games being released on consoles is an even worse example of artificial scarcity - why should they charge for a digital copy of a game that costs them nothing to copy? Is that not a textbook example of “artificial scarcity”?

Except microtransactions are much worse because they do not enable a secondary economy like arcades did.

Are we in agreement that digital cards as NFTs does enable a secondary market, especially when compared to digital cards not associated with NFTs?

Or did removing the monetization when they released it on consoles

monetization, verb: to utilize (something of value) as a source of profit

Did they release that shit for free or something? Are you claiming “they” released dozens of versions of it after “they” stopped using the game as a source of profit?

It sounds like your issues are with that of games in general, which is outside of the scope of this discussion, so I don’t have much to say in response. Hope you have a good day!

If wotc closes down modo, you’re left SOL.

Because transactions and ownership are not controlled by the hosting company, I believe there’s opportunity to keep the game going even after the company closes doors.

Long shot, but it’s the first peek at “digital ownership” where you actually own something, independent of the company that gave it to you, they can easily be traded.

Before we start blaming a digital trading card game for the sins of capitalism, let’s both acknowledge that “artificial scarcity” is built into games. Mario suffered “artificial scarcity” when he didn’t have a red mushroom at the ready. Anything that requires “unlocking” can be argued to be artifical scarcity. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter because these are aspects of a game and not real world resources.

Every digital TCG - Hearthstone, mtg arena, etc. all already have artificial scarcity.

This is just allowing for you, as a player, to actually have a semblance of ownership over the digital goods you obtain, independent of the company you purchased it from, which is far more than any other digital platform will allow for.

Not sure what that is, searching doesn’t help

Gods unchained is a digital TCG that is the only good use of NFTs (and thus Blockchain) that I can think of.

The idea of NFTs is you have a specific instance of a thing that you can trade around. NFT art is stupid, because at the end of the day it’s a jpg. However, with a digital TCG, each NFT can represent a singular copy of a digital trading card. It brings back the “trading” aspect of a digital TCG, made more convenient than physical cards due to digital transfers.
