Don’t worry, Chris Pratt is probably too expensive.

He started at Nintendo 1991, so more than 30 years.

It even says “A CALLEN PARODY” at the bottom

They can, but MGS2 is rated M as far as I can tell.

I think this kind of content warnings kind of makes sense for children’s television. But these are games primarily targeted towards adults. We’re able to form our own opinion.

Great to know they won’t remove magazine as a weapon

This community is called technology, not politics.

I mainly use Snapchat just to keep the pointless streaks going. Never seen an ad in Snapchat for years.

I wish I had another slot for NVME

1 TB NVME and 1 TB SSD SATA.

Might add another 2 TB SSD SATA in the future.

I watched almost the entire season before dropping out. Beautifully shot, but other than that I couldn’t care less about the characters.

I’m always confused about why Magic the Gathering has to be involved with politics.

I’m a bit concerned about the combat. Looks like they’re going for more spectacle over substance. He’s doing all the cool moves, but the enemies barely react from any of them. It doesn’t feel like every hit matters.

“That’s a good question, for another time”

That another time never happened. Sums up the sequel trilogy. Lots of setup, but no payoff.

Could’ve been made a fun joke if it was delivered with a proper setup and punchline. This is just an amusing observation without any interesting delivery.

Not sure the intention of emphasizing the words “used” and “these”. Doesn’t make the comic funnier the slightest.

I could just use 10 different URLs for each NFT. All pointing to the same image. I can also use 10 different wallets to obfuscate it more. For that matter, I can use different blockchains as well.

Now it’s 10 completely different NFTs pointing to the same image. To verify there are no duplicates, you need to check every NFT in existence (across all blockchains in existence).

And how do you verify that the NFT can be trusted? With any of the 3 methods you mentioned!

Blockchain doesn’t circumvent this need of trust.

The thing blockchain eliminates is the need of a timestamp authority when doing transactions. Satoshi even called his invention “distributed timestamp server” before people started to call it blockchain. You don’t need timestamps when verifying the authenticity of an NFT.

We’ve decided you’re only allowed to use Lynx from now on.

A tokenized security is the same thing as a tokenized jpeg. Blockchain has no control over what happens outside it.

I could create a token and say it refers to my Ferrari. Obviously I don’t own a Ferrari, but what can the blockchain do about it? To ensure the token is legitimate, some trusted authority must ensure the Ferrari really exists in the physical reality. Suddenly blockchain doesn’t “eliminate the need for accountants”.

And whenever I want to sell the token, someone must ensure I still own the Ferrari. Who knows, maybe I crashed the Ferrari somewhere in the forest?

Same goes for any asset - including carbon offsets, stocks and bonds. Blockchain is completely unable to say anything about the state of the physical reality.

We still beat the same tired old drums about NFTs because if it doesn’t work for jpegs, it doesn’t work for anything.
