Re: Random: Dev Launches Attack On NFTs At An NFT-Sponsored Event

@Ironcore I don't see how it really compares to email. A letter went from taking days to send, to less than a second to send, easier to organize, easier to search, easier to store.

What part of crypto really revolutionizes anything that much? Sending money across borders is easier and quicker sure (though for your average person, this doesn't matter at all), but that's about the only thing I can possibly think of that is anywhere comparable.

I've researched the topic. I've invested in crypto, I've read a book or two on the topic. I think when you get the point of claiming it's going to be the new profound next step you really have to have something to back that up though because all research I've done doesn't really point there when you leave the small area of the cryptosphere.

@Ironcore i'm not really sure if that will be the case of not. Seems like if you have an NFT being used in the background in most cases, it's just the same thing as what we have now if you're talking about tickets or something.

That's the crux of the problem with web3 to me really. It's taking everything we do and somehow it sounds like it's all worse, all tied to money or tokens or more complicated ways of doing things under the guise of like unbanking people or decentralizing things that don't always need that.

What incentive do companies have outside of trying to maybe seem like they're keeping up with the times, or something.

@Ironcore The more I got into crypto the more I was skeptical of it. It's so easy to have money in some project and think "WOW THIS SHOULD BE THE NEXT BIG THING" but once you don't have money in it, and you think a bit more clearly you realize that 99.9% of projects are creating a solution that nobody needs.

That's not to say that at least bitcoin and ethereum are interesting projects with some applications. Just like almost everything else is solving some non-existant problem or trying to carbon copy those two and claim they're better.

Re: Feature: 14 Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Still Love To See

@Astral-Grain yeah i think it all comes down to how much work the developers are willing to do to get it working. We've seen really good looking games like witcher, dying light, and hellblade (most of which I think have higher min requirements on PC than dark souls 3).

Alot is possible. I hate when people say "SWITCH CAN'T RUN IT" it's been proved wrong time and time again, just depends on the sacrifices and work needed.

Re: Playtonic's Original Yooka-Laylee Game Is Getting A Follow-Up Title

I know Yooka was mixed but they did a ton that they set out to do. I started it on and off, and I think the worst part was how easy it was to get stuck at some points or lost on what I was supposed to do next.

I'm really excited for what's next. So many elements in the first and the impossible lair are so so so good and just need some better execution. I really really loved the humor and the art style.
