Exactly. That's why it's so pointless.

So glad to see another one of your posts! Encountering these in my feed is like stumbling upon an oasis of casual fun in a vast desert of bleak chaos. Always a pleasure!

I thought you might like to know that your earlier posts inspired me to take my Steam Deck to the next level. I got Heroic Launcher set up and used it to play Art of Rally (purchased on GOG). Both were good suggestions, so thanks! (But in my case, Art of Rally should probably be called "Fishtail Simulator") I was also pleasantly surprised that it was able to run the original Wing Commander on the first try, but getting the controls fully mapped and comprehensible seems like a larger undertaking...

Since you asked about games being played: I'm jumping around between stuff a lot lately, but some notable and enjoyable highlights include For the King 2, Guns of Icarus Alliance, The Cosmic Wheel: Sisterhood, and Hexagod.

Well, that's the point. In order for that system to work as described, you would need some kind of centralized authority to validate and enforce it. Once you've introduced that piece, there's no point using NFTs anymore - you can just use any kind of simpler and more efficient key/authentication mechanism.

So even if the corporations wanted to use such a system (which, to your point, they do not), it still wouldn't make sense to use NFTs for it.

Also ridiculous patent trolling.

Well said. On top of all that, he is the President of the United States of America engaging in that position's role as leading representative in the country's interactions on the global stage. Like it or not, that makes his arrogance American arrogance.

Thankfully, this is satire.

For now...

That explains why you wouldn't be able to see world from beehaw. But world is still federated with beehaw, so you should still be able to see beehaw from world, right?

Of course, you wouldn't be able to interact with anyone there, since they wouldn't see your posts/comments.

And on top of all that, patent trolling to hamstring any competition. I'm done encouraging their nonsense with my money.

Kind of telling that he doesn't even provide an example of anything positive, but a negative example was easy to find.

I assumed we were talking about Musk.

That would require not being blinded by his own ego.
