The thing is, you don't need an NFT to trade in an MMO, since all of it is centralized. That is why I used patents as an example. You can sell a patent, and it is not tied to any particular physical or digital item. BUT when you see someone using it, you can point to NFT and let the legal framework do the rest.

@LucoaMilkers @kev
Value of the NFT is supposed to come from its utility, scarcity and past owners.

Economics 101
Value comes either from utility or value as precieved by others. So, let's start from the simple part. Past owners.
If you saw a guitar, that at one point belonged to Elvis, it will gain value in your mind. fair enough. But would you honestly buy an NFT only couse at one point it belonged to someone? I would not, but there is "some" value there.

Scarcity... of what? Scarcity is made by more people wanting to buy shit then there are people willing to sell shit. That means, that if there comea a crysis or another shiny toy, the moment people loose interest, you IMMEDIATELLY loose the ability to sell your NFTs.

And utility... I might be dumb, but outside some serious dependency on legal framework, I see no utility in a single string being placed on some random site. As far as I'm consterned, it has same value as your name on a speedrunning board. It's neat I guess, but there is no reason to buy it, unless you realy care for tbe sake of seing your name.

@kev
I think there is a chance that NFTs could be used for patents or other things, where you want the owner of an idea, that anyone still can see and copy.

But when it comes to art? :alexjonessmile2:

Elden ring: A dark souls game...
Metroid: One of the old nintendo game series. It got seriously butchered while switching to 3D, so they learned from the fails and finally are returning to the formula. It also has the 2nd sexiest character under Nintendos control.

@rasterman
Oh no... I thought it was just a prequel...

Oooooh no. Well, I hope the game survives the GOT influence.

As far as I'm concerned, if the Direct only consisted of Metroid Dread's reveal, I was good. 😌👌 :metroid:

I think I might even shoot for 40s. Just to get the seriousness wibes, that are hard to get in the younder age. :ablobthinkingeyes:

Being on a plane can be rather boring and I didn’t have a good movie to watch, so my mind started to wander. Then I remembered that thread with @icedquinn and @realcaseyrollins (and maybe others, I don’t remember) where they discussed someone comparing dying from C00F to picking poisoned skittles out of a bag :comfythinkglare:

I know this metaphor is entirely incorrect for a great plethora of reasons, yet my brain came up with a bit related but different thought experiment :comfyeyes:

Imagine for a second, that after a scientific breakthrough the cure for aging was discovered. You are presented with a pill. If you take it, there is a 50% chance you stop aging and remain at your current condition, quite possibly for eternity. Accidents and diseases can still kill you, but other than that, you’re in for a long long ride.
The catch is, in the other 50% you die that instance and shit your pants in the process (just for lulz :comfyxdsweat:)

Would you take this pill? Disregard the possibility of more breakthroughs that can decrease this little negative side effect. You have to make this choice here and now.

While at this, what would be the maximum acceptable for you risk of instant death in a thought experiment like this? If you say zero, you are a pussy.

As always with fun stuff like this, boosting is welcome :comfythumbsup:

@newt @icedquinn @realcaseyrollins
First: i would sit on toalet before taking the pill (just to be safe)

Second: It might be worth waiting a few yers before I take the pill. 1st, because that way I lower the loss. 2nd because it's better to be an older immortal with ocassional muscule pain, then a youngie immortal that still does not have a hardened face.
