WoW is a good fastfood if you just want to be showered in those purples while doing those scripted fights. But as you say here, it matches the all usual trend that Wow has large incoming of subs at the start of an expansion, then player realizes it’s not putting much effort into being fun outside of raids and maybe PvP, they hop off and never come back until the next one.
This is the big miss. When you bank all the fun on Dungeons and Raids, they overlook that these kind of things are also a driving force… Well then again nobody would want retail to be more vanilla like. “Being -forced- to cooperate with others? Not for me.” for something as minor as a quest is already asking too much.
As a theatre major, trust me, there are weirder concepts. All theatre is adaption in some form; Cats is made from an assortment of seemingly unrelated T.S Elliot poems, whilst Hamilton is based on a fairly unremarkable founding father. Princess Diana The Musical isn’t as weird a concept as you’d think.
There’s musicals about far more obscure figures than Dutch footballers. “Assassins” is a Stephen Sondheim musical only about the assassins who failed to kill US presidents throughout history, most fading into complete obscurity besides the majors.
Hadn’t heard of Johan til googling him, though, true.
It stands for “Non-Fungible Token” and its pretty much all a big pyramid scheme cult thing going on. It also consumes more than our whole life times worth of energy per token created.
It’s a huge mess and honestly wish it would be shut down among all the other crypto bs going on.
I would be a lot more cool with cryptocurrency if it didn’t consume more energy than some countries, contributing to climate change and generally wasting electricity.
…Plus, you know, inflating the price of computer parts and reducing their availability.
Cryptominers are also the reason I won’t buy a used rig or used parts as well, even if it would be in good shape I just won’t run the risk as cryptomining wears the cards like no tomorrow.
I mean same, but sometimes you can get a barely used rig for a decent price. A friend of mine bought all his rigs used, but he stopped after crypto became a thing.
Next time I have to upgrade my current rig I’ll just buy the parts and assemble on my own, now that I read more into building a rig.
My “favourite” part about NFTs is that you’re not even buying the art. You’re, essentially, buying a URL that links to a picture of the art.
But you’re not hosting the URL. Meaning it can be taken down by the host at any time.
Something that has already happened in some cases. You can spend big bucks on these dumb things only to watch it literally turn into nothing. Less than nothing.
It’s all dumb. It’s all a stupid pyramid scheme that’s incredibly wasteful and the only reason it exists is so some people can try to milk money from other people for nothing at a huge cost to the planet.
Not that I really expect anyone here is buying into the NFT scamola but if they are: Spend your money commissioning art that you actually have the rights to, like god damn.
Can I print and frame this bc if you want your artists to keep giving your that good art then you gotta support them.
Kofi, patreon, commisions, hell signal boosting all is better than dumb pyramid schemes.
