| warlock7735 12/01/21 1:11:24 PM #1 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLdEhkgImSg From the soundtrack to Magic & Mayhem (1999), performed by afro celt sound system. The major sadness I have is that the current version I have of this doesn't have the original soundtrack intact, so it loses a huge amount of the ambiance in playing. --- |

Yeah, Dionysus special buff was the one I wanted going in since Hangover is the only stacking, damaging debuff, but Ares offered an epic boon really early on that I couldn't say no to. I meant Theseus is easy to dodge before he gets his boon, so kill asterius before bringing theseus to half --- |

Sometimes at the same time. Theseus is very easy to dodge unless you're using extreme measures 3. Killing the minotaur first means you get more room to maneuver when frat boy goes super saiyan. --- |

Dota is pretty well designed in terms of its depth of interaction, problem is that you have to learn all of those axes of interaction before you can understand how to appropriately play the game. Best started by learning with 4 friends or experienced players --- |
| Topic | more NFT stupidity to laugh at |
| warlock7735 11/14/21 12:44:04 PM #92 | DirectedVerdict posted... This is not about copy protection. It's about getting the perpetual royalties. You can hold up an audio recorder and record the audio, but that doesn't let you re-list that in the market and sell it as an NFT.You can be a boomer about new technology all you want, but this if the future of the music industry and more. Soon real estate will also be using NFTs. People will be able to buy a piece of real property as an NFT investment and collect a percentage of the profits every time the homeowner makes a mortgage payment. This is coming to real estate within the next 3-5 years. You can't have one without the other. The issue with nfts is they only mark possession/ trail, not ownership. Likewise, there's nothing preventing an individual from de-linking the asset marked by an nft and transacting it without the token, or simply minting a new one without the previous contract. Except in instances where the authenticity of something is a reason for its worth, most people don't care about who something is from or where profits go, they just want their product. It's why bootlegging and piracy exist. You can argue all you want about legality, but until you can enforce possession of a unique token to the use of media, and somehow pass that off as a benefit to the end user, this technology won't see adoption in the way you're envisioning. --- |

| warlock7735 11/12/21 7:38:49 PM #6 | OVERGOATED posted... I mean if you were interested there were a bunch of people in the last topic who were too... I haven't played DnD seriously since 3.5, and am not a huge fan of 4/5/6. Last game that I ran was shadowrun 4e, and some of the later SR books are just written like crap. OVERGOATED posted... I made one gauging interest a while a go (a few weeks), and someone was willing to DM and a few players (old and new) wanted to play. Ahh, gotcha. I don't really browse CE very often, so I probably missed it. --- |

| warlock7735 11/12/21 4:22:32 PM #80 | 1337toothbrush posted... As neat as those technical details are, they don't explain how it's like the internet. We already have methods of trust on the internet. The difference is the decentralization for blockchain, but again, decentralization by itself is really not a selling point.It is when you and your political ilk make a habit of getting banned from platforms for spreading disinformation and attempting to scam people. (Not referring to you, saying decentralization is important to people who are MY FREEZE PEACH types) --- |
| Topic | Reminder that move prioritisation in fighting games is bullshit. |
| warlock7735 11/12/21 1:14:57 PM #11 | Priority, if it exists, should be a property of frame data/hitboxes. Trading is a fine mechanic, especially when it results in double KOs. If you want a move to be "high priority" give it armor, or have it move the hurtbox back and give the front of the move a strike immune hurtbox. --- |

Everything was either 100% right or 100% wrongI didn't get that impression from him at all. I think @JKwaffle was around when we were playing DnD with mal. Honestly those were some good times. --- |

| Topic | more NFT stupidity to laugh at |
| warlock7735 11/11/21 12:07:38 PM #60 | Sad_Face posted... If you redeem a steam key, you can't trade it sell it off, no? Well that's the point of issuing an NFT, so you can play the game, then sell off or trade your rights to someone else. public class License{ public Guid ID {get;set;} public Game ReferencedGame {get;set;} public User CurrentOwner {get;set;} public DateTimeOffset acquisitionDate {get;set;} public bool Active {get;set;} } Throw together a method allowing resale, create a new GameLicenseLedger entry, modify the CurrentOwner, update the acquisitionDate, and Bob's your uncle. A license only works for a user if an active License contains that User as its CurrentOwner. This is all really basic stuff, thrown together with an ORM for simplicity's sake, but c'mon, if you want to resell, you can do it without any issue if the digital host wants to let you. --- |

| Topic | more NFT stupidity to laugh at |
| warlock7735 11/10/21 3:31:15 PM #51 | Sad_Face posted... There's absolutely nothing wrong with centralized data. We've been able to use GUIDs and PKs for data for a very long time, and there's virtually no need to put things like airline tickets or steam keys on a blockchain - those are on a central authority for a reason with API access. Again - blockchain is a solution looking for a problem. Eventual consistency is still a problem because there's nothing guaranteeing that the consuming client is able to validate/ensure it has an up to date ledger if you're attempting to decentralize your source of truth. --- |
| Topic | more NFT stupidity to laugh at |
| warlock7735 11/10/21 9:32:40 AM #44 | Sad_Face posted... Non fungible token. But let me backtrack to the "fungible" word. When it comes to money, money is generally fungible. You don't discriminate between which 20 US dollar bills are in your pocket. You just use them as you need them. However, things like airplane tickets, immunization records or vaccination cards, trading cards, they need to be nonfungible. You have to discriminate between them to maintain their value. Most of the issues with fungibility you're referencing are due to bad API design and event sourcing - to use your example of gamerscore- it's 100% fine if the individual points of your gamerscore are fungible. All's you need is an endpoint to get info about the events which are associated with X game. Likewise, who cares about the existence of an airline ticket, what you care about is the history of transaction events associated with an individual ticket. There's a decent amount of issues with that, but I promise you that NFTs are a solution looking for a problem, and most of the problem spaces being proposed have no benefit from non-fungibility. --- |

Put it through a behringer 100 watt amp. Used to play metal back in HS and college, kinda just stopped playing music one day. Inspired by Steve Harris from Iron Maiden, and by my brother. I'm sure I'm a total nooblord now tho. --- |
