Are you excited for blockchain gaming-- PPPFFFFFFTTT HAHAHAHA
Can't wait to farm anal fistules in furry ass gape anthology so I can upgrade my plumbing toolkit in Mario happy bouncing time.
>>739724685>5% drop chance>only been farmed enough for 4 to existit's funny the ways these retards reveal themselves as though they can't imagine some gamer grinding the same enemy over and over for an item that has a less than 1% drop chance
>>739725193It only works if lets say, that "level 128 frost giant" only spawns once every week or something and there would have to be very few "servers" to maintain such ass numbers of the rare drop.
people get mad at AI, but forget how much worse the world used to be when 'NFTs' and blockchain were the big obsessions
>>739726023the world was in a much better place back then actually
>>739726023No one actually believed any of the crypto-bros bullshit but fucking with them was fun.
>>739724685Picrel reads incredibly cringe. That's why I keep vidya discussions out of real life.
>>739726023Yeah worse for faggots that actually fell for it. I kinda understand AI defenders even if AI is shit and will be for the foreseeable future but NFTs were "bruh what the fuck are you doing" tier comedy platinum.The mental gymnastics people shat to justify it deserve a museum of their own. It was a great time if you had more than 2 braincells.
>>739724685Web3 got memory holed so fast
>>739726023Bullshit. No one believed tech bros for those things. AI is the jeet-ridden future where everyone has bought into the grift wholesale.
>>739726023No, and most people obsessed with AI have at least few of these retarded monkeys.
By the way, if you look this "Nicolas Vereecke" fag up he's abandoned Blockchain/NFTs and is now constantly shilling AI. These talentless retards just chase after every get rich quick scheme. If I had to guess what he was doing before blockchain, probably affiliate marketing or dropshipping.
>>739726023It's just another tech industry scam, they are the same shit
>>739724685This guy is an AI investor now, they all just move on like locusts.
>>739726023you can't be serious, things have only gone downhill
>>739726452MLM no doubt, it's all referral ponzis at the core, no matter what it's dressed up as
>>739724685Its unreal how someone can look at this and think "yeah that sounds appealing."
>>739724685no point with "international law" in place
>>739726023it is the same exact grift but with more of the media thrown behind it the goal is to get people to prioritize digital goods above material ones or unrenewable ones (like time)
>>739726023Those were equally as bad and in fact if you did a venn diagram of the people that shilled those and those who shill ai it would be a circle.
>>739726023The difference is that you need to be <90 IQ to believe in NFT while some people in the 110-115 range believe in AI
>>739724685>You'll be able to use your assets across unrelated games! This is literally, LITERALLY the pitch for Ethereum except for some reason it never involved AI back thenAnd once again as a software developer I remind people the only way that could work is a fuckass hueg framework all games would need to integrate and trust. Crypto won't change that and neither will AI.
>>739724685I am, thanks to you
>>739724685>5% drop>LowThat shit would be everywhere by the end of next week.
>>739724685Blockchain is possibly the worst way to accomplish this. It's better to host an API that handles cross-game inventory checking and manipulation. Steam's inventory is like 99% of the way there and they don't do the last 1% for a reason.Archipelago and Multiworld are better for the spirit of this, though. My Mario 64 star gets a Dark Soul player their Lordvessel (or some trash given that game's item pool) so they can stop complaining and grab some levels for the Kingdom Hearts player
>>739724685>make a shit asset flip game where you can farm the super duper rare dildo an infinite amount>sell the nft dildo>profit
>>739724685>grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind>"isn't this FUN, fellow gaymers???!?!!!?? don't you LIKE playing games as you would a second job?!"why do these kinds of """people""" think that dull, mindless repetitive MMO grinds are "fun" in the slightestt. friend got me into runeshite and the mid-game grind makes me want to kill myself
I remember when my brother was insisting that NFTs were going to be "the future of gaming"
>>739728475they're fun in the same way that JRPGs are fun: you can grind and watch number go up
>>739726023nobody gave a shit about thoseai is actually in fucking everything now
>>739724685>5% drop chance>only 4 in existenceAlways make me smile
Forever lmaoing my ass off at NFTfags.
>>739729180This is the guy who created the branding for Onions. I am serious. >In 2018, Ripps, in collaboration with photographer Maggie West, exhibited Pornhub Nation, a large interactive installation sponsored by Pornhub. The exhibition depicts a future history of the porn site's own government. >In February 2021, Ripps and American rapper Azealia Banks announced their engagement. They made an audio sex tape and sold it as a non-fungible token (NFT). By March, Banks announced they had split up.He also got sued by the Bored Ape guys, lost, and owes them 1.5 million dollars. He's also lying about the Buffalo Wild Wings story, he's some rich faggot artist who lives in LA.
>>739726023Nice bait
>>739729632omg this guy is truly avantgarde but in a weird way
>>739726023Those were obviously bullshit, but they weren't forced down my throat the way AI is and went away relatively quickly.
>>739729180>Just a picture of a monkey that cost me a houseThat last line really sells the despair kek
>>739731308The story is fake, Ryder Ripps is a multimillionaire graphic design artist from LA.
>>739729180>Ape HandshakeIf you read past this point without realizing it's a troll you're fucking retarded
>>739724685cope the future is E = mc2 + AI
>>739726023>walking by and laughing at people playing in shit>now the shit is everywhere and you can't go a single day without stepping in it
>>739724685This reads like the most dystopian shit not even the devil himself could come up with, but he apparently thinks this is something desirable.How come christcuck larpers never point at those people when they talk about things being "demonic", but at some random gay nigga or anime bitches with big titties in video games?
>>739729180The funny thing is that most of those high sales were spoofed and only a few people actually fell for it like Eminem and snoop dogg
>>739731392>Ryder Ripps is a multimillionaire graphic design artist from LA.So? A trendchasing rich faggot losing 400K is still a trendchasing faggot losing 400K
>>739731710It's not demonic, it's anarchic. Blockchain gaming ignores the most important obstacle there is, which is copyright. If there is a currency that somehow bypasses the entire concept of intellectual property, then intellectual property no longer matters, and you can just use whatever currency you want, no matter what corporation owns the product you're playing. It's complete anarchy.
>>739731970>you can just use whatever currency you want, no matter what corporation owns the product you're playing.This is unironically a GOOD thing though, and was their biggest selling point: independence from external interference.
>>739726023Stupid take.NFTs were an obvious scam to most people, so nobody in actual power put any resources into them.AI is far worse because it's still a grift but is ubiquitous.Imagine if every time you turned your phone on it asked if you want to enable NFT mode?>Go to work as a structural engineer doing calcs for bridges>Boss asks how many NFTs you've exchanged today>Read news>3/4 articles are about how NFTs are the future. "Have you pivoted to the NFT economy yet?">Mother rings you>Explains your uncle is in hospital because he traded his prescription meds for NFTs, but it's ok because she's found a guy who is talking her through some exciting potential NFT options that will allow him to afford the hospital trip>Politician has to give a press conference to explain why the economy is so shit recently>"Don't worry, the recent food shortages will be compensated by increased access to NFTs. In fact, we're going to be diverting emergency funds from hospitals into giving low-interest-rate loans for children to buy enough NFTs so they can afford to eat!">All the journalists clap and nod in approval
>>739724685wait a minute, that's not gaming, that's work!
The idea the guy in the OP is expressing is fundamentally sound, he's just describing it in a cringe way that sounded way better in his head. The idea of inter-operability of items between games (and companies) is something that people have talked about for years, include Gabe and Tim Sweeney, and blockchains are one way to tackle it (but not required).
I still don't even know what the blockchain was supposed to be
>>739728475The fun is when you eventually get your gear and with this new gear you can face the LV 128 dragon with your party
>>739732409a blockchain is just a decentralized ledger. basically nobody can change it, you can only add transactions on to it and governments can’t control it. it has built in scarcity which is something you normally don’t associate with digital things
>>739724685Yeah yeah, laugh while you can, S&ndbox will prove you wrong and-OH NO NO NO DON'T LOOK GARRY
>>739732267>AI is far worse because it's still a grift but is ubiquitous.Yeah just like that damn in-ter-net. It'll never happen. What a grift!
>>739732631>play fallout for 5 minutes>digi-transfer my guns to yandere sim>shoot up the school, unlocking new female prisoners for my guilds pokemon runthis is the future of chain gaming
>>739726452If it's anything, the pipeline probably went from some shitty low effort marketing position, then it was bitcoin, then it was blockchain and NFTs, now it's AI.
>>739732674Are you a youngfag? The dotcom bubble bursting was basically a genocide, we've never recovered. The economy is a fucking scam precisely because of the dotcom bubble fucking exploding and raping the global economy, leading into the great recession and out-of-control global inflation.
>>739726023cryptotards desperately trying to not be the one holding the bag as they attempted to scam each other was hilarious and hurt nobody who wasn't retarded though. AI on the other hand is driving up the price of literally fucking everything as a consequence of it existing, all so we can have a chatbot that can't do math.
>>739726023crypto never directly lowered my quality of life like AI has in multiple ways
>>739724685>MMO's>guilds among school friendsbro that shit is OVER, maybe would have been nice 20 years ago but modern gaming is ether streamers playing the game and you are just watching, or F2P cosmetic slop
>>739726023The thing is, AI is here to stay. The longer ignorant masses stay unaware of what is happening, the better.
>>739724685>5% drop chance>only 4 existUnless this shit "game" is brand new and the fucking monster is ludicrously hard on top of being stupidly rare to appear, what kinda bullshit is this guy huffing?A 1/20 would be laughed to hell and back by RS players who commonly grind out 1/1000 or worse drop rates, often times on gimped ass accounts that can maybe get 5 kills an hour.
>>739735547In some capacity, sure. For specialised fields where it's actually useful. But the current "forcing it down everyone's throats" period where it's shoehorned into everything, no matter how useless, is bound to be over some day.
>>739729180that entire post was written by AI, which maybe means something>>739732335>>739732335yeah conceptually it's pretty cool, and something like roblox has the potential to actually implement it, being essentially a centralized ecosystem of games
>>739726023Nobody cared about NFT blockchain games. Probably nobody here could even name 3 NFT games, these games probably at most had like a dozen thirdworlders farming all day hoping to earn like $20 a day because it's better than getting a real job where they're from.
>>739732335What stops me from making a "game" that hands out billions of Uber Rare Anal Bead Crystals to myself?What stops me from making a "game" that steals the entire inventory of everyone who logs in?The concept of blockchain linked worlds is that you can have goods that are universal between games without needing a central authority to manage them? Without a central authority to manage them the digital goods are literally worthless
>>739724685Up until the last line I thought this was a parody
2 issues there.first, if one of those games stops, the economy is fucked. second, just because the items are in the blockhain doesnt prevent any chinese company to appear, offer the same items for real money or extremelly easy to bot game loops, and also ruin your economy.
>>739731710It was on linkedin. Not many people bother to rummage around there like they do twitter and reddit.>>739724685>tfw this nigger's current employer listed as EvilPlan Inc, an "AI-Native Entertainment Factory for World Domination (and Pizza)"From blockchain right to AI, of course.
>>739732335>>739736857Not it sounds absolutely awful, what the fuck are you guys on. Omni games are a terrible idea and if you think grinding two weeks for a single item sounds like a fun time I don't know what to tell you.
>>739732674is that non-sequitur meant to mean something?
>>739724685> You can mine 30 obsidian ore in an afternoon> It costs 10 to make a weapon> It's a huge upgrade to the weapon you've been using for weeks> Only 4 copies of an item exist> 5% drop rateI love game concepts invented by people who don't play games, they're so completely unhinged and out of touch
>>739724685Never seen a subhuman troglodyte for which pic related applies more
>VereeckeLeast soulless dutchman
>>739738259Elon?
>>739724685As someone that has always disliked mmo designs this whole scenario read like a horror story lmao
>>739731710>but he apparently thinks this is something desirable.I think it's because he has no clue how video games actually work.
>>739724685There are aspects to games that could be done in a blockchain way but it would look different. It would be like for example in games where you can buy ingame currency with real money where instead of real money you use crypto money. Also player boosting could be paid with crypto.
>>739739383>instead of real money you use crypto money>Instead of using money to pay for items you use moneyBrilliant idea, Rajeet.> It would be like for example in gamesSry I is ESL!
Blockchains and "NFTs" were just the last grift they were trying to peddle. We've been suffering through endless scamshit for a long time.
Dude goyim are NOT human lmfao
>>739726023NFTs and Blockchain shit didn't lead to mass layoffs and companies refusing to hire anybody because they get thousands of AI submitted applications for every role
>>739726023Those shit only affect GPUsAI shit affects the prices of fucking everything
>>739726023AI is much worse because it's being pushed by big tech companies (read: your slavemasters), not just random grifters on the internet.
>>739724685I always thought blockchain could’ve been interesting for currency in an MMO.Problem is, there isn’t a single developer out there that wouldn’t try to heavily monetise it instead of just leaving it as a feature of the game.
>>739726023There was no such thing, it lasted like a week and then only a minuscle niche still cared about it
Yeah and instead of premium currency you use crypto money. This way you can finance your game easy anon.
>>739735039How has AI lowered your quality of life? It probably improved it in ways you don't even realize
>>739726023Must be baiting. I could ignore deranged NFT bros and stillbuse crypto as intended. I can't ignore deranges AI retards because they actively shitting out low quality things trashing literally all the human civilisation
>>739739860boss is measurably more retarded than previously, putting out stupid ideas, ignoring expert feedback, and providing extremely wordy useless paragraphs instead of actual direction.google provides far worse results, takes longer, and is wrong more often.Microsoft makes their products worse on purpose to accomodate it.extremely shit images flood rule34.xxx
>>739724685that's cool but people were genuinely insane in the head if they thought it'd ever get used for anything but cs skin systems and gacha.could it actually be used to allow for digital game reselling and "ownership" in theory? yeah, but why the fuck would devs and publishers sign off on that?
>>739731887Anon. It's a fake story. He made it up.
>ok I made this cool game>now need to add NFTs because they're everywhere in this fantasy world>have to implement every item in existence in all games that use them>need to figure out what to do if player brings out a car or a magic staff in my space game
>>739731710American Christians worship Mammon so they also see this as a good thing
>>739724685The more unrealistic scenario here is finding the time to play 5 live service games simultaneously each with some progression that forces you to devote time lest you get left behind by those that play 1. I'm a neet and i can't handle more than 1 online with 1-2 offline games on the side. Also there would be lots of kvetching from one game's fans that it's more efficient to grind in another game and transfer assets, not the most healthy economy in an mmo.>>739738036Maybe the boss spawns once per week or only gets given to a tournament/event winner or something
>>739737774>this nigger's current employer listed as EvilPlan Inc, an "AI-Native Entertainment Factory for World Domination (and Pizza)"Seems a little on the nose with a title like that
>>739740660Mammon loves an entrepreneur that knows the true value of wealth in this false world
>>739726023It all sucks but at the very least AI can do some things kind-of. NFTs literally are of zero use vs something that can make the most obscure porn you can think of and attempt to answer super fucking specific questions that might have taken a while trying to dig through on Google.Regardless that shit left such a scar in my psyche that I see a permanent subhuman class of tech bros pushing retarded shit to shill whatever faggotry they invested in everywhere I look now. The world is a dimmer place due to them.
>>739724685What are the odds this guy is shilling some stupid shit on twitter about how AI is about to take over everything and the game just. changed. forever. and AGI is around the corner?
>>739741064his linkedin is just ai shit now, yes obviously.
This sounds like getting a Tails Chao in Sonic Adventure 2, but a million times worse.
hey remember that time when square enix sold off multiple IPs such as tomb raider in order to fund an NFT game they touted as future of gaming called symbiogenesisthat ended up getting only 3 players?HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>739741734that was a neat quest
>>739726023AI is literally ruining everything, and I mean everything. Consumer electronics, hobbies, nature, jobs, education, art, culture, economy.Literally everything.
>>739741943why did square enix become so retarded
>>739741734Pokemon has done shit like this since the beginning, and it's crazy to me that more people don't call it out
>>739742359at least the phantasy star thing had gameplay and a secret tied to it. Most pokemon 'events' is receiving an island that takes you to a single cell island with no dialogue. New games dont even bother with that, just dumping a thing in your PC.
>>739742213involvement with John Heinecke (activision blizzard) and making him CMO in 2018, unironicallysince then>baba hideo left square (pretty much creator of "tales of" series)>square invested and opened office in india>square donated millions to BLM and ukraine>sold off deus ex, legacy of kain, thief, tomb raider, gex, championship manager (football game), commandos, timesplitter, just cause, hitman IP to fund stupid NFT game that failed harder than concord>responsible for creation of forspoken
>>739731710>How come … never point at those people when they talk about things being "demonic"I do
>>739742457You're also permanently locked out of experiencing content without use of hacks, thus locked out of completing the Pokedex. There were also times where you had to have specific games just to unlock content in other ones. In HGSS, they gave away Entei, Raikou, and Suicune in shiny forms, and only by transferring them to Black and White could you get Zoroark. Not to mention also in Black and White literally everything to do with the Global Link, Dream World, that one downloadable AR game that gave you the Nature trio...
>>739742764yeah, black and white was truly peak pokemon.
>>739728578All tradable economies, including csgo and dota and all MMO items, are literally NFTs. They're just not on a blockchain, just in a database on the official servers
>>739727337ThisArchipelago is basically this, and also helpfully highlights the problems. I'm sitting on my ass for 3 hours 'cuz I need the boomerang for Barrinade, my hammer for Paper Mario (haven't been able to leave the tutorial for 14 hours), and finished Dark Souls three hours ago. Now hypothetically, you could touch this up a bit, maybe I can choose to send *a* hammer from Dark Souls to Paper Mario, or the Kingdom Hearts player can send me a keyblade he'll never use so I can get into Valley of the Drakes early, we have a bit more intelligent design rather than everything being a giant randomizer, but that's a MASSIVE amount of work, for something that's probably only going to be played once
>>739729632>He also got sued by the Bored Ape guys, lost, and owes them 1.5 million dollars.Wait what, why
>>739727337>>739743101>My Mario 64 star gets a Dark Soul player their Lordvessel (or some trash given that game's item pool) so they can stop complaining and grab some levels for the Kingdom Hearts player>Now hypothetically, you could touch this up a bit, maybe I can choose to send *a* hammer from Dark Souls to Paper Mario, or the Kingdom Hearts player can send me a keyblade he'll never use so I can get into Valley of the Drakes earlyThat sounds really dumb, what exactly is the appeal supposed to be here?
>>739740485If you say so.
>>739743472in the same way that 5% drop rate is somehow supposed to be incredibly low in this scenario, the shill and the shareholder simply don't understand how games work or how players within them acti assure you the only thing they thought about was HEY IF WE OWN THE HOUSE AND HOUSE ALWAYS THEN WE'LL GET A CUT OUT OF EVERYTHING LIKE STEAM ALREAD DOES and not who is supposed to create the assets, or integrate them into games, or coordinate cross-game (or even cross-company) interactions
>>739726023AI at least helped me create some py scripts and batch scripts to help me convert a bunch of stuff. NFTs never helped me with anything
>>739737297>make game that gives out hats every 30 seconds to each player>crash TF2 with no survivors
Should've bought more ubisoft quartz.
>>739724685I do not understand this image
>>739745340>be valve
Cryptoniggers are so insufferable. Everything they say is a desperate attempt to unload the shit bag they are holding. Public hangings for them
>>739724685I almost miss this inanity compared to the current climate. At least I can laugh at this.
I'm excited for bikechain gaming. It involves beating tech bros to death with bike chains.
>>739726023That shit was over before it even began.
>>739724685didn't this faggot leapfrog to ai
>>739726023no you don't understand! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lngJnSLx4hA
>>739724685this is what happens when you don't gatekeep btw
>>739743472The point is basically to play randomizers with your friends, with every friend handling a different game, but some people play them on their own.
>>739726452He works for bitkraft who are literally an investment firm. They only operate by investing in promising spaces. When this post happened, Blockchain was the hot thing for VC investment and now it's AI. One of the secondary things they do is try to create narratives of future success with spaces they are invested in so you get all this bullshit top down fluffy wankery. It's the only language investors understand.
>>739726023>People get mad at shit but remember there's also... shit Ok?
>>739724685What the fuck was the point that guy was trying to make? That future looked hideous, so maybe he wrote it sarcastically, but that's LinkedIn so he might as well have been 100% serious.
>>739740057>boss is measurably more retarded than previously, putting out stupid ideas, ignoring expert feedback, and providing extremely wordy useless paragraphs instead of actual direction.o-oy Anon, are you one of my colleagues
>>739749276many such cases.
