What could have been if gamers weren't so anti-progress.
>>744238330>BloCkChAIn dOeSNT bRiNg AnYtHiNgWhat causes an adult male to type like this?
This guys an idiot
do play devils advocate, at some point i really do feel like things like skins and csgo cases or whatever are safer on a blockchain then a company that could sell out to share holders or become the victim of some govt shakedown
>>744238330If Old School Rune Chains was a thing with an immutable blockchain, the entire game would be irreversibly ruined after that glitch where they accidently added a Tbow spawn near the Farming Guild.
>>744238330these people are not ensouled.slaves to capital as an ideology
>>744238330notice how he only talks about grinding, drop rates and upgradesnothing about gameplaynothing about story or charactersor artstyleor musicor anythingI'm so glad blockchain bullshit died completely
Timmy is trying to make this happen right now, and has a beta version of it with easy access to fortnite skin pipelines.But i doubt it will go beyond meme skins, because standardizing on a generic database for EVERYTHING would suck.
>>744238330Wait until this guy hears that in MMOs like Ragnarok Online the drop rates can go as low as 0.01%
>>744238330This sounds fucking miserable
Imagine the gachas
>>744239309every MBA man is absolutely OBSESSED with Roblox as a conceptthey don't care that it's being sued in every single country that exists and they don't care it's not even as profitable as they wantthey want Roblox. They want players and children making their content while they get a free cut. It's the perfect infinite business model. You don't need to do anything except collect rent.
>>744238330>invested in scamsAnd now he's brokechain ahahahah
>>744239309Timmy is doing this with normal servers instead of pointlessly and stupidly adding the expensive and slow and entirely useless middle-man of the blockchainThe fundamental reason OP is retarded isn't because of the idea of having inventory cross over between games. That is actually viable and kind of interesting. It's retarded because there's zero reason to have blockchains involved. To use a food analogy (the best kind of analogy), it's like if someone said your peanut butter sandwich would be better if you added jelly and also punched yourself in the balls 10 times. Why not just add the jelly and NOT punch yourself in the balls? Because they don't actually want a good sandwich, they want an excuse to punch themselves in the balls (use blockchain)
>>744239584well also, MBAs never really understood databases until they accidentally learned a roundabout version of them by getting really into memechains.They just don't understand it's a people problem, not a tech problem.
>>744238330Poor guy doesn't realize that a 5% drop rate in any decently popular MMO means thousands upon thousands of people would have it within a week
>>744239708I don't think he has ever played a real game ever. Specially not an endgame MMO
>>744239787Of course not, he's too busy trying to get rich off off the latest tech trends.Wouldn't be shocked if he's all in on AI these days.
>>744239309>because standardizing on a generic database for EVERYTHING would suckAnd basically no company would agree to it.
>>744238330This is some of the gayest shit ever.
Imagine larping as a gamer lmao
>want to play space game>find out i need to buy another fucking game to get the fuel to do exploration>which to get you need to play a fucking candy crush cloneI would, as the child say it, "crash out"
>>744238330I think the game specifics being wrong isn't that big of a deal, he's just making some example, it's not actually runescape. What is most egregious to me is the idea that your dumbfuck friend spent TWO YEARS doing blacksmithing in elder scrolls just to seemingly provide you a mid-tier upgrade, and he gets nothing in return for his slaving away at this
>>744238330>5% chance of dropping>currently only 4 in existence
>>744240679>>744239708>>744238330>>744239368Because less 5% chance would cause any finance psychopath to file restraining order if they don't outright hire a hitman to murder the offender.
>>744239935He is. I literally looked him up.
>>744238802>are safer on a blockchainWhy would they allow you to do that? You signed the tos agreeing that yo don't own anything you buy
>>744238330The fuck is he talking about? What does that have to do with blockchain?
>>744238330>Has a 5% chance of dropping an Immaculate Ord of Brilliance>of which there are currently only 4 in existenceThis is actually believeable if you assume there are only 100 people stupid enough to play that dogshit.
>>744238330I only play linear story games so why would I ever want this shit?
>>744243468Don't be fucking antisemitic, invest in his company
>>744243353I lied because they lied. null and void.
They already tried this with the Kingdom Hearts series, where you need 12 different consoles (half of them mobile/handheld), 2 PCs, and 3 (no longer in production) Japanese cellphones to play the entire series as originally intended
>>744244039thats just weeb shit though so can be safely ignored
The funny thing is, AI shills don't understand that this is exactly what they sound like.
so uhhhh, why not just have those resources be obtainable in their own game?
remember how you could use tf2 hats in portal 2 co-opwhy was that the endgoal of the future of gaming for a while
Thanks I've been looking for this
>>744238802How? All of that shit is still dependant on the game company themselves honoring it and letting it be used in their game. Whatever system you ise to "prove" you own doesnt matter if the company decides "lol none of it counts anymore. You can only use stuff released after today"
>>744238330sincerely why did these people ever think>why yes, people do want their video games to be less convenient and harder to play
>>744247518They wanted to turn videogame grinding into an actual job
>>744247518>literally the entire MMORPG movement of the late 90s-early 00sTheir big draw was how impossible they were to play and how much of your life you'd have to invest in them to have anything worth a shit.That was a huge gaming movement that sold PCs and GPUs.
>>744239397I remember those web browser games from 2010-2014 i bet it got worse then that of course there is gachacancer
>>744245316Sex with hats on
>>744238330cross-game currency does not require blockchain
>>744238330You know I've read this shit so many times and it still astonishes me that a human(?) wrote it completely seriously. It's honestly something that deserves to go in a museum to be laughed at for generations a thousand years from now, like the Ea Nasir copper letters.
>>744239448I don't know why some billionaire hasn't worked out that you can just knock off second life and make an "adults only" version of roblox that all the kids will play with mommy's credit card anyway.
>>744238330>Imagining you and your guild have the time to play 5 block chain gamesWe're currently in a crisis where gamers have such a fucking deluge of video games to play that a good portion of new games fail right out of the gate purely because nobody has time to play them
>>744247518>house always wins>what if we build our own house?>nah, that shit will take too long, at least invite everybody in first>what do you mean only 3 people showed up to our collection of bricks?
>>744238330>bros we could've been gambling with an unstable version of day-trading every other minute just to afford groceries lolI mean I guess it beats having zero income options once AI reaches the industry's desired goal, but still a really stupid way to spin what was already becoming a meme scheme. Crypto games are also possibly the only thing more pathetic than gachashit and outright casinos.
>>744238330Aren't they trying to add this shit to the next unreal engine just not calling it the block chain
>>744251546They just wrote an article about how AI will not lower hours and you will enjoy doing even more work
>>744238802Those skins would still lose all of their value if Valve decides to pull the plug on CSGO. No outside company will decide to make a game that uses them (we're not talking about small fan projects)
>>744238330>The year is 2012. It's a rainy Friday afternoon. You've just got your check for working 9-5.>You open up The Universe of Battleart Online and feel a rush of excitement. Your buddy from school has spent the last 2 years farming some shitty boss, and he has agreed to sell you a 5* weapon, a minimal upgrade over the 4* weapon you've been weilding since yesterday.>He first needs to sell 27 more of those at auction so in the meantime, you hop into Battle of Families, and use the remaining money to upgrade your camp to next level. That should speed up your grinding by 2% for now.
>>744251947and yet the entire globe-spanning economy is effectively one big scam perpetuated by keynesian cultistsjust one more massive socialpolitical change in the name of productivity bro, it's all uphill from here
Why would you need blockchain technology to achieve something like his "vision"?
>>744252726Those games would be developed by different companies, not a single one, so in this specific scenario implementing blockchain would be superior over a normal centralized database since anyone would have easy access to it.That being said this is incredibly wishful thinking, no video game developer would ever bother putting up with this, it would be a massive headache trying to balance your video game's economy around other vidyas. The vast majority of players would not even give a shit, or perhaps even hate the system. Imagine requiring Runescape players to do their dailies on Clash of Clans & Candy Crush and water their crops on Hayday for optimal grinding
>>744238330why is there only 4 items that exist when the drop rate is as high as 5%?oh that's right because even in his dreams no one playing this shit lol
>>744253686You are basing this on the assumption that he actually plays video games. To him, a 5% drop sounds insanely rare. His 3 braincells can't comprehend that it isn't much scaled up to thousands of players who would farm for it
>>744238330If this was real autistic people, the sort that spend 10k hours in a single game, would suicide bomb data centers
>grind in this game to grind in that game so you can all grind in this other game to prepare to grind in that new gameWho then fuck would actually enjoy that shit? That just sounds like fucking busywork and the last thing I want to do when I'm playing a video game is fucking busywork.
>>744239584>To use a food analogy (the best kind of analogy), it's like if someone said your peanut butter sandwich would be better if you added jelly and also punched yourself in the balls 10 times. Why not just add the jelly and NOT punch yourself in the balls? Because they don't actually want a good sandwich, they want an excuse to punch themselves in the balls (use blockchain)Ah, now I get it.
how do phone gamers enjoy energy mechanicsare they soulless bots? do skinner boxes really work on them
>>744238330>i need to play and grind in like 6 other dogshit genres and settings including mobileslop and MMOtranny garbage to be allowed to play the game i actually want to playTHANK FUCK FOR THAT
What the fuck even is a blockchain? I thought it was a fighting game mechanic this entire time.
>>744247518they're nepo-babies, they want everything to be inconvenient with the option to pay for convenience so they can get an advantage over everyone else
>>744257785Well, see, it's kind of a Cloud based method to synergetically trade NFT's and cryptocurrency via AI based IoT mechanisms, which bypasses the Etherwalls by implementing a sophisticated BFF solution that will revolutionize Quark-Computing as we know it.
>>744239236That's what you noticed? I was almost through reading the entire post before I realized he wasn't trying to make some kind of cautionary point by portraying the bleakest gaming future he could imagine.
The only valid use of blockchain is providing actual ownership over purely digital media such as videogamesthe reason why this actual valid use was never implemented is because this would cut into the profits of corporations since now they can no longer claim you own just a subscription to their service
>>744258494a lot of techbros rattle of the bleakest possible futures and then try to peddle it to you as the next great step forward AI bros genuinely sound like the opening monologue to a post-apocalyptic movie before it zooms out to reveal an irradiated wasteland
>>744238330>5% drop chance>4 in existence
>>744258748you have to play mobileslop to grind resources, is it really that shocking that the game is dead?
>>744238330>discord crypto trannyFBI is coming for xem
>>744240474>>744238330Imagine logging into this Dante's Inferno of levels of interconnected hellishness and being swarmed by Chinese trying to wipe your wallet, and Indians trying to scam you, and various other ethnicities begging for things, without a single normal White or Japanese person in sight. They'll leave you begging for a Mexican or even a SEA member to play with.
YOU GET TO GRIND IN ONE GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A SECOND GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A THIRD GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A FOURTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A FIFTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A SIXTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A SEVENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN AN EIGHTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A NINTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN AN ELEVENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWELFTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A THIRTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A FOURTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A FIFTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A SIXTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A SEVENTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN AN EIGHTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A NINTEENTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTIETH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-FIRST GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-SECOND GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-THIRD GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-FOURTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-FIFTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-SIXTH GAME SO YOU CAN GRIND IN A TWENTY-SEVENTH GAME SO YOU CA
>>744258978I can only imagine the sheer horror contained in the phrase "god damn I miss the Brazilians"
>using this totally revolutionary and totally not a scam technology you should absolutely invest zillions of dollars into, you can do something companies are already capable of doing>they simply don't apart from aesthetic rewards because even the suits capable of shitting all over the industry right now recognize people might not want to play a second game to progress their firstthank you candy salesman i will now invest all my life savings into candy
>>744257785Essentially an encryption algorithm that allows for a database to be distributed over every computer in a network rather than being hosted on a central server.The initial point was to create a database where no particular authority controlled or owned the data. Usually someone owns the infrastructure that hosts information, but when it's distributed among the personal devices of private users, there's no central authority, no Sony or CloudFlare who gets to make the rules.The original design was conceived of after the 2008 financial crises alongside cryptocurrency as a way to create a financial system outside of the control of banks and government finance, which had failed utterly in allowing the 2008 meltdown to happen. It was quickly flooded by gullible tech evangelists, scammers and organized crime to become the meme it is today.
>>744259617is it too much conspiracy theory to think that this flood of scammers and tech investors corrupting the purpose was intentional to avoid a non-centrally controlled global banking system from arising organically? with as added bonus it was yet another way for the rich to extract money from the poors
>>744259801No because it's fucking obvious that a completely unmoderated system with irreversible transactions and no way for the police or any kind of elected authority to adjudicate would draw in scam artists.If you leave stagnant water around, you'll breed mosquitoes. If you invent a new way to commit white collar financial crimes you'll breed white collar financial criminals.
>OSRS>an item with a 5% drop rate>only four in existenceThis guy doesnt play video games, does he?
>>744238330This is what stockholders and investors want your video games to be. You don't hate them enough.
>>744259985the only charitable explanation would be that the boss the item is locked behind is a recently released superboss that only the top 0.001% of players has a shot at defeatingbut in that case why the fuck would a game with relatively large mass appeal (space exploration) intentionally choose to gate itself behind an item that can only be gotten by poopsock level commitment to another game, since those types of players aren't going to switch to an entirely different genre for any reason what so ever
>>744259985That much is obvious. The actual question is "Can he do math, or are numbers just magic squigglies to him?".
I don't play mobile slop cuck
>>744238330>somehow all these games will have deep meaningful interactions like that because of blockchain prooflol lmao, if anyone wanted to do this they already could because we have this thing called accounts, databases and api's
>>744238330It can be quite useful, but freaks like this ruined it.
