Peter Molyneux loves NFTs. He's also been scamming gamers since he's left MS. NFTs makes it even easier for him to do so.

if Peter Molyneux's support isn't proof that it's a scam, I don't know what is.

NFTs seem really stupid to me. Apprently there might be uses outside a dumb digital collectors item but I don't see anyone using it in that way.

NFT’s just seem like another kind of DRM. I saw a Spawn Wave video about them and he did mention how it could be a way for users to buy and sell digital games and possibly even trade them. I would imagine that the companies would want a cut of those sales.

I also heard mention of someone equating them to those people who would “sell” you your own star in the sky. I think it was Jim Sterling. Boy that takes me back. LOL

LOL. My parents bought a star for my son when he was born. We got a very nice frame with it, and I'm pretty sure that's where the majority of the $30 or whatever much it cost went. I'm pretty sure that star hasn't gone up in value over the past 15 years though.

Well an NFT can be anything can'it? So yeah, it could be used as drm to allow for transferring software between users, but it could just as well be used for Fifa FUT cards or to inflate the value of anything digital (see those bored apes).

All it is is a proof of ownership that constantly uses energy. And since it's used to grant ownership over something digital that was without a sense of worth prior to NFT's appearing, there'll be a lot of speculating going on. Because how does one determine the correct worth of the first ever sms? It holds no value other than that which capitalism acrues it with, which is bound to overvalue anything.

PSVR 2 sounds interesting but I think I'm over VR for now. The only thing that would change my mind would be Gran Turismo 7 VR. And only if I can play the entire game in VR. That would be awesome.

My issue with VR is still the admission to entry. I think I'd like it, but my vision makes me a little apprehensive. I've use my friend's VR system for about 20 minutes and it seems okay, but I'm not sure if I would still feel the same after an hour or multiple hours.  It's just not the cheapest thing in the world to test out, particularly if it doesn't work out.

I'm just happy Sony is including something as revolutionary as eye tracking.  Finally digital women will be able to scorn us for gazing at their virtual clevages for unapropriate lengths of time.

It will be worthless without lickable eye-lenses. Maybe some smell-o-vision, too.

So kind of a fun note about SMTV. I finally opened up the full map of the final world, and that was definitely one of the difficult tasks I've ever completed. But the side effect of it is my character is pretty high level and almost every monster in the game runs away from me now.

So at this point the only thing really left is to just start tackling the optional and story required bosses. As a result, the whole thing is sort of turned into a Boss Rush where I'm fighting every mythical hero, monster, and God out of egyptian, hindu, greek, norse, in Japanese mythology. And now that I think about it, there are some Christian gods and figures in this game who I will eventually be killing as well. So that's pretty much going to ruin my chance at being the next pope, but I suppose it's a small price to pay for getting through this game.

Anyone like deck building games? I've never tried them. They look somewhat confusing. Is it like Top Trumps?

I hear great things about Slay the Spire, which is 60% off.

I recently bought Faeria on eshop sale for $5. I need to put some more time into it but so far I like it.
