RE: Most Blockchain Games Are Fucking Awful And You Know It
I agree with you that many blockchain games are boring and not worth playing. First-generation games like Cryptokitties are especially bad because you have to pay gas costs for every transaction. And I

RE: King's Quest 3 (PC game): point and click adventure fun in the 80's
One of my absolute favorite games of all time. Roberta Williams was a genius. Her other games are all almost as good as this one, including the other King's Quest games and Phantasmagoria. The latter is

I have used bitbots with the strategy outlined in this video: Using this strategy, I had a positive return on investment of about $3-$4 with every post, as opposed to only 50 cents or less when not using

RE: Shutdown Theater
In a sense, we don't really need to pay taxes. In the past, taxes were used to pay for government services. But today, the government has a monopoly on the creation of money. So it can just print as much

RE: A Scene of Dungeons and Dragons Fun
This post reminded me of the fun I used to have playing tabletop RPGs. Nowadays, I can never find players. So I just play MUDs instead. But it was fun reading this.

From what I understand, the news used to be less biased because there were only four major networks: NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox. Networks wanted to have the largest possible audience. If they expressed an

RE: The Government Shutdown
I think this talk about whether the wall is justified really misses the point. If there is a wall built, it will not stop illegal immigration. The immigrants will simply climb over it or go around it.

RE: Fed Chairman Powell is worried about growing US Debt
Could be. But there is not much gold leasing going on these days. With interest rates at 2-3%, gold miners don't want to hedge...which means there is no one to take the other side of the trade. Bullion

RE: Fed Chairman Powell is worried about growing US Debt
Despite his statement, I'm sure that Chairman Powell isn't actually worried about the national debt. As measured in gold, the national debt peaked in 2001 and has declined by about 25% since then. Although

Can you get a level boost in FF online? Many people have the same problem with World of Warcraft. They say you are just running errands for NPCs. Because of this, a lot of experienced players actually

RE: The Final Fantasy 14 quest system is just terrible
If you do end up calling it quits on FF14 (or taking a break from it), you may enjoy trying out WoW. It's free for the first 20 levels. I played on a free account several times over the years.

That sounds horrible. So I guess the dungeons are better, and that is what keeps you playing? What is it that you would say is better about FFXIV vs WoW? I'm curious because I have only recently started
