Kids who can't afford fancy computers grow up into rich adults who have no nostalgia towards your game franchise


Like exposure, nostalgia doesn't pay the bills.


That's really interesting. I'm not brain damaged (at least not more than most people, heh) but I always had a pretty strong preference for higher refresh rate screens. They just seem calmer to me. Never had an issue with dimming but I'll take your anecdote as a canary in the coal mine on DC vs PWM. It's probably better for everyone to avoid flickering even if we don't notice there's a problem.


Can even put a button on the end. Something dramatic like a nuclear launch button.


Finally, an excuse for a big button with a safety glass cover on it.


I bought my first 4k@120 monitor this year. Huge TV that doubles as PC screen. The first time I've bought a TV and the first time I've spent that much on a monitor. My graphics card can't keep up (I'd need a GPU as expensive as the screen) but playing games at 1080p works fine. The 4k resolution is most appreciated when I do desktop stuff.

I think 4k@120 monitors are entering more people's price range and many will choose one on their next upgrade cycle.


There are also EVM-compatible coins now with better L1 scalability and defi swaps and bridges between ETH and these coins


> crypto exchanges, gambling, or more cryptocurrencies (such as ERC-20 based ones on the Ethereum blockchain).

These are the building blocks of more interesting stuff that will come later.


I will continue to cheer on the criminals until it's normal for companies to have good information security.


Because there are so many companies who deserve derision. Not all companies of course.


Sure, but I would be surprised if those businesses are buying this insurance.


I partly agree with both of those sentiments. I think DAOs have the potential to replace nations and cryptocurrency's most revolutionary use case at the moment is being a playground for innovation in governance.


States have people with guns that enforce laws and officials who willingly leave office when they lose elections or are fired. That’s the hard part, not the voting. How does a DAO do this?


> States have people with guns that enforce laws (...) How does a DAO do this?

The same way the state does it: Paying them money.

> officials who willingly leave office when they lose elections or are fired

I don't think that will be hard in a DAO since the real power is with the DAO, not with any official acting on its behalf.

Anyway these kinds of questions and many more are why we need this playground, to discover all the edges and gotchas and find solutions.


The recommender algorithms cater to the dumbest common denominator, i.e. content with the broadest appeal (no niche stuff) to the most active internet users (people with way too much spare time).
