wait it’s just ethereum lmfaooo

I couldn’t be bothered to read the whole thing and had for some reason foolishly assumed they’d create something to support this “grandiose” vision themselves

imo “censorship resistance” is pretty much the only real use it has, i.e. generally for things outside of or on the edges of the law, such as drug marketplaces or transferring to and from sanctioned countries

with that though, while it does have some technological benefits to achieve that, imo the main reason it’s been good at it is that the space had been kind of ignored by regulators for a long time, and these things have been getting steadily more difficult. Like with exchanges in the EU/US now requiring you to identify yourself etc, it’s more difficult to actually get money in and out of the ecosystem anonymously

god I fucking hate these blockchain whitepapers

also what’s the over-under on these amazing modding tools just being shitty smart contracts lmfaooo

Mmhm, I have it installed actually! Played with it a bit but it was at the end of a like FTL hyperfocus so I haven’t played since 😅

FTL yoooooo

I need to play more again tbh

It’s a negative Steam curator review for Disco Elysium

Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character. Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.

The vocals in this song are so well done

Heat sig is such an awesome game, one of the rare cases where I just got immediately hooked the moment I saw the trailer

A few funny broken strats:
Mission targets are always swappable even when not on the ship so you can do assassinations by flying next to a ship, stepping out of your pod into space, and then just swap places with your target (also works for rescue and capture, but you need to then quickly grab the target with your pod)

Hijacking another ship is pretty goofy, since you can actually use the guns, i.e. if you’re doing a hard mission you can just hijack an easier allied ship and blast down your target or even detach rooms for stealing missions etc

Traps are broken as hell, basically you can throw a trap, teleport it back to you and then deploy it. It’ll keep the momentum it had while being thrown so you can basically just throw active traps (hint: use glitch traps)

Wait when the hell did Tactical Breach Wizards release

I thought it wasn’t even in development anymore lmao

I mean, not remotely a surprise, but still pog

Oh yeah, I was just joking that it’s like the land based equivalent of snaking in Stellaris where you rush to get valuable systems and chokepoints and it ends up looking like that

chile is clearly founded by stellaris players

they saw that valuable coastal land and immediately snaked to get it all

from what I can find peeking through the etymology research linked on Dutch Wiktionary, they are, but not directly

In Dutch it came from a combination of the already existing insult ‘kackerlacker’ and the Portuguese word ‘cacalacca’, coming from the Arawak (?) ‘kakalaka’.
I don’t speak Spanish so I can’t look at the Spanish etymology really, but the Dutch etymologiebank does mention that the Spanish most likely originates from either the Portuguese or the original Carribean language

What do you mean “what”?
What do you mean “is”?
What do you mean “your”?
What do you mean “favourite”?
What do you mean “colour”?

I mean yeah and “that’s cute honey do you want a cigarette” is basically what geologists told him lmfao

ehhh, the modern inception of the idea was Wegener in the 1910s, but it had no real mechanism for it.

it really wasn’t until the 60s that it had been solidified into a single theory with strong evidence behind it and became widely accepted

honestly forgot Dragon Age: Origins has like a bunch of transphobic ‘jokes’ in it

just found out greg ellis was in hogwarts legacy and it’s genuinely one of the least surprising things ever
