Predictions???
By 2025 all of the naysayers in the NFT thread will have succumbed and bought some kind of iteration of NFT.
Not saying an art NFT. It could be anything, Art, Music, a Subscription/Membership, Gaming etc.
- Just got another message on Instagram from a kid wanting me to start a NFT collection with him...
NFTs = tulip maniagrafician - Save post.palimpsest
- Not even downvoting, but I predict your net losses will be greater (fees, minting, time wasted, etc.) than your profits from NFTs involvement by 2025grafician
- with all that celebrity jumping in https://finance.yaho…neverscared
- you might be right... or not.. it higly like can just die off as an 2 year fad.. u are exactly refering to that thing in the nft documentary ...neverscared
- everything will get a token.... imagine how nightmarish that will be... phew..neverscared
- the deepest dream of the hypercapitalism elite powered with brutal co2 emission tech..(except tezos maybe ) comes true...shitty future is the making.neverscared
- mates, for commercial transactions you need refunds - there's no refunds with crypto - but keep dreaming about a future with crypto and nfts and all that crapgrafician
- tezos seems to be more like the little fish swimwing around sharks mouth... gettin some food... when the shark signs out the little fish goes where ?neverscared
- I predict that 90% of people creating NFTs will lose money. 9% will make break even and 1% will make a killing.utopian
- A lot like a grand Ponzi schemeutopian
- more like 0.1% when u look at the data so far.neverscared

This is probably the most dull and boring clip to ever air on the Jimmy Fallon show. And that's saying something!!!

I'm so bored of modern design. Using computer. Vector graphics. Fake image making photoshop. All the design from it, seems boring - it's all screen based. Even the printed stuff feels like a hand never touched it.
I'm bored of seeing it. Bored of creating it. Just want to go in a time machine back to a time when all things graphic and design were done by hand and mechanical machines. Where imperfections were charming.

Suggest a good movie…
What’s up with Amazon Prime producing mediocre af movies?
Just watched The Tender Bar. You can tell the book is likely way better than the movie. And it had great actors plus Clooney directing. Same with Goldfinch. Cool story but boring movie.
Are there any GREAT movies from Amazon Studios? Are they even trying?
- At least the content matches their lazy-ass interface. Zero effort went into that.spl33nidoru
- I could tell you but then I'd have to take your tongue. All I can say is buckle up. Also glad the VID didn't take you out, cheers!garbage
- Not much worst than Netflix.utopian
- At least Netflix did Roma!nb
- agree, prime has been shit lately ( or always) Netflix is way better_niko
- Roma in theaters was amazing.garbage

Survey Says Developers Are Definitely Not Interested In Crypto Or NFTs
'How this hasn’t been identified as a pyramid scheme is beyond
me'https://kotaku.com/nft-crypto-cr…
Every year, ahead of the actual Game Developers Conference, the show’s organisers run an industry survey, polling creators around the world on what’s happening and what could be happening in the games business. With 2022 promising to be a tumultuous 12 months, this year’s results are perhaps a bit more interesting than the norm.
The brainworm-driven craze for all things blockchain, cryptocurrency and NFT has players (and developers) rightly afraid of what kind of fresh hells await us over the next few years, as dollar-chasing executives across the industry seem increasingly convinced there is something of value in the tech.
- Devs where i work not keen on NFTs. Then I show them fxhash site.
Oh wait, I can get money for doing fun programming I do in my spare time anyway!microkorg - Then jump into the sandbox to find out more.microkorg
- i guess its not spare time anymore if u work... otherwise it would be not callled sparetime...neverscared
- u still work for ponzi... if thats your lifedream..u cant be helped.neverscared
- crypto tech developers are diff niche, 2-3 years ago i couldn't get rid of the "develop a blockchain shit for us" requests.sted
- didnt u say u work fulltime nft artists 2-3 weeks ago ?neverscared
- no i work fulltime doing UX.
doing NFTs in my spare time now rather than freelancing. MUCH less stress.microkorg - Well duh... you know how difficult it is to constantly debug a game pre release? Then if you're stuck in a game engine developed specific to your ip?jonny_quest_lives
- Wtf would you want to implement an nft scheme to your chaotic workflow. On top of that you already have efficient in game economics for making money.jonny_quest_lives
- "In the third quarter of 2021, Activision Blizzard generated 1.65 billion U.S. dollars of revenues through microtransactions and downloadable content"jonny_quest_lives
- Cannot get my head around folk ok paying for non tangible asset in a game vs digital piece of art.microkorg
- But do kinda agree with what Jonny says above about why implement nft layer on top of perfectly good marketplaces.microkorg
- Well if an ingame weapon skin or character skin is purely cosmetic... I see no point in buying it but if the item is rare or has a good perk set some playerjonny_quest_lives
- will spend in game currency to acquire it... currently Fortnite and Roblox serm to be raking in a ton of revenue with in game purchasesjonny_quest_lives
- Plus you don't have the headache of coding your "Digital Asset" to be functional/transfera... to other game environments.jonny_quest_lives
- Current thinking is Microsoft us moving towards becoming the Netflix of gaming... where you just stream the game of your choice versus ownership. Especially:jonny_quest_lives

I brought my girlfriend of three years to my brothers wedding in Mexico and at the last night we all went out to dinner and I look across the table and my girlfriend is weeping but she wont tel me what I did.
The restaurant is so loud anyway that we can’t talk but I ask her if she wants to leave and she says yes. So I mouth goodbye to my brother and his now wife and I gone out side and mu girlfriend has already gone back to out hotel room.
Back at the room she asks me to hold her in bed and so I do without question. Then she drops it on me that she’s having withdrawls.
Withdrawls from what I ask and she says she needs me to go out and get her vicodin so we can get through the airport in the morning. Shes been abusing hydrocodone and xanax for months.
So I manage to find her some-enough to get her through traveling and realize the web of lies that i have to start spinning to say goodbye and tale the transport to the airport with my mom.
Now we are waiting at our gate and she is nodding out and I am weeping openly because my other friend is telling me I need to buy Narcan for her roommate and my house in case she doesnt have an accident and ODs.
I am really distressed and don’t know who to ask for help from her friends. But I am pretty sure I need to tell her sister and mom and it’s about to get difficult.
- Sorry spellingcannonball1978
- so sorry to hear, and it sounds like you'll be there for her through thismonospaced
- that's so rough, sorry to hear. hopefully if you tell her fam she'll have more of a support circle, and you'll have more ppl to talk to about it. good luckBuddhaHat
- Fuck man. So sorry. I know the feeling of 'what did I miss?'. Hope she's okay and you can definitely deal with this.Ianbolton
- hold tight man. you're doing the right thing. be there for her. she needs help. good luck!oey_oey
- I really REALLY thought you were going to say dick withdrawals from fucking another dudecherub
- that was close. vicodin aint that serious. way less drama than having to fight another dude.cherub

One month since I left smoking... It's being so easy this time.
- Congrats!scarabin
- Here's a trick: at some point, you are going to talk yourself into having 'just one' at a party or something. Don't do it.monNom
- It's the simplest thing, but it's the thing that breaks the spell. Always so no to "just one" and you will be quit forever.monNom
- Yeah, the last time I quit, was back to smoking eight years later for this reason... "just one..."OBBTKN
- took me a few times to figure it out.monNom
- ¡suerte!BuddhaHat
- "Always so no to "just one" and you will be quit forever." Thats a great piece of wisdom. Of course- most solutions are simple in logic, but hard to practiceepigraph
- I'd say in addition to the above —always have a pack of cigarettes to hand, so you can easily rationalise saying 'No' to it. No adventure getting some to be hadNairn
- Yep, you have to make peace with the fact that you will NEVER take another drag. You’ll die never tasting another cig. If you can do that, you’re freenb
