To be fair, a pity system should definitely be a thing if there’s any sort of gamba. That way there’s at least a hard limit on what you can waste your money on until it’s guaranteed. I at least find GI characters not to be too predatory, you mostly pull them for fun. In fact some of the best characters are the starting 4 stars lol, and you pull cuz you like the character a lot. They really develop the characters a lot, and if you’ve seen any comic cons or anime conventions, you’ll see an insane amount of Genshin cosplays cuz they suck you in by really loving the characters. The gameplay is honestly so easy you absolutely don’t need a good character, and it’s actually incredibly balanced. The earliest characters released are actually still S tier because they fucked up the balance a bit with them so the new characters are still good but more niche focused, so everything is still relevant.
The only hard content is what’s called the spiral abyss, which is a completely optional dungeon that rotates every 2 weeks and 100% clearing it gives you like 5 free gacha rolls, so people really just use it to bench mark characters since nothing else in the game is remotely challenging, nor is there any pvp aspect or anything.
But yeah, also Gacha and live service games tend to be a drug, once they have you hooked it’s hard to quit. Sunk cost fallacy is real hard to overcome in gacha games.
Yeah it’s a legitimately a really good game and still has a huge amount of permanent content, but that’s the nature of live service games. They need that constant engagement to survive. A game like Baulders gate, you buy it and the devs are paid regardless of how much or how little you play, not really the case with live service.
Oh and GI is gacha which isn’t good either. But then they do cool stuff like make a really good card game in game that’s completely free with zero paid stuff, and even hold irl tourneys with big prize pools.
That’s not what fomo means. I have a bad case of FOMO right now with Genshin Impact. I genuinely like the game, but it forces me to login twice a day with the resin system (basically energy that accumulates over time), otherwise it caps and I lose progress. Also a lot of their content is in the form of limited time events. They do this for the obvious reason of it being extremely profitable. This is why you should be very cautious about getting into live service games.
You didn’t even know what a pgp key was before this convo or read receipts, you have no idea what you’re talking about. This is not a real problem and is already solved with outbox emails.
Your personal email server doesn’t count, because you can alter the log to show whatever you want. Nobody is going to take your word for it.
Falsifying evidence is a crime.
Manager tells worker they need to cover an emergency on the weekend, worker claims they never received the message.
Lol then the manager will say “why did you not respond”, it’s on the worker. They’re not going to pull up a fucking blockchain, they’re going to pull out their phone and say “see, I sent you this”.
Business wants to cancel a work order, contractor shows up and says they weren’t properly notified of the cancellation.
That’s the contractors fault. Blockchain is irrelevant. If they didn’t check their email, they’re sure as hell not going to check a dumb ass blockchain.
They know they sent you the message, even if you delete it or otherwise pretend they didn’t.
Crazy, I wonder how they know that? Maybe because they know they pressed the “send” button, and it’s the other party’s responsibility to accept.
Again, none of these situations need a dumb fucking blockchain.
You do understand that not every blockchain system is public, right?
This is such an obscure situation that doesn’t even need to be solved with blockchain. Look at the article being posted. “Messaging network for safer communications”, which now apparently turns to just a single situation where a lawyer needs to send a time sensitive email and needs to prove it was sent? Which again, doesn’t actually even solve the problem. In this case, your blockchain ponzi scheme email can easily get caught by a spam filter. You’ve now turned the use case to some global read receipt system, which is dumb as hell and something nobody needs.
This use case literally does not exist. It can also be solved by a simple email server. A business that wants to keep logs of all their messages being sent out or received can store everything on their server with inbound or outbound emails. If in the super extreme scenario where a lawyer sends an email and the counsel ignores it, they can get in a lot of legal trouble for lying and would just get delayed. They lawyer can also prove they sent an outbound copy on their email server. What do you think needs to be “auditable” in communication? A business sending a damn receipt does not need this solution, that’s the end user for their email being valid. A lawyer sending private documents to each other want the literal last thing to be on a fucking public cloud server that is invisibly accessible by any fucking third party. Do you hear yourself? Are you a real person??
Literally none of these obscure scenarios you’re trying to come up with even need a blockchain solution. You should recognize how hard you’re trying to justify this as it being a dumb fuck solution. Despite all these issues you’re apparently inventing, we use our existing technology every day and none of these are issues. You’re coming off more like ChatGPT then a normal person.
Yes there is??? Do you know what a read receipt is?
Again, storing messages on the blockchain is a fucking terrible idea. I don’t need to store the dumb memes my friends send to each other eternally on the blockchain, nor does anyone give a shit. If it’s important enough to want to be saved, you do this new technique called a damn backup.
I don’t want to open myself up to my key getting hacked and my entire life history’s messages getting leaked. I don’t want to open myself to someone stealing my device where my key is stored and having indefinite access to all my past, present, and future data. I don’t want to leave my data publicly available with all the metadata and message sizes to see for any unknown third parry, and to who is being sent what to whom. I don’t want to be vulnerable to potential encryption breaking techniques in the future. I don’t want to deal with the gas cost, the huge amount of latency that would make real time chat unviable, and the insane amount of overhead to solve an already solved problem with an objectively worse solution in every possible way.
These are problems that don’t need to be solved with blockchain. Every problem you’re suggesting has been solved decades ago and for absolutely free. You are dense as hell and aren’t even attempting to look at the already existing technology that has already solved this. Fuck out of here crypto bro.
Buddy wait until you hear about pgp keys or identity keys in general. No ponzi scheme and tree burning required!
Again, there’s always a solution that’s better and doesn’t need the blockchain. Blockchain is literally never the answer unless you’re trying to kill the environment and scam others all in one go.
p2p has no middle man. There’s nothing to go out. Blockchain is a literal plague, especially in this scenario when a simple database can handle this. MXIDs already provide distinct usernames. Preferences are often stores client side.
You do not need to burn a tree, push a Ponzi scheme, and make this data permanently public to solve this. That is a terrible idea, and any solution you come up with will be always better without a Blockchain.
Fuck no. What is better is p2p, or federated. No Blockchain is needed, and this is one of those examples where Blockchain is jammed into something where it really doesn’t need to be, nor should it be. The last thing we want is for our encrypted messages be permanently stored. Element is federated, and they’re working on getting it to be p2p. Some nerd will probably mention XMPP too.
You’re given a very reasonable and next to no effort choice. You’re choosing against that and choosing to hurt yourself by not picking that option. Except in this case you’re also hurting others around you. It’s like you’re suggesting it’s the grounds fault that she died when she choose to launch herself off the cliff, she could’ve just taken the paved road for no effort.
That comparison makes no sense lol. You can get a vaccine for zero downsides at any point in time with next to no inconvenience. And you compare that to someone dying of lung cancer?? Especially when lungs are extremely limited and they are clearly showing they don’t care. You can’t say the same about the other comparisons you’ve made and that’s why it makes no sense.
For most computer stuff, whatever has the best Linux support, because Linux is the operating system I use btw
