Brilliant advertising. That could be me!

In which market is Steam a monopoly?

If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I’d be cool with that.

That eyeball cable needs a little more slack.

If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.

In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.

It’s surprising the psychological difference of “net seventeen people think you’re an asshole” vs “twenty people think you’re an asshole, but three people get you”.

This suggestion makes you a crypto influencer now.

Hey what if instead of free adblock, we charged people for it? Also I’ll use a little bit of the profits to try banning gay marriage.

Limited leaning, for the people who won’t stop trying to walk through virtual walls.

Back in my day it was called “Last Man Standing”.

All I do in chats now is post a link to the Discord channel where chatting won’t get you kicked.

In hindsight it’s sad how very right he was. Now when I think “I want to send Alice a message”, I just go to the app I know will work, instead of trying to remember if Alice still uses Signal too.

Man, we need mesh networks yesterday. I don’t care if it’s slow, I just want them to get out of my face.

Corkyskog’s suggestion would make it actually brag-worthy. Just being rich in real life doesn’t necessarily require effort. I’m way more impressed by a full endgame set in Diablo II.

Well, I guess as long as it’s good for the economy.

Omg I’ve been destroyed

If they’re already okay with IP in general, then it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. The whole thing is imaginary, arbitrary, and couldn’t exist without the King’s government.

Why do you want to steal from the king? :-P
