Cryptovania (The Jimquisition)
Added 2022-01-10 13:56:03 +0000 UTCKonami is the publisher y'all just love to hate, and recently it's jumped aboard a bandwagon held in equal contempt by decent people everywhere - NFTs!
Yes, nobody could be surprised that one of gaming's most pathetically cynical publishers would go all crypto on us, so let's just tear into Konami once again, shall we?

2022-01-12 21:08:01 +0000 UTCI can’t remember what game it was, but a developer who was going to make NFTs changed their minds when there was backlash to the announcement. It might have been a combination of that and stores like Steam no longer allowing NFT games, but there is push back against this stuff and it seems to be growing.

2022-01-11 13:30:31 +0000 UTCMozilla ceasing to accept donations in crypto is related to other companies walking back their forays into the crypto markets. That was why it was brought up.

2022-01-10 21:19:38 +0000 UTCRationalwiki has a pretty good article on NFTs for those who still don't understand what they are (they're literally nothing, but if you need more explaining than that, it's a good start)

2022-01-10 20:24:49 +0000 UTCNot sure how Mozilla accepting donations in crypto since 2019 (or 2015) is similar to these gaming companies selling NFTs. But might be biased there. Get better soon.

2022-01-10 15:44:12 +0000 UTCI genuinely like vocable. It's distinct from vocal, more succinct than communicable (while conveniently avoiding the health-related sense), and doesn't have the awkward wrongness that a similar neologism like "speakable" has. And apparently it's "already" a word (in the sense it has a dictionary entry; not arguing for linguistic gatekeeping here, to be clear). I shall henceforth use vocable. Thanks for the new word <3
