Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3. (self.lemmyworld)

I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

The future of the internet isn't artificially scarce digital collectibles? 😲

It better be! I spent millions on jpgs of monkeys! /s

[–] kiriakos 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please tell me they weren't highly compressed jpegs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well, how are they supposed to accommodate millions of monkeys in a single file then? Huh? /s

No one tell my StarCitizen ship collection this...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are those even scarce tho

[–] Master 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, SC does this really dumb thing where they only sell some ships a few times a year and when they do sell them they sell limited batches of them... the very definition of artificial scarcity and FOMO.

But really... probably not that scarce..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

watch them turn those ships into NFTs and charge you for each one of those a second time

oh no, you can't use your old ships on the new metaverse, they're tied to your legacy account! Here, use our convenient minter service to transfer them to your web 4.0 address, for a small small fee of $50* per ship!

SC players are crazy... some of them would just rebuy 10k worth of space ships and brag about it...

I forgot it even existed. Is it a game yet or still just a series of presentations and announcements?

[–] Master 4 points 1 year ago

Its a game now, buggy as hell but a game. It can be fun but not something you can sink hundreds of hours into unless you just enjoy that sort of thing. They do free fly's every few months you can try it for free.
