mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: "The end result is the first of its kind: << these fucktards. they really imagine that if you put a "delicious" label on canned shit it'll be a delicious can of shit.
mircea_popescu: cgcardona: no more monopoly money?! << it changes each quarter
mircea_popescu: you'll be happy if i sell her to a dozen other dudes, too,
mircea_popescu: i dun think it was ever more than a few dozen people on
mircea_popescu: pankkake so you hate altcoins or just the altcoin makers ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake but if everyone does then... everyone has to be alone neh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well yeah but i think he meant besides that
mircea_popescu: pankkake wtf everyone run his own universe, 4ever alone
mircea_popescu: open source can't traditionalyl afford to pay financier fat cats to look at the stuff
mircea_popescu: anyway, my entire point is that your "well you could squeeze the balls harder, get more $$$" is not actyually a valid argument.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to come back to some track. i don't believe in forcing people to pay, my idea of peddling games is not modeled on peddling heroin.
mircea_popescu: see, the less control a thing attempts to project, the more difficult to kill it gets.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you gotta comply with some regulations to camwhore now !?
mircea_popescu: prolly someone will figure it out first, then write a guide,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i imagine you should be able to. it may be complicated but i don't think so. it's defionitely not deliberately obfuscated.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't see why niot. the client is open source anyway.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is a fucking game currency trying to spill over into irl.
mircea_popescu: but to some degree... style may also be an emergent property of groups
mircea_popescu: KLYE anyway, they don't have to be in the same room specifically, if you don't intend them to do group work.
mircea_popescu: this from a very demanding and in depth art perspective.
mircea_popescu: so very much coherence of style is a bridge too far in all cases anyway.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves however, to round that point : no modern game can feasibly made by exactly 1 person. practical games are made by teams, and a lot of content is needed. as the game goes through its cycle, the teams change anyway.
mircea_popescu: but eventually you gotta follow through, it's what business is built on.
mircea_popescu: "please make everything look like heroes series, mp loved those
mircea_popescu: KLYE not really much to explain. if i ask you and you say you got a harem o' girls, you gotta have them then.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves there's a lot to discuss on this point, but i think style may emerge.
mircea_popescu: gotta be very careful not to use words you can't back, in this rap biz :p
mircea_popescu: KLYE the difference between a harem and anything else is that the harem does things on the spot.
mircea_popescu: much like kyle's camho biz does not need super cameras as much as it needs super eager sluts.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the current thinking is that if by style guide you mean, that the same hand visibly had designed everything, that that's a luxury we don't want to afford
mircea_popescu: have this local harem strip and hold a sign saying "hello mp!".
mircea_popescu: nothing bad about it, these happen. that's why "forced"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, true, for the purposes and in the constraints they had they did great. i still think it a forced mistake.
mircea_popescu: but i don't believe the best way to achieve that is through half-assing the marketplace design.
mircea_popescu: yes. but strategically, do i want to encourage a few good people to make a few good skins as you call them
