ThickAsThieves: omg i'm in
the middle of making an AM
trade deal with ... a GIRL
mjr_: that bitches about bad
trades
jborkl: mpoe-pr already has
that job
mjr_: jborkl:
that gives me
the best idea ever
jborkl: yeah,
t least
the bots don't bitch on
the forum
jborkl: some control emotions better
than others
jborkl: and SD is up big for
the month so far..
pixilatedbtc: this sounds more like "how much
the alternatives suck"
than "how good it is" + nobody criticises fire for being dangerous (or no sane person), but
there are
tons of protections against it @ mircea_popescu>
the model itself is amply criticised, which imo just shows how good it is (much like
the fact
that fire is so dangerous shows how useful it actually is, since we still use it)
jborkl: yeah,
that sounds like fun
jborkl: they want
to be cool and hash, but
they are
too scared
jborkl: naw, it's
the wanna be stoners
imsaguy: like stoners will have
the patience for
that
jborkl: Look, you could develop a "hash" game. Market it
to retards with graphics cards - $19.99 for
the game and
they walk around a little and pick shit up.
they earn in game pot by "hashing"
pixilatedbtc: mircea_popescu
thanks for
the more detailed info, will have
to research
this a bit more
mircea_popescu: i humbly submit
the goat is merely a slave (and ocasional victim) of
the obvious.
pixilatedbtc: imsaguy ahahaha,
those
that make money is good enough for me
imsaguy: mircea_popescu: you're starting
to compete with Chaang-Noi for master of
the obvious
imsaguy: I can speak assholish
too, but I don't
think my above comment was structured as such.
TomServo: Understood. I
thought you were implying
the model was a requirement.
imsaguy: Can I be
the official
translator?
imsaguy: only
the ones
that make money
imsaguy: he doesn't want
to manage
them all
mircea_popescu: the model itself is amply criticised, which imo just shows how good it is (much like
the fact
that fire is so dangerous shows how useful it actually is, since we still use it)
mircea_popescu: TomServo
there are ocasional games published independently, sure. which is why when he asked me if " do you mean you're
trying
to manage all btc-related games
to be developed?" i said no lol.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: Doesn't Minecraft (only example I could
think of) exist outside
that model?
mircea_popescu: electronic arts doesn't CREATE games. it just manages
the studios
that do.
pixilatedbtc: mircea_popescu hmmmm, good point, I would not claim
that, I have only a little exposure
to indie dev and parts of game development (from a dev perspective, not management) + of course, playing
jborkl: anyone want 175 AM options on btct - name
the strike and
time frame, I will give you a price
pixilatedbtc: Chaang-Noi, if you don't mind me asking, what are you involved in with BTC? I saw you are quite active on
the forum
too, but I did not yet read
too much
there
pixilatedbtc: lol, it's
true
that I did not really go
through
the logs of
this chan yet, but I guess
there was not much
time for
too much discussion on minigame yet anyway
Chaang-Noi: its newer
than
the ideas of rainbows and unicorns
Chaang-Noi: dont risk more
than you never want
to see again
Chaang-Noi: honestly you are
the first person i have seen
to
talk about
that "investment"
Chaang-Noi: invest with mp and all
the days will be like sunshine
Chaang-Noi: why do you seem like a smart chap? you are asking all
the right questions about
the right investments
pixilatedbtc: hmmmm, isn't
that (the silver guy/game guy
thing) about believing he has a certain set of skills in addition
to basic "trusting" he will essentially not run away with
the money?
Chaang-Noi: sometimes "investments" are
tricky so you
think you are getting something you really are not
Chaang-Noi: i dont
think you will understand
this one, if you do i dont
think you will invest
pixilatedbtc: maybe it's not how everybody does it, but I have
to understand, lol
pixilatedbtc: it's just
that I have
to understand how it is supposed
to work
too
pixilatedbtc: Chaang-Noi well, if I am
to buy shares of something, I clearly have
to
trust
those running
the
thing first
Chaang-Noi: you have
to really
trust who is directing
the money in
these
type of projects
ThickAsThieves: i see it as an effort
to raise money
to put into gaming dev, and
then lets see what happens
pixilatedbtc: back
to minigames: as far as I know, ideas are nothing as such - it's how
they are implemented (generally speaking, not
talking about games only here)
that makes
the difference, but so again I'm not sure how is minigame going
to work
Chaang-Noi: <mircea_popescu> you kidding ? i do plenty of stuff in
the dutch oven. is
that gay slang?
Chaang-Noi: and
that is if im 100 miles from a women
Chaang-Noi: i only cook with open flame from wood on
the ground
Chaang-Noi: i did learn more about pans
that day
than i have ever known but still, i dont fucking cook
Chaang-Noi: you were
telling me a month ago how wonderful it was
too cook
Chaang-Noi: yes, fucking hot girls is such an effort, much more so
than getting cake
Chaang-Noi: yeah
that is better
than what i was going
to say
Chaang-Noi: most people do not fuck a girl just
to get cake
mircea_popescu: Yet I've never had
to fuck her, or even
tell her she's beautiful or anything of
the sort.
mircea_popescu: Every night she wakes up
to make me various cakes. Sometimes during
the day I go pick some up.
mircea_popescu: So in
this village I live in
there lives a girl. She's like
twenty, has fair hair, is pretty and smiles a lot.
pixilatedbtc: now I understand
the
thing with "consider I've just insulted you
terribly", lol,
that's perfectly ok
pixilatedbtc: mircea_popescu ah, sorry, I cut
the corners and
thus got myself misunderstood: I did not mean "an idea, I have an idea, wow!"
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, can anyone explain
to me why
the fuck does bitbet only pay either 40-50 or else 400-500 dividends.
mircea_popescu: the way it works is
there's a sea of ideas and very little resources / even less skill.
mircea_popescu: the way
the world works it's not yet been
the case
that
there's a group with resources and skills but so bereft of ideas
that
they're beating
the bushes looking for someone with one.
pixilatedbtc: so it's more of a way for developers
to get btc funding for game projects you mean?
ThickAsThieves: i
think he just generally want
to fund game dev projects
pixilatedbtc: ThickAsThieves I meant a game involving btc in some way in
the play
mircea_popescu: If you have a great idea consider I've just insulted you
terribly. It'll be easier for both of us.
pixilatedbtc: so if a new guy comes with an idea for a btc game, how would
this help him?
