trench communities are extraction cults built around price action as a form of salvation. most are engineered by false prophets who mean harm. Few ever reach escape velocity to become something greater.

@no_1_stan_acct long smoke good yes

@shadeguh I smoke Marlboro smooth 100

I’m in my office (read: my mother’s garage) smoking cigarettes with my secretary (read: my mother) reading the Brady Games Pokémon Silver/Gold Collectors Edition guidebook…

@trading_axe so desperate he took the bait. like a few others in the comments

I'll say what everyone is thinking out loud. SBF should have been the Vice President of the US right now [not JD Vance], if it weren't for FTX. With his tremendous leadership skills [he created FTX, don't forget - a feat far greater than running a country], WE could've easily prevented being in the mix with ALL of the Middle East nonsense atm. I, for one, say we should sign a petition to free him and bring him into the oval office ASAP. It is a damn shame to waste such a brilliant mind when we could be utilizing his intellect to advance America. #FreeThatNiggaSBF - LET'S GET IT TRENDING! ~ Dr. Axius.

@no_1_stan_acct bungo did good

@HedgeEconomist fun terminated

@shadeguh Nothin like dying in hardcore and immediately rolling a new character :hidethepain:

This is a great viewpoint, but misses the core of the issue. It's not the trading restriction that makes assets valuable, but the content and actual difficulty in attaining/ retaining it. A valuable item in D2 takes countless runs. Exalt Orbs in PoE are reasonably difficult to find in the needed quantities. In both games there are gray markets for purchasing these assets with real currency. However, the items on hardcore difficulties are always worth multiples of their softcore counterparts. 1. I have not seen a Web 3 game with either Diablo style loot or PoE style mod items. This is the holy grail of trading economies. The infinite chase of a perfectly rolled gear set, creates a value distro across marginally well rolled items to perfectly rolled. If you think "rare items" = diablo loot, then you don't understand the game fully. 2. Most Web 3 games are softcore with some PvP opt-in. A game with hardcore as the default mode minimizes inflation. Every session is a competition, higher rewards require higher stakes. Extracting loot is now a battle instead of a button press. 3. Currency should be emitted competitively. Copying the Web 2 model is likely failure mode. If everything you did IRL earned you USD, then the dollar would have no value. Its the same concept in games. Currency should be a battle to earn against every other player in the game. It should require assets that were risked for, time invested in, and skill put to the test. The Citadel has: - Our own versions of Diablo style loot, which includes basic rarity type items with rolled modifiers, but also our own spin on "Set", "Runeword", "Uniques", "Sockets", "Runes", "Charms" and more. - An initial variety of Path of Exile style modifiers items, so you can slam your items into higher rarity to your hearts content. (Including ship hulls) - Competition for the in-game currency through a daily emission pool, which requires sacrificing your hard earned loot. (Also serves as a large sink for all assets) - Hardcore PvPvE extraction gameplay, as you progress through higher difficulty tiers, the loot gets more valuable but so does the danger. The feeling of that first Zod rune or Divine Orb drop is something you never forget. The feeling is not just driven by the rarity itself, but by what those items allow you to do. Your game should have items which drive that same feeling.

@HedgeEconomist I haven't played hardcore but it makes sense. Death is the largest resource sink by far, plus assets are more difficult to accrue. Just totally different economic outcomes. Hey man as long as it's fun and temporary it's fine :p

@shadeguh Truth, its great to compare how quickly the softcore PoE 2 economy inflates out of control in comparison to the hardcore economy where things stay much more stable for longer. Dude the temple mechanic lmao, it'd be my fault if that happens with Citadel 😂

@0GAntD would need to look at the data but it's possible tbh. way more marketing + fees

@no_1_stan_acct @MarathonTheGame must know you're all about attention to detail. like a digitized office worker. writing markdown is a pleasure for some

Over the past 2 months @RyanWatkins_ and I have been working on our highest conviction thesis in crypto. This essay represents the culmination of all the research I’ve done over the past year. Why the perp is crypto’s greatest product, and how it can create a $300B+ sector:
