DC Turner @dcturner. Jun 7 I Quick demonstration: how absurd is the crypto dream of sharing items between multiple videogames? To understand the absurdity of the claim, lets look at some established, standardised forms of media... O 2 27 1 DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 1) Music. The Western harmonic model consists of 12 semitones, commonly arranged into patterns of 7 (8 if you include the octave at the top of a scale). What happens when you take data from one piece of music and drop it into another? 8 1 DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 * The key might not match. * The tempo might not match. * The motifs and phrasing are unrelated, so the transplanted data doesn't feel cohesive. * The composers might be in direct competition, so not interested in collaboration. (I'm sure you can think of a few more issues) Q 1 27 27 DC Turner @dcturner. Jun 7 ^ All of this can go wrong, and music is an incredibly simple standardised system. 1 Any musical pitch can "work", given the correct context, and a lot of notes are shared across scales, but still - if you transplant data arbitrarily, it doesn't work. DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 Example 2) Written English 26 letters, a finite set of words, and a lot of shared connections and acceptable ambiguities. Can you arbitrarily take data from one book and drop it into another? Nope, it's gibberish. Even with a standardised set of rules, the transplant fails... Q 1 27 27 DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 So what would happen if you tried to transplant data between non- standardised systems? The data makes even less sense, to the point of being noise. It's like expecting two alien civilisations to have compatible languages. 9 1 27 Noise. DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 This is how software works - a closed system of instructions that generate the illusion of a cohesive experience. The game entities don't persist in the source code, you can't take a lump of data out and call that "Mario" 9 1 27 ↑ DC Turner @dcturner. Jun 7 This would happen. DC Turner @dcturner Jun 7 "Mario" is not one thing, but rather a collection of disparate information - a model, some audio, a specific interpretation between controller inputs and a physics engine 5 Even if there was a discrete "Mario" object, what would happen if you passed that to a different game? Q 1 27 3 1 ♡ Game A knows nothing about the data conventions of game B. Without bespoke support, the data is junk. To assume otherwise requires a profound misunderstanding of software. 27 ^ None of this could or should happen 27 DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 There is no universal game engine, no consistent model of physics, no standardised way of creating characters or game entities. Developers use whatever approach works best for their project. To put it another way; WRECK IT RALPH is not a documentary. 27 1 1 DC Turner @dcturner. Jun 7 To achieve interoperability between software, several (fatal) limitations are required; It's proprietary because it has to be. RANT ENDS O * Developers are not in competition * Developers all use the same engine * Developers structure their data according to a strict set of industry rules 1 ↑ ♡ 1 27 ♡ 7 DC Turner @dcturner - Jun 7 The closest thing I have seen to the Crypto dream of interoperability is Nintendo's Amiibo system. Certain games support certain IDs representing characters. This is only possible under the umbrella of a single governing entity - Nintendo. 27 ↑ 1 DC Turner @dcturner. Jun 7 A distributed ledger makes no sense in the Amiibo ecosystem because everything flows through Nintendo. It's cheaper and easier to work privately. 1 ↑ ↑

FLAPPY BIRD omg hell no!!!!!! NFT IS SUPER DEAD AND DON'T DO IT IT'S ANOTHER NFT SCAM AND ABOUT ALL IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CREATOR OF THE ORIGINAL GAME

GIMME A NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN OF THE CONTENTS OF YOUR WALLET! OKAY! OKAY! I... WAIT, WOULD YOU ALSO LIKE ALL THESE DOLLARS? SAY, THAT'S A NICE LOOKIN' WATCH. YOU THINK I WANT YOUR WORTHLESS FIAT MONEY?! GIMME A STRING OF CHARACTERS REPRESENTING THAT I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO OWNS THE STRING OF CHARACTERS PERTAINING TO YOUR WATCH! ONE DAY, IN THE FUTURE... NFTS WERE CONTROVERSIAL AT FIRST, BUT THE RATE OF CRIME-ABOUT-WHICH-YOU-SHOULD-GIVE-A-S--- WENT TO ZERO ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. smbc-comics.com

Swift Thomas Ricouard @dimillian@mastodon.social Your NFT Blockchain b-------? Pokemon had it all figured out 25 years ago. Trainer and Pokémon unique IDs. Decentralized cartridges. Offline wallets. Attachable data (items). All Pokemon are tradable and can be checked for authenticity. Modern tech solved nothing.
