also an interesting writeup on wired

https://www.wired.com/story/bitcoin-global-warming/

Right now, the hash algorithm is useless work, intentionally. It's burned. How about making it do something useful? It's a P2P network doing collaborative computation. What about making it find signals from aliens, or figure out how to make proteins useful to medical science, or solve real-world crypto problems and prime factorization? And but no. “I'll tell you why that didn't happen, and it's perverse,” Sirer says. “Had bitcoin been mined by doing something useful, then there would be a correspondence between useful work and the number of bitcoins you get … That creates a mental anchor point in people's mind for how much a bitcoin should cost.”

...

The declining rewards put a cap on the total number of bitcoins that can ever be in the world. It's 21 million, and the current trend line leads to them being nearly all mined out around 2032.2 Once that happens, transaction fees will be the only reward built into the system. Some other cryptocurrencies, maybe more energy-efficient ones, will start looking more competitive. Right now, bitcoin looks increasingly like a tool for speculation rather than a viable, mainstream currency. And one scientific law that math, physics, and economics all share is this: Bubbles pop.

This is awesome. The animation of the boy is so smooooooth! Though I'm stuck and feel like I need 3 screwdrivers in 3 different sizes or so...

Sisyphus Reborn is amazing game.

oh yes!
The video has 2 thumbs up with 3 views! That ratio is okay! Thanks! <3
There is a collectors edition of Sisyphus Reborn on steam, just saying

Limbo is a really awesome game, I love every second of it! Maybe it is a comparison to life in general, sometimes learning hurts and you have to give sacrifices to find out what is really going on

I was just checking the btc value and see this:



if I hadn't sold what I don't need already I'd panic. Though it is just some wrong display probably, but maybe a sign? Thought I'd share. Even though I know Photoshop and html there is no manipulation involved in that screenshot!


edit: refreshing the charts now this dent looks normal again. Was it a sign?

This is a nice script, but imho this should be the default behaviour of the engine

This is going to be great! And the poster is awesome!
But the upper border of the png is not blurred out like the rest of the borders and has a (semi)sharp edge to it...

It is indeed!
Also check out Patchwork! A really great game!

Some more months have passed and some more Adventure game longplays have been recorded



Jump to the best youtube channel with the link above and click that subscribe button and/or leave some thumbs up or if one of the vids sucks gimme the thumb down (but you won't need that thumb down!)



Educating Adventures of Girl & Rabbit

You play the innocent girl in a bright and fantastic world that meets the bitter and sarcastic rabbit called bunny the rabbit. She wants to call him rainbow but he smacks her for it. Prepare for lots of smacking until your learn your lessons about life one way or the other. No aspect of modern dysfunctional life is left out and no eye stays dry with all this upfront mayhem! A really educational game! Enjoy!

Sisyphus Reborn
Sisyphus Reborn takes you on a journey to a surreal lone land where everyone is digging and noone questions the endless uselessness of being and digging. You enter the voids of this vast land and try to make sense of all the nicely woven in philosophical concepts and ideas.
The land of Sisyphus reborn might be what the afterlife is like, and everyone is digging their own grave for all eternity. Gladly the game is completely in black and white to get that desparate feeling of emptyness across!
The great soundtrack (Like the whole game also by Edwin Montgomery) adds all so more to the experience that is Sisyphus Reborn.

At #32:52 you can peek into what the Collector's Edition offers.

Patchwork

If you haven't played this, play it now, don't get spoiled by the video!

Patchwork tells the Story of 2 different people from 2 very different worlds getting together and living through an exciting adventure in a fantasy world. The beautiful backgrounds and fluid animations by Ivan Ulyanov, who also paints the character portraits for various Wadjet Eye Games, work really well at pulling you into the story and the strange but somehow familiar world of Lin and her funny fellow people.
The 2 playable characters could interacts more or solve some tricky puzzle together but the chracter switch works and you should play both characters immediately, go play that game!

This is awesome.

+n!

Great Theme!
Finally it's time to actually do that blank white screen pixelhunt game where you have to find the one pixel in #fefefe color in 4k resolution... anyone interested in doing the art for my groundbreaking (it's in ultraHD!) pixelhunt project?

Here you go.

Here. I can't wait till the next Molyjam!

Great! Now we need an awesome white logo on a white background and lots of invisible animation frames and it's a game!

You can always store your crypto currency on your own wallet or in cold storage, you don't have to (and very much shouldn't) trust a startup internet company to handle your riches all the time.
Though I haven't found a monero wallet, only websites that offer wallets but I don't trust these for reasons mentioned by CaptainD a few posts above.

Wow, this looks awesome! Good luck with your project!
<3 that game logo!

Let me test this cute game too. It was fun in the OROW version already

cool, congrats on that lorenzo.
Considering that, lorenzo should have the honour of hosting and selecting the theme of the next blitz.

Hmmmm, guess what, I'm also very very busy, but then, hosting the contest is fun and you don't have to draw anything in that timeframe anyways, let the others draw, let's see if I find an interesting theme...

Great idea and fun execution of the idea. Though it would be a better experience with some check so that in one round no double questions appear.

Wheeeeeee, this game is fun
The smooth scrolling is awesome and the controls with normal physics are great to handle. I still have to get warm with the wild physics... the character portraits are a nice touch and the rest of the graphics are also fantastic. The rocks look so crunchy

I recorded my best times up to now in normal physics. Also I got stuck in the wall right at the start of the race and of the video
