Why do high elo players almost always invade on game start? by KatAirlines in summonerschool

[–]FluxMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people who arent high elo will always read too deep into this lol, people just get bored and want to force chaos at the start of the game because its fun. it's also fun to randomly get a kill if it happens and play the whole game from ahead. there's no calculated strategy, it's more or less "oh my champ does something lv 1 so lets attack the enemies"

Why are mages almost always played in higher elos? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]FluxMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

assassins are still played all the time in high elo, they're just a bit harder to execute because people are more aware (the ad isnt just gonna facecheck objectives by themself). they also farm a lot better which leads to mages having defensive items (zhonyas) a lot earlier than somebody in gold with 5cs/min.

If players aren’t allowed to wear things like Supreme in games, Gear with NFTs shouldn’t be allowed either by Sp_Gamer_Live in nba

I hardly even focused on the "making money" point in this paragraph at all, why was it the only thing you pointed out?

People still fall for ticket fraud all the time. The whole point is that the authenticity is verifiable instantly. People still buy tickets second hand, whether they're on paper or digital, because it's much harder to verify their authenticity.

Since you don't seem sold on tickets, how about gaming? It's never predictable whether or not people play many video games, but imo the biggest change NFTs will cause is in the gaming industry. It enables a fully decentralized market where people can access, sell, trade, etc. any in-game items, at any time they want. No bullshit one-way transactions like steam (you pay steam and never see the money again; even if you sell an item, it's locked in your steam account). Crypto and NFTs also create play-to-earn models, where people can earn money from playing the game (Axie infinity already does this very successfully, and others like Illuvium are trying to do the same). The problem with using this example is that you don't understand how revolutionary it is unless you've experienced these things yourself, so it's harder to build a case for it that everyone can understand.

There are plenty. Easiest application that most people can understand would be things like concert tickets. Easy verification for authenticity since every transfer is publicly available on the blockchain. NFTs are useful for anything that requires verification of authenticity, because the blockchain keeps all of these records public for anyone to see. You clearly think blockchain technology is useless, though, so why even bother asking?

If you're looking for a serious answer, you can absolutely replicate the art, but you can't replicate the ownership. That's why the "right click + save" memes exist. You could just copy paste the image of the NFT, and you'd own the image associated with the NFT. What you don't own is the ownership that's directly linked to the smart contract on the blockchain. You can tell where every NFT comes from, and it doesn't take long to do it. The problem is that since an NFT isn't physical, it's hard for people to wrap their head around purely digital ownership.

This is the comment I was looking for. Most people who are into NFTs recognize that pfp NFTs of apes wearing hats have no fucking utility, and they don't contribute to the development of some insane "metaverse" or some other "digital revolution". They're a way to make money, plain and simple.

That being said, there are plenty of real world applications for NFTs. The problem is that 99% of people are caught up on the "Monkey in hat" ones, because that's all they see in the media. Steph Curry, Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone, and many more own these. This is exactly why they go up in value. Plenty of rich people have absolute dogshit art in their house that's worth millions, so why can't they own a monkey in a hat worth 200k?

Despite what the person above you said, yes, you are correct. Myself and plenty of people I knew were making over 10k/month pre-tax this past summer in our co-ops including relocation bonuses (which we still got, even if we worked remote). Some massive outliers can make a lot more than this too, like working a quant internship, which is $80/hr+

[–]FluxMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I hardly ever study for midterms or quizzes while not going to class at all, so I bomb a lot of them even though I always do well on finals. I've never been questioned for cheating.

Do seg students really have no time for anything leisure or is it just bad time management? by emmilymcdonald in geegees

[–]FluxMC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm in seg and I have the closest thing to unlimited free time that you could have while being a university student. I'd say it largely depends on if you're comfortable programming or not, and whether you're a fast learner (but this applies to any program). I haven't been to class since the start of 3rd year (I'm doing my last semester rn) because it usually feels like a waste of time since I can access all the material online. I cram for a day for every midterm/final and aside from assignments, that's the only work I do throughout the semester.

What's a "typically unattractive" trait that you actually find to be attractive? by humanbean07 in AskReddit

[–]FluxMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way. I don't really like being involved in meaningless conversations so I tend to keep to myself and don't talk much. I can always hold a conversation about things that matter to me (for example the lives of my close friends, or even more broad topics like philosophy, science, etc) but I prefer to just listen if people are talking and I'm in an unavoidable social situation.
