Which looks like a bug rather than a feature, the level of deflation bitcoin has make it an usable as a money.

I am rather having regular raise while my mortgage stay the same thanks to inflation than seeing my pay diminish thanks to deflation while my mortgage stays the same

Not video gaming, but the Eclipse phase Rpg went pretty far in that theme, with cortical stack, clones, people living in Virtual spaces and more.

I would recommend the official Fate port, as the main system is way too heavy

• GPS receiver are passive device, they do not transmit your position. However, we’ve seen in Ukraine and middle-east that GPS are easy to jam.

• As other have stated ham radio are simple to build, long range, and reliable. However, once you emmit it’s fairly easy to pinpoint your position

• I am not sure why Local peer to peer network haven’t been a thing. i am old enough to remember the era where we had network cable hanging from the windows of student residency to build a kind of building-wide LAN, looks so much easier with wifi

• Be careful with encrypted mobile phones, The Enro-chat network let the police listen to drug-lord in clear for like 2 years leading to a massive arrest. I believe it requewstd a huge work for the police to arrest them, but they’ve done-it Encryption may still help though, just don’t over estimate the budget government can put to break-it if needed (let alone all the backdoors in commercial-grade devices).

• Pigeon, dead-drop, and courrier are very efficient, it doesn’t look as cool as space hacker. but this works

Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two

Technically, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim worship the same “God”. And have a big corpus of common texts and prophet (at the point the Koran talks a lot about Jesus) their religious differences are mostly about “interpretation” but they have way more similiarities than conservative of either religion like to admit

the trick is that the big block of Abrahamic monotheism is like the major monotheist religion. Then you have various polytheist pantheon having a mother earth figure but I don’t know them enough to know how major/female would be amateratsu or patchamama Neo-Pagan also tend to worship a Godess However, it’s a kind of made-up underground religion more than a major traditional one.

In the 70’s fuel was cheap.

Nowadays, if I need to let the engine run for an hour, I can go to a michelin star restaurant for the same price. (OK it’s an over statement, but there is definitely cheaper and more optimal way to cook a meal on the road)

Might be more suited for !rpg@ttrpg.network.

The way I would understand it is the good old You are the chosen ones, and you need to absolutely get XXXX by killing monsters to prevent the doom of ZZZZ

So just a way to make PC use their ressources. It’s the kind of stuff which work in old-school RPG were ressource attrititon is a full part of the game. Modern RPG tend to drift away from the fight monsters in dungeon and removed or simplified the ressource management aspect (I love how Blade in the Dark let you declare your equipment on the fly rather than having long discussion about what you bring, save a lot of time for the players)

First question, why would we want monetization? people do amateur theatre, short movies for fun, volunteer do coach kids sport for fun so the whole society doesn’t have to be commercial, and even Wikipedia is mostly ran by volunteers.

I mean sure, federated instance and some authors may get government grant for culture (which would be better spend than for commercial movies, or all the government money spent in AI) but not monetizing won’t prevent people from contributing
