1/ "Fits at Chess" might seem like a punchline, but it's a real health concern 🧠. I've been exploring research papers on the negative effects of #Chess on well-being, societies, and ecosystems, and found the first report of chess triggering #epilepsy from 1965. #NorwayChess Image
2/ These cases fall into a category of reflex #epilepsy - seizures are activated by specific, identifiable triggers. Such triggers can be external (flashing lights, hot water 🚿), internal (emotions, thought 💭), or a mix of both.
#chess #NorwayChess #neuroscience #brain Image
3/ Among reflex #epilepsies, the most common are those triggered by visual stimuli or light changes (1 in 4,000). Much rarer triggers include eating 🍎, music 🎵(1:10 M), writing ✍️, orgasm 💋 and even lying. #Chess, other #boardgames, and #cards can also trigger seizures. Image

With #smartcontracts on the scalable and feeless #Shimmer network, we will see the rise of frictionless, decentralized and scalable #web3 economies. 🚀

We gathered our six major use cases for you! 🧵👇
1) Energy management

Shimmer is well suited for energy markets, real-time data management and moving #carboncredit or #renewable energy certificates without transaction costs.
2) Digital Identity

Shimmer is ideal for #NFTs, native tokens and smart contracts to interact with digital identities. Identities can control other identities, which enables flexible modeling.

#geopolitical tedium is not for me. I like the world of ordinary matter and energy (and physics and chemistry and all of it) far too much. I like tools and instruments and equipment, and knowing how to use them. fretting about #Russia or #China is not my highest priority.

(1/x)
yet American #politics and political #media have completely inundated popular culture—because @jack Dorsey and #MarkZuckerberg permitted the politicization of #Internet #socialmedia. on specious grounds they kicked down the door between "public" and "private" online.

now, both @TheDemocrats and the @GOP, both @UKLabour and the @Conservatives, and political parties and political figures all over the world freely do business in full public view; @elonmusk openly conspires with @mtaibbi and @lhfang and @bariweiss in full public view.

1/ AIRDROP HUNT 🪂

𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗚𝗘

(AIRDROP NOT CONFIRMRD it's a strategy 😉)

@BeamerBridge is a 🌉 between rollups with world-class user experience:
exact amounts, nearly instant transfers, and all the same security as #Ethereum L1

#airdrops #airdrop Image
2/ Beamer enables users to transfer ERC20 assets between EVM compatible rollups, without going via L1
Testnet part has already been done last year and this bridge is currently in mainnet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you miss the testnet? Maybe
Did you miss a great airdrop opportunity? Maybe not 😊🎁
3/ Since Jan 18th 📆 the new Beamer L2 wormhole just opened.

Kind of a ‘space highway’ that interconnects rollups, including #Arbitrum One and Optimism, now allowing you to bridge USDC from/to Arbitrum as well 🔥 Image

According to Matthew Ball, the reasons for the decrease in spending on US gaming include inflation causing a decrease in discretionary spending, fewer gaming hours post-COVID, and a limited number of major game releases.

Doing a deep dive into #EducationalGames, trying to figure out how to incorporate learning into entertainment games, not the other way around, which is usually the case with #SeriousGames. A thread of screams from the deep end. 🧵
Let's start from the end: what do we want to achieve? Often, we want to teach notions, which is not the easiest but can be done with some thought. A recent good example is Pentiment, an engaging mystery RPG deeply grounded in medieval history. Or maybe… pentiment.obsidian.net A screenshot from the game Pentiment.
… we want to teach skills, trickier but doable — here's a list of examples web.archive.org/web/2023011810…

What is @Treasure_DAO? What is @playbridgeworld? How does @Treasure_DAO keep all of their long list of connected games cohesive (hint: $MAGIC)? In this #visualthread, we will discuss how @Treasure_DAO aims to be the ‘decentralized gaming ecosystem’.
2/ Let’s take a brief overview of the whole @Treasure_DAO ecosystem. Multiple NFTs and #games are connected to Treasure, but at its core, stands @playbridgeworld.

Complete list of @Treasure_dao cartridges:

DO WE REALLY NEED SCISSORS IN ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS?
or
What is the minimum number of elements in rock-paper-scissors like systems and why?
#gamedev #gamedesign #gamebalance #games
1/18 Image
RPS is often used in video games. Such systems are perfectly balanced but don’t make options in a game equal in power.
2/18 Image
What the RPS-like systems do instead, is they make each option’s power a relative concept, dependent on a situation. This adds a layer to players' decisions and a sequence of interesting decisions is what makes good games!

I just tested Covid+ & I'm shivering with a 102F fever, but I'm still prompting🚀

Here's my exploration on "#badges". LMK what you think (hopefully that will make me feel better 🥰💪)

Mega-thread 🧵 w. short explanations but excellent style consistency.

100% #AI-generated
Badges. The "trophies/achievements" awarded to players. Ubiquitous in many games. Sometimes highly esteemed.

I trained SD on various badges (from "Graphic River", to which I have a subscription). I'm looking for very intricate patterns.

Here's a first run (prompt: "a badge").
Because of the skull in the batch above, I tried "badge, skull, symmetrical , realistic, intricately detailed, beautiful, 3D render"

And here are the skulls.💀

[1/7] Es kann schon davon ausgegangen werden, dass das zusätzliche #XRPL Volumen sehr viel höher sein wird als erwartet. (Besonders am Anfang)

Ernstzunehmende Vorsicht wurde bereits vor Monaten durch z.B. @rippleitinNZ ausgesprochen, bezüglich der Stabilität des #XRPL.
[2/7] Im Vordergrund sollte stets die Funktionstüchtigkeit der #Payments und die Stabilität des Ledgers stehen. Sind diese elementaren Bausteine gefährdet, ist Vorsicht geboten. 🧐
[3/7] Laut den Testergebnissen von @nbougalis auf dem Blog von @RippleXDev sind "optimistische" zusätzliche 384 TPS zu erwarten, allein für das Minting.

Man kann also allen #XLS20 "#Mintern" nur anraten, vielleicht nicht sofort ab der ersten Sekunde in die Tasten zu hauen. RippleXDEV NFT Minting TPS Overview

1/ #blockchaingaming is here to stay .@AxieInfinity has trailblazed #playandearn #nftgames, but it’s also a natural target for anyone against #NFTs and #web3 #blockchain games. This hostility is unwarranted, unfair and often without the benefit of facts and context.
🧵👇
2/ .@AxieInfinity remains one of the most played #NFT games in the world with the following metrics:

771,000 monthly-active on-chain users
370,000 weekly-active on-chain users
2.3 million Axie holders
4 million Ronin wallet downloads $AXS $RON #blockchaingames
3/ The financial strength of @AxieInfinity is starkly evident, with current FDV close to $4B (it listed at $27M). It not only weathered a major hack but also repaid all losses to affected players, a testament to its durability and care for the community. roninblockchain.substack.com/p/the-ronin-br…

@Garbaj2 This issue is sadly nothing new: Some #Games [i.e. @CallofDuty:#ModermWarfare3] have certain weapons [i.e. the RSASS] that have no fire rate limit ingame.

@Garbaj2 @CallofDuty Seriously, #MW3 is absolutely unbalaced:
@Garbaj2 @CallofDuty To the point that it allows firing guns faster than they can cycle in real life.

#SoYouWannaCreateTTRPG?
Don’t worry about being original.
Plagiarism is stealing from one source. Originality is stealing from many.
Making a perfect copy is humanely impossible. Seek #Inspiration whenever you can find it.

1/4
Remember that #Inspiration is active though.
Play different #Games (#TTRPG, #Videogame, #BoardGame, just play).
Watch weird stuff (#Movies, #TVseries, #Documentaries).
Read #Books (#Fiction, #NonFiction, #Fantasy, #Crime, #Horror).
Just watch people (great for #NPCs).

2/4
Don’t worry too much about what’s good and bad. Look for stuff to steal, modify, reinterpret, corrupt.
A game you don’t like to play may teach you something yet.
A movie you don’t care about might have a cool character.
Keep your eyes open. We don’t see a lot.
