Cryptovania (The Jimquisition)

Konami is the publisher y'all just love to hate, and recently it's jumped aboard a bandwagon held in equal contempt by decent people everywhere - NFTs!  

Yes, nobody could be surprised that one of gaming's most pathetically cynical publishers would go all crypto on us, so let's just tear into Konami once again, shall we?

Rationalwiki has a pretty good article on NFTs for those who still don't understand what they are (they're literally nothing, but if you need more explaining than that, it's a good start)

That was useful, thanks! I struggled to comprehend what NFTs were but I think I get it now.

Not sure how Mozilla accepting donations in crypto since 2019 (or 2015) is similar to these gaming companies selling NFTs. But might be biased there. Get better soon.

Mozilla ceasing to accept donations in crypto is related to other companies walking back their forays into the crypto markets. That was why it was brought up.

But can I play pachinko with nfts? Or an nft pachinko machine... by Konami.

I genuinely like vocable. It's distinct from vocal, more succinct than communicable (while conveniently avoiding the health-related sense), and doesn't have the awkward wrongness that a similar neologism like "speakable" has. And apparently it's "already" a word (in the sense it has a dictionary entry; not arguing for linguistic gatekeeping here, to be clear). I shall henceforth use vocable. Thanks for the new word <3
