Discover and read the best of Twitter Threads about #Gamers

some feel I softball Adam Sessler here in this article,

that I wasn't harsh enough or that I was burying the story: that Adam Sessler hates gamers

here is why that is wrong
clownfishtv.com/adam-sessler-s… #adamsessler #g4tv #videogames #gamers #gaming

When I cover a story about something a subject says, I try to not only cover the story factually but I also try to keep to the spirit of the issue

From the subject's point of view, what are they trying to say here? Not only what are the comments, but what do they mean.

e.g
yes, Adam Sessler says he hates gamers,

but if U listen to when he clarifies, he says he means people that identify w/ the hobby not everyone that plays games

Yes, for most it's a meaningless distinction, but it's a distinction nonetheless & not reporting it isn't truthful

@TheBPITU

interview w/ Adam Sessler @TheBPITU is solid,

masterful in how they got Sessler to open up about topics he wasn't comfortable talking about

At times Sessler was a riot
a funny guy w/ a starring affability.

Too bad he's become so cynical,
Seems like a waste of talent😨

@italianpepsiman

Watching @italianpepsiman & @dickmasterson bring out that old Sessler shine reminds us why we loved him on X-play,

back in the day, he really was good at his job
#gamers #gaming #g4tv #adamsessler

The saddest part for me of all this,

is that Adam cannot see genuine admiration or kindness from people who actually do like him & wish him well.

@Gizmodo

Last week, @Gizmodo's @lincodega caught a killer scoop - a leake Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary @Wizards promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend #DungeonsAndDragons:

gizmodo.com/dnd-wizards-of… 1/

The report set off a shitstorm among #DandD fans and the broader #TTRPG community - not just because it was evidence of yet more #enshittification of D&D by a faceless corporate monopolist, but because Hasbro was seemingly poised to take back a #commons. 2/

RPG players and designers had built that commons over decades, having taken #WOTC and the #OGL at their word.

#Gamers were right to be worried. 3/

@TechFreedom

1/ Last week @TechFreedom explained to Congress how the Kids Online Safety Act endangers free speech *and* kids.

Yesterday, its sponsors introduced revisions: aboutbgov.com/52Q

It's better, but still pretty bad.

#KOSA simply doesn't belong in an omnibus spending bill.

https://twitter.com/AriCohn/status/1600183176487485440

2/ Age verification: We explained how KOSA's mandates would unconstitutionally require age verification for a huge part of the Internet.

The revised text tries to avoid this, primarily by narrowing its application to where a service knows *or should know* that a user is a minor.

3/ But what constitutes constructive knowledge that a user is a minor? Is it enough that the service “should know” that some users are minors? The bill doesn’t say.

So the FTC/state AGs may allege that knowing a certain % of users are minors creates such knowledge.

Polygon - MATIC 💜

@0xsequence

BIG NEWS FOR #WEB3 INDIA 🇮🇳

@0xsequence & @onmetahq, both #onPolygon, have joined forces to unlock web3 onboarding for India.

Now, Indian users of games & #dApps built with Sequence can make purchases with INR via UPI!

As per Finder Cryptocurrency Adoption Index 👇

The crypto ownership rate in India is 29%, compared to the 15% global average. #Polygon and other amazing web3 projects from India have further cemented the country’s position in this space. Even then, millions of Indians are still shut out of the wonders of #web3.

This is due to a complex user experience.

Buying in-game currency, items, or digital collectibles is too difficult for #gamers & dApp users. They have to:
Buy tokens on an exchange ➡️transfer them to a complicated wallet ➡️ make purchases in-app.

There’s a better way 😏

🛟 Vamos que llevo 1 día de retraso (al menos con esto, con el de serie voy para 50 tacos)

🔒¿VPN privada o VPN de pago?

Desde mi punto de vista un profesional de la ciberseguridad debería optar SIEMPRE por la CONFIANZA ZERO.

Por tanto: VPN mía e ya.
Dentro hilo 🧵⬇️

https://twitter.com/TheXXLMAN/status/1571242352873725955

Lo primero es lo primero: definición

VPN son tecnologías de red privada virtual, que nos permiten generar nuestras redes locales a través de internet, así a grosso modo (con 1000 matices)

Las más populares #OpenSource son:

✅- OpenVPN
✅- WireGuard
✅- SoftEther
✅- Openswan

Mi preferida, sin lugar a dudas es #WireGuard

Nos permite "ethernet-over-IP" o sea, comunicarnos a nivel 2 de la capa OSI de RED, es decir, evitando los saltos de routing.

Agradecimientos: a mi compañero JMM quien me esta "evangelizando" a lo bestia con el tema redes.

@CantoPublic

WHAT'S THE NEXT $CANTO? Here is a list of 10 new blockchains to expect in 2022-2023

@CantoPublic is a #layer-1 blockchain built to deliver on the promise of #defi. as a post-traditional financial movement, $canto enables accessibility, transparency, and freedom for new systems.

1-12
the way they airdropped was something that almost surprised everyone you could simply get like 2K $Canto for doing nothing and just requesting a test #token for their #testnet but if you were early and lucky enough to receive the test token 🚀🍻

2-12
By doing a few simple tasks you were eligible to get around 10K $Canto that people sold for +5000K
here are the criteria for the airdrop so if you have posted the tweet and haven't checked your wallet this might be a good time to do #LFG

Recap Jar

@recapjar

#UnchartedMovie Don't know anything about the game and I love #Tom and #Mark but this movie despite being a good watch, it had a lot of things that did not make sense such as physics laws, characters, plot holes:

Here is why:

#Thread

1. First of all, #TomHolland in this movie was basically #SpiderMan without his super powers.
Hopefully, he will be able to separate his roles in the future, he is a good actor.
Not seeing the resemblance between the game and reel, but this is a prequel, hopefully #gamers chill

2. On Plot holes, From the keys and the map in Barcelona to the ships that are so easy to reach and there is a wide opening above them for ANYONE to see.
How is it possible that nobody found them just by like exploring the island.
They could literally be carried from above!
