Ha! I'm really trying to keep the price down, these are the cheapest screens I could find and they're still ~$4. If they took off and were produced at scale, we could definitely do color, and make them thinner and flexible as well

I so agree! MTG is desperately scraping the bottom of barrel for new mechanics. That's why I wanted to get this concept out there, to inspire the next thing.

Ah yeah, originally I wanted the contacts to wrap around the edges of the card, so then you can stack them and address whichever one in the stack you want. Maybe I should raise the priority on that. Definitely I'm into the idea of evol

Yeah, I'm going for an occult/mysticism/witchy vibe. Magic the Gathering has a monopoly on fantasy, and the cyberpunk genre is played out. Plus I want the inner-workings to be somewhat mysterious. I had a lot of fun thematica

I'll add that to my list of fictional card games! I took inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh, Card Captors, Angelic Layer...

Ah thanks, I worked hard on the contacts. There's a thin and flexible e-ink display I could use instead, but they're $20 each instead of $4. I agree they're a bit chunky in this form :) I agree the docking station detracts a

Oh hey, I've been looking for small demo games to implement on it, before jumping into a massive RPG or something. I can try implementing that.

Thanks! Yeah me too! I've got an idea for a game, but I'm not an experienced game designer. If others want to try to design a game for it, I'd be open to sharing with them :D Mostly wanted to inspire something new.

I heartily recommend stopping by their headquarters in Tokyo, they have a small museum open to the public! Their largest zipper has fist-sized teeth and is for zipping together fishing nets. Look for the YKK letters on a building near Akiha

The "anywhere in the world" part is really huge. As of now, most cryptocurrencies aren't run by nation states, unlike traditional currencies. Cryptocurrencies have to potential to become a global currency that's fair to

There's a few cryptocurrency index funds already, where the fund itself is completely automated and shares of the index are tokens on an ethereum contract. So you buy in with ethereum, then can liquidate you shares back to ethereum whe

Zeppelins like the Graff and Hindenburg had machine shops onboard as well! Their engines were very unreliable, they could do overhauls mid-flight. Airplanes around that time were just as unreliable, but flew shorter hops. Had to overhaul or

Adding another anecdote, I worked for a company which paid Glassdoor to remove a bunch of negative reviews. The score jumped from 2 to 4 overnight and a bunch of well-written negative reviews disappeared.
