The Krassensteins aren't exactly in a position to call anyone else grifters.

edit: Lol, they even had an NFT site themselves, I had no idea.

From the outside it looks like he's just doing satire but deep down he's really doing market research.

[-] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago

Is this considered grifting in your eyes or is it just good old fashioned capitalism by a man who might be running low on money?

The number one poster in our hearts is become the number one grifter in our wallets.

For real lol my current rig was viable for early crypto mining and I was like "lol nobody is stupid enough to pay for that shit" and boy was I spectacularly wrong.

Imagine getting in on the ground level in 2016 and selling like Trump t-shirts and then pivoting to like Qanon "patriots are in control" kinda shit in 2019

You'd make a fuckin fortune

The real long con would be making Tea Party merch in 2011 -> Ron Paul merch in 2012 -> Gamergate merch in early 2015 -> Trump merch as soon as he starts showing up in polls -> Q merch in 2018 -> Jan6 and Brandon merch in 2021

Imagine how many bored apes you could buy with that accumulated moolah

They are talking about everquest, if I understand the messages correctly:

a) trump has to sell a rare and valuable in game item because of his financial troubles

b) a common call for help when a player is getting overwhelmed by enemies, probably due to poor judgment/overestimation of ones abilities

c) asking for handouts to pay for a "resurrection" that will allow a playable character who lost a fight to be put back in the game.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Notably, the purpose of the "train" was to get your corpse as close to a safe spot as possible. You need to loot your own corpse to recover your items, or they're lost forever.

Death also came with a substantial experience loss, and you could lose levels through death. Resurrection mitigated most of that (and fully eliminated it once Alternate Advancement points opened up).
