The big loss of game box culture already happened sometime in the 1990s. Before that, games often came with various kinds of "feelies": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feelie


I'm curious. Why did you use OF?


There were non-nude people on there, once upon a time. But the banking issues around XXX caused a mass migration to that service. I think originally it was supposed to be like patreon.

regardless, though, does it matter why?


I think a bunch of people around here used it for tutoring and yoga classes and such. It was meant to be a Patreon. But after a while, they stopped because everyone assumed it was "tutoring" and "yoga classes".

Perhaps this is why every platform ends up banning or pushing all the XXX to a red light district.


It was started by the founder of clips4sale and intended primarily for the findom kink. They really pushed the SFW angle early on as a way of hanging on to Stripe's low processing rates.


There are still people on there who make $$$ by pretty much just publishing Instagram-level stuff, but in bigger sets + videos. Most actual cosplayers moved off OF eventually and either sell directly or via Patreon now.

It doesn't always have to be hardcore, but the implication of having an OF is "porn star".


I don't like the interviewer, but just three weeks ago, Eric Schmidt was on the podcast and he is obviously very smart and knowledgeable about technology and business.


And yet, and yet, I still wouldn't take his diet advice that seriously.


Richer people always get products first, when they are still expensive and bad. Don't worry about too much.

Something tells me he will never work for Microsoft. Even though they would probably love to employ him.


I wouldn't have said this a few years ago, but I think this is a good idea.


Needs vim keybindings.


What do you think of HippoRAG? Did you try it or plan to do?


Especially funny since he calls Goethe's Faust incoherent.
