  • Emulating old games is almost entirely safe. Sure it might be possible for a rom to have something injected in it that takes advantage of some emulator vulnerability but it’s extremely unlikely and I’ve never heard of it. Keep on doing that.

    Modern games (or any other .exe files) are very risky. And you may never know you have a keylogger.

    If there was no risk I’d pirate modern games. However you usually can’t play online anyway. And having all my games in one place on steam is very nice, with cloud saves and family sharing too.








  • Correct, all of that can be done with a normal database. And with a normal centralized service you can just tie a ticket to someone’s ID instead of their wallet address.

    And in fact, with the wallet address ownership you could just make a new wallet per ticket purchase and then sell the whole wallet via paypal. Circumventing the whole smart contract thing.

    Imo the only advantage to NFTs is that the DB can’t ever go down or be altered. But if you trust amazon you could instead just use an append-only hosted database like QLDB.
