Don’t forget this bit:
“It's entirely possible that he was smart, I'm sure he was to an extent, but I believe that Space X and Tesla have better structures in places for managing/limiting Musk's direct influence, and I also believe that, like many of the super rich, he's succumbed to a form of right-wing brain rot over the years. His brain is now smooth and toxic.”
- Offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion
- Try to back out when Twitter says "ok lol"
- Get forced to complete the purchase
- Saddle Twitter with the debt you now have as a result of buying Twitter
- Invite all the previously-banned bigots and hatemongers back on the site
- Make your staff's lives hell, including bullshit 'performance' stuff like checking how many lines-of-code they write, so most of them are either fired or leave on their own
- Raise API prices sky-high, get ridiculed
- Lock everything behind user log-in, logged-out users can't see anything
- Rate-limit how many things logged-in users can do
- Break widgets
- Was once the public square of the internet, now weather services are moving to Mastodon
- "why are we still losing money >:("
- Initiate a half-assed rebrand to "X" but the logo, 𝕏, is literally just a mathematical symbol. Who needs copyright on your billion dollar company's brand identity, eh?
Whoa, be careful everyone, these are the slick moves of a master genius!

It becomes a lot easier to understand when you remember that he might just be kinda stupid :)
Do you have a template for new issues? If so, you could write a GitHub Actions workflow that looks for certain values or info and applies some labels automatically… but probably only basic stuff, to avoid false positives.
Genuine question: how much of the marketing material did you see? I thought it was always clear that it was gonna be an exploration/puzzle game in a cyberpunk world with a baddie.
I had the opposite reaction, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the small things, like scratching a carpet!
I do hope you find something more like what you’re wishing for, though 🙂
And even then, you could still do that unique Pokemon idea without using a blockchain. Use unique identifiers in a good old database, or, heck, just tell the user with words, “there are many pidgeottos but this one is yours”.
A blockchain idea has to not only be a good idea, but also not possible with simpler technology for it to be genuinely worthwhile.
