Jason plays a bit of "devil's advocate" in this episode. In response to my discussion with Geoff Engelstein which held a whole lot of skepticism, a few watchers reached out to me to defend their purchases of NFTs and participation in that community. For the sake of a more well rounded discussion, I try to recreate their counter arguments as far as I can. ----- 0:00 Intro 4:41 What is Value? 5:46 Memorabilia 9:08 Owning Digital Art Assets 17:14 NFTs as a Force for Good 18:38 Environmental Cost and Theft from Artists 22:25 The Point is a Good Discussion ----- Shelf Stories YouTube (with video of this recording) - www.youtube.com/shelfstories __________________________________ YouTube - www.youtube.com/onestopcoopshop www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCIkULbgzMEW612cSdUX7Q Discord - discord.gg/p4jX8AF Facebook - www.facebook.com/onestopcoopshop Donate to One Stop Co-op Shop - www.patreon.com/onestop Email - onestopcoopshop@gmail.com

Jason is taking a bit of a break from making fresh content for a few weeks as we enter the holiday season. In the meantime, please enjoy this guest appearance that Jason did on another show! Jason had the privilege of presenting Top Ten Card Games with Richard Ham, aka Rahdo. As usual, conversations with Rahdo are pretty long! However, we cover a lot of solo and cooperative games, among a few others, for you to enjoy. This episode has been reproduced with Richard's kind permission.

Jason sits down with Geoff Engelstein to discuss blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs. We do our best to talk about what's going on in layman's terms that gamers can understand. The short message is that blockchains and cryptocurrencies have a lot of potential, but that NFTs in their current forms are grifts that prey on the confusion surrounding them. 0:00 Intro 2:26 Geoff talks Super Skill Pinball: Ramp It Up 6:36 Blockchain 24:30 Cryptocurrencies 37:39 NFTs 59:03 Environmentally Damaging? 1:09:31 Kickstarter's Move to Blockchain Shelf Stories YouTube (with video of this recording) - www.youtube.com/shelfstories __________________________________ YouTube - www.youtube.com/onestopcoopshop www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCIkULbgzMEW612cSdUX7Q Discord - discord.gg/p4jX8AF Facebook - www.facebook.com/onestopcoopshop Donate to One Stop Co-op Shop - www.patreon.com/onestop Email - onestopcoopshop@gmail.com

(Apologies for my mic quality in this one. Darn Zoom. I did the best I could to recover the audio). I interview Cole Medeiros, designer of Stardew Valley, the Board Game, about designing a different style of cooperative game. We discuss realizing the open world, delightful spirit of the video game in cardboard in a way that satisfies the hobby gamer instinct for control and agency.

Constitutional lawyer and avid gamer Raha Wala joins the show to discuss how we speak with one another on the internet. I continue to be optimistic that we can improve the quality of our online discussions about games. So, in this show, we define difficult terms like censorship, cancellation, and criticism so that we can focus on clear meanings and have less of a chance of misinterpreting one another. At least, that's the hope! ----- Shelf Stories YouTube (with video of this recording) - www.youtube.com/shelfstories __________________________________ YouTube - www.youtube.com/onestopcoopshop www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCIkULbgzMEW612cSdUX7Q Discord - discord.gg/p4jX8AF Facebook - www.facebook.com/onestopcoopshop Donate to One Stop Co-op Shop - www.patreon.com/onestop Email - onestopcoopshop@gmail.com
