Pfft. Real hoopy froods play Heroclix.

I do not play Heroclix but I bought some about 20 years ago.

Jesus christ 20 years? Huh. Also I didn't notice but it was discontinued in 2008.

I suspect quite a few of them are going to be unalived in the next 30 years, given the way things are going politically in various countries.

Could be many millions, especially if Modi's India gets really bad and it overflows into Pakistan.

Still not enough to make much of a dent in the total world population though.

I hate the energy of That Guy that barges into the room and shouts “I solved X!” without researching for 5 minutes what all the people that were actually hard at work solving X came up with, what hurdles they identified, and which paths were already explored.

Reminds me of the time I was at Barnes & Noble and this lady comes in with her little boy (4-6 maybe?) and they head for the children's section. At the entry to the children's section she tells him to go find a book, and they separate. He walks a step to the first display in the center of the entry area, grabs something, and shouts "Momma I found a BOOK."

I guess we'll just punish random people for random things.

"And then I made the demons build a half pipe the size of the grand canyon, and I did tricks that have never been done before, and the girls all watched and were impressed."

“Kidding on the square” as they used to say.

Also the paper is a decade old.

And redolent of 'emerita disease' although I don't think the authors have technically achieved that honor.

I kinda doubt it'd be a rigid single-purpose ASIC like a miner. AI people like to fiddle with things too often for that I think.
