Web 1.0 is roughly the early internet up to the start of Facebook. Web 2.0, which we are in now, is the consolidation of the internet into a series of “walled gardens”, where most people engage with the internet though one or more platforms (FB, Twitter, etc), the rub being that these platforms are moderated (and privatized). Web 3.0 is not a thing (yet?), but it’s the idea that decentralization through blockchain technology will create a new “phase” of the internet

Which one did I like? ME?

RETVRN

It was the first of its kind!

But in fairness, I have never really liked any other card games or felt the need to play YGO, etc. Except a younger family member is big into Lorcana now, so I am enjoying playing that with them.

Orpheus is my favorite

Magic: the Gathering Arena, Magic: the Gathering Online, and OpenRCT2 (Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 with mods)

My favorite genres are JRPGs and Magic: the Gathering

Also, I always watch in private and I use a downloader tool to make my own copies

So I think the answer for me is no, but I definitely think I use it very differently than most people who watch YouTube. I don’t watch new things on YT, I don’t follower any YouTubers, it’s basically a repository for MST3K for me, old music videos, and then I will pull movie clips/scans of old films from it for my academic work. I don’t know who the baby gronk rizz king is or whatever, but I’ve found a lot of stuff on YouTube that I probably would not have found elsewhere (other than sometimes Internet Archive)

Me, the sophisticated Rollercoaster Tycoon enjoyer

I do think there are some real concerns, including how institutions can maintain (and share) collections, and best practices being influenced by fear of getting attacked by Nintendo lawyers, etc.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yeees.

how long ago was this?

Thatcher was the only person uglier in person than their puppet in this video.

This isn’t my actual answer, but I tried doing that treadmill dance and immediately busted my ass

This feels like a cheat answer, but as someone who has played for 25 years and organized events for 15, I’m likely much more knowledgeable about the rules of Magic: the Gathering than the “average person”. Not sure that I am necessarily exponentially better than the average player, but maybe I am now that so many people play digitally and don’t need to know the rules as much.

These people are so dumb, they aren’t “water mountains”, they are Lands with the subtypes Island and Mountain, meaning they can tap for blue or red mana.
