Game dev has me returning to reflections on the importance of proof of work Some of my more developed characters have been with me since somewhere around 2008- Astraya being the oldest, developed during a D&D game It’s hard to pinpoint where Dagz showed up but I have a MacBook from the early 2000s and when I dig into my files from college in 2011 it’s obvious Dagz was already well into being shaped But how do you prove these things? Aside from the very obvious hard drive storage prior to astraya showing up in ‘08? And even then… the dependencies, what are the odds that this machine keeps working forever and even still that’s a very local prover Just some thoughts I’ve been reflecting on while building Time is so v non-linear
