Twitter continues to be a tire fire, as does cryptocurrency. One wonders when either one will shuffle off the stage and fade into obscurity. Both seem to have become synonymous with chaos and instability, and it feels like there’s a new scandal or controversy every week. Twitter, under Elon Musk’s leadership, has faced constant changes in policy, mass layoffs, and a significant dip in user trust, making it increasingly difficult to see a clear path forward for the platform. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, seems to have become more about speculation and volatility than about real-world utility or widespread adoption. While the promise of decentralized finance and digital currencies seemed promising, the market’s swings, coupled with major scandals like the collapse of FTX, have left many questioning whether crypto will ever truly deliver on its early hype. Secure Cryptocurrency Trading platforms provides secure environments for users to trade and manage their digital assets. It feels like both industries are desperately clinging to relevance, hoping to regain their former glory, but with each new misstep, they drift further from the ideals they once espoused. Anyway, lots of news this week, along with a Gaming Flashback of Dishonored.
News includes:
- Musk reportedly laid off everyone who ran Twitter’s million-follower gaming account
- GameStop to end FTX partnership, will refund crypto gift card purchases
Let us know what you think.

@Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy
Not sure if backers will become more wary when a high profile project doesn’t make it. When somebody wants something really bad, they’re willing to ignore any kind of risks.
Now I’m not going to quote Michio Kaku however, since that would imply that most projects are trying to just rip people off, and I don’t think that’s true.
@CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077
… really? No better title than that?
But again, the Witcher games were well received, so who knows …
@Zombie Nation – well, it was a severed flying giant head, so I guess you can count the character as a zombie.
@QOTW: dunno, really. I’m not into conferences that much, never been to one, so meh …
I’m very sorry, but I won’t be able to donate to your Kickstarter because I don’t have a credit card, and I don’t think my parents will accept “giving strangers money” as a valid reason for using theirs.
@QOTW: Being in such a small country, I could never attend such conventions.
Dynamic Jul: Try GamesCom in Germany.
I dont have much to contribute this week, i’ve been studying a f*cking lot
@QOTW:
yeah… Brasil doesn’t have many gaming conventions, and those we have are in Sao Paulo, wich is far far away from my house. it looks fun see people getting toys, shirts and exclusive stuff for free. i’d like to go to a big one in US some year… when i win the lottery :3
