An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry, by Bertrand Russell is part of . The Table of Links for this book can be found . The Foundations of Geometry: Introduction HackerNoon’s Book Blog Post series here PREFACE. The present work is based on a dissertation submitted at the Fellowship Examination of Trinity College, Cambridge, in the year 1895. Section B of the third chapter is in the main a reprint, with some serious alterations, of an article in Mind (New Series, No. 17). The substance of the book has been given in the form of lectures at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania. My chief obligation is to Professor Klein. Throughout the first chapter, I have found his "Lectures on non-Euclidean Geometry" an invaluable guide; I have accepted from him the division of Metageometry into three periods, and have found my historical work much lightened by his references to previous writers. In Logic, I have learnt most from Mr Bradley, and next to him, from Sigwart and Dr Bosanquet. On several important points, I have derived useful suggestions from Professor James's "Principles of Psychology." My thanks are due to Mr G. F. Stout and Mr A. N. Whitehead for kindly reading my proofs, and helping me by many useful criticisms. To Mr Whitehead I owe, also, the inestimable assistance of constant criticism and suggestion throughout the course of construction, especially as regards the philosophical importance of projective Geometry. Haslemere. May, 1897. INTRODUCTION. OUR PROBLEM DEFINED BY ITS RELATIONS TO LOGIC, PSYCHOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS. Geometry, throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, remained, in the war against empiricism, an impregnable fortress of the idealists. Those who held—as was generally held on the Continent—that certain knowledge, independent of experience, was possible about the real world, had only to point to Geometry: none but a madman, they said, would throw doubt on its validity, and none but a fool would deny its objective reference. The English Empiricists, in this matter, had, therefore, a somewhat difficult task; either they had to ignore the problem, or if, like Hume and Mill, they ventured on the assault, they were driven into the apparently paradoxical assertion that Geometry, at bottom, had no certainty of a different kind from that of Mechanics—only the perpetual presence of spatial impressions, they said, made our experience of the truth of the axioms so wide as to seem absolute certainty. Here, however, as in many other instances, merciless logic drove these philosophers, whether they would or no, into glaring opposition to the common sense of their day. It was only through Kant, the creator of modern Epistemology, that the geometrical problem received a modern form. He reduced the question to the following hypotheticals: If Geometry has apodeictic certainty, its matter, i.e. space, must be à priori, and as such must be purely subjective; and conversely, if space is purely subjective, Geometry must have apodeictic certainty. The latter hypothetical has more weight with Kant, indeed it is ineradicably bound up with his whole Epistemology; nevertheless it has, I think, much less force than the former. Let us[2] accept, however, for the moment, the Kantian formulation, and endeavour to give precision to the terms à priori and subjective. One of the great difficulties, throughout this controversy, is the extremely variable use to which these words, as well as the word empirical, are put by different authors. To Kant, who was nothing of a psychologist, à priori and subjective were almost interchangeable terms[1]; in modern usage there is, on the whole, a tendency to confine the word subjective to Psychology, leaving à priori to do duty for Epistemology. If we accept this differentiation, we may set up, corresponding to the problems of these two sciences, the following provisional definitions: à priori applies to any piece of knowledge which, though perhaps elicited by experience, is logically presupposed in experience: subjective applies to any mental state whose immediate cause lies, not in the external world, but within the limits of the subject. The latter definition, of course, is framed exclusively for Psychology: from the point of view of physical Science all mental states are subjective. But for a Science whose matter, strictly speaking, is only mental states, we require, if we are to use the word to any purpose, some differentia among mental states, as a mark of a more special subjectivity on the part of those to which this term is applied. Now the only mental states whose immediate causes lie in the external world are sensations. A pure sensation is, of course, an impossible abstraction—we are never wholly passive under the action of an external stimulus—but for the purposes of Psychology the abstraction is a useful one. Whatever, then, is not sensation, we shall, in Psychology, call subjective. It is in sensation alone that we are directly affected by the external world, and only here does it give us direct information about itself. Let us now consider the epistemological question, as to the sort of knowledge which can be called à priori. Here we have nothing to do—in the first instance, at any rate—with the cause or genesis of a piece of knowledge; we accept knowledge as a datum to be analysed and classified. Such analysis will reveal a formal and a material element in[3] knowledge. The formal element will consist of postulates which are required to make knowledge possible at all, and of all that can be deduced from these postulates; the material element, on the other hand, will consist of all that comes to fill in the form given by the formal postulates—all that is contingent or dependent on experience, all that might have been otherwise without rendering knowledge impossible. We shall then call the formal element à priori, the material element empirical. Now what is the connection between the subjective and the à priori? It is a connection, obviously—if it exists at all—from the outside, i.e. not deducible directly from the nature of either, but provable—if it can be proved—only by a general view of the conditions of both. The question, what knowledge is à priori, must, on the above definition, depend on a logical analysis of knowledge, by which the conditions of possible experience may be revealed; but the question, what elements of a cognitive state are subjective, is to be investigated by pure Psychology, which has to determine what, in our perceptions, belongs to sensation, and what is the work of thought or of association. Since, then, these two questions belong to different sciences, and can be settled independently, will it not be wise to conduct the two investigations separately? To decree that the à priori shall always be subjective, seems dangerous, when we reflect that such a view places our results, as to the à priori, at the mercy of empirical psychology. How serious this danger is, the controversy as to Kant's pure intuition sufficiently shows. I shall, therefore, throughout the present Essay, use the word à priori without any psychological implication. My test of apriority will be purely logical: Would experience be impossible, if a certain axiom or postulate were denied? Or, in a more restricted sense, which gives apriority only within a particular science: Would experience as to the subject-matter of that science be impossible, without a certain axiom or postulate? My results also, therefore, will be purely logical. If Psychology declares that some things, which I have declared à priori, are not subjective, then, failing an error of detail in my proofs, the connection of the à priori and the subjective,[4] so far as those things are concerned, must be given up. There will be no discussion, accordingly, throughout this Essay, of the relation of the à priori to the subjective—a relation which cannot determine what pieces of knowledge are à priori, but rather depends on that determination, and belongs, in any case, rather to Metaphysics than to Epistemology. As I have ventured to use the word à priori in a slightly unconventional sense, I will give a few elucidatory remarks of a general nature.
The à priori, since Kant at any rate, has generally stood for the necessary or apodeictic element in knowledge. But modern logic has shown that necessary propositions are always, in one aspect at least, hypothetical. There may be, and usually is, an implication that the connection, of which necessity is predicated, has some existence, but still, necessity always points beyond itself to a ground of necessity, and asserts this ground rather than the actual connection. As Bradley points out, "arsenic poisons" remains true, even if it is poisoning no one. If, therefore, the à priori in knowledge be primarily the necessary, it must be the necessary on some hypothesis, and the ground of necessity must be included as à priori. But the ground of necessity is, so far as the necessary connection in question can show, a mere fact, a merely categorical judgment. Hence necessity alone is an insufficient criterion of apriority. To supplement this criterion, we must supply the hypothesis or ground, on which alone the necessity holds, and this ground will vary from one science to another, and even, with the progress of knowledge, in the same science at different times. For as knowledge becomes more developed and articulate, more and more necessary connections are perceived, and the merely categorical truths, though they remain the foundation of apodeictic judgments, diminish in relative number. Nevertheless, in a fairly advanced science such as Geometry, we can, I think, pretty completely supply the appropriate ground, and establish, within the limits of the isolated science, the distinction between the necessary and the merely assertorical. There are two grounds, I think, on which necessity may be sought within any science. These may be (very roughly) distinguished as the ground which Kant seeks in the[5] Prolegomena, and that which he seeks in the Pure Reason. We may start from the existence of our science as a fact, and analyse the reasoning employed with a view to discovering the fundamental postulate on which its logical possibility depends; in this case, the postulate, and all which follows from it alone, will be à priori. Or we may accept the existence of the subject-matter of our science as our basis of fact, and deduce dogmatically whatever principles we can from the essential nature of this subject-matter. In this latter case, however, it is not the whole empirical nature of the subject-matter, as revealed by the subsequent researches of our science, which forms our ground; for if it were, the whole science would, of course, be à priori. Rather it is that element, in the subject-matter, which makes possible the branch of experience dealt with by the science in question[2]. The importance of this distinction will appear more clearly as we proceed[3]. These two grounds of necessity, in ultimate analysis, fall together. The methods of investigation in the two cases differ widely, but the results cannot differ. For in the first case, by analysis of the science, we discover the postulate on which alone its reasonings are possible. Now if reasoning in the science is impossible without some postulate, this postulate must be essential to experience of the subject-matter of the science, and thus we get the second ground. Nevertheless, the two methods are useful as supplementing one another, and the first, as starting from the actual science, is the safest and easiest method of investigation, though the second seems the more convincing for exposition. The course of my argument, therefore, will be as follows: In the first chapter, as a preliminary to the logical analysis of Geometry, I shall give a brief history of the rise and development of non-Euclidean systems. The second chapter will prepare the ground for a constructive theory of Geometry, by a criticism of some previous philosophical views; in this chapter, I shall[6] endeavour to exhibit such views as partly true, partly false, and so to establish, by preliminary polemics, the truth of such parts of my own theory as are to be found in former writers. A large part of this theory, however, cannot be so introduced, since the whole field of projective Geometry, so far as I am aware, has been hitherto unknown to philosophers. Passing, in the third chapter, from criticism to construction, I shall deal first with projective Geometry. This, I shall maintain, is necessarily true of any form of externality, and is, since some such form is necessary to experience, completely à priori. In metrical Geometry, however, which I shall next consider, the axioms will fall into two classes: (1) Those common to Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. These will be found, on the one hand, essential to the possibility of measurement in any continuum, and on the other hand, necessary properties of any form of externality with more than one dimension. They will, therefore, be declared à priori. (2) Those axioms which distinguish Euclidean from non-Euclidean spaces. These will be regarded as wholly empirical. The axiom that the number of dimensions is three, however, though empirical, will be declared, since small errors are here impossible, exactly and certainly true of our actual world; while the two remaining axioms, which determine the value of the space-constant, will be regarded as only approximately known, and certain only within the errors of observation[4]. The fourth chapter, finally, will endeavour to prove, what was assumed in Chapter III., that some form of externality is necessary to experience, and will conclude by exhibiting the logical impossibility, if knowledge of such a form is to be freed from contradictions, of wholly abstracting this knowledge from all reference to the matter contained in the form. I shall hope to have touched, with this discussion, on all the main points relating to the Foundations of Geometry. FOOTNOTES: [1] Cf. Erdmann, Axiome der Geometrie, p. 111: "Für Kant sind Apriorität und ausschliessliche Subjectivität allerdings Wechselbegriffe." [2] I use "experience" here in the widest possible sense, the sense in which the word is used by Bradley. [3] Where the branch of experience in question is essential to all experience, the resulting apriority may be regarded as absolute; where it is necessary only to some special science, as relative to that science. [4] I have given no account of these empirical proofs, as they seem to be constituted by the whole body of physical science. Everything in physical science, from the law of gravitation to the building of bridges, from the spectroscope to the art of navigation, would be profoundly modified by any considerable inaccuracy in the hypothesis that our actual space is Euclidean. The observed truth of physical science, therefore, constitutes overwhelming empirical evidence that this hypothesis is very approximately correct, even if not rigidly true.

Introduction To Geometry

Blockchain technology is at the forefront of promoting various projects with its functionalities. This masterpiece technology has recorded considerable successes in multiple industries like Finance, Logistics, Arts, Entertainment, Sport, Gaming, and much more. In the financial realm, it started with fueling numerous cryptocurrencies, promoting DeFi protocols, and facilitating the advent of NFTs before crossing over to Metaverse and Web 3. What is Metaverse? Metaverse translates into virtual verse, i.e., a virtual world or environment where humans can explore the virtual world, experience their fantasies, and more, irrespective of their geographic location. Not only that, Metaverse has been an excellent tool for corporate organizations to conduct their various seminars, conferences, symposia, and lots more. Like many other blockchain projects, Metaverse fills a void in users' needs and strengthens other blockchain-based projects' functionalities. Among all blockchain-based projects, Metaverse seems exclusive due to its interconnections with other previous projects. On Metaverse, avatars used as human persona is an NFT (tokenized digital arts or objects) purchased or exchanged with cryptocurrencies. The use cases of Metaverse seem endless as more functionality is being discovered. One of the most valuable aspects of Metaverse is its virtual real estate, where virtual lands are sold to investors. In real-world real estate, landed property is a significant asset edging the industry towards a vast fortune. Like in the real world, land has been a profitable asset worthy of investing in in the Metaverse due to its potential use cases. These parcels of land can earn their investors sizeable ROI because they can be purchased as NFTs; while also claiming royalty on secondary sales of these lands. They can also earn investors passive income through rental and other economic use cases yet to be discovered. Do you also wonder where these virtual lands are getting their value? Well, I have an answer to your doubt which will alleviate your fear and curiosity about Metaverse lands. How Lands are Valued on Metaverse In our natural world, lands are valued based on their sizes, locations, and other economic factors, like their use cases. Like in the real world, the same factors responsible for attracting value to lands and real estate, in general, are also applicable to lands in the virtual space. Virtual lands are valued based on their respective locations, sizes, and utility. Below are how these factors determine the value of lands on Metaverse. Metaverse land size and dimension reflect land's length and breadth, which is directly connected to the aggregate value of such land. You'll also agree that a 16m x 16m virtual land will not have the same value as 12m x 12m, with other factors being equal. So the land size commensurates its value in the Metaverse; the larger the magnitude, the higher the price. Land Size and Dimension Similar to conventional real estate, the location of land in the Metaverse is also vital. Like lands are more valuable in highbrow cities than other lesser regions, lands strategically situated close to major hubs or big brands are usually worth more than others far away or isolated from them. For example, lands closer to The Sandbox Map or Genesis Plaza in Decentraland are worth more than others afar from them because these two are active locations in the Metaverse.
Furthermore, lands closer to notable brands on Metaverse like Adidas, Nike, Gucci, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Samsung, Hyundai, Louis Vuitton, etc., are valuable and worth more than those afar. This is because these notable brands are in commercial hotspots where their stores are situated; the closer a parcel of land is to them, the higher its value. Location of the Land Brand Metaverse Brand Host platform Nike NIKELAND Roblox Samsung Samsung 837x Decentraland Gucci Gucci Town Roblox Adidas AdiVerse Sandbox Hyundai Hyundai Mobility Adventure Roblox Wendy’s Wendyverse Fortnite Forever 21 Forever 21 Shop City Roblox Vans Vans World Roblox Walmart Walmart Land Roblox Dolce & Gabbana Decentraland Ferrari Fortnite Louis Vuitton Decentraland Balenciaga Fortnite The Walking Dead Sandbox Coca-Cola Decentraland Depending on the choice, proximity to in-demand natural landscapes like beaches could also attract value to lands within such landscape perimeter. 3.      Land Utility The land utility is another factor that attributes value to parcels of land in the Metaverse; it is a function of what can be developed on such lands for appreciable ROI. Generally, utility is the main factor driving value to Metaverse (lands and other Metaverse objects). It concerns the economic architecture of landowners/investors regarding their lands. As an investor, you can develop real estate as an arena for public events, retail outlets for virtual stores, etc., and rent them out to users. There are various use cases of virtual land, which also determines how those lands are valued regarding their locations. The following are virtual land use cases. i.                    Virtual Game Play-2-Earn (P2E) games thrive on the Metaverse; they are the frontrunner that promotes the Metaverse to further utilities. Lands on Metaverse can be developed as a gaming environment where users can play and earn. , a gaming platform, took this initiative when it purchased land in The Sandbox. On September 26, 2022, retail giant Walmart announced its debut into Metaverse with "Walmart Land" and "Walmart's Universe of Play" on Roblox (another Metaverse gaming platform). Atari ii.                 Virtual Stores Virtual stores are similar to physical stores where commodities can be purchased, but only virtual products and merchandise are sold in virtual stores. These merchandises exist as NFTs, which include fashion accessories like footwear, headwear, glasses, clothing, etc. Brands like Samsung, Nike, Adidas, Gucci, DKNY, and many other brands already have their stores on various metaverse platforms. iii.               Entertainment Metaverse as a virtual world was not shut out of entertainment due to its euphoria and relaxation. Entertainment is also booming in the Metaverse, especially the music industry; artists like Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, and Marshmello have separately performed on Fortnite, a metaverse platform. On Roblox (another metaverse platform), Soccer Mommy and David Guetta have separately performed, Post Malone performed on Horizon World and Daler Mehndi on Somnium Space. Conclusion Virtual lands drive their value mainly from their utilities alongside other factors like location and size. This doesn't mean there can't be other factors responsible for adding value to virtual lands in the nearest future; the Metaverse is a digital world susceptible to dynamic trends.

John Roo is a solo indie game developer, who released a Game Boy game in 2020. Not only did he release it, he even printed physical cartridges for fans to enjoy! In this AMA, we dive into his thoughts on game development. This thread by John Roo, JeffreyHarris, Limarc Ambalina and Jose Hernandez occurred in slogging's official #gaming channel, and has been edited for readability. Slogging Hey my name is John Roo. I own The Retro Room Games.  I do retro game development and publishing. You can ask me anything about the business of games. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:09 AM http://Www.TheRetroRoomGames.com Hey, John. I still think there's something very cool and special about gaming cartridges in an age where most everything gaming is going digital or direct downloads, but what do you think? JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:11 AM I love all things gaming. I feel like my generation and maybe some of the generations around mine are still very much into collecting and owning physcial games. Sadly it is a dying art and I want to try and keep it alive. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:13 AM Hey John! thanks for doing the AMA. Can you tell us a bit about the games you've made so far? Limarc Ambalina May 5, 2021, 2:12 AM I have personally worked on a Gameboy game named Quest Arrest, an FMV style retro choose your own adventure game called "Pet the dog", and a platformer called Gelatinous. I just made a deal with a few large companies to do some ports of some well know games. Good things in the works. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:14 AM I'm excited for the future John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:15 AM Do you have an interest in creating some retro cart titles for SNES or Genesis? 16-bit gaming and consoles are my personal favorites. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:15 AM I am wrapping up a project as we speak for SNES and Genesis actually. That has not quite been announced yet. So you hear it here exclusive 😜 John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:16 AM Can you tell us a bit about Quest Arrest? I noticed it was covered by the famous retro gaming Youtuber MetalJesusRocks. Limarc Ambalina May 5, 2021, 2:16 AM I was lucky to have Quest Arrest, my first indie game, get a lot of attention. It definitely helped me launch everything thats happening now. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:17 AM Hey, John. What is it about retro games and consoles that speak to you? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:17 AM For me personally its nostalgia. Its better more simple times in my life. I'll always like going back in time. Its a meditation. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:18 AM I totally agree with you from the gamer's perspective, but what made you, as a developer, decide to release Quest Arrest as a physical cartridge? I imagine it must come with much more headaches than releasing it solely digitally? Limarc Ambalina May 5, 2021, 2:19 AM There was actually a few people in the community who mentioned wanting copies of the game physcially. So I printed 100 of them to start. I thought I might sell 30 of them...I ended up selling all 100 of them the first day. It was a wake up call. Life was showing me something and I just followed. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:21 AM John, do you have a rare gaming item or crown jewel for your collection? Like maybe an N64 disc drive? JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:20 AM I wish I had anything rare hahaha I do have a lot of games but nothing too rare. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:21 AM I like to mod all of my consoles. That might be considered rare John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:22 AM Would you ever want to port Quest Arrest to different platforms, and would that even be possible? JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:22 AM I actually did port Quest Arrest to PC and Android. I've toyed with the idea of porting a color version elsewhere. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:25 AM Maybe Dreamcast or some other obscure place hahah John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:25 AM What’s your favorite game boy title? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:22 AM Jose Hernandez I gotta go with either Pokémon or Zelda Links awakening John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:23 AM I hate to be basic hahha John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:24 AM But those are some good games. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:24 AM John Roo maybe a Game Boy Color version for your next cartridge release? 🙂 JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:27 AM I love the Dreamcast, highly underrated console. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:27 AM I definitely plan on doing a GBC cart release at some point. I plan to add content so it serves as a new experience John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:27 AM I love the Dreamcast too. I would love to throw some ports over there. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:28 AM What would you consider to be retro? Would you consider the Wii or the PSP to now be retro? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:30 AM I've always considered retro to be subjective to the player. What is retro to me might not be retro to you...but its hard for me to personally accept the wii as retro even thought it came out like 15 years ago hahaha makes me feel old. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:32 AM Who handles the music for Quest Arrest, did you compose it yourself? JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:31 AM I think we all agree retro gaming music is a crucial aspect 😉 . JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:31 AM I was actually heavily invested in music for a long time. To make gameboy music is honeslty a chore even with me being a producer for so long. I definitley enlisted within the community for help. I now work with a guy who does all the music for the games I've been working on. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:33 AM I do agree, the music can be an experience on its own. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:34 AM Great to hear you have collaborators, and I hope your circle continues to grow! JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:35 AM Is there something you think is missing from current games/consoles that made retro ones great? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:35 AM JeffreyHarris I now am lucky to work with a team of about 5 people. It really speeds up the process of getting a game from Development to storefront John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:36 AM Jose Hernandez I noticed games now have gotten extremely complex. Huge to the point that they would take someone like me years to beat. Considering I'm spending a lot of time working and with family. I dont have hundreds of hours to pour into my huge collection of modern games. I havent even come close to putting a dent into it. Retro games were often simple and could be played in smaller bursts of time. This sort of concept is much more manageable for me John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:37 AM Something I miss from current games, one of my favorite moments of all time in video games, is when you can figure out how to unlock the Hadoken Power-Up in Mega Man X. Once I saw that was possible, it blew my mind. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:39 AM Like simple ingenuity. Experimenting with new ideas. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:39 AM it was cool to have to hear rumors about that stuff. To have a friend show you instead of the internet showing us everything. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:40 AM Had to just tough out hard games. And we didn't think they sucked. We just kept going. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:40 AM Or gaming magazines. I really miss classic gaming mags. I miss being able to read magazines and pour over them and anticipating the next issue. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:41 AM Much like I prefer physical cartridges, I like having things to read JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:42 AM What's a Game Boy game that you think is under appreciated? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:42 AM Thats a good question. The Twitter retro gaming community is pretty attentive to Gameboy games... so I'm happy to see even underrated games get a lot of love. Its got a massive library that I do think is generally underrated these days. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:43 AM Any plans for any gaming conferences or shows? Virtual or otherwise. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:47 AM There are a few in Houston that I'd love to attend coming up this summer. I hope to have enough products by then to have a booth. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:48 AM Oh cool, my hometown JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:48 AM I'm fairly new to the scene myself. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:48 AM What's your favorite retro animated series? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:49 AM I'm a huge fan of classic 90s Nicktoons like Rockos Modern Life. Its a way to sucker me in. I also like some older classic anime like Dragon Ball and Lupin the third. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:51 AM Freakazoid 😄 JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:51 AM How's the Sega Saturn treating you? What are some good games for the console? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:53 AM I actually didn't get a Sega Saturn till the middle of 2020. To get a console and have that first time feeling is unmatched. I was extremely impressed with the console and it has a massive library of REALLY good games. I feel like its a must have console. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:54 AM Can you tell us anything about the games you're working on right now? Jose Hernandez May 5, 2021, 2:56 AM I look forward to hearing more about his next titles. JeffreyHarris May 5, 2021, 2:56 AM I am currently working on porting a lot of the Epyx Software library and Datasoft library to consoles it never saw releases for. Like from C64 to SNES and Genesis...That along with Gelatinous which is a gameboy platformer. I am in early development of a DS Rpg game. John Roo May 5, 2021, 2:59 AM Also before you go, can you explain the process of getting a Game Boy Cartridge printed in 2021:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:. It infinitely interests me that we can still print retro game cartridges, despite Nintendo having discontinued them over a decade ago. Other game devs may be looking for that answer too. Limarc Ambalina May 5, 2021, 3:00 AM It started with me flashing them in my bedroom using a custom pcb created by insidegadgets ...now I actually go and have each piece created from manufacturers, from the box, to the casing ,to the pcb inside.

StarkDeFi announces the closing 10 days of their innovative ReGenesis campaign—A Blend of Traditional Leaderboard and Gamification. StarkDeFi, a leading provider of DeFi solutions built on StarkNet, is entering the final stretch of its standout ReGenesis campaign. The campaign deviates from the current market trend, featuring a gamified twist to the traditional leaderboard approach. The project hints at entering a new phase, stating, “After this, ReGenesis goes into intermission - a mission of its own,” signifying exciting developments are on the horizon. As a project poised to launch one of StarkNet's initial tokens, users have been staying active, accumulating Regenesis Cores, which are exchangeable for $SDC, StarkDeFi’s native token. "StarkDeFi is driven by the ambition to reshape existing StarkNet protocols through its unique UI. We took it upon ourselves to design an exceptional user experience that extends beyond our application and revolutionizes our leaderboard campaign," said the COO of StarkDeFi. "By incorporating interactive gaming elements, we believe we've established a user-focused campaign that stands unparalleled among other StarkNet builders." StarkDeFi strives to be the ultimate destination for all things DeFi on Starknet. Although it's still in its infancy, having launched on mainnet in December 2023, the project is gaining significant momentum. Notably, Brian D Evans, a serial entrepreneur and marketing maestro, recently joined as an advisor. Moreover, the project enjoys visual contributions from an undisclosed artist who also played a significant role in designing projects for the Al Wasl Dome in Dubai and Vivid Festival in Sydney, Australia. “StarkDeFi is building an entire suite of DeFi solutions. Whilst we currently offer an AMM (automated market maker) and soon-to-launch Liquidity Locker, we have an array of products, such as StarkPad, the only native launchpad on Starknet, Limit Orders, and Synergy Pools (a zero loss, prize savings protocol). We are also set to launch a few more products, which can be integrated into our current offerings to increase user experience, however, we have to leave something to the imagination” commented their COO. The team comprises global talent with a collective experience of over 20 years. Led by four co-founders, each boasting unique expertise in web3, they are proud of their diverse team. Moreover, StarkDeFi collaborates with a plethora of esteemed partners such as Chainlink Build, Seedify, Trireme Trading, and Gate.io Labs, among others.

🚩Hidden behind the public view is one of the crypto industry’s biggest secrets, the crypto shadow banking, where cryptos worth billions of dollars are borrowed & lent on an un-collateralized basis, between some of the industry’s biggest names. 🏦Crypto shadow banks engage in bank-like activities such as borrowing & lending but are not licensed banks, hence falling outside of the regulatory requirements. 🏦 engage in bank-like activities such as borrowing & lending but are not licensed banks, hence falling outside of the regulatory requirements, which require capital reserves to cover losses from bad loans or available liquidity in case of a bank run. Crypto shadow banks can be lending platforms (BlockFi, Celsius), exchanges (FTX) when they create credit or lend out clients' deposits to enhance liquidity, or credit networks (Genesis Trading, Hidden Road) that facilitate institutional borrowing & lending. Crypto shadow banks 💡The key player in the crypto shadow banking system is Genesis Trading, namely its highly successful & lucrative lending desk. Genesis Trading lending desk is the world’s leading lending desk in the cryptocurrency markets, facilitating two-way originations between lenders & borrowers, and is considered a trusted counterparty for institutional & professional traders, market makers, hedge funds, & crypto companies with large treasuries. ❗️Genesis was not immune to the stress in the crypto markets in the last month and as of November 16th, it has implemented a withdrawal freeze amid efforts to stave off potential bankruptcy. Genesis cited “unprecedented market turmoil” caused by the collapse of FTX and 3AC, which led to “abnormal” levels of withdrawals that exceeded its liquidity. ❇️Perhaps the most fascinating data on crypto shadow banking comes from Genesis's active loan book, which was until the end of Q3 2022. While Genesis loan origination does not fully cover all the crypto shadow banking activities, it can be considered an excellent proxy, since the lending desk of Genesis Trading was the most significant player in the world’s crypto shadow banking ecosystem. From a peak of almost $15 billion of active loans in Q1 2022 to a collapse of $2.8 billion in Q3 2022, a drop of over 80% over a period of fewer than 6 months. Crypto shadow banking is going through its collapse and the unique & valuable data points from Genesis Trading's quarterly reports confirm this. transparently provided to the public ✅Crypto shadow banking activities were the biggest driver of the spectacular bull market, as well as the ongoing collapse & contagion. World’s regulators are tapping into the dark, trying to understand the causes of the collapse. In the current crisis, crypto industry leaders & experts have an opportunity to provide insights into how the industry really operates & transparently explain crypto #shadow #banking activities. My goal is that my writing creates a platform for open discussion on how to enhance our industry & put a healthy foundation in place, that will support the world's growth in the coming decades.
