That Web3 games would finally finish their development phase and would be available for us to play full-time

And that we’d be able to choose our favorite"

> **Visual Note:** A white t-shirt features an anime-style illustration of a schoolgirl in a dark blazer holding a chalkboard, surrounded by blue wave graphics and financial math including the Black-Scholes equation, a volatility smile graph, and Greek letters (Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta), with the title "iVOL Black-Scholes Girl" and tagline "She prices the distribution." The design visually ties to the post's vision by merging options-pricing mathematics with a stylized "agent" figure—imagining the kind of autonomous, math-savvy participant that would thrive in future markets built around energy, cognition, and parimutuel risk pools without traditional intermediaries.

where the Mana of the 21st century is energy, cognition and non-public info

where agent swarms controlling robots can transact and create parimutuel insurance pools as downside protection without intermediation"

> **Visual Note:** The image displays the Bethesda Game Studios logo on a black background with the text "We're sharing more about what's ahead for Starfield, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Creation Engine 3, and beyond." The post humorously references initial panic that Bethesda was shutting down due to "Web3 gaming PTSD," but the image actually announces an exciting expansion of their existing franchises rather than a closure.

> **Video Content:** In a Decentraland scene called "Sculpture Garden," the user navigates a winged avatar through a purple-hued nighttime landscape, briefly accessing the backpack menu before returning to the world. The avatar runs across a petal-strewn ground toward a large ring-shaped sculpture, with leaves and petals scattering and trailing behind the character's movement. A score counter at the top ticks up to "250" and the message "FREEDOM" appears as the avatar continues exploring the garden.

> **Video Content:** The video shows a first-person perspective navigating the rooftop of a tall building in Decentraland, looking out through glass walls at a purple-hued, low-poly landscape with colorful trees and a body of water below. The view pans around the rooftop before pulling back to reveal a player avatar wearing a white shirt and hat standing at the edge, with a final zoom-out showing the full glass tower rising above the colorful terrain. On-screen text includes the player name "Geance," chat messages like "JUMP BACK TO SINGAPORE CITY!?" and "Type /help for available commands," and various UI panels typical of the Decentraland interface.

> **Video Content:** In the video, an animated avatar with spiky brown hair, glasses, and a head-mounted device stands against a purple background, transitioning through various expressions—starting with a neutral look, shifting to a slight smile, then breaking into a wider grin while raising both hands, and finally lowering one arm while gesturing with the other. The avatar's patterned wristband and white shirt with black graphics remain visible throughout the sequence, and a "+ decart" watermark appears in the top right corner of each frame.

> **Visual Note:** A bearded man with vibrant pink hair and matching shutter-shade sunglasses sits on the ground in a neon-lit urban setting, wearing a white jacket with glowing accents, purple pants, and futuristic sneakers. The image's cyberpunk aesthetic and energetic vibe complement the post's discussion about a creator's bold, attention-grabbing return to Decentraland.

> "Real Talk #Decentraland 

You know what? I understand why people sometimes react strangely when someone comes back into Decentraland full of energy.

They publish constantly. They post builds, videos, images, ideas, tools, and opinions. They suddenly seem to be everywhere. They"

Soon you can do the same. To be honest, if we have access to a lot of DCL land we could populate it all.
