That’s good to know, actually. Thank you.

Now it will take much less effort to make quick prank QR codes.

Right, that’s why they suggested the quarry. Entirely safe.

Also, while NPCs do destroy furniture, they now shove chests, so it’s also easier to find these paths manually.

It became unlimited in HG/SS, which made it easier, but also more annoying for me when I had Platinum as my hub, because it meant I needed to catch a bunch of junk to trade over to my SS if I grabbed a Pokémon from the GBA games.

Such is life.

Although there are emulators that support loading the GBA games on DS, so if you want that pal park experience you can have it properly even on emulator.

Thats fair.

Getting screwed out of a military pension because that military got your fiancée killed too fast just isn’t fair, and you don’t have to go far back in history to when the child being out of wedlock had social consequences, so provable intent being good enough is a good standard.

I don’t think that’s actually all that important. It’s fundamental to an understanding of NFTs, but not their role in any sort of money-laundering, since you can also just make NFTs using some AI-generated art or make 5000 NFT’s from one low-effort art you do own.

All money laundering needs is the non-fungible part, which is easy to do, just stamp the corner with a limited-edition numbering mark and the 500 fungible digital tokens of a single art become 500 nonfungible tokens.

I remember trying to get my living Dex sent over to gen 4 via the pal park. It was before heartgold and soul silver, so 6 pokemon a day. I’d do things like get middle stage Pokémon ready to evolve by getting them one level away, or holding the stone they need, etc, then as soon as I got them in Platinum, I could evolve them immediately and go get an egg. Called it “compressing” them, because the pal park was such a bottleneck, it was easier to rebreed them. Level 31 bulbasaur, for instance, send it, get it to 32 for a venusaur, get two eggs, hatch them, get one of those bulbasaur to evolve into ivysaur, so then I could store the proper living Dex trio in gen 4. Good times.
You can also just never sell it, but buying it doesn’t help you launder your own ill-gotten money, just other people’s. The issue is creating it. It’s not that big an issue, but NFTs are way more efficient.

For Logan Paul, yes, he wanted it to go up.

But if this painting was laundering at work, the important part is that the seller can point to this transaction as “real”. The IRS or the FBI might be looking into his sudden gains of half a million dollars, but when they do, they find that he sold Logan Paul half a million dollars of art.

The NFT part makes it incredibly easy to generate said art. Before NFTs, rich people would mark up paintings, and those had to go up in value, because they would buy them at 100,000$ and sell them for 200,000$, so the government would see 100,000$ of profit, but the next guy with the painting, he’d have to sell it for 300,000, claiming 100,000$ in profit, and the next guy, 400,000$, you get the idea.

NFTs can lose value in a way real art isnt allowed to because anyone can claim that’s the price, and after the sale, they can be discarded as trash, essentially. New ones can be made in bulk for no effort, and its alright to sell 1000 NFTs at 100$ each, because you can just keep making them and “selling” them and no one has to care about their value in the same way because they’re mass producible without that crashing the market.

Not completely, at least with Skyrim’s rules.

But you could also brew something to do a little bit of healing over some length of time, with fire resistance.

It’s a little more complicated, but it is definitely achievable.

Although if we assume unbound atronachs have always been possible, an old-fashioned Oblivion potion can do the job easy.

You do realize that you don’t get time, generally speaking, to delete things, when a government legally demands your info, right?

As soon as any company sees a lawful order demanding information, deleting it becomes a crime.

If this same thing happened to mailbox.org, you heard about it immediately, and hit all the delete buttons you can find, mailbox.org will still hand over your info to them, as they’re legally obligated to do so. It’s not a gdpr violation or anything like that.
