Trying to explain bitcoin
World of Warcraft primed people to accept a lack of physical existence as inconsequential.
Funny, but a tangible item is much easier to market.
It's only been in recent human history that we have decided to accept currency sources that are technically not backed by a physical equivalent and. Even then, until bitcoin and other recent crypto-currencies started appearing, we required the force of a large body behind it like a government.
At least with items like gold and silver, people knew that it was an unknown new item that had limitless potential. Imagine a person coming up to you ages ago and saying, "I've filled an empty mine with rocks, but every 1000th rock is blue. I am the only one that can allow access to the mine, so I can manage the rarity of the blue rocks. What I want you, and the other people to do, is treat these blue rocks as valid trade items." I can almost guarantee that you, or anyone for that matter, would say that you would do that only if that person speaking to you guaranteed to make the blue rocks redeemable for valid currency from him at your discretion.
That is one of the problems many have with crypto-currency, the guarantee factor of being able to convert to a more recognized form of monetary unit. It's changing now, but it is still going to be a rough road since the only true guarantee at the moment is that multiple places are starting to recognize it as currency. It could be amazing, but it also has massive potential to financially cripple a lot of people if they trade goods/services for it and it flops.
Negromancy or Necromancy
I once played a Negromancer in World of Warcraft.

Ready Player One trailer 2018
Though there are plenty of things in the book that werent from the 80s themselves. Mechagodzilla is from the mid 70s. Ultraman is from the 60s. Heck Monty Python and the search for the holy grail was in the mid 70s, but it really didnt take up till the 80s. Even lepordon was from the late 70s.
The oasis had mentions of World of warcraft and stuff from Firefly. Im pretty sure Halliday would have liked the Iron Giant, the 50s or the 90s version.
From what i hear, they couldnt get the rights to the Monty python bit. So they had to fill that part with something else, possibly the race. And they probably couldnt get the rights to war games either. The movie is gonna be a whole hell of a lot different than the book, but the general premise of the plot should still be the same
Spot on analysis. Don't get me wrong--I loves me some Iron Giant, but the point of the book is that everything significant in the Oasis (and thus significant to the Gunters) were things from Halliday's childhood in the 1980s. I do not doubt that an older Halliday would react to The Iron Giant positively, but it's against his thesis that the 1980s were a wonderful time to be a child.
Castro hated the Internet, so Cubans created their own.
re: Internet/totalitarianism/control of information, every single government tries to control information, the media, public opinion, and uses the internet as a tool for that goal (just like tv, radio, print, etc). The internet/access to information in and of itself does not guarantee greater accuracy/truth of that information, and unless the population is educated, respectful, and capable of critical thinking it can easily become little bubbles of echo chambers and a playground for griefers. What good did widespread internet availability do for the last US election? has the internet made americans more free, or more easily monitored and controlled? what good is it for cuba for cubans to have access to world of warcraft, so they can neglect their children who starve to death while they grind up to the next level? has the internet prevented mainstream media from fabricating news / pushing their agendas, or has it given more people a platform for fabricating news, anonymously? yeah, im not saying the internet is all bad, of course there are other very useful applications for it, but its not a magic "improve society" wand.
final thing i want to say, I have several friends who studied in cuba as exchange students in the late 90s, early 00s and yes, they had to make treks to specific places for access but they were able to send emails and such, so this piece is not factually accurate. If the cuban govt was so dead set on stopping people from communicating, im pretty sure they would identify network cables hanging in the middle of the street and easily follow them back to your apartment, not to mention detect wifi networks setup all over their tiny island.

That Time You Were Completely Unaware A Bear Was Chasing You
I know for sure that at least one of the growls was the bear noise from World of Warcraft.

I'm going with the bear from Farcry 4.

Is reality real? Call of Duty May Have the Answer
You clearly have a misconception of the theories being discussed here.
Not being rude or anything
Even the Matrix was a continuously running program, that only crashed & rebooted occasionally.
So don't think it the theory as a videogame with logins and save states..
It's more like.. popping in a dvd and watching until the end.
The big bang is when you pressed play.
So while, I guess, you could pause without anything knowing the simulation was paused..
If you stopped and started, that would create an entire collapse of the universe and another big bang..
So yeah, not World of Warcraft.
More like Cookie Clicker
..with browser cookies disabled..
close the window and you'll have to start from scratch.
if you are living in a simulation, then there were no dinosaurs,,,see?
My Name is Ken
Holy hell, I just decided to watch a couple of his old streams (he's offline right now).
I watched a video of him hauling ass in Diablo, Single handedly (or..mouthily..) holding the mine in Arathi Basin (World of warcraft) vs literally 3-4 other people, and bottom lane support (as taric) in league of legends.
He's a better fucking gamer than I am, dude's actually amazing.
