Inspired by a Reno May short over on YouTube, wherein he observes that a lot of people use 3D printers for making things other than guns, and that those other things are basically cheezy bits of fantasy kitsch....
I had a sort of half-baked thought of "Actualize your NFTs!", but didn't include that in my comment regarding what I use my 3D printers for.
Then... hm. Back when home FDM printers were a new thing, I had a notion that the purveyors of plastic model kits would eventually distribute print-your-own files, and that some form of DRM would be demanded. I don't think this has happened yet.
And of course I think of Magic: The Addiction Gathering, and people who pay big bucks for NFTs, and how a few years back people were wandering around staring at their phones trying to collect all the digital hallucinations in Poke Mongo or whatever.
Idea! Take the basic concept of Poke Mongo, maybe make it ever so much more playable if the user buys the special AR goggles, and make the digital hallucinations NFTs that can only be captured once, so the first player to catch it owns it. And, if a player who's captured some NFTs springs for the special DRM-enabled 3D printer, he can print them out to display on his knickknack shelf!
This is of course an incredibly stupid idea, especially in such a time as this, but I suspect it's so over-the-top stupid that it might actually fly.
