Oh no, I was hoping this was about a Braid remake, like Time Travel Understander! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fABGyVzVwI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_(video_game)
Oh man, I was really excited to watch that video, since I love Braid, but wtf is that voice? I couldn't bear listening to it.

No seriously, the smarmy voice and vocal fry is meant to be annoying -- it's spot-on parody of geeky video game tutorials. And it's well worth pausing and reading the hilarious dialog in the chat logs! But be careful not to accidentally open up your Space Inventory.
I like "World Quester 2" the best, and I recently showed "Pretend Gas Station" to Will Wright:

(Edit: That's a playlist with all of them, from long ago. I really wish they would review some new games now, there are so many ripe for parody!)

Then you will HATE the other "Game Helpin' Squad" tutorial videos! ;) No seriously, the smarmy voice and vocal fry is meant to be annoying -- it's spot-on parody of geeky video game tutorials.

It's amazing anyone ever thought there was a fintech sector when it only seems to have about two useful companies (Stripe and Betterment).
There's a bunch of B2B fintech you might be less aware of because it doesn't advertise to the general public. I spent 7 years at one, Duco, that specializes in reconciliation - comparing data flows from different entities in the finance industry, making compliance with regulations easier.

In the Netherlands we have such a system called iDEAL. People use the app/site from their own bank to authorize the payment and the money arrives on the receiver's bank account instantly and irrevocably (without a judge stepping in). It's also very cheap (like 25 cents fixed). Merchant fraud doesn't appear to be a big problem. Probably because the merchant requires a Dutch bank account, which requires a lot of identi…
I’m not knocking it for Dutch people, but the internet needs a trustworthy global payments system that works for more than the 20 million in .nl. It also sucks that you have to provide strong identity to the payer or payee, sending or receiving payments should not require disclosing identity. That’s a bug, not a feature.
No, it is a feature, just not a feature for the customer. It's also not a feature for the bank or fintech. The strict identity requirements are a feature for the GOVERNMENT, and if you want to avoid them you probably need to start your own government (which is notoriously difficult).

When I saw the title, I thought it is the video game Braid[1]. I really want the Anniversary Edition. [1]: http://braid-game.com
Imo, it's the best game ever made. It's the Rembrandt of games.
