Yesterday, when I visited OpenSea's page, I was surprised to find 0xMahjong as the leading trending collection. Shortly after, I came across an enlightening thread by user MarioMCP that covers various aspects of the 0xMahjong ecosystem, including:

• Their funding

• UI/UX

• The game itself and its different modes - a surprising Auto-battler for instance

• The in-game token - spoiler alert: it's a stablecoin!

Interestingly, a few years ago, I had the desire to learn Mahjong and discovered that many online platforms featured waifus/husbandos as characters. It's amusing to note that this web3 version follows the same pattern—some things never change!

I am definitely keeping a close watch on both the game and its ecosystem, as the token choice is particularly intriguing, and might help solve one of my biggest gripes with gamefi.

In this incredible video, Save Data delves into the process that led Koji Kondo, the talented creator behind Mario/Zelda and various other Nintendo soundtracks, to find inspiration in Spanish flamenco for the Gerudo Valley Theme in Ocarina of Time. This decision had a significant impact on the tone of the subsequent sequels.

The video also delves into the Gerudo aesthetic and provides a captivating history lesson, drawing parallels between Muslims and Christians in Europe and the Middle East.

It's truly fascinating to watch!
