	Replying to @ibogost Also I’m old enough to remember when Coolio got mad at Weird Al for sending up Gangsta’s Paradise. Now it’s in a live-action Sonic trailer.

	Replying to @ibogost The one thing missing is the vaguely 1991 animal-rights symbolism.

	Replying to @lanalana @Sierra_OffLine My guess is that most microtransactions are either scrip or post-batch processed tho? Does scrip count as micropayment even?

	Replying to @lanalana @Sierra_OffLine This is smart, yes. You can’t have micropayments without either scrip or batch transactions or transaction subsidy. In some ways, microtransactions are the opppsite of merchant banking.
