Rkaydz – The Resurrection of an Idea

These are some odd and unusual days. Trump back in office, missiles attacking Iran and the feeds all worried about World War 3 notwithstanding … it looks like a DesktopEpics Production is beating the odds and having a measure of success.

“Originality breeds contempt. People will be jealous (in other words, 'hate') and the first thing out of their mouth is 'they don't get it'. Only when time and market share expands and the rest of the world is doing the exact thing you came up with first, will you be perceived as being normal since everyone else is doing it. When in truth, time has finally caught up to you.”
