I’ll give you the proximity point, it is easier to access loot boxes when they are in a game.
But as for the missing out part, yeah that’s how it works. Your friend wins something from the claw machine or gets a bunch of tickets, now you want that. That’s part of the fun, your parents could just buy the toy but that’s lame
I disagree that most people view it as bad. Arcades and stuff have been around forever, and are still being used by a ton of people. Just because you don’t want send your kids to chuck E cheese doesn’t mean most people agree with you
Oh yeah I’m totally down with them needing to be regulated.
As for the kids thing, I don’t put nicotine in the same camp as gambling. The addiction rate in smoking is way higher then gambling. Most 13 year Olds are able to play cool math games black jack without robbing a liquor store
I have to say again, just because some people have a problem, doesn’t mean we all have to miss out. My uncle is an alcoholic, should I not be able to have some brews and watch the chiefs? Some people eat to much sugar, my kid can’t have a popsicle? Some people gamble to much, so it’s bad for my kiddo to play that coin dropping game?
It’s our job as parents to educate our kids on this stuff.
I like a lot of your points, but I have to correct you in one area, I’m not trying to convince people this isint gambling. I don’t think that casual gambling is a bad thing.
Oh to be sure, there are way to many examples of jerks taking the loot box concept too far. But I’m not sure I’m ready to demonize it like some people do
My bitch ex wife updated her google pfp and now every time i open up the messenging app i have to see her face. I clicked on her name and pressed the removed button, but it seems to reload itself every day.
People dont want to know your opinion on support question etiquette, but here we are. Maybe the internet is for everyone, and sometimes that means you will meet people you don’t like.
yeah, but its like, people are scamming people with nfts, using those scammed nfts to issue “loans” to scam people with cypto, so they can scam people with nfts, etc etc like is anyone actually making making money from this mess?
Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don’t belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I’ve been looking up some remote forums...
Hi there, sorry if this information has already been shared, I had a look in the megathread and wiki and could not find something specific to children programmes. Is there a good tracker for them? Preferably a public one. I’m particularly interested in any kind of star wars content (like Lego) but I’m not finding much. Any...
I have had surprisingly good success using qbittorrents search function, otherwise i mirrored most of my stuff on CartoonChaos and Shnap. Is there anything in specific you are looking for?
That’s dumb. If you are supposed to pay for something and you just take it instead, you stole it. You can argue word meanings and technicallies all day, but it’s a lot easier to just be real about what we are doing here.
Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving “trusted” outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game....
Sounds like your getting mad about something that hasn’t happened yet. Sure a few “journalists” will make fluff pieces, but there are plenty of tech reviewers I trust to actually put that shit to the test.
