Just install a game boy or nds emulator on your phone
Elon?
I used to play gatcha games... never again. That shit should not be available, much less to children.
I quite like generous f2p friendly gachas like the hoyo ones. It lets me get the little thrill of a gamble without spending any money. You just need to exercise patience and self control; it helps to know that if you miss a character, they'll be power crept in a couple patches anyway.
patience and self control
I have ADHD, unfortunately just not in the cards
I've stopped playing native mobile games and just emulate stuff instead. Much better. Playing Sword of Mana rn
i dont even start playing slot machine gacha games.
fuck investing time into casinos.
I thought you said "investing in casinos" and was like "that seems like a predatory but reliable investment choice"
that seems like a predatory but reliable investment choice
this coincidentally crossed my mind just before i read your comment, these people make quite a bunch of dirty money
Ethical casino running: running one in a rich kid tourist trap place to fleece trust funds
I have an addictive personality for everything but not gambling somehow. Binge drinking, drug taking, video game playing all very addictive but a slot machine I'll put in £10 cash out £12 then ride that high for weeks and not touch a slot machine for 5 years. I only consider it winning if the casino is losing
wise
Yeah, I counter my addictive personality with being cheap as fuck and being like "you don't deserve my money" to everyone and everything.
It is shitty that everything is just becoming gambling now.
Look on the bright side: it could have been much worse.
i went in expecting a laugh, but this bummed me out. this shit seeps into almost every game at least a little bit now.
I'm disappointed in you
