Nothing against repacks, but it really doesn't have anything to do with cracking games, and anyone competent enough to use Lemmy and sub here know about fit girl at this point.
Lets keep this space for discussion, and the subreddit can be for spam/advertising
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
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.
That's what makes it gambling, tho. You can't go a casino and just buy the prize from a slot machine.
Yes, that's how most people react to those things. You knew, even then, that you were unlikely to win. But that's the thrill, beating the odds. I
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.
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 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
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
Do those people ban thier kids from arcades? Playing claw machines and stuff? I'm genuinely asking
Inb4 "sense of accomplishment" I'm not taking about obviously predatory practices here, more of the basic stuff.
So from what I understand, people are against loot boxes, because they are like gambling for children. I argue that gambling isint inheritly bad, and therefore loot boxes aren't either. The vast majority of people are able to go to a Casio and have a fun night. The vast majority of children can go to chuck E cheese and not become degenerates. Yes some people go overboard with it, but that's the same with alhocol, weed, food, etc.
I think a teenager pulling a double shift and spending some money on a virtual slot machine to win a virtual knife skin or some shit is perfectly fine. Yes, some will go overboard, but I think most people are okay.
Change my view
Edit: down voting because you disagree with me is going to lead to the same echo chamber we had on reddit. I'm actually trying to have a discussion on this
Crytpo isn't inherently anonymous. you can easily follow coins.
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.
Thats a good idea, and ill keep that option as a last measure type deal. Hopefully editing the contacts app fixes it. Thanks dude!
That is the most bitch way you could have asked me to do that.
Okay, i understand that you are coming from a place of wanting to help, and you didn't need to do that, so i appreciate that aspect of this response.
But dude you pulled a lot of context out of a very short post. I'm asking how to change a picture and you recommended me seek mental help.
I dont know why i didn't think of that, lol. I'll try it and see if it sticks this time. thanks dude
Yes, because they are the least likely to know they are a part of a botnet
I upload to the snahp forms, and i have found some hard to find stuff for dudes on reddit or whatever, but mostly i just seed
Thats hilarious. Is it still super bloated?
except that the exchanges get hacked/shutdown/blackamiled every third wednesday. Ooops, lost a thumb drive, there goes 10 grand of crypto.

This has to be a scam of some sort, but i don't even see how the people at the top are making money.
I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
