I’m a lifelong gamer, and I think it’s important to acknowledge that ALL video games are designed to maximize user engagement, just like any engineered electronic entertainment. You don’t have to include loot boxes or other slot-machine-style mechanics to stimulate the same kind of dopamine response. It doesn’t mean…

Ah, so violence is justified if something annoys you enough? Fuck off.

So you think it’s reasonable (and legal) to try to light people you don’t like on fire? Go fuck yourself.

Why does it matter to you in the slightest?

In Rainbows COULD be had for free, but their average take was higher than the normal sticker price of an album at the time. Acid Rap, on the other hand, had no official version for sale. If you wanted a physical copy, you had to buy a bootleg.

That’s because you’re an asshole, and everyone around you knows it. Do better - the people who have to put up with you every day can’t stand you.

I love how the clothing I wear magically tells you my bathing habits. You’re a real perv, you know that?

Why would you “hate to think that”? Try minding your own fucking business, ya creep.

And I take great glee in triggering little dictators like you every time. How about you just mind your own fucking business and let other people wear whatever the hell they want? That’s how adults move through the world. Grow up.

Ooops, I deleted your childish comment. Nice try pretending to be a married adult - it’s clear from your writing you’re not older than 12. Please retype whole message - I promise I won’t dismiss it this time.

It’s cool - the women in your life know you’re a scumbag, but you do you, fake liberal douche.

Recommend you ALSO socialize so you 1) don’t assume people are straight when they’re clearly not, and 2) come to the realization that the term “chicks” went out of style in the 1980s and no woman wants to be called that.

You made a factual claim which is false. People pointing out that you’re lying doesn’t mean they’re DEFENDING the laws - they’re just informing people of the correct information, which you still haven’t acknowledged. If you don’t like the law, try to change it. But pretending it’s not actually the law is asinine.

I know, right? Reminds me of all those lazy movie reviewers who just decided to leave out the whole “Darth Vader is his father” thing when they reviewed Empire Strikes Back. Lazy fucks - don’t just HINT at a huge twist in the story, spoil it for all of us!

“That is palpable, which means you can feel it. It doesn’t need to be explained. It just is.”

That’s exactly what this strategy entails - it just gives them a metric they can actually measure, unlike time which most of them cannot.

I think we can save teaching them “time management” until after they can actually tell time. Even if they CAN tell time, if they don’t wear a watch or carry a phone, it’s pretty meaningless.

“but also maybe even worse versus some decks since you aren’t clogging an opponent’s future draws”

Really? Minor changes to a few pieces of art in a digital card game indict an entire ERA for you? Somebody’s a LITTLE too sensitive.

Whaaaat? I love the Kill Command art, and the Leeroy art!
