  • Well, just the usual, slightly less optimistic every year. I believed that world is fair even if it sometimes takes a while, that I’ll be rich, that you can achieve anything if you try enough.

    Over time I learned that the world isn’t fair, that you can’t be rich if you have a conscience and that you can only achieve what the ones with power over you will let you.

    All of that of course has an exception: you might get lucky.

    The most recent change was when I started watching two kinds of cases and what is the usual resolution / punishment. It’s rape cases and who gets to keep the kids when people break up. Rapists usually walk away with very lax punishments with bullshit reasons and women almost always get the kids, even if the woman is straight up a psycho and the man is just a regular guy.

    I wasn’t under the impression that judges were somehow better than the average person, but this kinda showed me that they’re actually much much worse than the average person.


  • So because you do it correctly, everyone else should get fucked or what? Like, you know how many people have bad parents?

    So, congrats, your kids won’t suffer from that (or maybe they will once they have their own money because the path way of “spend a $1, get an in-game item, get an instant rush of feel-good hormones” is forming even with moderation). But other kids may, unless of course you think that it’s somehow their fault they have shitty parents.

    So no, I really don’t want this around kids whose lives will be ruined just so your kids can have a fun time (which they can have in other ways, including other games).




  • Ah, the classic “world hunger is a myth, I have eaten today.”

    I’m not saying there are not the rare gems in mobile games (just bought Don’t Starve on Android last month!), but like 99% of games for mobile are just s money making scheme using dark patterns to influence your brain to give them money.

    And congrats on not spending on micro transactions! You do realize the world doesn’t revolve around how your perceive things, right? If young people are exposed to micro transactions like that, it alters their brains and not in a good way. And that’s science, there really isn’t much you can argue with.
