  • This is a really good point.
    Republicans sell to their base that they need to always be on edge, scared of a threat that doesnt really exist so they think they are good at defending themselves and their families from threats.
    But this is inviting real ones. Legitimate threats and dangers to our lives that they will not be prepared to defend against the same way they can against a young person wearing clothes they think dont match their gender stereotype.

    They will view this as a positive that their protections are being taken away for them to have to protect themselves and it will kill people who thank the abusers for the privilege.








  • Ha yeah but profits must only go up so all the casinos would just pivot to something else. Sociopaths would never accept a 10% margin even on that large of a pool of money. Thats restaurant margin territory and you dont see the mafia running many legitimate restaurants for the income.



  • Imagine you are a boomer who has had a near infinite money glitch but its only ever been cost of living plus 10%. You always have that spare cash but it doesnt get above 10% extra. Its a boring amount and you want to be actually rich.

    Now you could squirrel it away and actually save that money but thats boring when what you could do is gamble it every month cause maybe it will make you have a huge amount of money (which it wont) out of just pure luck and you didnt need it cause your basic costs were always covered so you never thought of saving it or giving it to anyone else other than corpos.

    Now add people who also know they wil never have the money glitch who want to be as secure and see boomers making a small return acting like it was worth it and they decide if they gamble the few dollars they have they will finally get a return that saves them from poverty (it wont).

    Congrats you now understand it hopefully.



  • You know what? The future is probably not PC handhelds then. Android is having its own sideloading issues but the real difference between an android based handheld and the premium PC ones is the ability to play AAA games and stuff with anti cheat but i personally… Dont really care to play those games these days. They suck.

    We now have steam for android emulators and Valve is working on their own.
    Have you seen what $200 will get you in that space? The Anbernic RG556 has an AMOLED screen and then all the functional usefulness of an android 13 phone. With hall effect sticks and triggers attached.

    If we want small lighter devices we need small lighter games and to push studios to make them if they want to sell to us.


  • Any game like vampire survivors.
    Passive bullet hells.

    Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
    Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are “fine” but barely different.

    It’s easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.
