Please don’t get me wrong. I’m sure you’re a loving parent and just want what’s best for your daughter. But what you’re essentially doing, is giving your kid pocket money to go play slot machines at the local dive bar.
The reason why mobile phone gaming is so bad, is because there are barely any actual games. The reason your daughter thinks it’s fun to play candy crush is not because the game itself is good, it’s because the game makes her addicted to it. This is bad. Really bad. This will have consequences on how her brain handles dopamine. Please, for the love of your family, get her off that shit immediately.

Or you can simply cough up the money and pay for one of the best games ever made?

I filled in all the fields and it keeps telling me “Field required”. I’ll try it later when I’m at my desktop PC.

I didn’t down vote you, but Discord is a huge offender regarding enshittification of the internet. Reddit might even be worse.

McDonald’s fries are quite literally the saddest excuse for fries, what are you talking about?
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 month ago:
Same here. NV was pretty boring to me while FO3 was actually fun.

Harold Faltermeyer made some nice music for the game. Opala is still stuck in my head.

Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.

Fun and atmospheric. Kids love it and that’s ok.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 2 months ago:
I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur’s Gate 3. I’d never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?
- Comment on Burned Loss 2 months ago:
I believe it was because CAD was already under fire by 4chan for being a subpar gaming comic. This just delivered meme material.
- Comment on Anon indulges 2 months ago:
You’ve never seen all of those “zero” sodas and the likes? The ice tea will likely just have peach aroma and an onslaught of artificial sweeteners.
- Comment on Anon abuses benadryl 2 months ago:
The fuck kind of medicine do you guys get over the counter? I have a strong feeling these things are either completely banned in the EU or only available with a slip from the doctor. I’m also fascinated by how Americans don’t seem to question these things. The amount of Americans that straight up take narcotics before stepping on a plane is wild.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 2 months ago:
Hasbro is a requirement for the D&D license, no?
Larian at least went against the grain of the AAAAA Industry and delivered something truly wonderful.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
I know how this works. It’s still a ridiculous echo chamber and I stumbled into a meme community on that instance and didn’t know it and started to discuss Communism. They were very adamant on their stance, despite showing them contradicting evidence. Only then I noticed I was on Lemmy.ml, lol. Shortly after, I was banned.
Tankies suffer from similar delusions as Nazis do. They seem to be smarter however.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
Absolutely! Especially communities like lemmy.ml. I just got banned for criticizing certain aspects of Communism. No alternate opinions are allowed apparently…
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 2 months ago:
The license agreement doesn’t mean shit here though. Its perfectly legal. They’re perfectly valid and official keys.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 2 months ago:
In Germany you just purchase an OEM volume license on eBay for 8€. That’s why I don’t give a shit about all this drama, lol. I’m still switching to Linux once I find the time to do so, because I don’t want to support American companies any further.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
I despise Microsoft just as much as you do, but I’ve never encountered the things you just wrote. Ist that a home edition problem?
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 months ago:
I have a feeling this is a very american thing. Random encounters with the other sex were the norm in Germany (at least before tinder and the likes, no idea how it’s nowadays). Being confident got you a long way. Not always, mind you. But often enough. Most women actually like being spoken to, as long as it’s a friendly encounter. I believe it might be different in America because everyone there is trying to one up each other (often resulting in loud and annoying behavior). I wouldn’t want to be chatted up by the cliche american guy either.

For real! Who uses the handbreak apart from actually parking somewhere? Even then it’s not required, though I prefer it that way.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 months ago:
You can usually change the driving mode from eco over comfort to sport. They all behave differently. And the there’s the kick down, that’ll definitely shift down unless the revs would be too high.
I love driving manual, have done it since I was 18. But automatic transmissions nowadays are really good.

Ice and snow are difficult. But I don’t give a shit about the rest. It’s still way more fun than sitting in traffic.

I’m a mechanical engineer, but what do I know. Just studied that shit for 5 years and worked as one for the past 13.
But the again, I’m from Germany so maybe there is a language barrier between us somehow.
We now know what you mean and you probably also know what the other person meant. All is well.

I believe they, and pretty much everyone else here, thought you were talking about the mechanical shutter that you have to manually slide over the lens.
