  That is totally fair. That’s your preference.

  Gacha games are indeed gambling. If you consider all gambling to be irredeemable, then calling them trash as a whole is reasonable I guess.

  However, it is inaccurate to say that gacha games as a whole are just gambling. They have other qualities as well, with varying levels of investment and care put into them. Sometimes the effort they put into everything else is minimal and they are basically just gambling with a thin veneer of game on top. Other times, they put an absurd amount of investment into the game, story, and music.

  MiHoYo, the developer of HSR (along with Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero) are the later type. MiHoYo has more money than God, and it shows in their investment into their games. The games are absurdly high-effort productions with more polish than any AAA game studio.

  Personally, I am very averse to risk and uncertainty. I dislike the gambling aspect of gacha games (not just on principle, but also in my enjoyment). However, I still play some gacha games because I enjoy other aspects of them. So they’re not just gambling. But they are gambling, and it’s fair if people avoid them for that reason (especially people prone to problem gambling).

  Heh, I know what Star Rail is. Specifically, Honkai Star Rail, one of the biggest gacha games. It’s a turn based RPG, like Raid: Shadow Legends but anime and with way more production value.

  Is that supposed to be a dog ancestor?

  The texture bothers me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deep⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fair.

  Sounds like you need a better therapist.

  Estrogen doesn’t make someone a bottom. A lot of transfems are bottoms, but not because of estrogen.

  I meant the TikTok video that someone showed to RFK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CRAZY PILLS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be 0% surprised if it was an obvious AI video.

  Thanks to American Exceptionalism we have both.

  I had sort of the opposite as a trans lesbian. I thought that I was just really attracted to girls, but it turns out some of that was me wanting to be like them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My waifu is in my username, actually, although it’s a lesser known character. It’s Mk23 from Girls’ Frontline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe there are stupid questions. :P

  Only 50/50? Can I spam the button to get both guaranteed?

  Bold of you to assume that I can afford to keep nice furniture like that

  If it were government controlled, it would be accountable to the people, to the extent that the government is democratic (ideally, much more than it is now), and would also be run as a service rather than for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the short term, I think that collectively being Karens about it would be to reverse the pressure, by steering the monopolists away from oppressing us. Because they are mainly motivated by money.

  In the long term, take away their monopoly power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant pressing the payment processors, like those prude activists are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because they always have been doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s definitely not good for private companies to have monopoly power like that. That power will only be used for their gain (and our collective loss).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a strong believer in democracy. I don’t think that the answer to a bad government is to reduce the power of the government, because that power will inevitably go to undemocratic institutions. Only the government is accountable to the people. So even when the government is currently controlled by people I dislike, I still want more things to be brought under the power of the government rather than privatized.

  The answer to bad government actions, in my view, is to fight for a more democratic government, and zealously advocate for good ideas among the voting population.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since this is caused by activist pressure on the payment processors, perhaps a grassroots activist campaign of our own could change their mind. Especially if we threaten to stop using their services in favor of any competitor that allows all legal purchases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In theory, crypto could be good for this, but crypto is used (and designed) more as an investment than a transaction tool.

  Also, the issue here is not centralized currency under a government, it’s centralized payment processing under monopolistic private companies. Crypto is not required to solve that, all that is needed is an alternative payment processor.

  It’s not that, it’s that I’m moving to a different state and he’s not licensed to see patients in that state. :P

  He told me that I need to find a new therapist.
