There's precedent: MLB Lockout. No ball games on TV, people found other things to do.

It took years to recover.

You assume, incorrectly, that people will always care about said professional teams/sports.

A lot of the "care" is in the communal activity of watching a game together with one's mates. Take the convenience of that away, and people will find something else to do.

The leagues won't survive if paywalls go up. Watching your team "for free" via OTA broadcast TV is how they got so big in the first place. CBC's HNIC was huge. More and more, if there are barriers to watching something, many people prior just won't bother.

Focus on the jokers, NOT the hands. You can easily win the first few stakes with a high card build.

Also remember that cards are scored left-to-right, so chip jokers on the left, mult jokers on the right.

Card Sharp is a very powerful early joker, imo.

Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you're primarily going to be gaming. It's a fork of Fedora by Glorious Eggshell Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.

It. just. works.

v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.

Edit: Wrong Egg-thing

Meanwhile, there's people in that landlocked province who want sovereignty from the rest of Canada. Go try to drink your oil.

Lawyers gonna lawyer. And Japanese companies have never embraced modding.

Don't forget distribution. It costs money to make a nice cartridge. It costs money to stamp a CD and put it in a pretty box. And that cost applies for every. single. copy.

Now compare that to digital distribution...

I prefer it that way; my wife is like you. Classic espresso with the darker roasted and more bitter profile is not pleasant to me, but my wife will say it's perfect; and what I like, she can't stand.

It's as if different taste palettes exist...

Roguelikes, such as Hades. A single run won't take you longer than 30mins (and often far, far less than that – you'll die, a lot).

Every run is progress. And if you feel like you're not progressing fast enough, you can turn on "God Mode" (the protagonist is a god) and gain 2% damage reduction after each death, to make subsequent runs a little easier (no penalty in doing so, either).

Music is integral to build the game's overall atmosphere. At least indie studios still get it: Look at Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Hades, Vampire Survivors, etc.
