Sappy.

Critics like her say the very term "gold digger" reeks of misogyny.

No, the term itself doesn't imply gender at all.

Anyway, I never really saw the problem with gold diggers, it's a relationship like any other - you give your partner something they need and the partner gives you something you need.

So what if one of the parties needs money and the other a young woman to feel better? If there's no coercion and no actual scamming, I don't see the problem.

It was a seriously underrated show.

Those are just small issues that will be solved after few tries.

Well, I like my Fold.

Congrats on the US defaultism! I'm not from the US, so stick your crack comment up your arse.

Because the government has all the fucking data it needs to just tell me how much I owe, but no they force me to calculate it myself every year. Or to pay an accountant because it's a horrible mess of a form.

My main issue is with taxes in general. Well over half of my income (some sources suggest up to 70%) ends up being paid as some kind of tax.

Which is a real shame.

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).

Nah, I'm obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.

Also, please, stop putting words into other people's mouths.

Cool, that's why half the games you listed are just gambling machines in disguise?

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.

Because the games are intentionally made with micro transactions as the main feature.

Like, if you play Witcher or Control or whatever, the focus is on you enjoying the game. If you play Fortnite, the main focus is on getting you pay. The game is probably still fun, but every single thing in the game is meant to make you pay.

Who would've thunk, young people with brains that are not fully developed tend to prefer games with addictive elements.

If it fits, great! If it doesn't, you didn't use enough tape.

Hmmm, tempting... Well, I might try creating one, should be easy. But I seem to remember there being some bots like that already?

Well, it sucks that now you have to choose one or the other, but if you're on LAN mode already, this should be the fix you were waiting for.

Though I haven't tested it personally.

I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a strategical drinker!

Yeah, it most likely isn't an exe but a Linux binary! Other than that, you can probably run the server on your computer pretty easily. You probably won't be able to host anywhere close to the number of players the official servers do, but that's just a matter of stronger hardware.

So yeah, they don't provide the server because they're "evil".

They could also do the bare minimum of patching the game so it allows any server and avoid stuff like certificate pinning etc. and then provide an OpenAPI specification for the server and let the community create their own server if they want.
