Yeah. Same game, reskinned cards and sold at a much higher price and can’t really play anything else with them. Then over time they add other gimmicks like some ewaste that throws cards on the floor for you and makes the game cost 30 times as much as a pack of cards.
You don’t really own a house at all. Gotta pay eternal rent to the government to keep it
Neither is yours.
Poker is a gambling game.
False. It is a card game, sometimes people gamble over card games and poker is a common one. You can gamble over yahtzee if you wanted to.
Its incredibly simple, no money changes hands.
Steam link to a desktop running an emulator though?
Is there even much competition between them though, I would have thought people considering one wouldn’t even think of the other.
I wonder when the next Rimworld expansion is coming, presumably not too far off by now? Curious to see what new warcrimes it adds.
Sadly GOG isn’t even close to as good as Steam for Linux support.
You can gamble on horse racing too, would you also ban children from watching horse races? Without going into the specific ethics of horse racing its self and just should children be allowed to watch if adults can.
What about football?
AI sucks, but HR sent me some forms to fill in and I would rather a shitty corpospeak AI response than putting effort into answering it myself.
Where do you think the line is that a card game becomes gambling then?
I would have said its when you are playing a game for stakes that have a real value that persists after the game is complete, so when 4 go in with £5 and 1 leaves with £20. Clearly your definition must be different to that.
Depends on the game for what point scaling further gets difficult. I think Factorio can do near infinite with the clusterio mod and from a server host perspective it’s very easy to setup. You just need enough servers, the mod allows cross server interaction.
Seem a few comments recently that seem to think cards = gambling. Balatro doesn’t even use a vaguely standard deck of cards though.
Not that it would matter if it did. But would freecell be considered gambling?
Are you trolling or genuinely never played a card game? What, are you going to call uno (copy/paste from the card game crazy eights and sold at 10x the price) gambling next? What about snap.
You know I triggered the discord porn filter before when I tried to send someone a few pictures of making a pizza. Bare pizza base was clearly far too sexual.
They will be coming for freecell next.
Having cards doesn’t make it a gambling game. It’s also not even really a card game from what I can tell, you couldn’t really play it with a normal deck of cards.
Also poker is totally fine if you are not betting money on it. Played it all the time in my teens. Just give everyone 200 tokens at the start of the game. The tokens don’t represent any actual value.
I did consider getting some poker chips recently but saw it would be cheaper and more space efficient to just use real currency. Start off at £2 each, bets like 1-5p or so. Everyone puts their coin pile back into the central piggy bank at the end of the game.
Wasn’t playing them in the first place. Also a Linux gamer, if you want a shooter. Isonzo. Easy Red 2 is alright too, not quite as polished as Isonzo but it does have vehicles in it and is more single player/coop focused than PvP.
Will me not buying lootbox microtransaction bullshit games make any difference to the industry? Almost certainly not. But it really doesn’t matter much either. I can buy the few good games instead and just ignore what the rest of the industry is doing.
Dude, it’s ok if you just want to suck cock.
Would rather more positive lore, but I guess it is fediverse lore. Just checked from curiosity, all but 2 messages I have got are from Nicole bots, 1 was another spammer and the other an automated “welcome to this community” bot message.
