I'm not endorsing confrontational and counterproductive discourse, but I don't think it's wrong to say Musk is an idiot. Within the past month he was caught at least three times bullshitting.

  1. Pretending to know what a stack is
  2. Pretending to be another person on Twitter to praise himself
  3. Pretending to be the #12 ranked PoE2 HC player

I think by any colloquial definitions, it would be fair, and appropriate to say that he's a moron.

The picture isn't of the chips laying down, the paper is being held up.

The ADL also thinks gluing coins to the road is a hate symbol. Not worth taking them seriously.

I've done 2C-I (which I assume is close to 2C-B).

The visuals are much different from shrooms, I was fully hallucinating on 2C-B, I saw creatures which weren't real, like giant smiling black worms crawling up the corner of the room, and a deer which galloped inside my head.

I'm glad I could remind myself I was just tripping, or else I would've freaked out.

On shrooms, everything had extreme rainbow chromatic aberration.

By that logic, people should just never call others stupid, moronic, imbeciles, or idiots?

I'm not saying we can use the term because they can use it as an in-group term, that story was an aside.

In that specific case, the supervisor had an R-word pass.

In theory I agree, but live service games need to be sustainable somehow. Subscriptions are one method, but create a barrier to entry past the trial phase.

I don't think about the Hoyo model as gambling (it is), as the vast majority of successful pulls happen between 74-80 pulls.

In any case, I don't disagree with you, but simply pointing out the obscurity claimed in the article is false, the system is transparent and fair, compared to other games which are far more deserving of being regulated.

You say tenderly, I say transparent.

I enjoy the game, the fact that I can't get every unit for free doesn't bother me. There's no copium here dingbat.

How? I'm F2P lol

Can't disagree with that, but knowing there's certainty removes an element of exploitation.

Most players don't pull duplicate characters (though you can if you want to supercharge your favourite characters). Hoyo's business model essentially relies on whales who have too much money; not trying to nickel & dime the vast majority.

There is a paid battle pass (which becomes worthless once you're at endgame), and a supply pass (which gives more character pulls). Both are unnecessary, but buying at least one of them seems fair for the level of polish their games have, considering it's free to play.

Don't get me wrong, I think loot boxes are predatory, but compared to models which are totally RNG based, Hoyo's model isn't nearly as problematic.
