Loot boxes are effectively gambling as there is no guarantee on what you'll get. People in general can get addicted to the rush of getting that rare item the first time (which is usually what happens with a first open to get you hooked) and then either buy more loot boxes or the keys to open them.

Hopefully someone will take it then. Just don't like grindy online games. Don't have a lot of time to play. Barely can play single player games these days lol

Heroic Games Launcher and/or Lutris are what you're looking for on Linux.

With HGL it's simply login and install GOG, Epic Games and Amazon Games games like Steam games. No huge issues I've ever really run into.

Not sure how you got puritanical from that. It's actually medical. Anything in excess will damage your body. I'm just as concerned for people's bodily health as I am their spiritual health.

I think it says more about their actual beliefs in God. As a Christ follower, I believe everyone has their own path to take. If drugs in moderation is one of them, go for it. Hell, it's theorized Moses was tripping on shrooms when talking to God.

Those who fear being exposed to "other" things will take them away from God (beyond addiction, that's a whole other thing), then they never believed in the first. They just use it as a shield to justify their horrible actions.

WINE isn't linux exclusive though. It works on MacOS and would pointless on Windows.

No, we're a minority. Not third class. Hell, Android itself runs the Linux kernel. Should be a few slaps of paint to get it working. (I know it's much more complicated than that.)

Only when it stops getting views. These and similar types of videos can garner views, which can then in turn garner money. If it's a low-effort/high-reward scenario, why not try it?

I don't like them anymore than you do cause they're so predictable but it makes people laugh and thus want more. That 10 second dopamine rush is addictive.

Don't disagree. Small wallet for front pocket is my go to. Just was saying "it makes sense".

I'm crazy forgetful. I'd 100% break it in my back pocket lol

I agree. I was just stating "it makes sense". Small wallet for the front pocket. Can't always wear cargo lol
