don’t go the the casino
pirate $600 worth of games
Infinite money glitch
I have been known to share similar budgeting justifications but instead of Pirating and video games I used the amount I would normally spend on a night out drinking. Figure $120 for a half ball. $100 for drinks and tips. Food $20-40. If I had no problem pissing all that money out my dick hole the next morning as being all I had to show for it, then I have no problem throwing that kind of money at something I’ll have or use for months or years.
Whats a half ball? Is this cocain related?
Yes, half an eight ball
I think it’s half-bail, meaning they got arrested every other time they went out drinking.
Lol why even comment if you know nothing about bail or the context of what a ball or half ball is? It’s a half a ball of coke so 1.5 grams cuz a ball is 3 grams. As for the bail, where the fuck have you ever heard of bail being set for $120 🤣. Bail is a tool used by the justice system to combat flight risk offenders. They set it either just high enough to make sure the person shows up to their court dates so they get their bail money back or they set it so fucking high the offender can’t pay it and must remain incarcerated from the date bail was set at the arraignment until the case is complete. The latter is used for people with a history of not showing up to court or for people who are extreme risks to the public.
Yes, I know. It was an intentional “misunderstanding”, i.e. a switcheroo, or a joke. I guess it didn’t land for you.
Why would you set aside bail money assuming you’ll get arrested 50% of the time? That’s just ridiculous…
Man I used to go out all night on maybe 1/10th that budget haha, say 10/30€ on class As, 10€ on pregame drinks, 10€ on club entrance (then on water all night). But I have a friend that spent similarly on night outs and also uses it the same way you do as justification.
And when I started drinking bars still had $0.25 draft nights and $0.10 wings. Yeah, that’s not a typo ten fucking cent wings. Used to get all sorts of fucked up for like $10. I’m not even crazy old, I’m 37. I was definitely 17-19 years old when a local bar ran twenty five cent draft night but the wings, I was 21-23 when that was running.
And how many hours will you play those games?
Depends on how long you play until you run into a game breaking bug and realize you’re now SOL.
Most of them? 0.
Heck, most of them will sit there in the library list forgotten, to be absentmindedly scrolled past in five years’ time with the thought “I really should install that game and give it a try… someday…”
Mmm, yes, the blessed consumptionism
Exactly. Videogames are some of the best value for entertainment you can find. There are a couple of games in my steam library that have cost me a few cents per hour of fun.
Paradox games, even with all the DLC, I get thousands of hours out of them. I definitely get my money’s worth that I don’t mind spending $20 on them every few months.
I’d rather gaming developers have that money than casinos.
Too bad money goes directly to the publisher to decide who gets what.
I’d rather indie devs have that money than greedy corporations and casinos.
Same. Most of the money I spend on games goes to indie devs, and I’ll usually only buy a AAA if it’s either on steep discount or actually really good. Something like 70% to indies, 30% to AAA.
They won’t admit it, but most AAA game companies are casinos
If only it was the programmers and the development team that received 100% of every purchase.
100% is a bit absurd but a large portion of the income yes
Yeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.
I’m willing to be ridiculous, because the pittance most workaday programmers and designers get from their hits is also ridiculous.
