With Minecraft, there isn't even a need for Microsoft to do anything. The authentication servers experience regular periods of downtime/inaccessibility, making you unable to join any server, even if you have already launched the game and have joined a server in that session before. It's extremely frustrating.

You are arguing with a bad-faith throwaway account

Awesome game! I guess that makes the first (and probably the last) game I've played in that genre. Completed the collection in about 2 hours. Would like to know how many math problems (microtransactions) I had to do and how much resources I spent on rolls/packs/lost battles. The battle system is frustrating and I don't know if that's by design or not. Being able to block and heal with hotkeys would make it significantly easier, but there's still RNG. Loved the visuals, the sound effects, the quotes, and the general look and feel.

Why is this flagged? These numbers in the middle of otherwise innocuous comment stand out like a sore thumb

Slay the Princess is a very good one, can confirm. It's best to go in completely blind.

> Wait… isn’t that 50 hours?

> That’s correct. CSS Naked Day lasts for one international day.

Is this really how this 50-hour time unit is called? Can't find a definition anywhere, but it does make sense

Computers don't care whether they are used for good or for evil. I would rather have a culture that encourages using computers for good, and there is nothing sad about such culture existing. Computers are already used for evil on a much larger scale by meta, palantir, etc.

This is extremely disturbing, to say the least. Really makes you wish hell existed for some people.

The C++ code there (at least in the editor directory) initializes and configures godot ui components that the editor is made of

I am actually only vaguely familiar and I was wondering about that every time I saw the format referenced but never bothered to check, your comment is informative!

Isn't the perceived value from "rare items" from those loot boxes based on the popularity of the game/IP that the loot box system is attached to?

Physical gambling is confined to a physical location (like a casino or a sports betting bar), so people have to go there to be harmed. It's bad, but it requires someone to spend time getting there (and if the victim has a family/friends they might ask where they're headed/intervene in some way) and there is a limit to the amount of people who can be there at once. With digital gambling, anyone can spend any amount of money, anywhere, anytime, with no oversight (however little it might be in a physical location). The harm is magnified immensely.

When I was writing my comment I mentioned packs as in digital loot boxes designed to feel like physical card packs.
