Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I used to play gatcha games... never again. That shit should not be available, much less to children.

I quite like generous f2p friendly gachas like the hoyo ones. It lets me get the little thrill of a gamble without spending any money. You just need to exercise patience and self control; it helps to know that if you miss a character, they'll be power crept in a couple patches anyway.

I've stopped playing native mobile games and just emulate stuff instead. Much better. Playing Sword of Mana rn

Yeah, I counter my addictive personality with being cheap as fuck and being like "you don't deserve my money" to everyone and everything.

It is shitty that everything is just becoming gambling now.

Just play balatro, it's a one time purchase for something really addictive

Look on the bright side: it could have been much worse.
