    The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales

      It’s pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.

      Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned

      The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You’d need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop

        I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

        Things like, “I’m level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?”

        Or “What’s the cheat code for an affordable surgery?”

        You get the idea. Life’s a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.

          I wish they would properly announce the UFO DLC already. All we have is rumors and hearsay.

            I’m personally of the opinion that the hints aren’t for the UFO expansion, but it’s probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

            It’s sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

      You’re only complaining because you got a bad spawn. The truth is anyone can make it to the top of the lobby, it just requires grinding and being smart.

      I know this because I started out with barely anything, just a few million dollars from my trust fund when I finished boarding school.

    This thread got me thinking, do we have a replacement for r/outside on Lemmy? That sub was pretty entertaining at times

    Yes. I’d actually love this. Then maybe I’d listen.

    I love it when I see a headline and then hear 1383x youth trendy people repeat the headline. Then they tell me they don’t follow msm and that they cultivate their own views. …I just say… O.K. …because I don’t care. Then they act like they had the biggest mic drop because I didn’t want to hear the same dumb shit for the 5 billionth time.

    The American Dream is not a myth. People will cry abt how they “can’t afford” a $2,000 a month apartment after choosing to live in the city with the $2,000/mo apartment. Literally just move to the Midwest?
