What about a special lady friend?
Is that real or no?

I do, but do yu really call them friends?

You understand I am talking about playing with people I physically know in person? College mates, local friends that have moved away, distant cousins.....

You never said that, and today the term friend tends to mean something different than what it used to. Facebook made sure of that...

When you have 400 friends, how many actually know you? So when you say friends, I don’t assume shit.

Its a group of friends that mostly don't live in the area, though some do.

Basically we vote once a year on a game and we all get it. (was going to be Red Dead until it got delayed til next year). And its just a standing Wednesday night game. Only prolly 10% of us make it on any given night, but you don't have to call anyone or try and set anything up. Just if you're free Wednesday night, a few of us will be on. We play against each other if there is enough of us, other wise we group and play the public. But no, I was not calling the fucking randoms in a game lobby my friends.

I only had 800 characters to get my point across, but I am going to do it here with more. If people can read/sign it/share it, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am far from being one of those people who think big government is the answer for anything, but I am starting a petition on the White House website to adept gambling laws to include the inability for games themselves from selling "loot crates" using real money.This is a predatory action of the game companies, in where they make it so that people can buy first tier "boxes" with "in-game" currency, but the 2nd and third+ tiers are game type currency that the only way to get it cash.

...This kind of situation needs to change. It is predatory at best, and the gaming companies knows it.

Never gets old.

Never gets old.

It's happened in the US too.

[Speaker to Animals]

Hey, look. Somebody signed the petition.

[The Conservative]

Hey, look. Somebody signed the petition.

Doesn't matter. Some states have already banned lootboxes.

[Speaker to Animals]

Because we shouldn't ever waste the chance to pass laws to protect people from themselves. God forbid gamers exercise agency and maybe not buy loot crates if they cannot afford them (God knows it's stupid anyway).

Go to the gym, betas. The gym is a monthly loot crate deal where you pay between 30 and 80 dollars, and in return you get gains and self-respect.
