    The mother looks like a Karen and her kids behave like little karens.

    I’ll throw the first stone, yes, I’ve shamefully spent money on games. Mostly mobile games, where it’s far worse than Roblox and World of Tanks combined. I play 8-Ball from Miniclip and they shove ad after ad after ad at you to buy chips, buy chests, buy cues .etc

    They have mini-games like Lucky Shot, where you have to hit the ball into one of the targets. Doesn’t matter how soft you hit it, it’s a bitch to get the ball into the target zone. They have a spinning wheel for chips, it ALWAYS lands on the lower valued number. Always. Like, all of these obviously rigged tricks and scams into the game. And you finally play a game or two and you’ll run into players with the best shit who’ll win games over you in seconds. Because they’ve got the better shit. It’s just hard to compete with the whales.

    These mobile games like to make you feel special at first. But if you play it long enough, you will hit a wall. And when you hit that wall, it’s like dealing with a constant panhandler, only in the form of this game, where they want you to pay and pay.
