Yeah that was my read of the game from my first exposure to it. "You have to buy cards sight-unseen hoping to get good ones? That's a scam."

It's like they looked at Dungeons and Dragons product churn and thought "No, that's not shitty enough"

The middle picture looks very much like a young lesbian couple.

Not that there's anything wrong with lesbian couples of any age. It's just with this pair it's... odd.

I can't help it. I see a picture of them and it's like a puzzle I need to solve.

So who is going to be first to set up a grifty EA think tank where the thinking is admittedly all done by LLMs, and why shouldn't it be us.

The real “techbros” are all business people in an actual position of power, not the introverted QA tester just trying to get through the day.

If the QA tester goes home and checks his Raspberry Pi dogecoin mining rig, and is saving up for a Cybertruck, he's probably a tech bro, if only a larval one.
