I appreciate y'all uploading on my birthday! It's like a little present I bought myself

Paul defending loot boxes sounds horribly uninformed. What games have anti loot box settings for kids? Never seen one in my life. Good luck being a good parent while also hovering over your kid at all times to make sure they aren't tainted by unethical business practices. Then you also have to deal with your kid being bullied by the FOMO issue with a lot of kids game cultures now if you don't buy some stuff for them. So sure you could say no but now you're possibly ostracizing them from others if you refuse to buy none at all. It's not even remotely as simple as just don't buy them for your kid. Also they inherently makes games worse anyway on that principle fuck them.

And half of the free to play games are designed that way to have microtransactions to prey on kids. Sounds about as informed as his crypto opinion that he shares with Bill Maher

TheJimSterlingShow on YouTube did a pretty good episode on loot boxes. I don't know if I 100% agree with her but it is a very interesting perspective the hosts or any fans that are interested in the subject should check out

I see Ted Cruz is trying to get Sesame Street's own Big Bird canceled for his promotion of "government propaganda" on Big Bird's Twitter. Yes, this is a real thing.

Paul was speaking to my spirit in this podcast. There is an entire realm of colorful and deeply diverse entertainment for kids. Society does not need to expand that realm. Especially if it begins to downsize adult entertainment!

Where is the new DDnDD or the patreon goal special that was reached over a year ago?

I dont like the "for the kids" arguement either but loot boxes and microtransactions in general fuck up games. It wasnt that long ago that most of the stuff you can buy in ingame shops or gamble on with lootboxes was a innate feature in games. Even worse are XP boosts sold as timesavers. They make you pay to not play the game and set up the progress in a way that you either have to play a game as a full time job to get anywhere or buy their bs. If you care about games you should hate lootboxes and any kind of microtransaction.

Did these comments get nuked? I was trolling me some zoomies.

Games with loot boxes suck anyway. If your kid is going to be a gamer, show them some proper good games. Break out that Playstation and hand them FF6.

Loot Boxes are starting to to be banned in other countries because not only do they prey on kids, it's also a for of gambling. Which is why what is considered to be gambling needs to be updated to include current things such as loot boxes/crates.
