    My other half’s mam fuckin’ loves Candy Crush, plays it most (if not every) night, maybe clears a level or two.

    What really makes me smile is that whenever she drops a bollock and effectively renders a grid unwinnable, she’ll take the L and come back tomorrow. Fuck the MTX and fuck the extra time/re-rolls/level skips; she just goes back the following day and tries again.

    Mad respect, if nothing else than to be the marginal player base that fucks with the “line goes up” metric.

      She got out lucky, I knew a guy who spent $10k on WoW in just one semester.

          I know someone that has all the cool game things you can have, and collectibles and rare issues of whatever graphics cards

          They’re in a stupid amount of debt, I have no idea how they are paying it off either, might be something that’s going to collections or destroy credit forever

      Mine was shooting colored marbles from the mouth of a stone frog at a loop of slowly approaching colored marbles.

    In my case, it’s my dad. My mom absolutely detests those “match 3” games and prefers those idle adventure games or roguelikes/dungeon crawlers
