I almost qualified for the World Cyber Games LAN event at some point.

But what about all my patreon subscriptions? There is people relying on me!

Most legit websites don’t take crypto, though.

Individual purchases, sure, but I’ll just be delaying them for a months so that’s not really hurting them. The bigger issue is canceling dozens of subscriptions for a month (and then having to re-subscribe to everything). That sounds like a hassle.

And even switching to cash in stores sounds very annoying. I’d have to use a cashier checkout, which means standing in line and then you have to fumble around with cash and wait for change …

… nope. I can’t do it.

Most websites don’t take cash, though.

It’s Spreadsheets: the Game.

Get your facts right.

That reminds me … I should log in and check if my skill queues are still running.

But Nintendo’s isn’t anywhere close to having a monopoly on gaming?

Also, I’m totally willing to pay $80 or more for a game I actually want to play. This really is only a problem for the people that need to buy a new game every week.

Please don’t ruin StarCraft …

Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?

StarCraft: Brood War

that’s only because we had an organized server that had a list of who was next in line to get HWL

Honestly, I loved that kind of meta gaming, all the backdoor deals, even across factions. The drama when some group wouldn’t honour the list or agreements (Been on both sides of it).

I made rank 13, luckily I already had a better weapon from raiding, so I could skip the last one. Good times.

2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That’s how I learned programming.

There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.

Yeah, the amount of time you had as a student sure was amazing. These days it’s more like a few hours a month.

Probably still World of Warcraft. When I quite around 2010, I had close to 700 days /played time on my main, and another 400 days between various alts.
