The reason companies use in game currency is to manipulate you into buying more and making it harder to track how much you've spent.

Let's make a pretend currency like "Meela" to use for an example. Let's say $7.50 buys 10 Meela, and say you want something that costs 8 Meela. How much actual money does that thing you want cost? You might think you have to do fractions to figure this out and the math is too frustrating but the answer is simple. It costs $7.50.

So in this example you have 2 Meela left, but everything costs 4 Meela or more. To keep from feeling like those 2 Meela are going to waste you pay another $7.50 to buy 10 more Meela just so you can spend the 2 Meela you purchased previously. Now instead of spending $7.50 for the thing you wanted originally you've spent $15, twice that.

This is intentional and there's a reason why this tactic is used more often with games that target kids/a young audience (like the sims 4) or mobile games that encourage impulsiveness.

EA knows all this because they have a loooooong history of testing out predatory tactics with both The Sims franchise and FIFA. They know in game currency is harder to track and easier to impulse buy. They know players will spend more on currency to get rid of a remainder they can't spend. They have done this before, studied it, and built these systems. They are baiting us so they can feed on us.

[conquerorwurm]

This nice little bat reminds me of this other nice little bat who was drawn in the 1200s:

This is the only website where I routinely see people say things like “oh this reminds me of something I recently saw from the 1200s”

I was thinking I need a way to use a mask without fogging my glasses because for the years of masking I COULD NOT SEE

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.

Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

Just a heads up right now: on the day when Trump dies, I’m going to be extremely tasteless about it. It’s going to get ugly. You are going to see a side of me I am not proud of. I don’t want any call-outs in my inbox, I’m stating right now that lines will be crossed.

[stoned-dahmer-deactivated201802]

How disgusting can someone be

I wouldn’t even say this about my worst enemy

Forget the fact that its trump. If you agree with this youre fucking evil. Evil literally lives inside you. Wow.

[a-really-bad-decision]

Anyways all of y’all AND the evil that literally lives inside of you are invited to the sick ass house party I’m throwing when lord dampnut kicks the bucket

I feel like all you Americans need to take a look at what happened here in the UK after Maggie Thatcher died. Because when it comes to tasteless celebrations fuelled by anger and the death of a hated political leader, we REALLY pushed the boat out. We had street parties. We had burning effigies. We pushed “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” to the top of the charts out of sheer hatred. Bone up kiddos, and I really hope you manage to do that truly American thing, of dramatically outdoing us with your celebrations.
