I swear on everything that I've read this article word for word years ago but replace gen z with millenials

The internet is full of enough bots without making a bot for every dumbass thing on the fediverse, but I guess we really are reddit 2.0

The patches are good options in my opinion but ultimately I just needed to drop nicotine all together and have the willpower to say no.

Edit: the best piece of advice I can give is you have to be deadly serious about not smoking, anything less than full commitment is a failed attempt.

It's even better if you call it by it's number of release in the whole chronological series, which would make this call of duty 52.

Thanks for the advice. I'm honestly trying to wrap my head around the appeal or what it does for her. The app is called Gold and Goblins, and it's an idle game. I've never understood idle games as a genre but I want to try to come from an understanding place. I'm a PC gamer myself (factorio currently) and I'm used to paying once for a game and being able to play forever.

I mean I have my own problems as well, my addictions are caffeine and nicotine. So I'm definitely not a saint. But it's hard to talk to her about it when she pulls the whataboutism on my vices. I get it, my stuff is wasted money as well. I just don't really see it as the same thing, Noone is compelling me with a time limited event or something to get me to smoke more.

Edit: I'm also actively quitting both my vices, while hers are getting worse. I just worry so much about how it's affecting her and her mental health.

It's funny that it's all about states right to form their own laws until it's about guns.

Literally just found out yesterday my wife has been spending on average 100$ a month on one of these games yesterday, thanks for the helpful site.

Now I guess I get to figure out how to have conversations with her that I never thought I'd have to have.

The whiplash on that was insane.

Honestly the most I've been willing to buy anything gaming related at zero hour in years. Even if this game isn't your speed, wube has been an absolute shining example of a great developer.

I can sleep when I'm dead, the factory must grow.

They made the rockets cheaper and faster to build, it's sooooo good so far.
