Same thing.

To be honest, I don’t even remember paying anything but for some reason everything is accessible.

Mouse is a lovely name for a cat.

My gramps managed to build one, and he’s been dead for nearly a decade now.

Beating up someone because they decided the middle of the aisle of my local supermarket was a great place to park their trolley to talk to some other bastard about bullshit nobody cares about while I’m trying to get my shopping over with as fast as possible.

Good thing I get most of my groceries delivered theses days.

Depends on the country and the type of lootboxes. In the Netherlands for example lootboxes with items that cannot be purchased or traded otherwise are legal. Lootboxes with items that may have monetary value are considered a form of slot machine gambling.

From Screenrant.com:

*Netherlands’ Laws About Loot Boxes

Overwatch Loot Box In April of 2018, the Netherlands Gaming Authority conducted a study of 10 unnamed games, and concluded that four of the games were in violation of Netherlands laws concerning gambling. To be exact, the study said (via PC Gamer), “that the content of these loot boxes is determined by chance and that the prizes to be won can be traded outside of the game: the prizes have a market value.” In order to sell such items in the Netherlands a license is required but given the current laws, no license can be given to game companies, so “these loot boxes (were) prohibited.” The loot boxes used in the other games were deemed legal because they lack “market value.” According to the study, those loot boxes whose prizes wouldn’t be traded constituted a low risk for gambling addiction, being akin to “small-scale bingo.” The marketable loot boxes though, those which are banned in the country, “have integral elements that are similar to slot machines.”*

This happens in my house! I’ve been afraid to tell my wife about this in case it’ll freak her out or something.

Out of the Lemmy apps I’ve tried, this one seems to me like it has the most potential! You can definitely see the Apollo DNA in Avelon. Memmy and Voyager/wefwef come close as well but something about Avalon just works.

Posting from within the app should be top priority for the next feature. Followed by an easy way to ‘upvote/downvote’, reply, report, block etc. Maybe swiping but easy access buttons would be a nice start.

I’d also like to see some kind of ‘hold to preview’ functionality in ‘compact’ view especially for images and videos.

One other Apollo function that I’d really like to see is gif/video scrubbing.

I can reply just fine though. But I concur, creating posts would probably be a good addition.

I loved the replaceable batteries on my Xbox 360 controllers. Just having a batch of rechargeable batteries ready to go meant near endless gaming.

Now a second controller is nearly mandatory and they’re damn expensive.
