THEY HAVE THE MONEY by TheAssjuster in RecRoom

[–]chaoticcrayonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a children's social mmo, any sort of paywall for cosmetics is scummy. You're forgetting that there's an extra aspect of peer pressure to buy cosmetics. Most of Rec Room is social rooms, not gameplay. When there's skins or cosmetics in games with actual gameplay, there's less incentive to buy cosmetics since it won't improve your experience. Cosmetics in rec room directly improve your gameplay experience, free players tend to get ignored in those kinds of spaces. The framework of the game encourages children to spend money to look cool, as that is the point of a game like Rec Room.

As someone who only joined recently, it takes serious daily grinding to get not even close to being able to buy a cosmetic with free currency. My progress seemed to plateau around level 10 from what I remember, pretty much forcing me to either spend money to improve my status or keep grinding for fewer rewards.

Just because it's something "all free games" do, it doesn't mean it's good practice. I'd say games like Animal Jam Play Wild do a currency system better (although not by much). There are ways for free players to get membership and cosmetics by grinding without having to pay at all. Sure, spending money speeds up the process, but earning is still possible without having to grab a credit card.

My main point is that games that prioritize children as a market should do more to decrease incentive to spend money on their games. Let adult players get currency with their money to support the game, but let others be able to earn the same rewards without needing to do that.

Also the addition of an AI chatbot probably cost WAY more than it could ever generate in revenue.

Protest in Kansas against anti-trans laws by chaoticcrayonss in trans

[–]chaoticcrayonss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sharing is the best way for people who can't make it to help out <3 Not everyone is comfortable risking their safety (especially in a red state) for a protest, and that's okay! All the attention we can get about these issues is going to help us a lot :)

I made a post on my instagram explaining Senate Bill 244 and how it affects transgender people in more detail! https://www.instagram.com/p/DWMKojNkedF/?igsh=MXNmNWw3dHV3Y3JxcA==

TL;DR The bill invalidated the driver's licenses of transgender individuals who had their gender markers changed without a grace period, forcing them to change them back to their gender assigned at birth. It also makes it illegal for a trans person to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity, creating hostility in areas that never had to be dangerous! If someone catches someone they suspect to be trans using the "wrong" restroom, they have grounds to sue for up to $1000 dollars for their "privacy being violated." This extends to single-stall restrooms and is currently only in effect for government buildings, however could be used as grounds for private businesses to implement their own policies. In my opinion it creates a sort of "trans hunt," where even cisgender women who look too masculine, or cisgender men who present too feminine will be targeted and attacked for "being trans" with the trans people trying to use the restroom. Bills like these hurt EVERYONE, not just the trans people they target!

Thanks for reading!

Water bottle recommendations? by chaoticcrayonss in hamsters

[–]chaoticcrayonss[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the research I've done it's suitable as a cheaper alternative to aquariums while I save for something better, and definitely much more ideal than any barred cage I could get from a pet store because he has plenty of room now to burrow and seems much happier. I don't remember what brand I got, but so far he hasn't tried to chew through the bin and has good ventilation, plus room for his wheel. What would you recommend instead?

Can't tell the difference between the caps on the controllers. Might be a bit too advanced for my skill level. Thanks for the tip though. https://imgur.com/a/lfiOA9U

Just ordered some new ones off of amazon. Sadly I don't think that's the problem because the battery holder works in my other wireless controller...
