Gaming

What games do you like? They don't have to be computer games, but bored games, card games, things like that in general.

I just thought I'd give some feedback when it comes to games and the different styles of players:

I've noticed that, there are a lot of those stupid phone games that you get roped into sometimes with in-game purchases and stuff.

For me, the only thing that I actually pay for is the few dollars here and there for no ads. I never, ok, rarely, ever pay for the in-game purchases.

I enjoy the gameplay. If it's good enough gameplay, I don't mind playing no matter what level or advancement or whatever. Like chess for example, or card games. As long as the gameplay and the mechanics of the game are solid, there is no need to actually purchase in-game stuff unless you are one of those people who needs instant gratification, but that defeats the purpose of the gameplay if you buy in-game stuff.

It's a very sneaky way to rope non-gamers into spending money and is predatory IMO, and oughta be stopped.

RE: Gaming

I enjoy cribbage and several other card games (spades, hearts, pinocle etc)

If it's a phone game it has to be a game where pattern recognition is a strong theme for me to enjoy it.

RE: Gaming

^ what about the enticing bright colors and jingle sounds?

I think that's what got a lot of grandma's hooked on bejeweled and pogo games and stuff. Like being at a casino.

RE: Gaming

The jingle sounds are literally the same thing as when you ring the bell, the cat gets a treat. Like one of those pranks that Jim pulled on Dwight in the office, where he would do something (I forgot) and Dwight would reach out for a treat.

We must respect our grandmothers and take a stand against this menace.

Like when you mention height, it's ringing a bell for Kal to bust in the door and get upset and angry about DNA because he found out he was only half human.
