i will never understand why people would be dumb enough to play in online casinos, or any other form of digitalized gambling. this includes slots.

Nonono, you don’t understand, dude. See, there’s these hats, right? But sometimes, the hat has this super rare effect, see? And, if I spend $2.50 per crate key, I can sell that unusual hat for more than I spent on the key, making profit. OR — hear me out — or: I could spend the unusual i unbox on MORE crates and keys, and get more unusuals.

That’s not digital gambling, right? Right.

What about when there was that bug in 2019 that made it so you could only get unusuals?

I made hundreds that morning from selling all of my old crates. It was amazing.

Quick edit: oh dick, that was four years ago already?!
