Being drunk, though, lapse of judgment. I swore to never go to a casino or try hard drugs due to my addictive personality, but that shit snuck in through my phone goddamn

      I quite like generous f2p friendly gachas like the hoyo ones. It lets me get the little thrill of a gamble without spending any money. You just need to exercise patience and self control; it helps to know that if you miss a character, they'll be power crept in a couple patches anyway.

      I thought you said "investing in casinos" and was like "that seems like a predatory but reliable investment choice"

          Ethical casino running: running one in a rich kid tourist trap place to fleece trust funds

      I have an addictive personality for everything but not gambling somehow. Binge drinking, drug taking, video game playing all very addictive but a slot machine I'll put in £10 cash out £12 then ride that high for weeks and not touch a slot machine for 5 years. I only consider it winning if the casino is losing

    Yeah, I counter my addictive personality with being cheap as fuck and being like "you don't deserve my money" to everyone and everything.
