A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'll just stop playing it when it gets to that point. I have never and never will pay for a single microtransaction. Plus, I don't really play a lot of games anyway. I don't even play daily. You know, life, work, kids and all that stuff. I can barely play a couple of hours a week anyway. :)

Good on you. Lots of people aren’t that strong and addictions are hard to kick.

Lootboxes have been marked as gambling for a reason.
