Gatcha games

     I'm just wondering how gatcha games are legal. In case you Don't know what a Gatcha game is, It's normally a mobile game with a story and a pvp game mode but every 2 weeks or so there are banners with a new character for the game and the character most of the time is needed to compete in the pvp game mode. There are different tiers of characters most gaming using the r, sr, and ssr rarity. Of course the new character these games release are always ssr and normally overpowered so players are obligated so summon and try to get this new character. The catch is the chance of obtaining this new character of course is incredibly low. I play a gatcha game called 7ds grand cross and genshin impact. Lets talk about 7ds rates, First the chances of getting an r character is 60%, the chances of getting an sr character is 36%, and finally the chances of getting an ssr character is 4%. you might think that's not too bad but unfortunately you are wrong. that 4% is split up between 19 different characters. The devs are a little bit generous by making the character rate up but that only means it goes from .2% to .25%. Yeah the chances of you getting this character is horrendous, with little ways to get gems in the game of course they offer bundles for stupid amounts of money to get more gems to summon more. Obviously this sounds a lot like gambling because that is practically what it is. So back to my question how are these legal for kids of any age. There are hundred of gatcha games out there based of lots of different shows or games or just original characters and they're available to anyone who has a phone, iPad, computer, laptop etc. It sounds to me just like foreplay leading to a gambling addiction. I know there really is no way to enforce a rule to stop any kids from downloading these games it's as easy as clicking download on any appstore because they are completely free to download., but there has to be some sort way to enforce something to stop kids under at least 18 from playing these games. When I was around 8 or so I got my first iPad mini and downloaded a gatcha game, but of course I didn't know it was anything like that, and I spent like $300 to try and get this dragon thing but I didn't know I was spending real money. I'm sure there are lots of other stories of kids doing this so I think they have to think of something to stop younger kids from playing these types of games.

    You are unfortunately quite right about these sort of pay-to-win games. These apps are not required to provide any sort of warning against children with no better knowledge from playing them. Often the best way to avoid such a mistake is to disable in-app-purchases at a system level to stop these purchases.

TV

      I feel like there are no more ideas for TV shows. I mean the only good shows that came out this year that I can think of are the Marvel Series, but then again the only that I've heard was good is Loki. So that makes me wonder when someone is going to create a new form of entertainment. Obviously there will  always be sports no one will ever get tired of live games even though they're the same thing over and over again, yet when shows come out that are just the same as the others people get tired of them after a few episodes and stop watching. Content creators on YouTube come out with new stuff just about every day, some the same as others, and people never really get tired of them.       My question is why? It's practically the same as TV so why don't shows that are pretty much the same as other but with different characters get the attention? One answer could just simply be that most TV watchers are just older people who don't really k...

math teacher

      Won't name any names but my math teacher is bad. On Mondays he has a 'homework day' where he doesn't teach anything and just pairs random kids up to work on the homework even if both kids aren't done you aren't allowed to work together one person has to help the other no matter what. Kinda stupid but whatever. Then on Wednesdays he has his lecture days where he finds all the mistakes he did in the notes, there's a lot, and goes slow as all hell and only gets through like half of the notes if we're lucky. So not only does he not know his own notes he doesn't know his homework either. He makes the homework significantly harder than the notes that he doesn't get all the way through. So on homework days when students ask questions from the homework he does it on the board and get confused on his own problem and waste half the class time just doing this one problem instead of helping all the other students who need help. He doesn't solve the...

games

      finding some good games to play recently has been upsetting because there just isn't any. I recently started Destiny 2 again and it's been fun but I don't really know anyone who still plays it so it won't last long before I'm done with it because I can't get any of the actual hard fun content done alone. Cyberpunk was the last really hyped up game I can remember and that was like the biggest let down I've ever seen, Don't buy it just go play GTA V. Or if anyone still plays destiny let me know, I only recently started playing don't make fun of my light 💀
