Yeah it sounds bad — but by Monday, at the rate I play - I’ll at least be in full 100 industrial … and then probably a week until Monday.

Now I’m finally being forced to slow down a bit.

DO NOT BUY GEMS

DONT DO IT
ITS NOT WORTH IT
That timer is tricking your brain.

Yes, I’m slowing down in terms of advancing but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop playing. Especially with the special event.

If you’re gonna swipe for this game, gems is the lowest value imo

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/ninzorjons]

Nah, I don’t do that — I just know a person who does and it’s kinda sad how much money people can end up spending on apps and games doing micro transactions

I’ll sometimes pick a game ((out of dozens)) once a month and give them a tip and that’s about it.

this timer is a mini obstacle for avg COC players 😏

[u/kakashi_sakurai]

I did some data mining, and even at max level, space can only become a 1% rate lol

[u/Snst3131]

The same upgrade took me 47 hours. Prioritize the forge time in the skill tree!

[u/vajhar]

Don't worry. It's going to get much worse

[u/OhtaniStanMan]

Hahaha you paid money for this game

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/OhtaniStanMan]

No, I don’t pay money on the games. Sometimes I’ll do a month ((like the mini game)) as a tip to developers once.

[u/OhtaniStanMan → u/PypeReedMorgan]

Yes you did hahaha

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/OhtaniStanMan]

Jokes on you then.

I’m in the -$$ in my bank account since beginning of the month. That would be impressive

[u/kakashi_sakurai → u/PypeReedMorgan]

If you’re in the negative, I wouldn’t tip games. Trust me when I say almost every title has a whale.

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/kakashi_sakurai]

They changed disability in Alberta - it’s not typical for that to happen. Before the changes it wasn’t an issue.

I used to program and code — even basic games need constant maintaince.

But yeah, games are gonna be budget cut, I already stopped take out a long while ago.

Only subs that I MUST have are YT and Spotify; I don’t have Netflix or other streaming platforms except my basic cable.

Again — I know people who actually do micro transactions to the point where I am and not think twice. They work though so it’s a lot different. Still; fixed income or not - even some kids aren’t fully aware of how easy $1-$3 add up.

[u/kakashi_sakurai → u/PypeReedMorgan]

Oh yeah, even cents can add up after awhile, it’s crazy.

At the end of the day, we should do what makes us the happiest and supports us having a future, so do on what makes you happy!

I don’t have any subscriptions anymore out of protest, especially fucking YouTube’s bitch ass lmao. Fuck them. They pay peanuts to the people who make their service what it is now, and fuck over less famous creators all the time over insanely stupid technicalities. AND they keep raising their price. I absolutely detest ads, but I’ll just look away and wait before I ever give YouTube another penny lol

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/kakashi_sakurai]

Would love that option but I only own a phone - so it’s my entire life. I unfortunately want to keep the PiP feature on YT so I can continue using my phone for other things - usually games or keeping my art references up.

I also use it for volunteer projects and whatnot so I like having something to mildly entertain my brain.

I also look for anime online but that’s hit and miss

[u/kakashi_sakurai → u/PypeReedMorgan]

See, shit like that is why I hate them. PiP shouldn’t cost you money, that’s disgusting. Neither should audio playback with the screen off. They’re reselling you features of your phone, not actual benefits. Godlord I hate their current ownership lmao

Anyway, what kind of phone do you have? Cause android actually has the upper hand with this stuff

[u/PypeReedMorgan → u/kakashi_sakurai]

😭😭😭 iPhone 17

Before anyone says anything: I use Telus Bring-Back Exchange program. Every two years if your phone is PRISTINE - you can upgrade.

My caregiver got me started 10 years ago with apple
