Gambling but it’s in the game you play everyday and such
crystal forum
the gamblers arent the ones with the big money inventory
hallow plover
There's people who spend 100 to buy a new game every month and others play the same game for years and spend 100 per month on skins and such
burnt maple
the gamblers arent the ones with the big money inventory
Amen.

it's genuinely like a crypto market at this point
people who got in early made a lot of money
well, a lot by steam inventory standards
hallow plover
I should liquidate my dota inventory but it would take so looooong
crystal forum
nobody's retiring on cs:go money
also the thing with this kind of market is prices inevitably go up always
because old skins stop being produced
so in the end it's kind of a good investment on paper
full obsidian
Now that I think about video game skins were basically NFTs before that term existed
crystal forum
main problem ofc is it's entirely up to steam to control
and if the company goes bankrupt you lost your savings
and they have pretty much zero legal obligations to owe you your steam money
it's not a bank
full obsidian
and if the company goes bankrupt you lost your savings
I mean it's the same with any crypto market really, but yeah steam skins is probably even sketchier
crystal forum
it's just a dumb investment unless you live in a poor country

Regardless of you are poor
There are probably better things to gamble on anyways if youre gonna go that way
crystal forum
the ones winning here are the gambling websites

You mean the ones for the steam skins too?

if you want to make money off of gambling, the only sure 100% method is owning a casino yourself
crystal forum
You mean the ones for the steam skins too?
yeah third party websites
wintry cloud
Dudes giving us the gambling PSA
crystal forum
if you sell skins on steam market they take a huge chunk
and they pay you in worthless steam money
third party websites pay you real money
and the gambling has better odds in your favor compared to opening boxes which are straight up just a scam
full obsidian
Third party websites are scams too lol
crystal forum
ofc it's still gambling
but you can genuinely sell your stuff for real money
and make a better profit than selling directly on steam
the reason i have so many boxes is because me and my friend would gamble on csgopoor

impossible unless you try to bankrupt a casino

impossible unless you try to bankrupt a casino

having a casino go bankrupt is definitely hilarious
storm jungle
Although he has never filed for personal bankruptcy, hotels and casino businesses of his have declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009 due to its inability to meet required payments and to re-negotiate debt with banks, owners of stock and bonds and various small businesses (unsecured creditors).

We all look the same according to SOME people smdh....
How much longer will we humans tolerate such unprompted xenophobia?
tough haven
Sure
Charnal pit: The ruststalker ambushes/kidnaps a few NPCs and mutilates them until they are unrecognizable, then fading away so it can watch the fear take hold. (Dn 3 fear test on discovery)
Ghost in the machine: The ruststalker releases corrupted machine spirits into a vehicle, tech use test vs driver’s pilot, on success vehicles becomes Out of Control, on a shift, the ruststalker may decide a trajectory for the vehicle to take
Unwanted gift: The ruststalker plants a remotely detonated explosive somewhere near the party, able to detonate on proximity or with a specific trigger from the ruststalker, uses frag grenade profile.
Warp visions: Due to the Ruststalker’s blasphemous influence The party and companions begin to experience otherworldly illusions that feel entirely real to each victim, dn 4 (5?) corruption test.
Navigation error: Through a combination of perceptual illusions and interference to guidance systems, the party is led in the wrong direction, delaying them or leading into an ambush. Dn 5 survival check to find the correct path, or a DN 5 psychic mastery test to recognize the illusion. Failure increases the length of travel by one stage
These are the options I have
I feel like I need just one more

Yes
Normal authoritarian empire stuff
But it’s closer to life
And also drones would be more fun for automation stuff
Imo
And labor distribution
rustic patrol
only reason they use drones and not servo skulls is because Tau skulls < Human skulls
arctic talon
My point is tau as a baseline are less extreme
So the difference can be much bigger
Which is what I enjoy in frostpunk
As a baseline it’s extreme but not entirely awful
But you can easily become exponentially more awful for the sake of survival
As a baseline the imperium has servitors and such already
People expect those things so it’s not as shocking

Also you’re not supposed to kill other stormcast and there’s stormcast mages around to make sure they don’t die

I was just curious because i always thought that space marine skeletons were fairly different from ours (mainly the fused ribcage thing). But the ones on models look like just upscaled normal skeletons. Was just curious if it was a bit of an inconsistency between lore and models.

trademark isn't a copyright. both are different things
a trademark is like the disney logo

no i can trademark it just under the assumption i'll be selling the game

you can register a trademark, but it'll cost money to maintain
it's like a patent, but for names and branding (keyword "like" not exactly what it is)

you also have to justify a trademark afaik
since you can't just trademark anything

How long did it take for them to be taken down lol
They had to go to court over it and GW got told they couldn’t make rules without miniatures
After the fact
lol
But Chapterhouse also got told to quit it
