Let's actually look at coke vs. No Man's Sky.

Where I live a half a gram of cocaine costs $30. A half a gram is enough for 4-5 lines and a few key bumps. That's enough to keep you high for roughly 2-3 hours depending how you space it out. The maximum one could do is about 1.5 grams so roughly 90$ for a maximum of 9 hours of entertainment. About 10$ an hour. This is all assuming a casual user with moderate to no tolerance. An actual coke head would be consuming more cocaine just for the same amount of entertainment.

NMS is 60, and even a short game offers 8 hours of entertainment. At 6 hours of play you would reach that 10$ per hour mark where it takes 9 (and a possible overdose) to reach the same mark with cocaine. With a game like NMS you're looking at 10+ hours of entertainment so you have a minimum of less than 10$ per hour of entertainment with the cost per hour going down as you put more time into the game, being that there is no maximum enjoyment.

So indeed playing NMS is cheaper than casually doing cocaine.

What happened to the xbone shark tank thread?

Moved to cccc, under byob, and that removed all the "jerk detected" posts so I guess it got better... but don't worry, now you can slapfight in the hugbox/safe space for boners.

Actually it's a bit sad, but whatever, videogames are good, people. Even Dark Souls Borne is good.

Actually, I like being a mod

Are you the mod that puts tits on crabs in skyrim or the one that just transforms spiders in bears in the same game?

i won't be silent any longer: EVE Is Good

Too bad I recently doubled down on my allergy of MMOs but the Eve economy was top notch for the month I played and I still love from time to time to read about people playing it.

10 - Animal Crossing. Jared hasn't played Animal Crossing in a long time. So long that there are weeds everywhere. It's been 640 weeks! Shaking trees can get the player rewards, like money or furniture, but sometimes - beeeess. Day ruined. You look stupid once they sting you, and the other villagers make fun of how ugly you look and how stupid you are for messing with bees.

No Donkey Kong 3 or Buzz Bombers.
