>>43957982I just spent 30 fucking dollars on lousy Pokeballs in Go so I could catch fucking Meltan, and in 3 days I'll probably spend another 30 just to get a goddamn Melmetal. SwSh has predatory financial practices, but they're not on the level of Go. Not by a long shot.
I spent $40 on pizza last night that tasted like fucking cardboard, delivered by a driver that was going to return it to the store because I refused to break quarantine, during a global pandemic. Apparently "leave it on the porch" was too much for his pea brain.
I had $10 taken out for an Animelab subscription I haven't used in a month, and I spent $30 on a mobile phone bill, for the privilege of using my own home's WiFi connection to message my friends and family over Facebook because I don't call people like a fucking dinosaur.
There's a lot of things in my life that I consider a waste of money. Pokemon Sword is deeply flawed, yes, but it's not one of them.
