About Poverty is a Choice

Being poor is a choice, you are just too stupid to not pick it



As everyone knows the simplest way to make money is to trade stocks. If you don't know how, try asking your Fathers assistant or the guys at the racket ball club.

A failure to make enough to live lavishly is a fundamental personal failure on the part of the person.

Just stop working at McBurger-fil-a and get a better job.

In this life simulator you can -
  • Trade stocks like a pro!
  • Place Market orders after-hours during a downturn!
  • Operate on Margin!
  • Purchase ETFs!
  • Take advantage of the working class*!
  • Get hooked to coke as your reach exceeds your grasp!
  • Uncover the cabal of lizard people manipulating the world**!!!

*Don't worry, they are probably black, foreign, or women
** JK its just old white guys

In general the game is ok, but for some reason the in game stock market stops working after 2-3 days and the trends of stock prices don't change.

Normally I go into detail on my reviews to try and be as helpful as possible to those that may plan on getting the game. But in this case it's not even worth that kind of time. BORING is the best description here. 2/10

I would feel bad writing a bad review, since he/she's an indie developer, but I've not enjoyed the game. Basically, you're paying someone to offend you. The offenses and curses remain in part even if you specify in the settings that you don't want that. The game simulates some complex mechanics, but the pixalate interface doesn't make playing very comfortable. Just to unlock basic functions you have to play for days, or take loans with absurd rates. I feel like 10€ is too much, but for 2€ it would be a cool game.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
