At first it was kinda funny, then it was kinda scary:

This guy makes it seem like gaming is entering some sort of dark era and we're in for years of nightmares.

He's absolutely right.

Today I learned that Humminbird is a brand of fish finder.

I assumed pretty much all birds are fish finders. Well any birds that eat fish that is.

Nope, that's a kingfisher. Although hummingbirds do require protein, they stick to insects I think.

I believe he was referring more to the brand than the actual bird in the pic. You are correct though that is indeed a kingfisher not a hummingbird.

God i hate bullfighting so much.

Which is why it's so much fun to see the bull win once in a while. Too bad the matador survived, but he might have removed himself from the gene pool.

This topic should go into one of the gaming subforums, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the issue fully. If people are willing to buy these stupid loot boxes then the game companies will keep making them. I haven't seen one that effects a game enough for me to care, but I still feel there needs to be personal accountability upon the players. If they don't want loot boxes, dont' buy them.. if a game makes it pay to win, leave it on the desk and replay and older game. Expecting a company to not make as much money as it possibly milk out of it's consumers makes me wonder if people understand how capitalism works.

It probably should be in the gaming forum, but to add a quick note, the whole point is that the game companies are exploiting mechanisms in our brains which entice us to use the option/pay for a loot box. It doesn't trigger in everyone, but it triggers in most (and even in those that don't, there's something else in the game that does). IMO personal accountability goes out the window when a company is using psychology to either trick or exploit a programming flaw in our brains.

Like Vegas slot machines? Like super-market product arrangement? Like Sale Price? Like naked ladies in the ice?

Yeah, pretty much.

Enough of this stuff makes its way into the public eye and there will be actual regulation against it. It's relying on exploitation of the human mind to exfiltrate money from a person, rather than relying on the product being something worth buying. The Ferengi would be proud.
