      Mom has expendable cash and is literally the best at something… Don’t be too jelly now lol.

      Vs half of Lemmy spending thousands of dollars on a rig that plays Stardew Valley…

        I was ready to be insulted, but then I remembered that I bought a whole ass Steam Deck and I’ve pretty much used it as a Binding of Isaac machine.

          My PC is purpose built for VR, I have a Quest 3 and what do I do most of the time?

          Just sit in a cool looking room in VR chat and listen to music while browsing Lemmy or watching videos. Occasionally I’ll play a flat space game in VR so I can have a huge screen. But I mean… I am using the VR technically.

        If it were a game that didn’t use a pay to play/continue/win model, I’d agree that she was the best at it. Or at least played it the most. It’s hard to say she’s the best when you have to spend money to do it and you aren’t playing against anyone.

      Well that’s $1000 well spent if she found joy and entertainment and even something like success by being the number one worldwide in this game. I’ve seen much more stupider Guinness world records. And much more stupider ways to spend money.

      Not necessarily. I’ve beat several thousand levels of a similar game (because I’ve trained my brain that playing it means it’s sleep time and now it knocks me out) and haven’t spent a dime.
