I have no self-control with gacha games and have dropped whale levels on a handful of games back when I was working for minimum wage and needed the money for things like groceries. I only let myself play gacha/p2w games if I can mod them now, because I'm back in college and barely scraping by.
I also mod puzzle games or ad-heavy games, because I like getting in the groove of chill puzzles and an ad every other one is insanely annoying. And time-gating for puzzles is also annoying, because I like to sit down and play for as long as I want.
This community was a godsend, because up until this point I was relying on LuckyPatcher on an unrooted tablet, which limited what I was able to do.
