How would you do as a Poor Person?
http://playspent.org/
It's one of those 'you always lose' games. They force a child on you, and student debt, bur you don't benefit from your schooling when picking a job, etc.
There's no option to sleep in your car and shit to really make bank.
>>72829964
Its a political brainwashing game. GTFO bernie
>>72830270
This, also, even if you choose to live as close to your job as possible(walking distance really) you still get fired if you get your car repossessed.
$331, but I would've been able to save more because I don't have a kid IRL, grocery prices aren't so ridiculous where I live, and the average rent in Kentucky is way lower than wherever the creators of this game based it on.
It's like every day you get fucked over somehow.
What the fuck?
>>72831052
Its meant to fuck you over.
Immediately they claim I'm required to get health insurance when people who only make $1k are exempt.
>>72831105
What a dumb propaganda game.
My mom needs $100 medication, my landlord breaks the law (you can't lawyer up of course), I need to pay off my credit card debt, I'm feeling emo and need a therapist etc.
>>72829964
>poor

Is this aimed at non-welfare babbies?
>>72830270
Its actually pretty fucking easy to win, how the fuck do niggers live? Hell, I've always done the most expensive shit for the child and even went for the expensive shit sometimes
>>72830270

This game is blatant propaganda and rewards you for spreading the game on Faceberg with your 'friends'.
Most poor people I know got that way because they did stupid shit like:
-Drugs
-Going to prison
-Having kids they can't afford
-Gambling
-Being an asshole that no one can stand
-Being lazy
So, in other words, all the qualities of your average American nigger.
>>72830270
This was frustrating to play. Granted a few realistic scenarios, like to what to do when your kid gets sick. But no options for picking up extra work, no chance to use my Gender Studies degree, apparently I have a health crisis, legal action against my landlord and car troubles all in the same week.
Game is shit.
I can tell you right now, being unemployed, I have had none of the issues that come up in that game. Three months unemployed and the only issue I have is finding a job. Still healthy, no mechanical issues with my car, and not living off of unemployment.
>make smart decisions
>game hits you with old credit card debt and other retard tier stuff
yeah its hard to be poor in the hypothetical situation where i've had a lifetime of 70 iq decision

That's American education, lad.

I still never understood this shit in school. I don't need to learn this shit, I need fucking economic classes and shit.
>>72833046
It's 3 you inbred.
Also, literally ALL of my friends are servers and they pull in hundreds of dollars a week (they make at least $100 on Friday and Saturday) and they would never have to pay for broken plates.
The game is bullshit. I know poor people, living in a small Indiana town. These people only struggle to get by because they blow their money on new (shitty) phones every 3 months and spending at least 4 nights a week at the bar.
No sympathy for these fucks.

A bunch of friends are going to a free concert tonight, and you want to go – but you’ve got a kid to worry about.
Why would you go to a concert if you're poor and need to look after a kid

In real life, you can literally live off potatoes and milk for next to nothing. And if you're not a retard, you don't need a car, I use a bike for 90% of my transportation, because I'm not brain damaged.

>>72837017
>>implying man can't live off purely on beans and toilet paper.
I grew up in a poor household and can confirm this, except we ate rice which is cheaper. (pretty disingenuous not to include it btw)
>>72837017
>implying man can't live off purely on beans and toilet paper.
This. There's a reason the most impoverished people in the world live off of rice and beans. It's dirt cheap and it sustains you. During my worst financial crisis I survived on three months of rice and beans, buying the ingredients to bake and making my own stuff, fresh produce (which is cheaper than the processed shit people feed their kids these days), pasta with a simple red sauce. Eating cheap and healthy is not at all difficult.
>>72837017
This game is bullshit. Let your friend stay in your house and it turns out he was wanted by the police! Oh no! Talk to someone in the parking lot about the union and you get fired instantly
Suck it, game
why the fuck do you have a kid
why the fuck do you have a pet
why the fuck are you so unlucky
why the fuck can't you pick a new job
why the fuck do you have to buy healthcare
i'm sorry, but 99% of the time being poor is self inflicted.
I went super Jew except for bills and ended up with $369 at the end of the month. 5 Ramen and 5 cans of beans for 2 weeks... cutting for /fit/
>>72829964
this shit is retarded
I got fired halfway through, just because I showed up late because my repossessed car wouldn't start - what? After that they wanted me to pay insurance for said car. No, I don't want to pay, thank you.
No idea how this is supposed to be hard. My child and his friends want $5 for ice cream? Sure, have it. They want me to pay both gas and electricity? I prefer warmth over fucking around on my TV. Whoever this man is, he's getting fucked by fate big time.
THE BEST WAY TO HELP THE POOR IS NOT BECOME ONE OF THEM
>4 pack of ramen is $1
Pretty sure it's like a 10 pack. Game is shit either way.
>>72837017
My work buddy and I talk about this a lot. We had a coworker for a while who would go buy namebrand Doritos and Pepsi with his foodstamps and shit. It was hilarious.
>>72837944
That much ramen will increase sodium levels aka water retention you will look bloated which Is the opposite of cutting.

How many days does it take for the average poor to waste his lottery winnings?
>>72839460
Eliminating yourself from the gene pool wasn't a very wise decision.
>>72839538
A couple months. One million may sound like a lot, but buying a mansion and two Ferraris is expensive.
>>72839538
Probably like a year. Ironically they actually advocate playing the lottery as a retirement plan.
>>72829964
Being poor seems pretty easy, actually. I even had enough money left over to do some things for the kids and take care of all the bills.
Rent is retardedly high in the game though. Where I live, you can get away with having a job within reasonable driving distance and paying less than 600/month.
>>72829964
People who say it's impossible to leave poverty are like fat fucks saying they can't lose weight.
Neither of them have *really* tried.
>>72839716

This is more, "Poor college student living in Greenwich Village while working at starbucks and pretending to be an artist" the game

It also didn't give me the option to fix the car myself which wasn't really fair. A lot of the decisions seemed to be gotcha questions about being too prideful to accept help or not getting to have any fun because you're a single parent. It's definitely closer to a "how upper middle class people think the poor live" simulator.
I made 1275, beat that.

>>72837729
>Talk to someone in the parking lot about the union and you get fired instantly
... I mean, this does happen. I imagine is a % chance of being caught, but if your boss catches you talking about unions or having union materials then you are going to be fired. It's not technically legal, but it's not hard to find bullshit reasons to let someone go.
Imagine you own a company. Are YOU going to let your workers unionize behind your back?

>>72829964
>The good news? Your child is covered by the state.

That's actually a good point. The problem with this system is that food-stamps are designed to be a government subsidy to grocers and food distros and the like. If we rewarded people for eating frugally, these companies would make a lot less money. Can't have that!

Does anyone remember the superior simulator web based sim where you get born in a shithole country and you have a 50% of dying from some meme disease? I can't remember the name but it was popular on /v/ a few years ago. I tried googling but all I get are a bunch of shitty fucking steam indy games. Someone should know. IIRC it was earth sim or real world sim or some shit.

Here's a tip: Most liberals are. The reason they make these silly games is because to them the idea of someone actually being capable is utterly bizarre. They think if you aren't a trained mechanic with 10 years experience you aren't capable of changing your own oil. They also have no idea how much things cost because they're stupid millenials who live with mommy and daddy still. I mean for god's sake there is an actual situation in this game where you get stuck with the bill for rear-ending someone's car even though you paid your ridiculously overpriced car insurance the day before. I am convinced the people who created this shit fest literally just do not understand how the world works.

I remember the first time this game did the rounds. It's propaganda plain and simple - just assumes you've made a string of horrible decisions, throws disaster after disaster at you, restricts your options (so you can't just take up running by yourself, for example) and uses over-generalised statistics to act as if that kind of bad luck is the rule and not the exception.
>YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE MONTH WITH $399

I don't have a college degree.

I can't seem to find the "make his shitty parents pay for it" button.
>You spend the whole day at the free legal clinic, only to find there’s a three-month waiting list for assistance of any kind.
I was assuming more "look online."
>You’re driving with your kid in the backseat when your car slips on a slick stretch of road and slides into a parked car, causing a big dent in the bumper and a broken taillight.
Am I playing as an Asian woman? What kind of inept moron am I? How fucking fast was I going to dent the bumper (of whose car?) AND bust a tail light?
Also, if I'm fucking poor, WHY DO I HAVE A CAR?
>On the way to drop off your kid at school, something blew in your car. You don’t know what’s wrong, but it can’t be good.
"Something blew?" A fuse? A tyre? A lightbulb? At $300 it wouldn't be the headgasket. So what is it? And if I don't know why not take it to a garage for an assessment pay the labour charge, and fix it myself?

1. Right off the bat, $1000 is quite a lot in savings, especially depending on where you live.
2. Why can't I apply for voice acting/writing? These are positions anyone (me in real life) can take up without any job or education experience.
3. Why do I have to have a child?
4. If I have student debt, why can't I apply for a job requiring education?
5. Why do I work 50 miles from a fucking restaurant? Can ANYONE in the fucking USA honestly say there isn't a hiring restaurant within 5 miles of them? Even if rent is cheaper, this doesn't make ANY sense.
6. Yard Sale only nets me $150, why am I not allowed to haggle OR know what I'm selling.
7. $100 for children's sneakers? Apparently I'm black now.
8. WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE A PET?
The entire game is "You're going to lose but how soon will you lose?"
I stopped getting paychecks and now the "game" is nothing but bills until I run out of money.

Bitch ain't getting shit. The people I work with will understand I need the money as a single (?) parent with a mouth to feed.
>Your landlord found out that you have a pet, and now you have to pay a $350 pet fee.
Why not leave "the pet" (dog? Cat? Bird? A fucking fish?) with a member of family until I get a better place?
Or get a place that allows pets in the first place?
>You’ve been experiencing some sharp pains in your chest lately, and your family has a history of heart problems.
I am such a genetic failure. This should be "loser simulator," not "poor simulator."
How do we go about actually making a game that actually mirrors real-life? Because this shit is not only dumb, but it's impractical.
I paid for all my kids activities and my bills and still had this at the end.
Also.
>Factory job, $9 per hour, 7 hour days.

Remake of a 1986 text based game. You make decisions from the moment you are born until you die and every decision affects various traits (intelligence, trustworthiness, confidence...). You can die during any stage of life if you make the wrong decisions and you have to balance education, social life and shekels. I played a bit of it a few years ago but i don't really remember how biased it is. The game used to be free but now it says you have to pay 5$ for the whole game. I tried playing it now (there's an option to skip chapters) and it allowed me to continue to the 2. chapter after waiting 5 minutes and to the 3. chapter after 10 minutes but i suspect that it might not allow you to finish the game unless you pay.
>>72841785
That side of the coin is pretty grim here in denmark too, can't save any of the money and you're worth more to employers as an employee with subsidaries attached.
They let people work that threadmill for 10s of years with little hope of getting out if you have a handicap of some sort.

The cost of the asbestos abatement for both those towers probably would have been more than what it cost to build the liberty towers.
They were going to have to remove it in a year or two if they didn't conveniently get knocked down. They got to start the new world order and saved a bunch of money by using the lungs of bystanders and rescue workers to remove the asbestos rather than paying for it.
Globalists really killed two birds with one stone, or in this case 3000 people with 2 planes.

This is so true it hurts.
How come my car, my apartment, my kid, and myself are all breaking down and getting sick within a single week? Why am I a clumsy fool who can't drive straight or hold a glass vase without disaster occurring? Why do I have a college degree, but can't find a job within 50 miles of my $650 apartment (I can find far cheaper ones in my real neighborhood) that pays over $9 an hour? Why do i have a kid and a pet? Am I just a fuckup at life?

This was ANOTHER thing.
In a 50 mile radius, the best you could find was a $650/A MONTH apartment where you're not allowed to have pets (despite that you have a pet) and where you don't have enough space for your stuff.
I don't know what kind of bizzaro world this is, but most apartments are $500/ or (usually) less.

How can someone get a problem every fucking day in one month.
One day it's your car being broken
even if you don't pay to repair it 3 day later you get pulled by the cops for speeding when your car is still not repaired.
I liked it when I got fired because I talked with one of my coworker in the parking too.

Maybe it's a bizzaro world called NY. Not even the city, shitass illegal basement apartments on the suburbs of LI go for around $1000-$1200, with your landlord breathing down your neck like a second set of parents.
