In the heat of the CS:GO gambling controversy, I blew eleven loons on a Dragon Doppler Skinhub case. I sat there on my 14th birthday, hypnotized, mouth agape as ludicrously expensive JPEG files danced across my screen; against all conceivable odds, I took home a Factory-New Dragon Lore.
After an agonizing week waiting for my prize to sell, I had my dream PC; I finally had a computer capable of rendering a video in less than an hour! The computer I previously worked on had an Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual Core CPU, integrated graphics, and four gigabytes of RAM; a render took a full day at minimum and turned my room into a furnace—I spent the previous year sleeping in four hour intervals, waking up drenched in sweat praying my machine hadn’t crashed in the unbearably hot night.
The greatest accomplishment, this success shockingly didn’t lead to a gambling problem!
