The Lit Bitch

The other night I caught myself doing that thing again — switching between apps for no real reason. A few minutes of news, a few minutes of messages, then something completely random like Hellspin New Zealand because it was there. Nothing held my attention for long. It was just movement. Endless movement.

Then I picked up a book.

And the pace changed.

It has become common to see literary works adapted into video games, arguably more so in recent years as the gaming industry’s ecosystem has expanded. Developers need content, intellectual property and stories to base their games on. It’s a hook, if you will, providing both a platform for the video game to be built on, as well as something eye-catching to attract crossover fans. 

Of course, not every book is suitable for an adaption into a video game. You are not likely to see Marcel Proust’s seven-volume masterwork À La Recherche du Temps Perdu (In Search of Lost Time) adapted into a video game anytime soon. Often it is genres like high-fantasy, spy thrillers and crime novels that get adapted. 

Many books can be adapted into games 

Casinos rarely feel like places designed for losing, because glowing screens and frequent wins create a steady sense of progress.

Most casino players lose money over time, even when they feel active, engaged, or skilled.

People keep asking why casino players lose money because everyday experience often contradicts financial outcomes. A single night may feel successful, while longer records show steady decline.

This article explains why people lose money in casinos through math and perception, showing why gamblers lose money long term even when wins appear often.
