I am more referring to late game when properties are largely bought and developed and the losing player is statistically more likely to have to pay more to opponents going around the board than they are to receive money from them. It becomes a stalling tactic to collect more money. UBIs are very important early game but barely relevant once the average hotel visit costs you 4+ of them

Admittedly it is also popular due to the free parking house rule that seemingly most everyone uses, but is not in fact an actual rule.

pushes up glasses

Typically people losing at monopoly actually prefer going to jail and sitting there since it is preferable to having to pay for hotels.

Not that it makes the analogy much less dark though

+1 for Bazzite, I did pretty much exactly the switch you are describing a couple months ago and tried mint first but didn’t love it for gaming (problems with my Nvidia card) but have had literally no issues whatsoever with Bazzite. It just works ™

Throw another one of those beefy arms back on there
