In one of his streams with one of his old friends in the chat he said he used to beg for dollars in the Skate park when he was 16, so I don't think it will stop any time soon.

As far as math and computation goes, this shit is very simple and most Wall Street blackpools in the 1990s were more sophisticated than the RNG generators that Stake outsources.
Good random number generators are trivial to program nowadays and most high level languages have built-in libraries for true RNG. When I made a tool to simulate the wheel game here in this thread I made my own RNG in C using only a single source of entropy because I didn't care to make calls to drivers and even that was perfectly good RNG. Stake can easily use ping, timestamps, mouse movements, etc for multiple sources of entropy.
Everyone initially assumes online casinos are outright lying about odds but there's NO REASON FOR THEM TO LIE. Sure you might think if they rig the games they'll make more money. The problem with that is players are already inclined to feel negative, even under fair odds, because humans don't perceive statistics objectively. People playing under rigged odds would catch on extremely quickly and stop playing, resulting in a net loss of money. Casinos don't have to rig RNG to make money. Casinos win by volume. If one million people are playing a 99% RTP game with $100 all they have to do is wait for the statistics to play out and get their million bucks (or 100 million if they're all like Austin and go until they're dry).
TL;DR is there's zero reason to believe Stake doesn't use proper RNG.
The good old skeevy fuck walks up to you in a parking lot and tells you about how he needs $5 for gas to get his sister to the hospital, after sperging endlessly about some completely unrelated sob story trying to soften you up. Begone junkie!

My understanding is the only randomness is in the seed generation, after that it's all deterministic. The other day I was reading an interesting story from 2014 about a little ol' website called Primedice run by the one and only EVIL EDDIE. Primedice implements the same "Provably fair" concept as Stake but made an oopsie. Basically to make it provably fair, you have to have a way for the customer to reveal the server seed and also trust it hasn't been tampered with so they can simulate the games and check the results were as expected.
Revealing a seed means decrypting its value since the client does hold it but just in an encrypted form. The exploit involved a race condition where by flooding the seed generator, it'd accidentally generate a server seed which had already been decrypted for the client. Seed in hand, they could now guess the outcome of every single game and they apparently went ham, betting 24x7 and raking in money like mad.
Evil Eddie was so confident in his system that he paid this guy out, assuming that he would eventually lose it all since that's mathematically guaranteed under normal circumstances.
In the end, the user calling himself HufflePuff ripped off 2400 BTC before Primedice finally figured out what was going on and booted him out.
I think he needs a punching bag. Just lose it all? Don't hit yourself in the head or crater the walls or door. Don't destroy mom's dining chairs or smash the bong. Just open up a can of cracked-out whoop-ass on the sandbags. He could take his frustrations out on something made for hitting and Stake more than likely would overlook his rage fits.
Plus, we open up the possibility of the gambler to mma-champion story arc.
LMAO those headphones are holding on for dear life. Hugest of thanks to the rats in the discord sewers bringing up content. The small view into the rest of his room is sad to see. Not because of anything he does to himself, but turning a whole room in ratdad's nice suburban house into a crack den while living there for free is just real scummy.

As much as I'd love a Bossman Tyson arc, that's just not the point. You're mad, so you break shit. Other people's shit, your own shit. It doesn't matter. How will people know how upset you are and that you're REALLY GONNA DO IT THIS TIME if you don't break things.

To intellectualize it a little, the relief you're seeking when you lash out in anger comes from the violation of a taboo. It's the same as swearing when you're mad. You don't yell "bananas" you yell "cocksucker" precisely because you're not supposed to do it. Hitting a punching bag is like replacing "shit" with "sugar", it doesn't actually work for someone who has a genuine habit of swearing inappropriately, the people who do that are getting something else out of it, they're trying to signal self-control as an aggrandizement. If you have the self-control to hit a punching bag instead of break shit, you have the self-control to just not break shit.

Very well put. People who comment things like "he only needs to do this one little thing" truly don't understand the layers upon layers of routines and subroutines his brain has developed over the years to become the dysfunctional fuckup that he is.
People always simplify it with "his brain is fried" but that is not the case at all, quite the opposite, his brain has been precisely calibrated and fine tuned to seek gratification.
The same tenacity that helps people learn difficult things like juggling, a new language, drive a racecar, play chess; that has been misapplied by Austin to learn how to seek gratification, it's not going to change, ESPECIALLY if he is not willing to seek therapy (training) to undo the destructive habits.
