I truly believe we as a society should put more effort into treating how people perceive time because it's a serious issue and everybody I talk to about "hey my life is going by 100x faster" says "lol i no rite" which is stupid as hell.

That's like 'hey I feel extreme physical pain every day" then 'lol i no rite'

Basically 10 tickets is just as smart as 1.

I mean, if you had positive EV (and let's just pretend it's distributed better as well), buying 10 tickets is 10 times as smart as 1.

It depends on how you define "smartness" I believe we are saying the same thing, but my only point is the EV as a percentage of the investment remains unchanged so it certainly isn't dumber to buy more. Spending beyond ones means is dumb, but that's a different conversation.

Statistically speaking if you encounter a scenario where you have a positive EV and your goal is maximizing your total then you should do that transaction as many times as possible.

This is not true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Petersburg_paradox
tl;dr: Put $2 in the pot. Flip a coin. Heads, you double the pot and flip again, tails, you get what's in the pot and the game ends. The EV of this game is 2*.5 + 4*.25 + 8*.125... or 1+1+1+1... or infinity.
So by that logic, you should pay your entire life savings to play it once, but realistically you're just going to end up broke.

An infinite series is not a single transaction so you can't criticize my rule about EV of transactions by talking about an infinite series.

And you are criticizing what I said even though I clearly said "statistically speaking". Pragmatic real world financial management is not the same as what is the best choice statistically speaking.

So your criticism has lots of problems.

He seemed way too nice, like there was going to be this other shoe that would drop about it being a robot or something. Like it just feels wrong for Rick to sincerely try to bond and also it feels wrong to have Rick try to actually take Jerry somewhere rather than building a machine or something to give him a win"

also is the postman dead?

Also does anybody else have a hard time watching characters we like suffer severely?

Buying one $2 ticket should, statistically, be a smart play at this point. The real idiots are the people who drop a bunch of money on tickets. Congratulations, you spent an extra $18 and raised your odds of winning by .00001%

What?

Buying 10 times as many will increase your odds by a factor of 10. There is no way to parse math/statistics where buying 1 ticket is a good idea and buying 10 is a bad idea, you buy as many as you want and no more, but 40 different tickets is 40 different chances.

Basically 10 tickets is just as smart as 1.

All of this is 100% true.

I lost my phone a week ago. I really value this phone and after searching for hours I can't find it. Also I might become homeless soon. I'm staying the house of an old professor who is gone for the summer months and so his house is empty. I will likely have to move again when he returns in a couple days.

His house is messy and very hot because he has sealed the windows shut, (yes this is all true).

Recently they took away the chairs at our print center at office depot even though most jobs are much easier done sitting down, things have not been going too well for me. :/

Anyway I've had to work several days straight at a job I really don't like where my feet hurt because they took away our chairs and so now I'm trying to... idk, relax. But it's 11:00 at night and I'm at here alone. I am in the bedroom in the dark on my laptop and the door is closed.

Anyway, as a grown as man often does. I find myself looking at porn. And I grab some toilet paper because I don't feel like handling the situation in the bathroom.

So I'm in this bedroom, in a locked house, in the dark 'handling the porn situation'. By around 11:30 I finish handling the porn situation and as it happens I let out a minor groan as I do...

...

THAT'S WHEN MY FUCKING AUNT KNOCKS ON THE BEDROOM DOOR.

Yep...

Yepp...

Yep...

For serious. My aunt who lives about a block down took her spare key to this old professors house where I live just so she could surprise me as I'm finishing... the porn business.

At this point I'm in shock, the door is still closed, (thank god) and I still currently am not allowing for the reality that she knew what was going on. The apartment is hot as fuck so I'm not always fully dressed anyway but I'd never even go shirtless if I thought somebody might SHOW UP.

Anyway it's been like 10 seconds and I was like "what?" and she says 'hello' and starts talking in this slow boring voice she always talks in, like "oh I just thought I'd come by and say hi..." and I tell her to hang on and I act kind of annoyed.

I was in a pickle at this point, and needed desperately to improvise. The trouble was that If I act too annoyed it might make her think what was going on was going on, but there really isn't tons of narratives where this makes sense. So I tell her hang on in an annoyed voice and put my clothes back on in the dark, trying to be discrete, additionally I put the toilet paper between the bed and the wall because I had to hide it somewhere.

I then try to think of a lie, I conclude my best bet is saying I was playing online with a friend on a computer, that might justfy angry grunting and it would justify why it was taking so long to get my shit together. So I type a few lines of text to nobody on my computer about how 'I have to go because my aunt was here'. I do this so she would here me typing which would force her into a world where typing made sense which I don't think it does in a 'you were looking at porn context' but does in a 'you were gaming in the dark and had to type something to friends'

So she apparently came over... let me remind you and let herself into a locked house that wasn't hers at 11:30PM and knocked on the bedroom door because...

The very important truth...

She brought me a ham sandwich...

And it wasn't even good ham sanwich...

So I told her how I was a bit annoyed with her visit because I was playing a game online with friends and she seemed to go for it. At one point she made a comment about not being embarrassed but in the context it seemed 95% chance it was about how I might become homeless and not about how she heard me coming, which would be quite embarassing.

Anywho after she left I went to retrieve the toilet paper to flush it... Which was when, at long last, between the wall and the bed... I found my phone

so, are you getting any money from this or did you do this purely out of passion?

Passion I guess. I really like having created projects that people can enjoy. It's not limited purely to games, I make videos and stuff out of the same desire to create something people enjoy. Heck I get happy when I get most viral on imgur. Like last night I made a post about the defenders that got most viral and now it has 85k views and it's just such a cool feeling knowing that tens of thousands of people saw and appreciated something you created.

I'm in it for the thrill of taking ideas I have, making them exist in the real world, and sharing them with people who enjoy them.

Don't get me wrong, if I could earn enough to not be homeless game designing I'd be so up for that (that would be like 1k/mo though) but right now I'd happily take some positive attention.

The worst feeling in the world is working on a project and having the result met with silence. So I'm really happy with the positivity in this topic.

FFFFFFF

Got through the third stage with 2100 on the scoreboard and died immediately D:

How many stages are there?

There are 9 but they just make it play harder. Right now it's pretty much a high-score attack. Here are planned ideas I have for the game:

After beating LVL 3 of this you unlock a second brand new hand-held to play called "SIEGE" (This second hand held is nearly done and I just wanted to see if there was interest) it has a similar style but gameplay design. After you beat up to Level 5 in both Catapult and Siege you unlock the final handheld.

I would also add a leaderboard for each hand held and a way to change the color of the background maybe make something a bit dynamic like a flying through space screensaver type effect but something that's appropriate.

I have other ideas that all told might take like 30 more hours to put in, but if the interest was there I'd definitely do it.

Does it have microtransaction?

No, the only thing I considered adding was an in-game way to pay-what you want. So like a microtransation that just allows you to pay for the game if you got some good enjoyment out of it. But if I add that it will only be after I added every other feature and it would be 100% optional
