Make a wish (Floofy Game) - Page 4

Dont forget you'll adapt to most you'll get and no longer make you happier. So, being smarter and being sleepless seems best. Revive is cool becouse you know you have that unique ability, even if you never use it. Cant do anything else with 6 points remaining so I go for MMA, tiny money and short life.

smart 8, sleepless 6, revive 5, mma 3, shortlife 2, tiny money 1

That's basically a superhero right? So long as I put the training and effort in so I'm not purposely trying to die. If so, I want to be a superhero. If not, long life + time skip + revive + tiny money. Basically guarantees a long life filled with happiness. Long life isn't suposed to make you a super hero. It means you won't die from random stuff like car accidents, cancer or plane crash. However if you purposely engage in highly risky things on purpose, you could still die.

Damn.

But I can still use it to sleep 2 hours a day with no repercussions right? Same with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.? As long as I don't OD I don't need to worry about the long term health consequences?

you'll be a healthy zombie

Revive (5)
Radiohead (5)
MMA (3)
Smart (8)
Tiny Money x 2 (2)
Short Life (2)

Didn't pick TimeSkip because not sure how it'd work, though I wanted to.

Short Life seems weird, but only 2 points so whatever. Seems better than another $20K.

Cool game

That would be a negative health consequence of no sleep and an unhealthy lifestyle. You don't just "feel like a zombie" for no reason, after all.

I mean, living until you're 80 is cool and all but I think the advantage of it is in being able to take advantage of guaranteed decent health until you're 80.

Or maybe that makes it too op.

Nobody answered this, but i'm curious.

Do you use it on one of your parents?
Do you save it in case girlfriend dies?
Do you save it in case one of your kid dies?
Would anyone consider resurecting his grand ma?

Combo's well with long life + short life imo.

Use it for wife or kid as an insurance policy.
Could also use it on someone at the forefront of some ground-breaking research for the betterment of the world.

edit: wait, if that person lives until I die. Does that uh...could I collude with a rich young billionaire and go long life + short life and turn them into a super hero? Batman that doesn't die until the supervillain discovers his one weakness, me?

edit #2: oh, I guess there's nothing in there for being maimed or paralyzed or anything like that for revive. Just they won't die until you die. Ok fine, no super heroes.

feeling tired is an unhealthy state? so long life will enable you to overtrain in the gym and have unlimited sex with mental and physical fitness all the time?

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'd assume so. I don't mean just feeling tired either, you can "feel tired" and still be decently healthy...I mean the actual really serious negative effects of prolonged lack of sleep, overtraining, or substance abuse.

would you choose mma skills over a navy seal's will?

On May 11 2015 15:46 MyAnacondaDont wrote: would you choose mma skills over a navy seal's will?

definitely not. Would love for that type of motivation/focus/desire/will. I think I would pay 6 points for it.



A lot of the list just didn't apply to me. And some of the skills are invaluable.

-Small money wouldn't be life changing for me, so there is no reason for me to take that. Large money prevents me from taking completely invaluable skills, so even though it would 10x my net worth, I view it as the much lower EV play.

-Don Juan would be an improvement for sure, but I am already pretty good with girls. I don't pick up 10s left and right, but I do date lots of quality girls. I would get this if it were cheaper, but it is just too expensive.

-I think you guys are looking at a guarantee to live to 80 as invaluable, but I look at it as an almost guarantee for healthy first world born people of our generation. 80 is not old. Technology is improving fast. If there isn't some sort of AI takeover of the world (not gonna go completely down the rabbit hole and start conjecturing what might happen), I think I will live to well over 100 and have many good years, not significant years spent as a hunched over invalid. Don't think this is necessary.

-radiohead is completely worthless. wouldn't spend a point on this.

-don't want timeskip. this effectively shortens your life, even if you are skipping things not palatable to you. almost none of us will experience something truly torturous for short periods of time. and if you haven't seen "Click", it is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. Not an exaggeration. Don't want that skill at all.


That basically just leaves sleepless, smart, MMA, tiny money, revive which add up to 25.

-I think many of you underestimate how valuable smart is. Sure complete child geniuses live lonely, unhappy lives full of awkwardness, but we are grown ups being enhanced. Your memory, problem solving, and learning abilities will all improve significantly. This is totally invaluable for anyone, regardless of current level of smartness. I do think IQ is a complete nonsense number, every test is slightly different or targets different areas of ability, and I think that (even if we could somehow theoretically come up with these numbers accurately) someone considered having a 200 IQ under today's conditions is way more than twice as smart as someone with a 100 IQ. Regardless, adding whatever 40 IQ points means is a shitload of ability gained.

-Taking revive seemingly contradicts what I said about long life earlier, but you have to look at it in terms of probabilities. I think I am very likely to live a long life, let's say 95%. If there are 15 people in the world that I care very deeply about, the odds one of them doesn't live a super long life is now .95^15 = 46%. The likelihood of this skill becoming useful increases by 11x, AND it is 3 points cheaper. Seems like an easy buy to me.

-Sleepless is invaluable as well. Immediately adds 25% extra to your lifespan, whatever it is.

After taking those we would have 6 points left. I think the best way to use them is MMA, short life, tiny money. Not that those skills are that great, but they are better than radiohead or timeskip.


Keanu brought up some interesting points with regards to long life/revive, but I just took it as you won't get a fatal disease or in a fatal accident. You are not immune to overly risky behavior. Don't think we will be super heroes with long life alone.

so you don't think you could get cancer in 5 yrs from now Daut?

not impossible, but extremely unlikely. I'm in close to perfect shape, I'm 31 years old, have no existing health problems, eat very healthy, and every single day we get better at treating cancer. 10 years from now it might be mostly treatable. Not concerned at all.

Really astounded at how many people want timewarp and what they would use it for. For skipping cardio, really? That time can be spent thinking, analyzing, and learning. Or you know, you can just fast forward through your life and miss out on all that time you can explore the endless possibilities of your mind.

To be fair, let's say you were going to think of a genius idea while running, you will still get that idea if you skip it.

But i def agree with you i wouldn't skip jogging. If i skipped that, i bet i would be skipping like 30% of my life lol

I think its only good for really unpleasant events, such as painfull hospital tests, or like, Hunt might have wanted to skip his saturday fight lol.

But tbh, those kind of things happens so rarely to me i wouldn't spend any points on that.

Ok so, to be honest with you guys, i didn't put a lot of thought in this topic, it was a quick idea and i did this topic in 30 minutes. I didn't copy this from anywhere.

As a few of you pointed out, smart 8, sleepless 6, revive 5, mma 3, shortlife 2, tiny money 1 is arguably the best choice possible, and we're seeing a lot of people pick it.

However, i would like to eventually make a new version.
The idea would be to have all wishes be of an approximate equal value (like 350K), and everybody ranks them in order, from best to worst (or just post his top 5, not sure yet). The idea would be to try to have all choices be so close that people have true dillemas. This would show in a much better way people's true values.
However, so far, i only came up with 7 good ideas, most of which are already in this game. So if you have good ideas, PM me.
Might even add some sort of mini game with it but haven't decided what yet (like guess floofy's choice or something).

Revive is the most important purchase. Reviving: Jesus, Mohammad, Leonardo Da Vinci, Beethoven, MLK, Tupac, Steve Jobs or Tesla? Does the most good for human race.
Time Skip is good if you don't enjoy a good amount of life. Worth more than 10 million in some cases.

I think it can be sort of secretly pretty solid. Not enough to give away any of the heavy hitters but for it's point value it's where it belongs.

Skipping mundane tasks isn't really what I would have in mind for it. I think, for myself at least, the biggest thing that holds me back from learning new skills is forming the habit. Let's say I want to learn a new language; I struggle to sit down and devote a significant period of time every day to studying it, but with time skip all I would have to do is just sit down with duolingo or whatever else and time skip that hour for a couple months and the habit is formed effortlessly.

You could also stretch it to things like fears. Afraid of rejection? Walk up to a girl and say hi, that's it. Time skip the 2 minute convo and if she rejects you, it no longer matters. Again, for myself, I absolutely hate going on planes to the point where I refuse to go on one unless it's absolutely 100% necessary. Time skip would solve that problem for me and not only open up a lot more traveling options but also free up a whole lot of extra time.

Learning skills and developing habits becomes a breeze, things you actively avoid are now entirely open as possibilities, any form of "paranoia" is simply no longer a concern. All without having to skip significant periods of your life. I think it's fine where it belongs at 4 points.

that isn't how it worked in click. you don't remember anything from that time period. and you just kind of zombie your way through things. don't think you could form habits using that method

Oh, never saw that movie.

So basically, you remember nothing (gain no new skills or knowledge) and are super mediocre and whatever you're skipping through?

I guess it's still applicable if you have a particularly annoying issue that's easy to skip through but otherwise pretty awful. One point more and you get revive, two points and you get sleepless...timeskip needs all the help it can get.
