Wow, I got the Savings Master achievement in the Penny-pinching Vanguard category FrogPog

It’s still just so weird seeing this Skinner Box video game shit break containment and permeate everything

    I’m not a fan of skinner box style motivation. Even in video games. However, if the supermarket had leaderboard posted this would unfortunately work on me.

    • lol, no joke. I like having some absurdly high score in the lowest stakes possible arena. like so normal people see it and go, “jesus, what is that LordOverkill42069 dude’s malfunction?” and I’m like, smirking, “I minmaxed during that laundry detergent sale and got the stacked 2x3x multiplier. so now I’m holding inventory in my basement until the holidays for gifts.”

        I have played enough pay to win games to observe a phenomena: There will be a point at the top where the people with money are all gathered with similar scores, then there will be a steep drop to the regular players. So long I sit at the precipice of this ‘whale cliff’ I’m happy.
