This Or That?

First one, and don't even need the hero label.

Write your own book
or
Develop your own game?

Develop your own game, unsurprisingly I find games would be a better conduit for me to communicate a story.

only play 1 job, and no others

or

play a different job at every activity? not playing the same job again until all other jobs have been played.

1 job. I'd rather feel competent and helpful every time I showed up to something in-game than have variety, but also contribute as much as an unplugged toaster.

in a similar vein...

Be employed at something you hate for life, but live in extreme comfort;

Be employed at your passion, but barely make ends meet.

For my passion to be a job I also have to have traits and be good at things that aren't my passion, so the two could be one and the same and wind up just being the first one, heh. So I guess the hate but extreme comfort one.

Have one of them cysts where when it gets lanced the pus is thick and just keeps on coming like on your back or foot or something

or

Grow an abscess on an internal organ that requires a minor surgery to remove

cysts, no surgery thank you.

Legally blonde

or

Devil's Advocate

Unfortunelly i didnt watch neither, but i will pick legally blond because blondes are always good choices despite being legal or not.

Being illegal just adds the thrill in it.

So, fixing a:

Bug you have no clue where to even start looking at

Or

Bug that contradicts your expectations / knowledge

Bug that contradicts your expectations / knowledge, As this is the superset that contains all bugs :D

for Thanksgiving:
No Turkey

or

No mash potatoes?

Turkey is just chicken, but worse. Potatoes are a gift from god.

9 hour drive (scenic weather, minimal traffic)

or

1 hour flight (economy class+2 hours of airport ***)

1 hour flight, easily. Less easy if someone else is driving, but still flight.

Expensive vacation that is basically your "dream" vacation

or

Free vacation that is about half what you want, half things you find annoying.

First- gimme the 9hour drive any time in my lifespan. As someone who developed Adult Onset Epilepsy and hasn't been able to drive for 6 years now, my greatest sadness is that loss of independence and freedom to just drive.

Now, to properly answer:

Expensive Vacation. I'd rather something ideal but rare than something I tolerate frequently because it happens to have one or two snowflakes in the mix.


Live as borderline royalty in a 3rd world nation;

Live at the edge of poverty, but still able to sustain yourself, in the United States.

Live at the edge of poverty. Grow up this way, and really dont have a problem going back to it.

Work with an someone who lacks the social skills to properly present his ideas with out sounding condescending and rude, but you know he doesn't mean it that way.

Or

Work with someone who lacks basic human hygiene.


Neither person can have their behavior corrected, it is just who they are.

Work with someone who lacks social skills. You can always tell them to *** off when they get annoying with their tone.

Have the perception to know:

When you're time is up
OR
How your time is up

Both situations are an example of my older brother, so I read this as which characteristic of my (genius engineer) brother would I delete? I'd prefer he brush his damn teeth and shower on the reg.

----------

Amazing athlete your whole life, all the trophies and medals all the way into college, where you compete at a low tier D-I school where you're the best OR

Spend your life grinding it out, always correcting technique to try to be an team all-star to receive only above average success with a massive breakout at age 21 that lands you on the Olympic Team for one year before you retire.

Richybear's: When your time is up. The how of it would drive you more insane, because it'd either be so specific that you'd try to avoid that situation, only to bumble into it anyway, OR it'd be so general as to give you anxiety the rest of your life.

Knowing the when could still be unsettling, but then you could at least plan.

Sahzi's: The Olympic option. At least then you get big recognition after a career of being snubbed. The first option is big fish in a small pond, basically, and it would never feel good later in life meeting people from outside of your circle that you'll never know for sure if you're as good as them etc.

Work in a nuclear plant in a position that has you occasionally maintenance the reactor when it's powered down?

or

Work on an oil rig in a diving position that sees you go underwater routinely for exceptionally dangerous but short maintenance?

I've seen those Rig dudes. I, good sir, am certainly not one of them^^ Then again, Homer Simpson managed in a Nuclear Power Plant for what- almost 40 years now?

Gimme the nuke life.


No mobile devices in your life for the remainder of it

--or--

No more gaming in your life for the remainder of it.

Homer Simpson in the nuke plant definitely became 1000x more hilarious to me after working in one while in the Navy. Very much not far from the truth.

Also easily no mobile devices. Screw cell phones!

Get beaten up learning martial arts by practicing in extremely practical manner of actually performing the full on techniques on one another

or

Learn martial arts in a highly restrained manner, such that you never really get hit, but also never really know what your techniques will do when employed for real?

Delta P says NOPE! No thanks! lol

edit: we all know the crab in the pipe video/GIF I'm sure. Yikes

As someone who isnt fond of feeling pain, I would go with second option.

I really dont have the body foundation for physical confront, so I would decide to train only the bare minimum without compromising my integrity, and when the violence is necessary, I would resort to your other advice:



Now

You cheer for a team. Soccer/football in my case, but you can think about your favorite one here.

That sport promotes championships with knock-out phase leading to the champion.

The team you cheer for was defeated early in the knock-out phase. The one team who did it went to the final match.

So what would you prefer?

Cheering for the team that eliminated your own

OR

Cheering for the opposite team that eliminated your own?

Cheering for the team that eliminated your own, rather be defeated by the champions then just another losing team.


sick in a Hospital bed for 1 week

or

sick coughing feeling tired and awful for a month, but no hospital stay.

Sick in a hospital bed for 1 week. Sure, it'll be expensive, but then I wouldn't have to put up with my wife and coworkers ignoring my malady(ies) and acting like I'm fine and bitching at me for being too tired / lazy etc.

Be the destined hero that can make the special sword appear/do its thing/beat the bad guys/gods?

or

Be the strong man on the destined hero's team who somehow still hits harder than said hero in spite of using mundane weaponry?

Be the strong woman on the destined hero's team who somehow still hits harder than said hero in spite of using mundane weaponry

the destined people have too much to stress about and I would just rather let them worry about it, then be the one on the hook.


Death by drowning

or

Death by being cut in half?

Awwwwwwwwwwwww if you don't want a cool hero's sword, I'll take it D; mine mine mine! D;

I always wanted a cool sword to hang on the wall. Even if I am the weakest hero in the entire history with every stat at 1 and run from the final boss like a loser I'll still take the cool sword. So I can look at my sword on the wall and feel the pleasure D;

Can't believe some people don't care about swords! D;

Several reasons:
-I'm not going to be taken out by ****ing water. Getting cut in half is way cooler.

-Immediate adrenaline rush will make the pain short-lived and consciousness should be lost quickly with that much blood loss.

-No chance to struggle for survival, if it is a given that I'm going to die I'd rather not feel the despair(as a strong swimmer, I am picturing hours of struggling against the tide with no rescue in sight before finally succumbing).


Receive a neuralink-style implant that can subtly influence your thoughts, and this mechanism is used to ensure you cannot become aware of its existance.

OR

Receive a neuralink-style implant that can directly control your movement, knowing what it is and why it's happening.

In either case, assume it cannot be removed without being fatal, and a US government employee is responsible for any directives issued.

I'll let them control my movement and hope my thoughts are truly my own.

You're in public and need to poop really really bad. A fart is loaded and everyone will know it was you and it will smell as foul as possible. You're doubled over in pain trying to hold everything in.

Do you let it rip and hope for the best, buying you some time

or

Continue to hold it in and be miserable with cramps etc. for another 30 minutes.

Let'er RIP! Amd evem sing, "Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat'em, the more you toot!"

I'm someone who can't hold farts in, at least anymore, so I always have to let'er rip anyway.

Force your SO to have kids with you via emotional manipulation/wearing them down over time

OR

Raise the kid someone else had with your SO in a fit of drunken/passion/criminal mistake?

Force your SO to have kids with you via emotional manipulation/wearing them down over time

I think this one is easier for me since I do the hard part anyway. I do think if I were I guy I might lean toward the other answer.


So kids, you have one congratulations!

Get destroyed during a diaper change resulting in a disappointing amount of lightly digested goo all over you and the couch

or

get woken up to clean the couch and watch the baby while option 1 showers.

I think I'd take the option of getting destroyed by the diaper change. Cause if that happened to me, I'd just clean the mess up myself and then shower. I'd even do the other option though, if my wife needed me too, though it'd be a little irksome.

Press a button that destroys all humans

or

Press a button that ensures you and a few others survive the death of all humans but then have to assume the arduous task of repopulation/rebuilding the whole of society?

So I get to destroy the whole society and rebuild it however I want, as I indoctrinate next generation of children with my preferred ideology?

Obviously choice is obvious! 8D ;DDDD

Assuming you are good at games:

Play a PvP game

Or

Play a PvE game

Play a PvP game

IT has been a long time since i played a game against someone else, though i guess i do play magic against people but that is not the same...


Live with something you hate

or

Live without something you love?

Live without something you love I guess, at least you're not reminded of it everyday and maybe one day you'll forget about it. Much easier than ignoring something that's always in your face hahaha.
