It's been almost 3 months since my last visit. In that time, I graduated college so now I can no longer say I'm a student; instead I'm just unemployed.

The pandemic has also gotten worse in the US cuz we have a significant population of idiots.


EDIT: wow the youtube thing doesn't work with just the code anymore?

Anyway, responding to comments from the previous post:

Radio2 linked a spreadsheet of all Reaper games; always nostalgic seeing names like ninjashiloh, ZombieBasher, cerberus88, candrika, and the legend BashTilZzz.

piphi asked about the Greed Control strategy mentioned in my wiki. There was a discussion in some forum about GC strategy, and I remember the common theme between high-scores was consistency. TBH I put that in my wiki to sound cool lol. I don't even remember exactly what my strategy was; it was either switching between two numbers or putting the same number. I remember leaning toward higher numbers but I'm not sure.

@Kagebaka: yea of course I remember you lol

I just remembered that in the old days, reaper didn't have multipliers.

This particular visit to AoPS was actually motivated by something besides a random thought.
A day or two ago I got baited into an argument on Reddit. If you know from a few years ago you know I used to suck at arguments.
Anyway, I responded to an anti-vaxxer posting what I thought was a really dumb position thinking I could win a free argument online to feel better about myself. Turns out I got played by his strategic bait.
After a couple of exchanges I realized what was up so I ended it, but it sucks looking back I could have avoided all of it altogether.
So what does this have to do with AoPS? I was reminded of having debates on AoPS years ago and what I learned from that. While I was still stupidly invested in the argument I even thought about posting on AoPS to ask for advice.
If anyone wants an idea of what I was dealing with:

From the very beginning I should have realized he was citing non-scientific sources but all I did was provide evidence for my side.
It's crazy how anti-vaxxers can formulate their arguments in a way to make them sound substantial despite being absolutely useless; the problem is even though they are useless they are able to be defended because of how arbitrary and meaningless they are.

Anyway I shouldn't rant; I'm putting off stuff I need to get to.
How do you guys feel about the new Juice WRLD songs?
