The only reason to pick skill is if you believe that a tale of the legendary videogame dude has more substance and value than whatever entertainment you provide with fun. Make it harder to choose, faggot.

skill also translates into money via e-sports
there are things you can do with money that you cant with fun

This is stupid as fuck.

If you're having loads of fun, you won't give a fuck if you win or lose and by what degree

But a good game is a game that takes skill. Applying skill and overcoming obstacles is the only reason to ever get invested. If you're playing a game that doesn't create any sort of frustration or difficulty, or you're simply not actively trying to get better and better with every waking breath, you are autistic.

There is nothing more autistic than anti-competitiveness. Competition breeds improvement, improvement is pretty much the core of our DNA as human beings.

Yes retard, otherwise why is anyone playing? "Games" are competitions with no stakes, it only exists to create an environment for competition and comparisons.

Playing a game that doesn't take skill; never has the phrase "shooting fish in a barrel" been more relevant.

If a game doesn't have a skill gap that allows for the victor to distinguish themselves, then you're basically playing little league baseball where everyone gets a trophy. You're a fucking faggot.

You literally don't even understand the concept of a game or why human beings invented the concept.

Where does the picture imply this at all? It just says that your enjoyment is enhanced. You'll be more optimistic, but you'll still have your personal likes/dislikes. Shit games will still be shit, but you're more likely to be able to look past the flaws and/or find a way to have fun anyway.

Nothing about Fun implies that you can't also be good. The people who are exceptionally good at given games tend to also have a unmatched passion for it because you NEED that shit to play the games for long enough to achieve that level of skill.

Picking Skill is borderline meaningless, being good at something means nothing without putting the effort to achieve it. You'd get bored and disillusioned in short order.

Fun is the only logical choice, prove me fucking wrong.

The entire point of skill is that you earn it, you fucking doofus. Nobody would ever pick that.

Real, genuine fun is one of the (if not the most) important aspects of human life. Being able to create and maintain that could not be more important; it's exactly what rich, successful men in Hollywood (some of the most paid men in the world, by the way) spend their entire lives trying to do.

>>315368837
>Having a good time = shit taste
Holy shit /v/
>>
If this is limited strictly to video games and have no effect whatsoever on anything else you do, definitely fun - otherwise skill.

I mean, would skill translate into being able to touch type at ridiculous speed and accuracy too? There are games that revolve around typing fast, so would you retain that when you're just typing on your computer? Would the improved motor skills and reaction times stay? Or does it just magically activate when you're sitting in front of a TV with a controller in your hand?

If it really only works with video games, skill would be pointless, because I'd just keep it turned off all the time unless I want to put some douche in his place. Removing the challenge would just make everything boring.
>>
>>315368828
You could do it easier with fun.

>I don't want to have fun with bad games.
Then don't play bad games.

You can have fun with any game, it doesn't force you into having fun with shit games only. If you found your favorite game to be a blast before you took the pill it would still be a total blast for you to play.


I can't tell if you and people like you are retarded, or actually rally against the concept of enjoying things.

Skill, obviously.
If you would rather have fun than be skilled, you're a bit of a dumbass desu. You have to win to truly have fun. You can't have fun without having skill. A man's purpose on earth is to win. If you can have fun while being worse than others at something, you might as well be a woman.

>>315369339
>you question whether people love you for you, or the persona created by the pill
I mean not really. You already know people love your persona, not you. This is the case with most of the popular youtubers, people love their persona, not the actual person because the actual person doesn't really act like they do in their videos. Some youtubers's personas are very similar to their actual personality, but even then they still ham up certain aspects to fortify their persona.

Do you think people like markiplier actually act like they do in their videos when they're playing a game by themselves? Of course not. With almost all those guys, you once in a while catch a glimpse of the real them, sometimes when they're playing a game and they're doing badly they'll suddenly revert to their normal selves and they actually focus, during these times they go quiet like any normal person is when focusing on a game and for a brief moment, they forget they're actually recording and forget to address the camera, they're just playing the game like a normal person. Then they remember they're recording and instantly go back into their persona and start screaming again.

It's all fake, man. If you take the blue pill then you should go into it already knowing this, it's all fake, the people will be loving your persona, not actually you. You're playing them like children.

>Could probably make more money than the fun pill with much much less time investment than the fun pill

I'd honestly go with the skill pill. Just keep it off most of the time and activate it whenever I need to win something.
Also the mentoring thing could be hilarious. You could make anyone an incredible gamer. You can make anyone be part of your gaming ubermensch team. You can have a bunch of elderly people beat a bunch of faggot teenagers at MOBAs or other highly competitive games.

Basically
Chose the Fun Pill if all you want to do is gaming nonstop and be popular
Chose the Skill Pill if you want to do other shit and mainly use the powers for making some quick money or to fuck with people.

Of course skill would also make you popular but to me it's a different kind of popular.

With Fun everyone knows you, see how you act and so on and love the fuck out of you for that. You go to a party and you'll be popular because of how you are not because of who you are and what reputation you have.
The skill pill makes you famous. You'd be popular because people know you from wining a tournament not for who you are.

B is probably what this guy >>315370709 says. It's more likely an Aloha Snackbar Clock than an actual gift.

C is only good if you want to catch a rabbit in your backyard because you can't afford to buy a pet for yourself.

D doesn't even look like a real box, it looks more like a dotless dice with a ribbon. On a second look, it may as well be a cake
