putting this on my resume yay or nay (joking… but stick w me a little)
okay so i was spinning this conversation in my head where im hypothetically interviewing for a job and instead of an actual story of helping someone reach their goal or educate someone or wtv, i tell them about how i helped a stranger on the internet get the prismatic hair gel in sdv on their like 10 year world or wtv. and before i can even get to why that experience is so gratifying for me (ive prolly already talked abt it at least in my tags), i have to slap down the math ive been working in my notes bc i can’t be fucked to write shit down in a notebook. IM NOT IN SXHOOL ANYMORE IM JUST FLEXING THE BRAINPOWER I STILL HAVE LEFT!
so odds calculator websites are bullshit and i think my vpn has been wiping all these websites from my searches and wtv i suffer for it. so basically what we’re looking at is: the probability that alex (sdv) shows the FUCK UP TO WORK for ONCE IN HIS FUCKING LIFE. which he did. may be confirmation bias but on my first farm (Takeuchi Farm) i think the first day i had gotten to the desert festival. there he was. the smug soab (sorry gramma evelyn). i didn’t have trinkets unlocked. was prolly year 3? bc i chose the beach farm and just did not get with the fucking program on sprinklers. huge mess. and i think i got to year 6 before i started a new farm a few months later. i have not seen that jock asshole A SINGLE DAY SINCE. i have NEVER. ONCE. gotten to lay my eyes upon that beautiful Prismatic Hair Gel. the day is set once you start like i thought maybe if you restart the day it changes? it doesn’t. i’ve lessened my character for this fucking trinket. the ID code is too long to cheat in with a farm animal, too long to change my name to. never once have gotten to truly work for what i desire, clothing and modded horses aren’t enough. a trinket to match the prismatic-ness of my own hair—that is what i seek. this shit haunts me.
so the chances of alex SHOWING THE FUCK UP is about 6 in 168, 2 chances 3 days 28 people w the same chance, right? i could be wrong here. jump in if u so desire. now look at my stats. i am that 3.57% chance of seeing that bitchass wander into a stall for 12 hours. now, look at the probability that he *never fucking does it again!!???!!!????* probably still wrong here, but fudging the numbers (idfc i’m not at my computer or id check) and assuming my 4 farms are all past the desert festival (i know one is specifically on the day after the festival, bc im that fucking sick of it), that means 1/45 days times the original chance… i grow less confident with each description.. brings this sweet lil line of bullshit
that’s right. that’s the percent chance. that i have had. across 15 in game years. wait let me slay this rq for you—
yeah baby. 0.08% chance. what are some referrable stats to compare that to. so yeah 15 desert festivals, many spent with my gorgeous wife who styles me in any way, and doesn’t judge when i fucking die in the skull hole across the way. she forgives me and i yearn for this hair gel, so as to truly earn her favor. we have been to themotherfuckin perfection hill top, and i didn’t have this hair. how could it truly be perfection,,, if i left behind what makes me who i am.
so yeah this is my soliloquy but anyways i was scrolling thru tiktok prolly having whatever kind of shitty day, and this streamer is going thru the desert festival and i’m like ahhhhh does she know all the secret hacks to find eggs quickly? and she showed interest in the magic hair gel but i knew, without guidance she wouldn’t achieve it, a measly 100 eggs easily attained w the secrets of the oasis, but she’s chill and casual and im like neck deep in the shit. so yeah i sat in the comments for 45 min, we went thru the day and she came soooooooo fucking close to getting it the first try but she came out of the cave, made it to the tent and OHHHHH ITS 12:00 HES FUCKING WALKING AWAYYYYYYY it was so heartbreaking. so tragic. all hope was lost… but i informed her that he’d still be there if she restarted the day. and with newfound hacks, she got that damn prismatic hair gel by 3:00. she righted all her wrongs just like when u know if you start over you’d do the day completely streamlined everything is right. and we did it. she did it but we did it and this is the story of how i helped lift up a peer in this crazy thing called life, in trying times all we can do is what we can. peace or whateva
