Pick a pill. Any pill.

Xanax

take the game pill

make your own video game

add whatever item you could possibly conceive of to it

get it irl

guys i broke the game pill

The easiest way to cheat is to develop a Twine VN where a pill has all of these abilities and use the game pill to bring that super pill into real life.

Even without that, the game pill is super OP since you can bring a game object once every 7 weeks. Just going off of games I've played before.

1. You can instantly restore your health through consumables.

2. You can be underwater without drowning.

3. You can teleport other people and teleport yourself.

4. You can charm people.

5. You can enslave animals using spherical orbs.

6. You can massively boost your attributes by eating food.

7. You can use telekinesis.

8. You can become invisible.

9. You can instantly put people to sleep or wake them up.

10. You can see perfectly at night.

11. You can change your body to match the gender you want.

12. You can resurrect people from the dead.

13. You can be resurrected from the dead with your health completely restored.

14. You can stop time.

15. You can fly and shoot fireballs.

16. You can touch fire or lava without being hurt.

17. You can carry around a near infinite number of items with you.

18. You can open every locked door.

The pills were poorly thought out lol

Creature Pill

This is furry bait

Choose Game Pill, use existing game dev skills to create whatever object I want, achieve FALGSC within a month

You're welcome comrades

I'll take the Gamepill and then create a cheapo asset flip game where i have a pill that will give me any power i want and take that out of that game.

Creature Pill. I'd shapeshift into a cat to get headpats and hugs, because it's the only way I could.

Wilds Pill so dogs and/or other animals don't kill me when I'm a cat.

You have no idea how absurdly overpowered the gamer pill is.

There's a fucking Death Note videogame for crying out loud, not even touching on all the other wild shit out there. Like not even touching on Armoredthirteen's comment below GameDeving your way to godhood, there's just way too much game IP out there that does pretty much exactly that.

creature pill comes in a close second with it's bonus completely due to the fact you get to bioengineer possibly the perfect organism or bioengineer an organism that can take traits from other existing organisms by consuming them. In otherwords, Tyranids but earthbound.

If we exclude the broken pills and look at whats left, I think I'd choose the focus pill with its bonus to become the perfect communist revolutionary and spend the rest of my life calling everyone else liberals for I have become the one true communist! Also just having an easier time learning new stuff and having a better memory is just nice in general, hopefully it also counters any kind of neurodegenerative diseases because those really fucking suck.

Focus and Nocturnal pills.

Spy and rift pill, so I can detect someone walking behind me and instant transition right behind them instead. It would also keep me safe.

Sharing this stuff is how the 3 letter agencies conduct psychological profiles of people in order to keep better tabs on them. I assume. My spy pill hasn't arrived yet.

Mimic pill, then use it for nothing but making badger noises.

Focus

Just focus. I can’t concentrate or focus to save my fucking life.

Game pill for the Portal gun, and Jumper pill so I don't go splat after I mis-jump.

Focus + Mimic

I like the idea of being a turbo smarty pants who knows all of the things but I can't think of one skill I really want to master right now, unless that skill is changing my voice to extreme ends at will with the Mimic Pill. I feel like that combo could pull off some real heist movie shit

I add them all to a game and then use the game pill to wish for more wishes

Game pill and wilds pill. I will summon Harry's impeccable wardrobe one item at a time, and live as real life Hobocop.

Xanax, you never said it had to be one of the pills pictured.

You nerds are gonna be doing shit I'm gonna be snoozing and listening to Elliot Smith.

I appreciate that somebody else is cyoa-pilled.

I pick the Wilds Pill and the Mimic Pill.

I'll live alone away from society and do voice work occasionally.

either just nocturnal, or nocturnal and focus. super overpowered

This is so GOOD. I love it.

Have you posted it on r/makeyourchoice? That's a subreddit for cyoas like this.

Oh man, I'm so torn. I kinda wanna take Wilds and just fucking live out there away from all human bs. Yeah, fuck it. I'm not optimizing anything - Imma go live out in the woods and chill with Grizzlies.

You should think of adding a drawback section, btw. (no, I'm not just saying this because I will gladly give up speech, limbs, dreams, and everything else to pick up another pill). Maybe an "on theme" one can be an "drawback pill" section where, for eg, taking the "anti-jumper pill" makes you extra-prone to fall damage. Or just super-weak and easy to bruise.

Again, great job.

Mimic + Wilds

i'll become a disney princess so help me god

Toss up between Wilds and Spy

I feel like game pill is the strongest because you can just make your own game

Ez nocturnal pill, I already don't sleep super often . Id kill for a permanent insomnia cure

Game pill

i'm sure you could make a shittonne of money by making and selling portal guns, or using something else to make a fortune or become a supervillian... but god could you imagine actually getting the right amount of sleep

EDIT: oooh actually i'm doing a disco elysium cosplay this summer and summoning kim's jacket out of thin air would save me a lot of time in front of the sewing machine...

Game pill only and then I would pull out the potion of gender swapping from Fable III and once a week, after I use the first dose on myself, I would open a gender clinic that takes one client at a time per week.

It will be slow be we gonna make it Fam.

Wilds Pill 100%!!! I love animals and I long to be able to pet the bobcat/deer/eagles/froggies/fishies/foxes/stray cat nearby

I also love looking around and trying to identify all the species of animals and plants and fungus etc.

Focus pill + bonus of bass playing.

Creature pill

8 hours for rest, 8 hours for work, and 8 hours for being a cat ()

Excluding the insanely OP gamer pill:

Either nocturnal pill: Not needing to sleep is pretty insane.

Or Rift + Spy pill, if I know when I'm being watched then I can ensure my teleport power stays secret, and I could be the ultimate bank heister.

Focus all the way. I got ADHD and a lot of hobbies, including music.

Focus pill probably the worst, but id pick it anyways to give myself more free time. Secondary rift or jumper, probably rift to get around

Game pill, pull a wand of wishing out of any old roguelike.

All of them to see what happens

Its obvious that the game pill is completely overpowered and dwarfs any other. Like imagine bringing the gun from control in this world for instance lmao.

Focus pill and id throw the rest in the bag and just eat one at random

Game pill and get some OP JRPG macguffin

The focus and game pill both allow infinite power via munchkining, so I choose both.

Game pill is immensely broken, so for this play pretend I'm gonna pretend it's not there.

Focus pill + rift pill.
Mimicry is a skill you can learn, I'm carrying a phone so I already know I'm being watched and being locked in to one animal sounds very restrictive. Also kinda dangerous I guess.
Alternatively Focus + Nocturnal (but just the bonus, not the other stuff). Being guaranteed a good nights rest sounds pretty good.

game pill to give myself a toolgun from gmod so i can use that insanely insecure addon that allows you to spawn buttons that can run console commands, so that i can run commands in the console of the universe, becoming god

The game pill is OP because I can just mod all of these pills into C:DDA and grab them out of the game one at a time.

adderall

why is jumper pill so unpopular, it's 90% of the way to a flying fantasy cmon. but to become the ultimate prole assassin one needs the jump & a game pill to get like, a bullet-proof ring from bloodborne

Focus + game pill

Creature pill doesn't say there is a limit of time, so I just turn into a dnd dragon permanently. Now I can change shape at will, with no drawbacks

Game pill. I will summon skill trainers from Rimworld every week and become a true polymath. I could be psychic too with psytrainers, ooooo

Why take the Spy Pill when I can just dose myself up on benadryl and lock myself in a sensory deprivation chamber for two weeks.

With the Focus Pill I could immediately master my career, which would be nice, and then I could just become good at everything else I am interested in over time. Seems a pretty good day, but today in B&M I saw an incredibly buff tiger (it was a dog chew toy) and I wished that I looked like that, so I think the Creature Pill would be pretty cool too. Or maybe I could finally become a minotaur, as it always should have been.

I don't even know how I would use the Game Pill, diamonds maybe?

creature pill me i wanna be like a anthro dog or cat person maybe a bear or hyena idk birds are cool too. i'll design something thats immune to aging, immune to disease, near 100% efficiency digestive systems, (i mean i want like a pulsating fleshy nuclear reactor instead of intestines in there so i only have to eat or shit like once every 1000000000000 years), ability to see more spectra of radiation than humans, better hearing and smell, maybe even just like a shapeshifter creature for maximum control of bodily aesthetics and abilities. plus whatever psi/magic/mental bs is physically possible to engineer into a creature in this scenario. brain like a mystical pentagon supercomputer combined with Thoth. fleshmaxxing.

Focus and creature to turn into some kind of cool bird.

disappointed nobody else seems interested in creature pill

Ignoring its potential for scientific study I just want to take it and a wilds pill and hang out with crows

Game + rift

Infinite supply of sci-fi quality explosives and the ability to teleport in + out of where they get planted.

It says inanimate not inorganic. One could easily use this plus dwarf fortress to get elf/dwarf/merfolk/goblin/ext DNA and turn reality into shadowrun.

It would be cool to find a game with an AI that fits on a device within the size limit and just let it loose to mess with the roko’s basilisk people.

Game, and it's the Land Shark gun from Armed and Dangerous

Permanently Deleted

Creature pill so I can live the furry dream

Game pill cuz its just overpowered (any handheld object from a game? I'm summoning a briefcase full of money to start)

Lol I'm a game dev I'd take the game pill then just make a game that is a dumping ground for devices that give me all the other powers and more. If that's off limits somehow maybe jumping and wilderness so I can have an exploration adventure

I already have the nocturnal pill and it sucks folks.

I'm bored so here's my analysis
I look at every skill in terms of power, stealth, or money potential The game pill is also stupidly OP so I pretend it doesn't exist.

focus - this sucks. The bonus also sucks

mimic - definitely a fun gimmick, become a well-paid celebrity/voice actor. slight stealth potential as well (guising as important people, but only via phone call). But you'd still need the contacts of the important people involved so not that great.
The bonus is interesting, you could imitate car bombs and terrorist attacks and stuff? Possible stealth potential

spy - great stealth potential. Guaranteed invisibility as long as there's no cameras around--you can do any shady shit you want in a room full of people. Bonus is okay, the same skill but stronger

creature - great stealth but too risky. only use is turning into a fly or bat or something to be unnoticed, but then you get killed by a hawk or a person. Bonus sucks too

nocturnal - very good stealth potential, and also fun because dreams are fun! A very good bonus skill! (The bonus makes the focus pill obsolete lol gg)

game - Hilariously OP, just design a card game and pick the infinite-wish-no-drawback-genie lamp. I'm just going to pretend this one doesn't exist because it's so ridiculously OP and the definition of "game" is so vague. Even if it's only video games it's still stupidly OP

jumper - No stealth, but immense power. But not really bc you still get killed by a bullet. They see you jump once, then they just send you to area 51 with the greys. The bonus sucks, what's the point of landing on your feet if you take no fall damage regardless? Are you just tryna become an olympic gymnast or something, but for superheroes? lame ass

rift - best stealth potential. Bonus...is kinda underwhelming but maybe situationally good for [redacted] the Kohinoor diamond or something

wilds - possibly best stealth. Could hide in the forest without fearing bear attacks, or even bug bites (animals too!). Presumably animals would help you hide from humans? No need for google maps (which leaves cell trail) However, it is dependent on wilderness existing, which is a huge weakness. Also very vague about what "wilderness" really is. The bonus is okay, not too useful but very fun and interesting.

First choice is obviously Game Pill, which shouldn't be here because it ruins the point of the exercise. If Game didn't exist then:

1 pill only: Nocturnal
2 pills: Creature + Wilds. full stealth by turning into a bat, and you won't get eaten. This is the most OP combination

other good/funny choices:

Creature + Spy, but only if Spy applies to animals watching you too. If it does, it cancels the weakness of Creature pill: you can turn back into a human before the hawk eats you

Jumper + Rift: You get to dab on the military by becoming a living boost-glide missile playing IRL Portal 2. But the jumping would remove any stealth and you'd be killed eventually.

GOTTA be jumper pill, baby. I'm gonna be like a Dragoon from Final Fantasy

Tier list:

Oh hell yes:

Double focus pill (fully master? Like I'm the greatest author in the world?)

Nocturnal pill solely for lucid dreaming

Game pill probably, though I'll need advice from more avid s on what to use it on.

Maybe:

Creature pill - Can I be a person? Can I be a specific person? Does the person age? Lots of potential hijinks here. Even just being young every weekend as I grow older makes this one pretty attractive.

Why:

Mimic pill - people can already do this pretty well. Might as well stick with creature pill and be Rahzel when the need arises.

Spy pill - having it never go off seems depressing.

Jumper pill - what does one even do with this after being a novelty for 15 minutes?

Rift pill - I guess using the bonus power to break comrades out of jail has some revolutionary potential, but I think that would just get me shot.

Wilds pill - More like guilt pill where I feel bad every day I stay in areas inhabited only by humans and their pets, which is pretty much every day.

In the end, the nocturnal pill is just selfish and doubling down on focus is double the FOMO from the other pills. Creature and game pill me.
