Would you press it?
Long time Xcom player here, back to the original series.
No.
If you haven’t run across it, UFO:AI is an open source “re-release” of X-COM Apocalypse
First time I experienced this exact sentiment was years ago playing Dynasty Tactics.
99% chance to hit?
Realize devs forgot to include the decimal. 90.1% chance of exploding.
Either way my problems will go away so why not.
99 times
About 37% of getting 99 million dollars And 63% of dying
Nah, I feel like whoever would make that offer would have something much shadier in mind
sets up auto clicker
cuz you can only die once anyway, so you will end up with a chance approaching 100% of getting the money
Meanwhile, people who play Xcom refuse to press the button.
I know it says 100% chance to die.
I’m still pushin it.
I don’t even walk out my front door unless I see full cover nearby
I’m read like a book
Nobody can tell me that the Xcom probabilities aren’ riged. The amount of times I have died because someone messed up hitting something right infront of them is way to high
For the new game, on some difficulties it is rigged. But only ever in the player’s favor.
Can I throw a grenade at the button?
press button
Get million dollars
Wtf I thought this was the button that turns you into a girl
Money can be exchanged for many hormones
So like every regular day waking up, but this time with the million dollar chance.
Damn, what is it like to be you?
My name is Bond, James Bond.
If you roll a 1% chance of dying every day, you don’t make it to your first birthday
I’m just incredible lucky
The big question is how many times to press it. Once at least is a given. It does specify the death as gruesome, so I don’t really want the death, but I’d also like enough money to not have to worry again until a non gruesome death.
Like, if it was painless death, I’d probably say something like 20 or 30 times, but with a gruesome one…maybe 5 max, or perhaps even less. Still, one or two pushes is a given.
It can be both gruesome and painless. Something where you wouldn’t even know what happened, but the person unlucky enough to clean up would be scarred for life.
5 presses would be enough to pay yourself 100k a year for 50 years + interest gained with a 95% chance of success. That’s what I’d go with.
Fuck money.
Like the porn stars make?
🤔
Real question is how often are you willing to press the button
A MILLION DOLLARS! Austin Powers scene.
No. But for 100 million 🤔
I’d absolutely press it once, because if I’m unlucky enough to hit a 1% on the first press, I think I’d rather just be dead anyway. That kinda bad luck will kill you in some other way.
If it was “die instantly,” then I would definitely press it. However, it says “die a gruesome death,” which kinda scares me, so I’m not sure if I would…
Death is gruesome. Even dying in your sleep is still gruesome.
In this context gruesome death means something violent and painful, think back to Final Destination or a Saw movie for some examples.
That‘s… not how any of this works

Those are some absolutely beautiful odds if it’s a one off 1% chance of death by pressing the button! Sign me up, Scotty!
