Well, they have to start over with a $1 bet.

I don’t know if that applies to this scenario. In this game, the player is always in the lead until they aren’t, but I don’t see how that works in their favor.

The US, but why? How does the answer differ in different countries?
I wonder if that was the inspiration for the Nowhere King from Centaur World.
I’ve seen some in the US that run slowly until you get close. I guess they think that if it was stopped completely, people would assume it’s non-operational.
Well, to be fair, he probably came up with it after hearing about Israel’s Iron Dome. So he might’ve meant something like that. Or he might think it’s a literal dome. Who can say with Trump.
Those are pretty awesome! Thanks, I think I can get a lot of benefit from them.
It’s only anime if it’s made in the Anime Prefecture of Japan. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling cartoons.
Now you have “fantasy isekai with a protagonist that’s so overpowered it removes all conflict or stakes from the story.”
I seriously don’t get the appeal. I know it’s wish-fulfillment, but can’t our wish-fulfillment include overcoming challenges?
I think it’s fine to acknowledge the unfortunate truth that autistic people have to live in a society designed around the needs of people who are unlike them in important ways. Saying so shouldn’t diminish their responsibility to try to function in society as best they can despite this challenge.
To an extent, it’s a matter of perspective. We can easily conceive of a society where the things that “normal” people do are considered alien and jarring. If they had to constantly suppress their fundamental nature the way autistic people do, they might not seem so natural and healthy.
There’s a whole subgenre called “reverse isekai” that does exactly that.
Interesting you hear the Skyrim quote that way, because I would interpret the character who says the quote to be more like a conservative nationalist.

Not quite the same, since in my scenario the player loses everything after a loss while in the St. Petersburg Paradox it seems they keep their winnings. But it does seem relevant in explaining that expected value isn’t everything.
