So I’m back with another CYOA (choose your own adventure). This time it’s about pills. Not red or blue pills, but special either way.
It’s simple: you get to choose either 2 pills or just 1 pill. If you choose just 1 pill you also get the bonus effect.
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
Take the skill mastery pill AND the game pill. (I’m bad at computer stuff like that)
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.

The pills were poorly thought out lol
I didnt make this but I agree that most CYOA stuff usually has poor internal balance.
they control for the opness with that ‘handheld’ qualification, many game abilities/mechanics are not bound up into single game objects as such.
but maybe the right game might have a necklace that does some or many of the things your talking abt, idk im not a gamer encyclopedia

Choose Game Pill, use existing game dev skills to create whatever object I want, achieve FALGSC within a month
You’re welcome comrades
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.
We have the greatest emotes folks
Creature Pill
This is furry bait
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.
Focus and Nocturnal pills.
Fellow student, I see
I add them all to a game and then use the game pill to wish for more wishes
Game pill for the Portal gun, and Jumper pill so I don’t go splat after I mis-jump.
Focus
Just focus. I can’t concentrate or focus to save my fucking life.
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.
Mimic + Wilds
i’ll become a disney princess so help me god
Game pill and wilds pill. I will summon Harry’s impeccable wardrobe one item at a time, and live as real life Hobocop.
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.
