Thoughts:

- Choose memory over processors early on. You get bottlenecked on max ops easily. It's far easier to generate the ops so processors are not important early on. It's also easy to generate ops quickly when the quantum states are good.
- The strategic modelling is weird. I haven't figured out a use for that. EDIT: The strategic modelling generates yomi which lets you upgrade your investment engines, among other things.
- The investment engine is cool. I'm working on generating enough cash to buy out my competitor.

what does the quantum computing do? I click it sometimes but cant really tell what it does

Click it when the squares are filled in. If the qOps is positive click away and you can quickly fill your operations meter (and even go above it a bit).

And the creativity meter below the operations meter runs only when the operations meter is full.

This is a fun time suck.

I just cured male pattern baldness. You guys can thank me later

what do you nerds do for work??!!

Well today I valued a $300 million dollar consumer brand for a $150 million dollar ABL facility. Also I cured male pattern baldness in a super exciting paperclip manufacturing business game.

full autonomy attained (my drones took over the world) it took 3 hours and 21 minutes but I pretty much just let it run.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Apparently turning everything and everyone on Earth into paperclips marks the end of only the first stage of the game. After about 5 minutes of playing stage 2, I caused a Quantum Temporal Inversion, which reset everything.

Nice. I just shit down the computer and am headed to the bar for the dodger game. Have to check that out later.
