You will get 10 million upfront, but you must play and beat pic related everyday for 10 years. Are you doing it?
>>
Yes, next stupid question?
>>
>>737677948
But it's so clunkyyyy...
>>
Sure.
>*doesn't play*
>>
bery easy yes
>>
>>737677948
So I just do a 16 star speedrun everyday? Sounds good to me.
>>
>Play it in an emulator with a romhack that skips straight to the end credits
Checkmate, faggot.
>>
>>737677948
you can do it in like an hour after a little practice
>>
>>737678047
It's only clunky if you use a shit controller, n64 has like 170 sensitivity levels on the control stick for each axis
>>
>>737678075
>No zero stars run
Casual
>>
>>737678057
You will be checked and if you dont play for a day your money will be charged back, no matter if you spent some of it.
>>
>>737677948
Define beat; just see the end credits? Is it the first version with the backwards long jump tech? Does it matter what system it’s on, like can I use an emulator and a portable computer or does it have to be actual hardware?

I’d probably still take that deal but knowing some of these variables would help speed along the decision
>>
>>737678219
1. Yes, getting to the end credits
2. You're playing on the n64 emulator
>>
Beat as in 70 stars or 120? Either way it's a no-brainer. That's a million a year, most Americans don't make 6 figures, and you're making 10x that amount. After the first month you'll already be as good as a speedrunning tranny and finish the game in an hour or 2. The only people who would say no are either already wealthy or retarded.
>>
>>737677948
absolutely, i'd buy 100 back up consoles and carts too
>>
>>737677948
yeah that's easy. Takes less than 20 minutes if you learn beginner strats 16 star.
>>
What happens if you're really sick and can't play, jailed, or having a power outage all day, is your money taken away?
>>
>>737678148
>saying zero stars instead of 1 star
you're the casual, and you probably have no idea how badly you outed yourself
>>
>>737677948
Pretty much impossible without a single day off in 10 years.

You might as well get a 9-5 job and invest smartly to reach that. Might get more millions in even less years.
>>
>>737678398
Unfortunately any missed day would result in confiscation of the money and the full amount is expected to be paid back otherwise you will face jail time
>>737678336
Getting to the end credits like I said to the other anon, but honestly thinking about it i changed it to: 70 stars
>>
>>737678395
if you learn sblj you can get it done in under 10 mins every day
>>
>>737678475
8 minutes a day isn't a big ask, and you'd get that good within a few months
>>
>>737678487
do you have to play on console? id buy an underground bunker and generator for power in case
>>
>>737678520
depends what the consequences are for missing it, because you could always get knocked out by some rando and put into a coma or something

OP forgetting to stipulate what would happen if you fail to do it really fucked up
>>
>>737678520
You're playing on the n64 emulator. Also kek at underground bunker
>>
>>737678515
>10 millions is now worth $400K 10 years later

It's a shit deal
>>
>>737678153
>>737678480

>>737678576
>>
>>737678583
>he would just sit on the money
are you brown perchance?
>>
>>737678583
you don't understand the time value of money. the fact that you get it NOW means you can invest it and that 10M turns into 20M in 10 years.

If you get the 10M in 10 years then yeah, you have to apply a discount rate
>>
>>737678620
You get the money 10 years later
>>
>>737678638
look at OP again
>You will get 10 million upfront
learn to read bro
>>
I do it but I stop playing SM64 and my life becomes real life Bonanza Bros where I just kill dudes to escape taxes.
>>
>>737678480
You could change it to 120 stars and it's still an easy choice. For the average person they could do that in less than half a day, which is a lot of work, but also a ton of money. Autistic speedrunners can get 120 stars in less than 2 hours. After enough practice the average person could probably start doing that in 4 hours or less, and make way more than a doctor.
>>
>>737678808
True. But remember this must be done every single day for 10 years. So even if youre say, traveling or going on flights, this is still something that must happen in your 24 hours
>>
>>737678808
Having to play the same game every day for 10 years would kill your interest in video games. There are definitely circumstances that would make a missed day possible too.
>>
>>737678480
70 star changes a lot. that takes ~48 minutes a day once you get pretty good, compared to ~9 minutes if you do 1 star or ~17 minutes if you get good at 16 star

48 minutes is a decent chunk of time every day. that's 2920 hours of labour you're committing to.

still, $3424 an hour is a decent gig, and playing mario 64 everyday is actually pretty fun. I did one 16 star run every day for like 2 months just for fun once. The movement systems and capacity for improvement makes it an unusually robust game to playing long term.
>>
>>737677948
Yes, and eventually get good enough to play at 11:00/12:01 so you can maximize time not playing it
>>
>>737678889
there are lots of handhelds that can play Mario 64. Even your phone can run it.
>>
>>737677948
>10 million at the cost of becoming a mario 64 speedrunner
sure, most speedrunners do it for free
>>
>>737678908
I think I'd still enjoy Mario 64 10 years in. It's a good game for playing every day, because there's always lots of room for improvement
>>
>>737678583
you get it upfront bozo
>>
>>737678962
A break can bring improvement, you don't even have the choice there.

How about you just give me 1 million dollars and I only have to beat it once a week.
I could be happy with 1 milly
>>
>>737679060
I'm sure there'd be a year where you don't PB, but these things shake out eventually
>>
>>737678520
>sun crashes into the Earth
>it's 23:58 and you realize you left your N64 outside the bunker
>>
>>737677948
I would if I was allowed to use speedrun tricks to finish it. I would start out by doing 16 star runs until I get a time I'm happy with and then move on to 70 or 120 if I I'm having fun with the game. I'll probably also learn how to do 1/0 star in the process so I can just shit one of those out for days where I really don't feel up to it.
>>
>Blow all I can of the money on luxurious food, drugs, alcohol, and whores
>Literally binge myself to death without having to play once in the ultimate afternoon
Good luck trying to collect on my missed day retard
>>
>>737679779
wow anon you sure showed them. who could have ever thought of killing yourself as a way to escape debt

I wonder why no-one tries using that strat in real life
>>
>>737677948
Can I any% it? What are the terms of this agreement?
If I can learn to 16 star it in like even an hour a day it's worth it. If I have to do some turbo autism shit I wouldn't be capable
