But something that I will probably invest in is buying a house since house prices are always going up. And I could always sell it and I would get more money than what I bought it for. In the stock game I would always be glad and excited that I gained money even the tiniest bit because I knew that meant I gained, but when I lost money it was the complete opposite because the whole game was about who has the most money and their strategies. And when I lost money it felt like real money because everything was so ‘complicated’ it felt someone who actually does stocks, does it that way. But for me, I lost money more than I gained which lead me to not be last or first but somewhere in the middle. Which was okay, since I was not losing a lot of money. There are many things I would have done differently for one I would have gone on a lot more, I do have to admit that I wasn't on it all the time because of the hours it was opened but if I did go on a lot more I would have done a lot better.Secondly, I would have made a wiser choice since I didn't know what to do, I really at first just clicked some random ones which put me

The thesis statement of the game Papers, Please can be summarized as such: “What should you value more: the lives of the few people you know of the lives of the many you don’t know?” In the game, this statement takes the form of helping certain people at a country’s border checkpoint, even at the cost of the money you can use to help your family live a more comfortable lifestyle. When viewing this question from the hedonistic perspective, which, according to Andrew Alwood, involves any pleasure that is “enjoyed in a tranquil state with no pain or distress,” the best course of action would be to do whatever it takes to ensure yourself and your family can live comfortably, not having to worry about getting sick or freezing to death. This, however, does not consider any uncomfortableness the player character may feel having to separate families or let in criminals for fear of getting punished for their actions, though hedonism does tend to focus more on physical pleasure, such as one’s comfortability, rather than attitudinal pleasure (Schrier, Hedonism).
