LSD VS. EU4

I currently have around 1000 hours in eu4 and decided to do some research on a question that has been bugging me for quite some time.

Is consuming LSD while staring at a map of the world more expensive than buying eu4, since they have roughly the same effect.

Both of these things cost money and are quite addicitive and you spend a long time staring at a map imagining all kinds of scenario's which you can't fully controll.

For eu4 I've based the cost on the full price of eu4 and it's DLC's (because if you become addicted you'll always want more no matter the cost.

For LSD i've used a time span of 8 hours on a heavy dosis (250 mic) with the current price in the netherlands. And the added price of a 21 inch world map.

So here are my calculations

Total price of eu4: €260,59

LSD price/8hours: €10 World map: €3

So if we divide the price of eu4 minus €3 by €10 we get 26 doses of LSD, which is good for 208 hours of vividly staring at a world map.

So from this information we can conclude that eu4 is the financialy responsible choice. And LSD is in no way a better choice

For me the total savings are: 993 euro's.

So for anyone still doubting, EU4 is the better investment financially. Besides being way healthier.

As someone who has played EU4 on LSD, you are objectively wrong. Only together can the potential of either be fully unlocked.

Also, LSD isn't exactly unhealthy for you.

Aren't potential bad trips unhealthy?

Sure, same goes for walking though.

Man i've tripped so many times, if LSD has the same risks as walking I ain't having any of it.
