Today I used 8 prompts using GPT-5.4 high. In the old days this would have cost 4 credits per prompt, so 32 credits or 6.4% of my 500 credit monthly allowance. In the new system this used 17% of my weekly allowance which corresponds to 4.25% of my monthly allowance (a little less if it's not February).

I also used up 34% of my daily allowance, so I'm not close to being capped there.

I didn't really expect to go against the consensus, but at least for my use case the new system is better than the old. Maybe I'll get hate for being the only one who is positive about the new system, but I was determined to post my results, good or bad, and this is the objective reality of my little experience

I like to be data-driven and base my decisions on historical data. I've been using ficalc.app to try out different strategies, and the one that I've found works the best so far, for me, is the Vanguard Dynamic Spending withdrawal strategy with a starting withdrawal rate of 4.2%, a lower guardrail of 2.5%, and an upper guardrail of 5%.

Would be fun to have some sounds in the games.

The blocky shapes should be replaced by art. But the game is pretty good.

Whenever I finish a game of Retro Racing, it always says I'm 8th place even though the stats in the top left says I'm in 3rd or some other position.

I played through the game and I'm left with two unmatching colors, making it impossible to win. And the game is so boring anyway. You're just clicking on colors that look the same. Where's the challenge in that?

The plain white walls everywhere makes it hard to see what's going on. And why is there a minimap at the top right of the screen. That kind of makes it too easy. And the gem and the exit only show up in the minimap. There's no representation of them in the actual 3D world.

It looks like Nyan Cat barfed all over my screen.

I can just hold down spacebar and I get infinite bullets spraying across the screen. And if an alien does get passed me, I'm not even punished at all.
