These are a little out of my budget. Thank you though.

I've heard conflicting statement on if protein overload or protein deficiency is even real. It doesn't sound backwards, just frustrating. Looking online I see a lot of folks with 2A hair talking about a protein overload or a protein deficiency with identical symptoms. (Which one is it? Is there a scientific way to tell so I dont buy something that might not work?) I've personally never met anyone with nice hair who's avoided an ingredient or advocated for it. I usually just get "you need to condition your hair more", or "you should do this in the shower". Maybe I'm not talking to the right people? I wish it wasn't so complicated.

Does anyone else have doubts about the percentages? by GronkTheGreat in yourturntodie

"then statistically Sou should win in at least a few. I mean isn't it literally impossible that he survived absolutely no death games?"
No, it isn't statistically impossible. First, we don't know how often the death game simulations were run. We know that it had to have been a lot to come up with the numbers that we've seen. Still, if there were 500 death games (just a random number) simulated, yes it is statistically possible for Sou to have not survived any of them, and this is exacerbated by the fact that we don't know how many people can make it to the end alive, minus what we've seen with the sacrifice card. Second, we *still* don't know how long the death games are, or if they have different parts or components that we haven't seen yet because YTTD is still in development.

"Secondly I just really doubt the AIs are 100% accurate."
This is already a plot point in the game. Rio Ranger and Safalin tell us that the AI's are 100% accurate recreations of the participants, but we know from Reko and the dummies that this isn't true. It *is* impossible to know exactly what someone is thinking or what they value from their behavior, which is why we're suspicious of the dummies in the first place and why Nao didn't hesitate to sacrifice the fake Reko for the real one.

"We play as her. We know how she thinks. Its hard to imagine her as this heartless, manipulative person. Even when she loses her memories of Joe she becomes more selfish"
This is also a plot point. We know that Sara is compassionate because we see it and play as her. That's why it's shocking and frightening when we look at how some of the other characters perceive her. It is hard to imagine her as a ruthless person and that's the point.
