Paperclips Game

This thing seriously sucked me in for about 6 hours straight last night. It goes to places you never would have ever imagined.

    Try to sell paperclips and see where it goes. It will offer upgrades at certain points to help you expand your empire.

    I honestly don't really understand the nuance of most of what's happening here, but since it's doing so much automatically I'm just letting it continue to accumulate for the hell of it now

    what's the most common price you've set for how much you sell the paperclips for?

    When I played it yesterday, I was doing it on my phone. That was a mistake. I had to keep my phone plugged in and the screen on the whole time (the game pauses if it's not on top in an open browser). On the computer today and it's way easier/faster. Still trying to get back to where I was yesterday/this morning when I was on my phone and I'm getting close. Waiting for the drifter war to begin...

    this might literally be the most instantly addictive (made even more insane by how much I don't at all understand all of it) thing I've ever fucking seen


    I think my max sell price I got to was $1.25, I'm all the way back down to .30 now. well and cause I accidentally got WAY too many "megaclippers", I was producing the clips way too fast and so had to just up and stop buying the wire all together for awhile

    Public demand is 37k%, and I have unsold inventory of over 1.5m, but can’t sell them bc I’m making more than I’m selling but can’t reduce my price at all. So infuriating

    the Quantum Computing thing, just every time I see the little square appear and start to get really deeply black (from starting just light gray), I hit the "compute" button again and get it as close to 360 as possible, I'm assuming/hoping that's being advantageous to me in SOME way lol
