I had a code for this last year. I thought this game was cool, and I faithfully refrained from using them. Then today I saw this post, checked my email, and when I didn’t find any codes I noticed that I felt sad. I’m not deeply sad, to be clear, but I definitely am a little disappointed that I don’t have a string of numbers which have exactly one use which I have next to zero intention of ever using, that only two hundred people get, and which would be useless after a day. On reflection, this disappointment is obviously silly, and in particular the way this initially parsed as a thing being taken away from me is very silly.
So yeah, that’s how my day is going so far. To those who got codes, thank you for not temporarily destroying a small part of the internet!
Today I learned that loss aversion is very weird.
