      @DustinB3403 Interesting. I can't think of anything I applied this train of thought to

      Which means you likely are in the sunk cost fallacy a lot.

      A simple example is you have a server that is nothing but trouble, so you keep trying to fix the issue when the simple solution is to just reinstall or replace the hardware.

        I can see what you mean

          Ug - we have this problem with our building HVAC. it's been having issue for 10+ years... we've been through at least 3 vendors - and according to my boss, not one of them has said we should just replace it.

          Of course they don't say that because it's not in their best interest - they don't keep getting to bilk us for repair work.

          Getting out of Sunk Cost Fallacy requires you to do it to yourself.

            In my position I'm managing someones elses hardware so I can't make those types of decisions unfortunately. They have the last word.

              In that case, they are in a sunk cost fallacy, if you are recommending they replace it, and they don't. Then you bill them to support it, it is their issue, and not yours.

                @wirestyle22 Now if you found out its costing you more to support this system than it would be to just fire the client, then you are in a sunk cost fallacy of your own.

                But that could be fixed by charging the client more money.

                    Well, technically keeping the client because you already have them would be sunk cost at that point.

                      Well, only if he isn't profiting from the relationship. He makes a recommendation for the client to save money and time. He's paid no matter what.

                      And he'd bill for the time spent supporting a trouble system. Maybe with ever increasing cost to support the system.

                      It's purely the client not wanting to upgrade for one reason or another.

                        Now unless he spent hours of his day trying to make recommendations to the client to upgrade and they just kept shooting down each of those issues, he's wasting his time.

                        He should quit asking the client (or recommending) that the client upgrade, and just bill them every time they need this system supported.

                              Grinding seems to be what most games on mobile devices are these days - Just not my thing.

                              Angry Birds was cool because it was about a single mission trying to do the thing. But walking all over a map to collect info to then assemble a puzzle - yeah I think I just put my finger on it.

                              I don't care for games that have a long term goal, nor do I care for twitch games (FPS).

                              Same here. I'm a GTA kind of player. Give me a gun, a car, and a target. Hunt around a map and talk to people to find a hidden key? Screw that. Imma blow some stuff up!

                              I hate shooters and twitch games. Just not my style at all. I am a huge JRPG style play or a RTS.

                              I'll agree with you on RTS, for sure.

                                    That was definitely a fun game. Offworld Trading Company actually made me more interested in the economical parts of games than the actual warfare. Never thought I'd say that honestly.

                                    I played Company of Heroes a lot. Competed in Dawn of War 2 (which 3 is coming out soon).

                                      Grinding seems to be what most games on mobile devices are these days - Just not my thing.

                                      Angry Birds was cool because it was about a single mission trying to do the thing. But walking all over a map to collect info to then assemble a puzzle - yeah I think I just put my finger on it.

                                      I don't care for games that have a long term goal, nor do I care for twitch games (FPS).

                                      Same here. I'm a GTA kind of player. Give me a gun, a car, and a target. Hunt around a map and talk to people to find a hidden key? Screw that. Imma blow some stuff up!

                                      I hate shooters and twitch games. Just not my style at all. I am a huge JRPG style play or a RTS.

                                      I'll agree with you on RTS, for sure.

                                      Whats your poison sir?

                                      I still love to play AoE2. We've actually got a small group going on it again. Lots of fun.

                                      Wish that I had more time to play, been so busy 😞
