So I'm back with another CYOA (choose your own adventure). This time it's about pills. Not red or blue pills, but special either way.
It's simple: you get to choose either 2 pills or just 1 pill. If you choose just 1 pill you also get the bonus effect.
Game pill is immensely broken, so for this play pretend I'm gonna pretend it's not there.
Focus pill + rift pill.
Mimicry is a skill you can learn, I'm carrying a phone so I already know I'm being watched and being locked in to one animal sounds very restrictive. Also kinda dangerous I guess.
Alternatively Focus + Nocturnal (but just the bonus, not the other stuff). Being guaranteed a good nights rest sounds pretty good.
The game pill is OP because I can just mod all of these pills into C:DDA and grab them out of the game one at a time.
adderall
Focus + game pill
Why take the Spy Pill when I can just dose myself up on benadryl and lock myself in a sensory deprivation chamber for two weeks.
With the Focus Pill I could immediately master my career, which would be nice, and then I could just become good at everything else I am interested in over time. Seems a pretty good day, but today in B&M I saw an incredibly buff tiger (it was a dog chew toy) and I wished that I looked like that, so I think the Creature Pill would be pretty cool too. Or maybe I could finally become a minotaur, as it always should have been.
I don't even know how I would use the Game Pill, diamonds maybe?

I feel like it would be tricky to sell random loose diamonds/gold/other raw materials, but I could be wrong.
Game + rift
Infinite supply of sci-fi quality explosives and the ability to teleport in + out of where they get planted.
It says inanimate not inorganic. One could easily use this plus dwarf fortress to get elf/dwarf/merfolk/goblin/ext DNA and turn reality into shadowrun.
It would be cool to find a game with an AI that fits on a device within the size limit and just let it loose to mess with the roko’s basilisk people.
The focus and game pill both allow infinite power via munchkining, so I choose both.
Creature pill doesn't say there is a limit of time, so I just turn into a dnd dragon permanently. Now I can change shape at will, with no drawbacks
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Focus pill and id throw the rest in the bag and just eat one at random
Game pill and get some OP JRPG macguffin
why is jumper pill so unpopular, it's 90% of the way to a flying fantasy cmon. but to become the ultimate prole assassin one needs the jump & a game pill to get like, a bullet-proof ring from bloodborne 
Since the jump doesn't have a cooldown or a height limit, I think you could instagib anybody who is outdoors at any time. [redacted] doing a speech? Splat! Zoom!
game pill to give myself a toolgun from gmod so i can use that insanely insecure addon that allows you to spawn buttons that can run console commands, so that i can run commands in the console of the universe, becoming god
disappointed nobody else seems interested in creature pill
Ignoring its potential for scientific study I just want to take it and a wilds pill and hang out with crows
Focus and creature to turn into some kind of cool bird.
creature pill me i wanna be like a anthro dog or cat person maybe a bear or hyena idk birds are cool too. i'll design something thats immune to aging, immune to disease, near 100% efficiency digestive systems, (i mean i want like a pulsating fleshy nuclear reactor instead of intestines in there so i only have to eat or shit like once every 1000000000000 years), ability to see more spectra of radiation than humans, better hearing and smell, maybe even just like a shapeshifter creature for maximum control of bodily aesthetics and abilities. plus whatever psi/magic/mental bs is physically possible to engineer into a creature in this scenario. brain like a mystical pentagon supercomputer combined with Thoth. fleshmaxxing.
Game pill. I will summon skill trainers from Rimworld every week and become a true polymath. I could be psychic too with psytrainers, ooooo
GOTTA be jumper pill, baby. I'm gonna be like a Dragoon from Final Fantasy
I'm bored so here's my analysis
I look at every skill in terms of power, stealth, or money potential
The game pill is also stupidly OP so I pretend it doesn't exist.
focus - this sucks. The bonus also sucks
mimic - definitely a fun gimmick, become a well-paid celebrity/voice actor. slight stealth potential as well (guising as important people, but only via phone call). But you'd still need the contacts of the important people involved so not that great.
The bonus is interesting, you could imitate car bombs and terrorist attacks and stuff? Possible stealth potential
spy - great stealth potential. Guaranteed invisibility as long as there's no cameras around--you can do any shady shit you want in a room full of people. Bonus is okay, the same skill but stronger
creature - great stealth but too risky. only use is turning into a fly or bat or something to be unnoticed, but then you get killed by a hawk or a person. Bonus sucks too
nocturnal - very good stealth potential, and also fun because dreams are fun! A very good bonus skill! (The bonus makes the focus pill obsolete lol gg)
game - Hilariously OP, just design a card game and pick the infinite-wish-no-drawback-genie lamp. I'm just going to pretend this one doesn't exist because it's so ridiculously OP and the definition of "game" is so vague. Even if it's only video games it's still stupidly OP
jumper - No stealth, but immense power. But not really bc you still get killed by a bullet. They see you jump once, then they just send you to area 51 with the greys. The bonus sucks, what's the point of landing on your feet if you take no fall damage regardless? Are you just tryna become an olympic gymnast or something, but for superheroes? lame ass
rift - best stealth potential. Bonus...is kinda underwhelming but maybe situationally good for [redacted] the Kohinoor diamond or something
wilds - possibly best stealth. Could hide in the forest without fearing bear attacks, or even bug bites (animals too!). Presumably animals would help you hide from humans? No need for google maps (which leaves cell trail) However, it is dependent on wilderness existing, which is a huge weakness. Also very vague about what "wilderness" really is. The bonus is okay, not too useful but very fun and interesting.
First choice is obviously Game Pill, which shouldn't be here because it ruins the point of the exercise. If Game didn't exist then:
1 pill only: Nocturnal
2 pills: Creature + Wilds. full stealth by turning into a bat, and you won't get eaten. This is the most OP combination
other good/funny choices:
Creature + Spy, but only if Spy applies to animals watching you too. If it does, it cancels the weakness of Creature pill: you can turn back into a human before the hawk eats you
Jumper + Rift: You get to dab on the military by becoming a living boost-glide missile playing IRL Portal 2. But the jumping would remove any stealth and you'd be killed eventually.
Tier list:
Oh hell yes:
Double focus pill (fully master? Like I'm the greatest author in the world?)
Nocturnal pill solely for lucid dreaming
Game pill probably, though I'll need advice from more avid 
s on what to use it on.
Maybe:
Creature pill - Can I be a person? Can I be a specific person? Does the person age? Lots of potential hijinks here. Even just being young every weekend as I grow older makes this one pretty attractive.
Why:
Mimic pill - people can already do this pretty well. Might as well stick with creature pill and be Rahzel when the need arises.
Spy pill - having it never go off seems depressing.
Jumper pill - what does one even do with this after being a novelty for 15 minutes?
Rift pill - I guess using the bonus power to break comrades out of jail has some revolutionary potential, but I think that would just get me shot.
Wilds pill - More like guilt pill where I feel bad every day I stay in areas inhabited only by humans and their pets, which is pretty much every day.
In the end, the nocturnal pill is just selfish and doubling down on focus is double the FOMO from the other pills. Creature and game pill me.
Lol I'm a game dev I'd take the game pill then just make a game that is a dumping ground for devices that give me all the other powers and more. If that's off limits somehow maybe jumping and wilderness so I can have an exploration adventure
I already have the nocturnal pill and it sucks folks.
