On the Randomness of Daygame and One More Set

I just got back from a session with my new wing. We called it quits at 8 pm as the foot traffic was getting sparse. We bid farewell and I marched towards the Friedrichstraße Metro (SBahn) station. My vibe was pretty low throughout the session so I was ready to call it a day.

Climbing the stairs, I noticed that the escalators leading to the train platform were blocked: “no service - under construction”. Fuck. Guess I’ll walk toward Hackescher Markt and take the metro from there. Might as well do one more set…

As humans, we tend to see patterns everywhere. Even there where there are none: my sets today were bland, so my mind extrapolated that I wouldn’t find anything particularly exciting at this time. However, there is no pattern to the streets: like a slot machine, a hot girl can appear absolutely out of nowhere, completely catching you off guard.

Lo and behold, as I was crossing the Lustgarten toward the bridge, a stunning 20 year old Ukranian girl with spider tattoos and bright red lips that looked like she French-kissed a beehive, strolled casually toward me. She looked so out of place between the dreary tourists moping around their day, I thought the Daygame Gods were trolling me. There was no question whether I was going to open her and soon number closed her after an alright set.

With lips like these and more daddy issues

The number flaked¹, but that’s not the point. What if there were no construction works on Friedrichstraße? I think it’s this randomness that makes daygame so addictive. I’ve had some wild sets and even one lay because of my decision to do One More Set.

The main take-away for me is that the streets are full of hidden gems: you can have ten worthless sets and score an absolute jackpot in a random alley because you decided to make a small detour on the way home.
