Ahhh I wanted to make a joke about my calculator usage!!! I use YouTube for lessons!!
Ah, thats actually a realistic number for me as i use my calculator for work, finances, and some games too.
Uuu which games require a calculator?
Real time strategy and stuff. If i get a 15% bonus to a resource, sometimes i wanna know how much per turn that bonus is worth. Or in games like rimworld I'll do things like meals X #ofcolonists X number of days storage X 2meals per day. You could also do the same in RPGs while trying to decide what gear/perks gives you the best stats.
If you need a calculator for rimworld you may be far too gone but respect the grind
Its super useful, like how many dusters can I make out of this stack of 680 textiles? Or how many farming tiles minimum should i have per colonist or animal, how much pemmican for a caravan, i can get rough idea in my head but sometimes for bills or if you're short on labor being exact is nice.
