Sometimes, I gripe about how my luck in games is kinda lame. For example, take 
Granted, I haven't spent any money on the game yet (if you could call it that at this stage). So, I'm still waiting for that slight chance that I would get a "masterpiece" in the future. Let's be honest, despite of all the clicking, I haven't even gotten more than 1000 CBM yet.
In some cases, I got pretty lucky in 
That's definitely an uncommon occurrence. Turns out, the Atlantis is the rarest background one could have. I don't mind having a different background, I guess. At the same time, I'm not in a hurry to trade it off for something else. It's the inner completionist urging me to hold onto stuff. Come to think of it, the background reminds me of Rapture from Bioshock, but much brighter.
From a ROI perspective, that's definitely dumb move. But, it's a game. I have spent far more money on games like Magic or Hearthstone over the years. That potential extra dozen or few hundred HIVE won't make that deficit disappear. Not any time soon anyhow.
Besides, I have been playing DCity backwards. I'm not even building my SIM income first. Instead, I've been pumping my education stats for laughs.
What do we learn from this? In the words of the well known streamer Kripp, I guess I'm sometimes lucky.
