There's actually something to this. Olympians that were surveyed reported more satisfaction with a bronze than a silver.

That makes a lot of sense, thinking about it. With a bronze, you can say, "well, I had a really rough day, but even still I managed to eke out a bronze." But with silver, you're tempted to say "...but could I have done 0.2s better and got the gold?"

Depending on the sport sometimes a bronze is a win and a silver is a loss. With some sports, if it’s a one on one thing, there’s a game that’s basically “if you win it’s a bronze, if you lose it’s fourth place” and then the next game (with different team obviously) is “if you win it’s a gold, if you lose it’s a silver”. So if you get a bronze, you won, if you get a silver, you lose.

Great point, although there's also the third option where silver goes to the winner of the losers' bracket (so, they only lost one game, and it wasn't the last one). I'm pretty sure they don't do that in the Olympics, though.

The last olympics I followed was 2010 so things may have changed without my knowledge too.

Their AC was 18 so my best wasn't good enough to make a dent today.

That's only because you forgot to add your proficiency modifier. Don't forget to take your own skills and circumstances into account! You have more to contribute than you think!

I just passed a LARP group in a park near my place. Three had to be forty people gathered in a picnic area comparing their costumes

This is what I tell myself when I buy lottery tickets. I legit imagine the D20 and everything. Keeps me going.
