Making your own valorial framework is a close cousin to accepting there is no inherent one.
This is true for many things (all things?), but I think we can agree that as pointless or challenging being fast driving a car still welcomes the intended use of the car, is surrounded by a broadly shared and accepted economical advantage.
Esports would be the equivalent, pushing to be the best at a game, the way it’s meant to be played.
Speedrun is getting into a racing car and mastering with an iron will getting in and out as fast as possible.

Do such efforts bring value to gaming or are they more of an academic exercise?
Neither? Speedrunning is entirely nihilistic. It rejects the rules of society to the point of rejecting the rules of games themselves in favor of meaningless tantric repetition. It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.
I find it fun and dreadful at the same time, as a concept, I would never do it myself in a million years.
In short, it’s an artistic performance.

Go watch a tutorial on that, it’s very different from League in that regard (and on minion aggro as well).

Headscale is not essential. Of course in this context the “self-hosted service” would be the Tailscale client…

I don’t know the current status of League onboarding but as a veteran I attempted and accompanied various people throught it in the years and it’s been painfully, criminally bad for the longest time. Both when there was nothing but the weekly free rotation to pick from and have to sink a month of grinding to get a single champ, till the more recent “we gift you a champ every 2 levels so you can actually play the game”.
I think it used (still does?) to boil down to the delicate balance of 1) the attrition of the early grind is the easiest to monetyze 2) the need for new players to keep the game alive 3) the miracolous success of the game making no changes better than changing something and finding out you inadvertedly sapped the magic out of it.

I guess you are built differently.
- Comment on In the American class warfare, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters. 4 days ago:
Yes?
So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says “vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!” and strictly go for “fuck that shit”.
I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it’s not now.

Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.
In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it’s a good thing that she lost hard.

One of the most beautiful opening lines to a novel.
Abundantly clearly not.

You are right for feeling dirty, maybe reconsider everything about the situation and work on why would you even let hatred be part of your work environment.

I guess they could make good games, it’s in their interest, I’m not going to give them money either way.

The fuck is a practicing atheist? Do they actively face nord every day at 3 pm and thinks really hard about how much there is no God for 3.14 minutes?

Since we are on the topic of missing clues, we share the same religion.
Also, assuming Christ was indeed a man that lived, we are biologically speaking cousins, just as we both are.
Checkmate fellow ateist.

You made that redundantly clear but the more the merrier.
Still literally a cousin in Christ.

Distant cousin in Christ.

To be fair unless you come from nobility, it’s likely most of those thousand of people were from the exact same locations.

- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 weeks ago:
There’s a spectrum, but if I were to map all and every dark pattern, random loot surely qualifies.
If a fight is compelling it has its own reward, random drop chances (especially abysmal drop-rate) will have you mindlessly repeating it no matter the quality of the boss design.
