Welcome again to everybody. Make yourselves at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread!

Honestly, philology and the process of correctly interpreting what is said and what it means and what it implies and even comparing and contrasting different excerpts or passages from different authors is a highly underrated field, practically something you need to develop into its own art (you can’t just read a book giving you instructions exactly on how to do all this, you gotta develop it over time).
Also, minmax theory? What exactly?
tbf i honestly forget what minmax means specifically as a speedrun term but i’m fairly sure it’s just maximizing achievement for least amount of time and that’s what i hope i do. finally getting faster at understanding things Better
