I was going to say something of another kind that has to do with mechanical solves but I realized that it was simply the competitive kind in different clothing, so I suppose my point is instead that the competitive kind of fun comes in many shapes and sizes, different for each person. For some this is making good reads and getting lynches/mislynches, or for others this could be making a logical/mechanical deduction that no one else made, and using it to give your team an advantage. The thing is that the fun comes from someone using their strategy, and doing it to their team’s advantage, or even just doing it well, even if it doesn’t end up helping their team. It’s the fun that comes from developing any skill and doing it well
I play for this kind of fun, I just get it in a different way, or at least that’s the idea
I still aim for my team to do well, mind you. Winning is just the goal for which to use your skill
So, in terms of seeing this conflict in a more played out scenario, I direct you to the friendlies vs tryhards conflict in tf2

I’m getting a sense of fulfillment from trying
It’s because I’m not talking on this forum
You know, people say that, but they leave out the part of the myth where Daedalus warned his son not to fly too low lest the water weigh down his wings and cause him to drown
I said this because I was thinking about I forgot their name but like an inventor made wings to escape someplace in mythology
I didn’t forgot I purposefully ignored it
That’s what all good new sources do after all if they want to push a narrative
