Method covering the "Race to 60"

[Druiddroid]

Wild. Why?

Speedrunners only value the time it takes to beat the game. So, it makes no sense for a speedrunner to "keep" a game file after they beat the game. They will delete it and start a new one so they can start over and achieve a faster time.

In this case, beating the game is hitting 60 ASAP, & the game file is the character.

Still badass to just try to delete it like that. At first I thought he was messing around but now I realize he really did want to.

Makes sense, I suppose.

There's a Buddhist practice of making those incredibly intricate sand and rock gardens and then destroying them as soon as they're done. Reminds me a bit of that.

...and just so @Chops's understandable "conflation" doesn't cause any "confusion":

• Tibetan Buddhists ritualistically erase their intricate "sand mandalas" to teach an appreciation of the wonders of life, no matter how temporary they may be...
• Zen Buddhists don't destroy their intricate "rock gardens"... but instead constantly strive to make them into (simultaneously) more accurate/abstract representations of nature, in hopes that a deeper understanding will provide some insight into of the meaning of life.

(...this is definitely not a direction I expected this thread to take...)

There ya go! Sauce was that I got dragged to an art museum when I was very young, saw an exhibit on this and over the next 20+ years my brain simplified it into "they make cool shit then destroy it"

Apologies for the conflation.

This is fantastic, thank you.
