You ever get into the weird endgame state where you essentially have free rein to do as you please to the other players and they cannot do anything about it? Where you can prolong the game indefinitely and torture them for fun, or simply end things on a whim. That is someone’s daily life.
Am I the only one who restarts the game after I get to that point? You know, because the point of the story is the challenge? Why would I stay in a stagnant endgame plateau forever when the climb is the fun part?
Because someone else got a higher score than you last week and even if you crawl inside their walls to learn their daily habits and replace their anxiety medication with caffeine pills again, they’ll still have the higher score. So you have to get an even higher one.
And of course the answer is always
“I woke up naked and alone in the forest, I don’t know how I got there or anyone around me. So the first thing I did is fashion some bootstraps out of some sapplings and I pulled on them so hard that an investor (don’t look up how they are related to me) appeared out of thin air to grant me with $10M dollars and office space. From there I worked 25 hours a day every day all by myself to create my business. A practice I’m still engaged in right now, as you can plainly see while interviewing me. This is the first suit I’ve ever worn that I purchased for this interview along with my rolex”
