comparing slow players to a terminal disease is such a sweaty thing lmao.
OP has less than 100 games under their belt and you're telling them to turn off their brain while playing? Yes once you've played this game a lot, the heuristics become unconscious and it just becomes largly a slot machine dopamine simulator. But if you don't have those heuristics, you have to pick them up somehow, and some people like figuring them out for themselves rather than listening to some guy on YouTube. That takes time and thought while playing.dizinovi wrote: ↑20 October 2026, 11:53 And I promise you, no thought is required for playing this game, especially when it is your time to make an action. Also your ELO tells me all your thinking time is spent on finding a worse move rather than a good move, which means you don't really care about learning the game or winning, so why are you sweating it when it's time to make a decision in the first place? You out of everyone should play instantly, as you have probably spent no time learning what leads to victory, so the quality of your actions is basically random regardless of thinking time behind them. And of course if you want to learn the game by playing and through trial and error only, instead of watching very good players making Youtube video game reviews and guides prior, again; faster play = more trials per minute = more learning.
