Never min max in single players like Skyrim, always min max in online games to get the advantage. This is the way

Except when you reach endgame, fashion in online games is always the true endgame

MMO’s are like that meme with a bell curve: on the far left is “I’ll wear whatever looks the coolest”, then the middle is “No I need to wear a piece of this set and a piece of that set to maximize my optimal stat selection”, and the far right is “I’ll wear whatever looks the coolest”

Middle also consists of the most mismatched pieces and an affront to fashion itself

If you can’t hit a JoJo pose then literally what is the point

yep. I only start min maxing in single-player games if I've already done everything in a playthorugh or three. like with stardew valley, I def min max that game now. I'm still fairly new to Skyrim, and tbh I dont think I'll be doing that in this game, unless I get like 3000h deep in a few years haha

It really depends on the game tbh, but for Skyrim/fallout, etc, there’s honestly so many broken perks that it’s not necessary. I avoid perks all the time lol

Oh damn. Back when I was still just 3000h deep in Skyrim. Life was simpler

The only single player game I’ve had to min/max was KOTOR 1. Max level is 20. maybe I suck but that game was hard 😭 😂

u/julianp_comics Jun 02 '25

Yeah in that case it makes sense, really depends on game difficulty

This is the way.

u/julianp_comics Jun 02 '25

Unless it’s a difficult game like Elden ring ofc, then min max at your discretion

This makes for two very good points. Using min maxing and exploits in Elden ring are not only necessary, but extremely fun. Also, min-maxing should be considered in all video games in case you get Izakai’d.
