Instead, value that different humans value different things, life would be utterly boring if everyone was the same, wouldn't it?

To be fair, it can affect the non-modders as well. I remember being very annoyed when I found out, after I had already bought it, that my current GPU comes with RGB lights that automatically turn on.

I jest of course, but I do seem to have min-maxing tendencies.

Well, the better news is that awareness is the first step towards being able to iterate/fix something :) Take care!

Modders min-max for aesthetics!
