Yeah, so far I enjoy it when the best strats involve cuts that are interesting or still interact with most of the course, but some days it's just grinding a corner bounce to skip the entire thing and that's not fun to me.

I tried Tuesday's and was a bit disappointed since the optimal strategy was sort of trivial and cut out the entire course. I liked this course a lot more though! There were a lot of tricks to incrementally improve your score and I spent a while whittling away at it.

Gave it a try; seems like most experienced players score a 4 or less because you can bounce a shot over the first wall straight to the end. Feels like that spoils the fun a bit, but idk...

Yeah I think the commonality in these behaviors is that they serve to enforce the social order. Whether they realize it or not, that's what they're doing, and viewing it through that lens makes it much more clear what's going on.

Doesn't help if someone you're talking to has it on. And unlike Zuck's stupid glasses you won't even be able to know unless you ask every single person you talk to first. This sucks.

Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

Unfortunately the reviewer doesn't seem to mention a bunch of details about how the games were actually played such as, critically, which version of Proton he used. CachyOS ships its own version of Proton which pulls in a bunch of bleeding-edge features with significant performance impacts. I'm not sure if that Proton is used by default or not though; it may depend on the specific launcher used and configuration. Without knowing that, it's going to be difficult to attempt to reproduce his results.
