Elrond & SpeedrunSam
SpeedrunSam
Hey Elrond, ever notice how your elven architecture is built for efficiency, kind of like how speedrunners optimize every frame to shave off milliseconds? I'd love to hear your take on the art of optimization.
Elrond
Elrond: I see the parallel you draw. Just as a well‑crafted hall of Elendil stands firm and unyielding, an optimized game runs smooth and unbroken. Both require a keen eye for waste and a steady hand to remove it. The principle is simple: cut what is not essential, strengthen what is core, and keep the flow steady. In architecture or in a race, speed comes not from raw power alone but from disciplined restraint. So yes, efficiency is not merely a craft, it is a philosophy of balance and purpose.
SpeedrunSam
Yeah, exactly. Cut the fluff, tighten the core, and watch the ticks drop. That's the same code you write for a perfect jump and the same code you use to design a fortress. No excuses, just pure efficiency.
Elrond
Elrond: Indeed. When you strip away what is unnecessary, the remaining structure or code stands firm. That is the true measure of mastery.
SpeedrunSam
Mastery’s all about the clean, precise line. No fluff, no wasted frames, just the thing that makes the timer tick. That's how I stay on the lead.
Elrond
Elrond: Your focus is commendable. Precision breeds strength, whether in stone or in code. Keep aligning the lines, and the tower—and the timer—will stand unshaken.
