I'm gonna be real with you, my dude, this 100% sounds like you wanting to feel clever and superior rather than actually being that way.

I, too, love me some hard puzzle games. Baba Is You does some wild things with the mechanics that make you feel super clever when you figure it out. However, games are deliberately designed to give you those moments. That's why they're fun. They're an experience.

Waving your hands around vaguely and going "you must experience the maaaaaaaagic of aaaaaiiiiiiiiii" does not make you sound like a great and powerful wizard with secret knowledge, it kinda just makes you sound like that kid who took yugioh way too seriously and believed in the heart of the cards.

I don't get FOMO when I hear people talk about their super secret prompting techniques, because if it was actually smart, they'd want me to know lol. So far I'm batting 1.000 on that conjecture.
