I hate this terminologymaxxing, too. /s

[–] EpeeGnome@feddit.online 8 points 6 days ago

I'm sick of it too. From now on I'm going to max as little as possible. I'm calling it minmaxxing and no, it has nothing to do with RPG character stats.

IKR minning is where it's at.

I say I'm fatmaxxing when I eat a bunch of food — that's about the only way I'll use 'maxxing' as a term. I actually just hate the trend, but that's more because I hate 4chan than the term itself.
