It’s important to think outside the box, and that’s easier when you’re not aware of the box, but we also stand on the shoulders of giants, and are doomed to repeat history if we don’t learn from it. As usual, things aren’t clear-cut.

Particularly, they played Slay the Spire which is the genre's most influential "Giant" and the entire reason for the game's progression structure (Small fights leading to a known big fight with particular anti-strategy gimmicks).

- GuB-42 2y ago> It’s important to think outside the box, and that’s easier when you’re not aware of the box I don't think so. If you are not aware of the box, there is a much greater chance for you to be well within the box and not realizing it. By that, I mean that either you rediscovered something, or you are wrong in the same way as many others before you. By chance, you may find something new and unexpected, but that's more of an exception than the rule.
