The two sour losers I know just refuse to play any game at all. Cooperative games or team games they think are kinda fine though of they are "forced to". They just can't handle being targeted as individuals.
I'm like that and really I have lots of free time because of not playing any competitive games
Downside is I obviously don't use that free time to do anything I'm not already skilled at, like art or music or writing or exercise (except for rock climbing which I manage to not be competitive at)
You are too tied to the whims of the capital to risk going down such a specialized field where you need multibillion dollar worth of machinery to get started, I would say.
8% less power would imply between 0.92 and towards 0.92^0.5 times lower speed depending on if you are in the mainly linear or mainly quadratic region of resistance.
Older dynamos with a bulb connected were quite tiresome to propell.
The 8% are at the top of the power output - at the bottom end, the fraction doesn't matter. You'll be able to provide 5W more if you're only pedaling at 50W.
The old dynamos were a chore. But their efficiency pales in comparison to a solid hub dynamo :)
