npub1kpwlxpzkxfmuxjmzc2wp3rf9vjg0sgydmlhsnrgqr3maf59h86qqdxxzz4 (npub1kpw…xzz4) hex have six directions with uniform distance, square has four. diagnals are an eternal meme.
also was reading some signal papers that hex gates generally work better than square for similar reasons bees use them; they just have a mathematically better fit with space.
but i think for me they are associated with wargaming which is associated with minmaxing tedium
