And yet, that isn't how I understand the basic level of nihilism at all. Life, the universe, everything has not one but many points (1 if solipsistic garbage)... a point does not have to be objective/inherent for a point to there be

I agree, we can only make our own purpose, but that for me does not mean that life itself has a purpose in the grand scheme of things.
What is the grand scheme of things? And does this apply only to the lawful? And who was the schemer?

And yet it has worth to me and meaning to me, therefore it is neither worthless or meaningless (As it possess both worth and meaning). And if it did have no meaning, then what precisely would you be on about? And worth/value is individual or compromised by a group of individuals... and I find that all the cool groups believe nihilism to at least be worth an occasional joke
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
