How exactly does rolling stats work again? I forget if it is...

You roll and you get a certain number of points to distribute among stats?
Or do you roll for each stat and then you can't adjust?
The former. Roll 4d6 drop lowest six times -> assign these totals to whichever stats you want. https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/step-by-step-characters#3DetermineAbilityScores

Or even set whatever stats you like for your character. I mean it is single player and if you have a 20-20-20-20-20-20 mr/ms Max(ine) Perfect.. well.. cheating but who cares.
Anyways there has been like half a dozen major ways to distribute stats from elaborate buys to roll 3d6 twice to 4d6 drop lowest and many many more. Even set 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8 in whatever stats you like or other such scores.
