these "progress threads" are kinda cringe imo. Maybe they should get their own subforum. Seems like a lot of narcissism and pride. I don't think people realize just how much all their "progress" doesn't matter. Get a job, make money, get a mortgage, in the end after many years of "work" you can show a house. What about runescape? You think anyone cares about my old rs3 account? Nope. I like the video on youtube that "yogosun" made, but these should be like 5 minute videos that you see once every few years or such, not daily threads. Getting your own progress and achievement feels nice, but looking for validation from strangers on the internet is cringe and a waste of time.
And I think you should focus a lot less on "oh I suck at the game, I Don't know" it doesn't matter, it's a game. When you're at a job interview, then "I don't know" does matter. On a video game, "I don't know" doesn't matter. It only matters if YOU have fun, not if some toxic elitist sweatbag says "ughhhh kick this guy out of the team, he suuuuucks!". Unless you're a big time elitist streamer like odablock, who makes real life money from elite content (or sucking at it) then it doesn't matter if you suck at the game. In fact, he often makes money showing people how much he sucks at the game. Meanwhile port khzard is x100 better than him and 99% of people don't care, and don't give him money. I think money is far more important than being good or bad at a game. Money pays your bills.
You have a strange viewpoint, I give you that.
I can only speak from my point of view of course, but I have made a progression thread for the sake of tracking my progress. It motivates me to go on and enables me to look back at what I already finished.
I actually would have been fine using the blog function for that but jsp discontinued those so there is no better option for those than here.
I certainly dont care what others think about my progress.
And I actually enjoy reading other peoples progression threads, it enables me to see how other people play the game and I always learn new stuff.
I dont get how narcissism or pride are related but then again I dont feel the need to explain to others how they should behave based on the fact that I think my own opinion is more important then others.
I certainly enjoyed reading the 100+ pages UIM thread of
.
But comparing playing a game to working a job certainly makes me doubt whether or not you understand the main points of games.
