that’s what happens when you start to push your skills to see as far as they’ll go

although it seems like you may not have realized that skill is just a function of your natural ability, the people around you who might have taught you (or not) and… time invested

i think it’s harder to view your skill as a part of your identity, once you realize that. like, i am very good at soulslikes / monster hunter, which is cool and flashy, but also… i’ve been playing them for almost ten years now, and games as a whole my entire life: of course i’m good at them

on the other hand, you might struggle to learn something despite your time invested… then it sucks, because you’re probably missing something, or just not very naturally inclined towards what you’re trying to learn. but you there’s nothing you can do about that but seek out teachers and continue to try

at the end of the day, all you can really count as a merit for or against yourself is the time you’ve invested

…

all that said, we all recognize we each have inherent worth on the basis that we exist and we’re alive… right? :)

Holy fuck📸

What are you talkin about???
This is an incredible display of your skills🙌🔥

That looks entirely too stressful to me. Well done.

If you can do an advanced lobby in a Celeste modpack you definitely have skill!

Also +1 for Celeste and Strawberry Jam
