My ranking on most online games is somewhere between Apprentice and Dog Watching Magic Tricks.
To be fair to myself, Ive long suffered from hand tremors which can make extreme precision difficult.
To be even more fair to myself, I would probably suck at these games anyway.
Path Of Exile 2 Is A Pretty Good Game, Eh?
I just do not understand the compulsion to pretend to be good at a video game.
Now, to be clear, this isnt the same ascheatingin a game.
Theyre in the same ballpark, but not the same in terms of what Im talking about.
Cheating is a way to win.
Pretending to be good is a way to get people to think youalready won.
While I dont condone cheating, I at leastunderstandit.
People cheat at games because they like to win at games.
Other people cheat at games because they want to see the ending without much hassle.
Some people cheat at games because they like having every weapon and being invincible.
Why Lie When The Truth Is No Big Deal?
Nor is pretending to be good at a game the same as pretending to be a fan.
Path of Exile 2 is a major sequel to the hit free-to-play ARPG from Grinding Gear Games. It will add a new story in the continent of Wraeclast, new ascendancy classes, and reworked systems.
Its easy to conflate these two.
Im sure that happens sometimes.
Oh, you dont know the differences betweenSpace Marinelegions?
Looks like you are justfakingit!
Thats just the way art is.
What Im talking about here is wanting people to believe youre an expert player in a game youre not.

Its not about taking home the trophy and prize money at an event.
Or fitting in as a new fan to a series with an intense fanbase.
Its wanting to be crowned as the Emperor of Nerds without putting in that much effort.
Its wanting everyone to think that youve mastered everything when youve mastered nothing.
But its all so vapid.
Its all so hollow.
Its all so pointless.
You should run things around here!
Its also funny that its often the dumbest people who buy into this.
Being very good at one thing does not mean youre good at literally anything else.
you’re free to be a brilliant surgeon and still suck at critical reading comprehension.
Intelligence isnt an attribute that can be quantified with a single number like inD&D.
You dont need to prove youre good at everything to prove youre intelligent because thats not how thinking works.
I know people buy into this, but Im just not sure why?
Does anyone really think this dork is going to make games great again?
Especially because these aregames.
Theyre meant to beplayed.
Theyre supposed to be fun.
Some gullible people might believe it, but its still not true.
And wed all be thankful if youd stop punishing us because you have low self-esteem.
It will add a new story in the continent of Wraeclast, new ascendancy classes, and reworked systems.
