The other guy looks really depressed. Just because you've leveled up it doesn't necessarily mean you spent the points well.

Anyone lower lvl than you is a noob. Anyone higher lvl than you has no life.

Life is a grind
squiretim
Makes you think where you're at. You know, consciously. In the universe. Maybe it means sleepless nights for hedge fund managers? Or death?

EXP doesn't always mean good EXP. I'd be in the thousands on depression alone, got lots of EXP with that.. -_-
Illinifan88
I was just thinking a company like Uber should totally have achievements and stuff for their drivers.
YourFriendlyNeighborhoodWizard
This is what it feels like hopping onto an MMO and hitting the level cap for the first time. Realizing the journey has just begun.

I wish we could crit while doing things - make an extra pb+j or this pb+j is a higher level, it will keep you full longer

Somehow I seem to roll all my crits making spaghetti then. How is it always enough to feed a small army?

There's an app for that, isn't there? Gives you XP for doing daily chores and then you level up accordingly?
FwdSlashRoot
I'm no app developer but I can do web development. I might make such a thing

ShootYourGooMyDude
Even without exp bars/lvls, life can suck when you compare yourself to your peers. That's why I can't go on FB anymore.
Valfheim
I don't get how I'm expected to be okay with everyone having things that are hopeless fantasies compared to what i will ever get. 1/2
Valfheim
Comparing yourself to others might make your life suck, but only because life sucks pretty damn hard anyway. 2/2
dan10026
It would be interesting to see the do difference between like a child soldier in Africa and a kid from a nice suburb in the US, on one hand
dan10026
The child soldier would have more kills, but on the other hand the American kid would have completed more objectives, like learning algebra
KeeleonOhms
Skills are more important than raw stats.
talenphillips
(non-trivial) Achievement messages would be interesting. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Got Married! vs. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: 10 Kills!

Never said the experiences has to be good ones
alex9084
Is dude depressed cuz he threw all his money down the well?
MightyMayhem
My favorite part is how the experienced badass looks worn down. Doing awesome things takes WORK.
iamamitten
Yeah, it does take work. I'm working, slowly, on getting the platinum trophy for Star Ocean 4 and MY GOD
Cryptods137
Or maybe having 5000 xp is average.
tarataqa
That is why most old people look so worn down.
Mumalot
DoingAwesomeStuff, TakesAwayFromThe "stuff I haven't done yet". Which makes life seem more boring when there's less unique-experiences ahead
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
this is actually why time moves faster as you age
NerdN1
In a lot of those games, you get xp from killing enemies. That's a lot of PTSD.
TylerWarranty
And quest completion, exploration exp bonus. Could theoretically play to a high level with 0 kills
SuckItBlue
Exp from hardship? Probably a homeless vet, suicidal from ptsd. Now I'm sad.
pezlex
Now I'm sad
eetsumkaus
that, or he's a Lvl 4979 underwater basket weaver
AladdinTrollface
Also that doing a lot of stuff does not always equate to happiness
tarataqa
e.g. Robin Williams
AladdinTrollface
Still makes me sad to think about that...
Error404TrollNotFound
He said he was only happy when he was making other people happy, so for robin, the thing that made him happy was staying busy
Error404TrollNotFound
He would get depressed when he wasnt performing
Koshunae
Also e.g. Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington

His experience must have involved midget strippers, looks soo disappointed....
Whopraysforthedevil
Hey man, midgets need love too

Yeah, we need experience in categories. I suck at one thing, but I'm a darn fine... um... well I... I pay my bills on time.

That's the look of a man who's had to kill. A lot

Too real when it comes to gaming. 10k+ hrs in ofp/arma. I enjoy watching it, but I get too frustrated playing it nowadays. Expect too much.
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Same with For Honor, it was great in the beta and season one but now its all ledge kills and 3v1's no one wants a good fight anymore
SuperiorPosterior
I agree, but even in the Beta there were assholes who would rather ruin your fun than have a fun game for everyone.
insongwhang
EVE online from 2007. This might be the year I logged in for the last time.
questionableanswers
main from 2009, alt from 2012. I kept playing on and off until mid 2014, but I'm just a carebear doing L4s and mining every now and then :)
misterwit
Never found a game like it though. Been out of Eve for 3 years and I still think about it.
insongwhang
Best damn times! Made good friends, some lovely enemies and had drunken fleets that I couldn't remember the day after. o7
TheManInTheWall
I wish this happens with learning a new skill though. I want to try and learn guitar but lack the patience to practise without seein any 1/2
repoocelad
Make a list and learn easy songs that you like, keep adding to that list, try one that is a bit harder, add to the list, repeat.
RogueEwok
Have you tried Rocksmith?
TheManInTheWall
Sorry guys i may have confused you. I dont have any idea how to play guitar and dont own one either. I would just like to learn how to play
Riyakou
I'm going to write the notes on the frets of my guitar so I remember which is which.
MLBFAN36
I hope it's not an expensive guitar haha
Riyakou
Actually, it is a Stratocaster lol (Fender Squier Standard Stratocaster). It's just not the really good one.
Riyakou
Fender Squier, $280. It's good, but it's no Stratocaster. There's no loss in writing on it.
MLBFAN36
Squier's are great beginners guitars though. Good luck in your playing! Keep at it and you'll love it
PixelSprite64
Rocksmith https://youtu.be/JDQ_U3lukAQ Its even on Steam
infernopg
hmmm that is far too "commercially" but i'm gonna check out other reviews since i'm learning guitar too atm
AWanderingFlame
Rocksmith 2014 is love
PaintedSlate
I'd estimate we're about 15-25 years from reliable, automatic, meaningful XP trackers for supporting motivation. 5-10 years for basic ones.
PaintedSlate
The basic ones will focus entirely on physical activity where they work well enough. The rest relies on AI perception/concept improvements.
aPokal
Ain't getting a diploma that in basic?
PaintedSlate
Getting a diploma is not automatic based on actual content mastery or immediate performance.
aPokal
Won't this be either. Our skills are not exact, but float. They decay, at some age (and health issues) even if used.
chingchong1
Video tape yourself playing a song. Then record and compare after hours practiced
Arceus
Did the sams with masturbation.
HorribleMonster
Actually, you should record and compare the day after. Most of the actual gain comes overnight, when the experiences are processed.
HorribleMonster
You've probably noticed it before, struggling with something all day and getting nowhere. Sleep. Next day, solve problem instantly.
chingchong1
Your totally right. It'll be even more dramatic if they wait even days too.
TheManInTheWall
Significant progress
ArtArchive
It's hard, but you've gotta practice with disinterest in being 'good'. If you can practice a lot without thinking about it, you'll get good.
MLBFAN36
Stick with it. I tried learning several times before I finally made my up mind to stick with it. Been playing for 3 years now
nohar
I would advise you to change the way you practice, and try to have fun with your guitar above all. Then it won't be about patience anymore.
McMasterx
But if there was a progress bar, that would imply there's a Limit to what you can accomplish.
damspam
Film yourself practicing every two weeks. Then compare your most recent practice to your first video, you'll see the difference clear as day
infernopg
1 https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/online-lessons/day-1-10-day-guitar-starter-course/ i've done these and they are amazing and free. By day 5
infernopg
2 it sounds like actual music and it takes about 1hour a day if you want to seriously try, which for 10 days shouldn't be too hard
danbrazier
Join/start a band! You can do it!
TheManInTheWall
I may have made it sound like i have guitar experience. I have no idea whatsoever how to play one. I dont own one either
danbrazier
Haha. Well, if you get hold of one a d want some pointers, let me know.
TheManInTheWall
Ok cool
breadbench123
Follow guitar lessons with a real person, not online
CyanideSprite
Nah, it depends on your learning style. Some learn through extrapolation by mimicry and pausing and rewinding is an invaluable tool for that
TheManInTheWall
More expensive though isnt it?
breadbench123
You can't have a pony
Liquidditch
So is a good meal vs mcdonalds. Doing things of substance cost money. Its a skill easy to learn, impossible to master, but its soo worth it.
TheManInTheWall
I dont have any money though
DetectiveClues
Try learning a song that you really love. It might seem too hard and take some time but once you know you can do it, you keep coming back
DetectiveClues
Taught myself to play bohemian rhapsody on the piano as my first song. Way above my skill but once I knew it I felt I could learn any song.
DetectiveClues
Also, Youtube is the best substitute for an in-person teacher. Took guitar in person and wasn't into it but learned piano online and love it
MLBFAN36
Accurate. My first guitar solo was Stairway to Heaven. Crazy hard at the time, took me a month to learn it with an hour of practice a day,
MLBFAN36
but once I had it down, I felt on top of the world.
