People do get upset with me when I talk about being bad at the games I like, and they tell me to my face that it's because "You're better than me at the game, and you keep calling yourself bad, so what does that say about me?"
And. I am better at the game than them, in the sense that 0.05 is a bigger number than 0.04. We're learning together, right? That's what I thought. I thought we were all down here at the bottom of the ladder having fun and learning
@amy I would argue that learning new information about a game as a beginner has much larger returns than it does for more experienced players, so small gaps in knowledge result in relatively significant skill jumps at the beginner level
It's not that the skill gap at beginner levels isn't significant, it's that the effort require to clear it is usually not severe
