I thank you for your welcome, and your magnanimity, and the sentiment.
Though, I’m being honest—radically honest, as some are inclined to be when pseudonymous—when I say that I’ve only “achieved” two things: I’ve lucked into better than average genes and memes, and I’ve persisted long enough to see the sun set an arbitrary number of times. I didn’t do much of anything to make my life better or to rise above my circumstances—I just ran out the clock. In a sense I’ve lived a hard life, but in no sense a difficult one. (But praise Pelor am I glad to have finally made it out that utter slog of a game tutorial—whoever designed it has no idea how pacing even works.)
