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.)
Welcome! And congratulations on your achievements, which I’m sure you are more responsible for than modesty would allow you to acknowledge.
