Seems like some of you are still speaking ill of me, so I guess I'll leave off with one final response. Hopefully it doesn't end up being too long though. Wouldn't want to be told I'm wasting my time writing this.

I'm really not sure why some of you are being so judgemental towards me and trying to extrapolate my entire existence through the single thing you know about me. And only moments after learning of me no less. Trying to suggest that I need to prioritize my life differently is ridiculous considering you don't know anything about me. I attended and graduated from two schools all while this project went on. I don't owe any of you a description of my life, but there's the obvious example if you want to talk about "when real life comes knocking."

Maybe it isn't clear, but I've been streaming all my attempts of this level on Twitch. I've built up a large community of friends through this, and have remained in touch with many of them daily. Some of these are people I consider to be my closest friends that I would have otherwise never met. That alone has made this journey worth it, and I will never carry any regrets with me.

Should I throw in the fact that I've accumulated thousands of dollars for doing this too? Certainly you could point out that it's not enough to make a living off of, but I'm not claiming that to be the case. This is just an enjoyable hobby of mine that I can put a couple hours towards some days. How much money have you guys made complaining about people on the internet?

So don't judge me so mindlessly. I don't know anything about any of you either, but if I were to make my assessments based off of some of you through these single interactions, I probably wouldn't have very nice things to say either.

I think that's about all I have to say. If you still don't get it, then I don't want to hear it. I won't be leaving any further responses here.

Oh look, now someone else is telling me it's unhealthy of me to.... have a hobby I enjoy putting a little bit of time towards most days. And let me just tell you, it's even been made unhealthier by the fact I've met so many supportive friends and built a community along the way! Truly horrible. Thanks for letting me know, as you guys all clearly know so much about my life based on this single article.

Nah, I'm out of here. Thanks for those of you that are able to see the bigger picture though.

@Silly_G The only reason you should feel sad for me is the fact that I constantly have to deal with narrow minded ignorant comments about me from people that choose to judge my entire life based off of a single thing they know about me.

I'm actually just a few days shy from this project being a full 5 years now, and if you spent just a brief moment thinking about it, you'd realize that works out to being not even 2 hours a day (of pursuing something I enjoy).

Although I have to wonder if you even read the article considering I very clearly mention that whether or not I complete this before the servers go down is completely irrelevant to me.

Thanks though. You encouraged me to create an account here.
