Leveling Up

How do you get better if the people ahead of you don’t want to share their tips and tricks or even compete against you? How do you know where you stand if you never have a yardstick to measure yourself against? If all you have are your own accomplishments? You have yourself, you have your accomplishments and you have what’s next on your growth path. You don’t need to try racing against a Formula F1 Driver to see how you’d compare in your car (probably not that well) but you could just as easily draw the line of comparison between

No, one it would be costly, two it would probably be a bit boring (let’s be honest), as you force yourself through all these old games and consoles. Then why do this with a new project? The beauty
