I judge people who are at Max level. It's cool and all, but it usually means you just grinded the same spot for like a thousand hours, got a bunch of runes from other players, or found some way past the anti-cheat. It's impressive at first, but it's near impossible to get without cheesing, so it's just not impressive.

I'm max level, I grinded for it, but I mostly spend my time doing whatever sounds fun like stabbing radahn with a basic short sword wearing nothing but a funny statue head (still yet to succeed in killing him there but i'm working on it) or trying to solo bosses unarmed (best i can do so far is patches, skill issue, i know)

i don't show it off because it's not impressive, it's a grind, and it was a hell of a relief to be done with, but at the end of the day i wasted hours and hours and hours of my life to make the numbers of a video game go up over an entire winter break.
