Nah. Most of the time I just get good with no real effort, just like in real life. It's funny to play with people, who have thousands of hours, but I'm still better or at least on par with them, even tho I have like <50 hours played.

I even got into a med school on my first try with no real effort, when other people spend years trying to get inside :^). At first I thought about engineering, but that shit doesn't pay well and is full of autists.

Life's unfair, isn't it?

>>377599797
Of course someone who doesn't try would actually think people just have magic talent rather than a better aptitude for learning.

>>377599797
If you're talented at something you gain skill quicker in that field and have a higher ceiling than others, you couldn't just start on a whim and be as good as someone who's practiced in that field.

i suck at vidya
it hurts to admit it but i just suck
I never once had fun in a multi-player game because I always felt like people on the opposite team were just better than me, whenever I win it's just obvious that my teammates carried me and I had no value to the team.
I tried shooters, MOBAs, Fighting Games, Grand Strategy, I always end up getting my ass handed to me by the lowest skill level goons in the online matchmaking.

I never really thought about it but maybe there's actually something wrong with me, I've been playing online games for like, 10 years, and never got good in one of them even once.

I can beat some of the harder single player games, but at multi player I suck balls.

There's absolutely no magical loss or ability at 24. You're just far more stressed and are far more tired from work/school and something bad is always on the back or your mind so you can't concentrate like you used to

```Talent``` is just a different name for either a) being good at learning things efficiently and always being critical of your own work, or b) having several years of learning behind you that didn't feel like practice because you did it for fun and not explicitly to practice.

I can pick up essentially any game and get extremely good at it in a very short time, but that's only because I've spent 80% of my life regularly playing video games.

Depends on your values. Some people value money, so skills that can make them money are useful to them. Some people value making a positive impact in the world, so skills that help other people are useful to them. Not really sure what values you'd need to have to make vidya useful. At best you can be completely nihilistic and say that nothing is useful, so vidya is no less worthwhile than anything else.

I'm pretty sure your reflexes and general attentiveness do deteriorate as you age, and someone who is 28 like me will not be as twitchy as someone who is 16. The difference might be negligible anywhere else, but in videogames where fractions of seconds can decide who gets shot first, it matters.

Is talent actually real? I'm doubtful.

Kinda, but that's because I like the process of exploring game mechanics. It may be weird, but I enjoy stuff like training mode in fighting games, or free building in RTS games, where I can look at all the available tools. For that reason I absolutely love The Last Remnant, that game is so full of hidden mechanics you play for hundreds of hours and you'll still be finding new things in it.
Only tedious kind of training I do is in WoW. As DPS class I spend long time at the mannequins trying out various builds and equipment to maximize my damage, because I don't want to let my guild down with bad performance.

But that's completely subjective. If someone finds vidya useful, because of hedonistic reasons, then it isn't useless or wrong. If something so simple gives you pleasure, then shouldn't you do it? Assuming doing "it" doesn't consume your life and make you even more miserable in the end.

Except that being good at vidya doesn't make it more pleasurable. It's almost the exact opposite. When you train, you have to be disciplined and keep at it even when you're not having fun, and when you finally git gud, the game gets boring because it can't challenge you anymore.

The way I see it, we are born blank, but every little thing that we experience leaves some sort of imprint on us. From the very moment a human is born he absorbs information around him, which forms his mind processes and ways of thinking that may give him advantage in specific fields. And this is what creates perceived talent: a person whose mind was formed in a way that gives him advantage in something that he didn't intentionally pursue.

Making comics about how happy you are about your wonderful life is only going to be relatable for the kinds of people who don't need distractions like webcomics to get them through the day.

So if you want to make comics that your audience can relate to, it needs to be about stress, depression, procrastination, loneliness, self-doubt, low self-esteem, etc. Anything negative that most people experience.

Either that or actually be funny. But there are no legitimately funny people making webcomics.

Don't do that. All he does is draw comics about how miserable he is with exaggerated funny faces.

you can still be born with better hand-eye coordination, reaction time, decision making/critical thinking, creativity, spatial awareness, multi-tasking, pattern recognition, etc.

Even if you're talented, you still need to work hard. Everyone is talented at something, but to achieve growth, there is no way around work.

You can be talented at drawing and sports or whatever all you want, if you don't do it you dun goofed.

Image in OP is made by an envious lazy person, because it's always easier to blame others, instead of himself. He should see those talents as guidance and teachers instead, he would achieve greater work, i bet you.

I've read that thanks to shitty circumstances early 20th centure jewish people were forced into making a good work ethic and that made them force their kids into work ethic which made their kids into successful lawyers and doctors.

Basically every situation can be turned around, every story can be turned into something that is positive for the individual. "Everything happens for a reason" is legit because everything is a story and there are different stories and you can turn whatever the fuck into whatever the fuck.

tl;dr yes from one perspective paula's situation is truly shit but the beauty of humans is that when we become self-aware we can look at stuff from different perspective and finding a perspective that works for them is a duty that every individual owes themselves.

I agree that hard work is extremely important but you are denying the role talent plays. This graph is dumb. Talent isn't a card that says you start 20 spaces ahead, it's getting three extra dice to roll with. Talent allows you to progress faster and easier than your rivals and reach certain heights others may not be capable of. In almost anything, in terms of being best of the best (or close to it), talent is the decider.

In terms of being good (or even great) at something, it's hard work, but once you start talking about perfection and being the best talent alone will make the difference.

There is no such thing as talent.

>>377604413
Just because I'm discussing this doesn't mean I'm hating on anyone or not working on myself.

I think it's important to acknowledge that talent and luck are very important factors (even more, in many fields) because otherwise it feeds into the idea that people have total control over their lives and that everything that happens to people is their fault 100% of the time.

>>377604235
>people are more concerned with fictional monsters designed for children than the lives and identities of their peers
not a very compelling argument there, champ

>>377604264
That's not really what I was arguing for though
Striving for perfection is a whole other beast than striving to improve yourself.
The comic portrays Owltard thinking himself impressive for reaching a level of competency that isn't hard for some with talent to reach, so he blames his lack thereof instead of trying to go beyond his peak, which is comparatively low and amateurish.
Were he to apply himself and quit beating himself with a wet rag instead of breaking himself over the wheel, maybe he's be able to see that talent isn't as huge a matter as he seems to think.

Like I said, I don't think you're doing that but this is the very real argument many people use to justify why they suck a bag of cocks when they see someone better. Also yes, luck and talent do have factors in someones life but to pretend most people can't change their lives, skill levels, and betterment in life within the first world is preposterous. Most people can become successful through hard work and as such you should also be mindful to not give snowflakes and lazy individuals grounds to complain about talent. It is a nuanced street and there are arguments for both sides and I hope you realize that.

While the comic is right about things adding up, there is no point in blaming Richard Rich for it. Only a retarded person would turn down a job because "I didn't work hard for it".
All these comics come of as trying to get Richard down instead of trying to push Paula up. I'm poor, my family is poor, I'm working hard to finish college. I know what Paula is going through. But I don't blame Richard for being lucky. That's how life works and will always work unless we magically get a working communist system which won't happen.

Instead of worrying about talent and hard work think of the ways how to make hard work less hard.

Like don't hate on yourself for being shit, treat exploring stuff as challenges and not as evidence of you being shit, use pomadoro technique and reward yourself with small treats, concentrate on what you are curious in the area of attempting mastery right now instead of forcing the aspect of it you are not super interesting right now, break what you have to do in smaller parts so that you gain dophamine boosts more often, also start with small achievable goals to get your day going etc. etc. Also as a sidenote watch educational vids on x1,5-2, usually aside from obvious time cut makes them more engaging

Why not? If most people aren't that interested in some aspect of your identity, chances are it's not all that important and you're just focusing too much on it. If I chatted a lot about my identity to everyone I met, only to learn later that no one cared enough to remember all the details, it would be quite reasonably of me to assume that all those details aren't very interesting, not that everyone else are interested in the wrong things. Hell, maybe they are, but I'd get nowhere with that worldview. People would assume I'm a sperg.

here's the comic in question by the way

For once, it's actually better.

This is what people actually believe after having played a game for 100 hours, getting their asses ravaged by people who have played for 1000 hours

There is no innate "talent" that magically makes you get to know the maps in a shooter, how to position yourself smartly, which weapons to choose, there is no magic talent that automatically ingraines street fighter combos into your muscle memory and tells you when to wakeup reversal and when not to, no talent that makes you know which are strong item builds and skill orders depending on the situation in a moba. It's practice, practice, practice putting yourself into the situations again and again and again until it sticks, and the more you do it, the larger your pool of knowledge to draw from grows. And that's all there is to it.

Makes me wonder how often talents go unnoticed. You could be the greatest cocksucker of all time, but you'd take your talent with you to your grave without knowing about it if you never try to suck a cock.

Yes, he changed his name to Thompson Yorkshire and time traveled back to 1993 and started a band. I caught it all on video for you.

how you ask?
>dad was in film business and immediately after finishing college he went straight into working on sets, he told me he bypassed a waiting list that was years long full of people who had been waiting for this job opening for years and he got it right away after finishing the course, he only took the course so he can at least tell people he has experience
Its not even about how hard you work or talent, its about luck. Meeting the right person while walking your dog and that dog takes a shit which makes you pause for a minute and you run into them can change your entire life. Someone who works hard and is genuinely good at whatever they do can be unsuccessful simply by not knowing the right people or being in the right place at the right time. Life is a fuck.

who /intelligent but shitty work morale/ here

Is there a single webcomic that tries to be funny without it being nothing but passive aggressive remarks at himself/others/his feelings?

It makes me wonder how often fetishes get unnoticed. women practically never wear skirt in my country and the concept of ZR doesnt exist. If it wasnt for animu I would never have known the wonders of thighhigh socks+short skirts. Loads of people have a fetish for pantyhoses. But nylons were only invented around the 50s-60s. Many generations of men have died without knowing nylons existed, much less it did things to their dick they never knew. What if I miss out of my biggest fetish since the object my dick longs for hasnt been discovered/invented yet? It is truly a terrifying thought

the best i have seen in a while, congrats

Cocksucking doesn't have a skillset that is shared with other disciplines, so what I've found is that unlike most things, it's mostly based on practice.
I think that "talent" is just you having a headstart at some of the fundamental skills required for the task at hand because you practiced them somewhere else, when you get to the basics, there's actually a good amount of crossover skills amongsts similar disciplines like sports or musical performances.

Cocksucking doesn't, moving your tongue to please another man isn't really a popular skill, shared by many disciplines.

It's funny because it shows a modicum of self reflection

Connections are insanely important, it's almost impossible to get a work in the vast majority of businesses unless you already know someone working there who can vouch for you.
One of the better ways to get around this if you don't have the social skills to just show up at a job opening and advertise yourself is to study something that includes a period of practical practice work, that's how I got my current job after a month of work without pay. Just show you are making an effort and you'll instantly have a foot through the door.

I know your feel. While it might be easy to look for something to blame, I honestly say that computers have rotten me, and because of the instant gratification of shitposting and browsing all day long I can't seem to focus on long term endeavours.
