Non-gaming insignificant accomplishments that you're really proud of, but...other people think are stupid, lol.
So, I'm 42. I did some minor skating as a kid. Mainly transportation etc.. I got back into skating with my 8 year old with a bucket list goal of landing a kickflip. I've been going through most of the sequence taught by Skating Made Simple. I got my ollie, shove-it , 180, and my pop shove it. Basic stuff, but for my old ass, it has been hard, physically painful, and time consuming, yet really fun. Well, yesterday I landed my first kickflip. I threw my arms in the air and yelled, "yeah!".
My wife rolls her eyes, my kids ignore me as they play their videogame, and my neighbors look over like I'm an idiot, lol.
To me, this was a bad ass moment. To everyone else, it was stupid...but fuck them, lol!
So whatcha got? It would be too easy to use videogame accomplishments for this, so non-gaming accomplishments only
