Yo, most ex pros agree that I am the greatest video game player who ever lived, #1 in basically every single video game I played in the world. I just missed tourneys. I have proof before you think your fellow Christian brother is a liar(some links where Blizzard personally shouted me out in an era when they were cool and not discriminatory): https://www.crystalfighter.com/achieve/starcraft/achieve.html
The only way this happens is if God himself is blessing me. I have blessings similar to Solomon had for wisdom in intelligence. This is a boast on God. Kasperov got elected in Russian government because everyone knew chess players are smart… Today people agree Starcraft is far more mentally intense than chess.
I was #1 in the world at Starcraft for every race in 1998 and Broodwar in 1999.
#1 World Warcraft3 200-0 #1 1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4 first to 1500 wins, and did it as Random.
#1 World Diablo 2 HC
Top 50 world: C&C3
Top 50 world: SC2 2v2I was rocketing to #1 in both those like 70% win rates+, but they were extremely poorly designed and I didn’t want to give them the honor of having me be #1 in the world at them.
Someone told me that I was #1 Pittsburgh 1989 Nintendo World Championships non Turtle Tip score. I did qualify as #1 in my division.
Now I’m playing some League of Legends. Want on my team, friend up GoodNewsJim NA server. We flex 5.
I found out God was real by miracles in 2003 after graduating Carnegie Mellon for Computer Science and Physics: www.goodnewsjim.com Read some of the miracles I experienced in my life. I experienced well over 100,000. I’m here to tell you to have faith in love even if things go bad.
You’ll have times like Joseph where your family betrays you. Last year, it all fell out after my Gran passed away. One side of my family had inheritance greed, other side thought it was time for tough love and not show compassion… I had dozens of people I thought were there for me, nah. Jesus is always there for us though. Praise Jesus even in tough times.
You’ll have times like Job. I got health conditions from all the moving and unstable living of the past 13 months. Diabetes/kidney disease, trouble sleeping, outrageous stress, cycles of wanting to sleep but diabetes doing neuropathy so I had to exercise for 8 hours straight sometimes up and down. Hospital 40 times in one year, docs not entirely sure… But I beat it with potassium and more meditative lifestyle… I’m a lifelong try hard, only way you clock 150,000 hours coding/design/programming and have these achievements. But trying hard literally was killing me… So I had to let go and ask Jesus to get me through… I’m still asking him today and I have faith. Praise Jesus that he’s always there for us. Praise Jesus even in tough times.
Moving will make you broke, driving to hospital double so. I’m running multiple jobs while trying to crank out a white whale mmorpg( www.starfightergeneral.com ). My finish line keeps being denied by other projects and other people’s problems while I fight my battle. And this is fine. Praise Jesus.
Anyone like making games? I make lots of games. You could be on my team. Make a comment here.
You’ll have days like David where you’re on the run from people who should love you. You may have days like Jesus where it seems you’re a homeless wanderer and helping people. Jesus had it way worse though. People will look down on you as not wise or smart because you’re not rich. You’ll want to rest and pray but be interrupted by other people’s emergencies like Jesus when he had to feed the 5000 though he just wanted to be with The Father. The stuff that happened in the Bible will often play out in your life analogously especially if you walk in the spirit. And the spirit can give joy, but even if you suffer for following Jesus it is worth it, for your joy is deferred to Heaven where it becomes amplified.
Press on fellow Christian bros, I know for a fact, not believe, not have to hope he exists. I literally know God exists. Jesus guides me directly in life, and awesome stuff like dude perfect happens around me just because I pray. Battles I should never win are won. Battles I don’t need to win are lost to test my faith. I’m okay with that for Jesus won the war. In all things praise Jesus. Have faith guys! Nothing is impossible for those with love in our hearts and we live forever.
Psalm 46:46 God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.2 So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths;3 even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence.
4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High.5 God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid.6 Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done. See what amazing things he has done on earth.9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows, destroys spears, and sets shields on fire.10 “Stop fighting,” he says, “and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme over the world.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
