Farwell

[TenEightyOne]

I'm throwing the blue flag at you .

Not when it's for position

 

[Omnis]

Farwell, dude.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Guess I'm only the second one to notice.

edit: Slowness is contagious, it seems.

 

[Ninners]

Don't leave 'cause you're not fast. @Furinkazen has stayed for years...

👍

 

[Danny]

Cheer up, buddy.

 

[Dagger311]

I drive like a drunken monkey in gt6.

Never been depressed over it.

 

[photonrider]

I really don't know what to say. I'm not sure if I will be giving up on racing or not. Either way, I have fallen into a great depression. I'm really just tired of it all, never being fast enough to prove to myself or the real world that I'm making any real progress. I feel so pathetic. Nothing can help me now, I just don't have the talent. So, since I am in deep internal struggle and sorrow, I am leaving this site. So please, just ban me. I won't be coming back. Actually, I beg you! Please ban me! I should have been banned months ago anyway! It would be the perfect finish to the Tragedie of RyanRacer. So farwell, GTPlanet. My time here was short, but it was the best time of my life, especially since I was in glorious denial thinking I was actually fast (lolnope).

My blaze of shame

Hello @RyanRacer - if you are still around. Or have you left and not been compelled to click on this thread (let alone GTPlanet)?
Perceive, please, that many have taken notice of your notes of frustration, internal struggles, and great depression about your lack of speed on the virtual race-tracks of a driving simulator - and provided attention from light-hearted comments, no doubt intending to cheer you up, to serious heart-to-hearts that hold sound advice.

First thing - whether you may have been aware before or not - seems like people (total strangers, anonymous UserIDs, or even people you might know IRL) actually have taken the time and effort to give you some attention - irrespective of the fact that you have declared yourself 'unfit' or 'worthy' of GTPlanet (and therefore of the textual limelight you crave.)

Think about it.

It's all about 'Expectations'.

Re-form the expectations you have about Life. Examine the expectations you have about yourself. Be realistic.
Would being the 'fastest racer' on GTPlanet make you happy? Worthy? Of what? Why?

If you were to ask the guys who 'race' with me whether I'm 'fast' they'd probably fall over laughing. I'm one of the more famous 'backmarkers' on the circuit - but I'm never at a loss for people to play with.

And being at GTPlanet, fusing my love of the Gran Turismo series (and other 'racing' games I play) with sharing my experiences here only enhances the positive and social side of the experience.

If it will make you feel any better, come race with me. I won't let you win. But you might.

Cheers.
H.

I was creamed by @Ninners, @Mini Stiggy, @jammy21 and other aliens every race I've done with them. Not only am I still here, I'm not *as* bad as I used to be. You have to race with the best to become the best! So take the advice of the gentlemen and gentlewomen above me, they're absolutely right.

I'm not really an alien though. Yes I may be somewhat fast in most series I compete in but I'm not on alien level.

I'm not really an alien though. Yes I may be somewhat quick but I'm not on alien level.

To me you're on alien level. If you're not then I have no choice but to be on Maldonado level.

 

[Carbonox]

I absolutely sucked at GT6 from the start, and left the game ages ago, but I haven't disappeared anywhere from this site now, have I? The banter is too good, except when it's coming from @neljack.

 

[neljack]

GTP wouldn't exist without my banter, mate (m8)

 

[TB]

"I'm slow, but I'm wide".

Me, too!

Or are you only talking about GT6?

 

[TenEightyOne]

Me, too!

Or are you only talking about GT6?

Sadly it's pretty much general

 

[Ettick]

What does talent have to do with anything? I race because it's fun, not because I'm good at it (which I'm not).

 

[kikie]

I stopped racing because; .......... it was too lonely at the top!

 

[TenEightyOne]

Bah.

 

[Beerz]

I used to race... But then I took an arrow to the knee.

 

[Jahgee]

Listen, if you need a confidence booster, race me. Either you'll lose to me, which is expected because I am the number one racer on GTPlanet , or you'll beat me, beating the number one racer on GTPlanet Just kidding about the best part, I'm probably in the bottom 1 percentile (lol smiley)

 

[Leggy1]

GTPlanet is more than just about racing in GT6. I haven't played it for ages, or other racing games for that matter, and I don't use the GT6 forums anymore. No need to leave the whole site for good, it's a great community even if you aren't playing GT6.

This one?

 

[W3H5]

Once again @photonrider delivers awesomeness like GTP's very own Morgan Freeman.

Slow clap gif

 

[Grayfox]

I just noticed the title saying farwell.
For some reason I was reading it was farewell.

My minds Auto Correct does not work after 12am

 

[Liquid]

At least this fella isn't gloating with posts full of wangst about being a little bit quicker than other people and therefore ruining their lives.

 

[The Bman]

Last place is often where I finish in GTP racing series.

But I still race most of the time. Why? Because I enjoy it.

Keep practicing. Find a tune that works. No need to enter a downward spiral over poor finishes in a video game.

 

[RyanRacer]

I'm here, I'm still alive. I am fine. The answer is to practice longer and harder, which I know I can.

And to have fun. Because driving is fun.

 

[Chris123]

Don't mean to be a d***, but for real, you need to man the **** up bro. Try to have fun instead of placing expectations on yourself.

 

[Cobra_GT500]

So has he gone yet?

Edit: just read the above posts
