Transcript

Being the 2nd best gamer in the friend group is the worst position you could be in. You're good enough to know that everyone else is trash, but there's one person you can't talk trash to. I could not imagine role-playing as Vegeta in the party. The second best gamer is basically the emergency services of the friend group. Everybody thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread until the best player gets on. Now all of a sudden, nobody remembers what you've done for this organization. Role-playing Luigi in the party means that you can be carrying your entire friend group for 13 games straight. As soon as the best player hops on, it's oh my god, bro, you're finally on. Like, you didn't put the team on your back for the last three hours against everyone else. You're him. But against him, you're everyone else. It's okay. You're like the Sasuke or Zorro of the friend group. You're fully capable, you're just not the best.
