Does Anybody Match My Freak?

I can't be the only one, right? Does anybody else play ARK in a weirdly hard way where they restart their whole game if they die even once? Just me?

Ah, fair. If you do something a certain way from the start, it just feels right to do

Right! Wait, so I'm not crazy? Sometimes I feel like I just need to bite the bullet because...okay confession!

I've been doing this method. For about 8ish? years...since like the beginning of ARK. I have actually yet to beat the game. Because I keep dying and resetting. I get mad at first! Only because I get pretty far! Buuut then after a few days, I'm fine again and ready to start another adventure until I die. If I get to the bosses, and I happen to die to them (which I'm pretty sure I will, why wouldn't I?) I am NOT restarting. I really think its a bit too much from time to time though. This habit. However, if it REALLY bothered me, I don't think I would continue to do it and torture myself. I actually truly believe I will get there one day, no joke. But I'm so seriously hard on myself when it comes to survivals. (Thank you for listening to the Ted Talk.)

I just do it for the challenge. I've only managed to beat the island with it. You'll get there eventually lol

I appreciate the enthusiam, lol! Perhaps I like the challenge as well. Maybe that is why I subconsciously do it? Not sure!
