I shipped off my frankenputer of  4 year old computer parts in a new case to my niece and nephew. It cost 50 bucks for shipping, but its all good.

Did well on a physics test, despite forgetting how much force a newton was at the start of the test (its 1kg*m/s^2 btw).
After thinking about it a bit, was able to figure out what it was (since I knew it was something logical, and we were using kg and meters as our units), and am pretty sure I got 100% on the test.

God I love being clever (not just in this case, things like being able to figure out what formula you should use for a problem without being given it or forgetting it, stuff like that), figuring things out from limited information is such fun.

Skill is a product of practice.

Finally beat Chapter 28x in FE7 Hector Hard Mode. And now on to Chapter 29, where... OH GOD OH GOD WHYYYYY?

Sometimes there ain't enough practice in the world. I can't draw a decent stick figure. I hold out hopes for my daughter though. She loves to hear me tell her that she's already a better artist than I am.

Sometimes. A quadruple amputee cannot juggle to the same degree as a person with four limbs. Some of us don't get better no matter how much we practice. Years and years of attempts at producing art...

Best I've managed is zen tangles. Hurry up, genetic engineering! Don't curse people with whatever the hell people like me get stuck with.

Pretty much this. You know the things you can do and the things you can't do. I couldn't make something acceptable out of a brush in a decade and more, but give me a type writer and some inspiration ~oooohhyyessssss~

[The Darkling Wolf]

Yeah, I can practice as much as I want, Dyspraxia means I don't have the fine motor control required for anything artistic, or tying my shoelaces, or walking in a straight line without falling over.

Good luck in Genesis.

[RedWarrior0]

The limit of my drawing capability is pretty low, based off of ~8 games of drawception.

Some people, though... (doubles as a happy for today/yesterday)

Genesis was near the twenties, I think. Definitely beat it, since I have Hawkeye (and I've been making sure to get all the gaiden chapters... 19x was a pain in the ass). I started this runthrough a while ago, ragequit several times, and only picked it up again yesterday for lack of something to do.

[kaijyuu]

Well yeah there's something called "talent" too, but meh.

[Frumple]

Not so much talent, per se, as just... caps. Upper limits. Most are blessed so that practice meaningfully expands those. Some of us... aren't. Can't draw a straight line with a ruler (Good five years trying! Just for that. No bloody luck.), etc., so forth, so on.

Fortunately, I can do zen tangles. Those don't require lines. Frankly, in terms of artistic capability, they basically require nothing. Beyond maybe the ability to actually get a drawing utensil onto a medium. And I like zen tangles. Especially the particularly dense ones that are vaguely hypnotic to look at.

One day, I will paint my car with a full body tangle pattern. Hopefully no one's been silly enough to do it and thus there aren't any laws against it. Also hoping it won't cause wrecks. (If I do it right, there's good odds it'll cause wrecks. Might have to pull things back, but...)

[RedKing]

Yup. In game terms, my ART stat potential is 04 on a 01-100 scale.
So I didn't waste any more development points on it in childhood. I made a "what the hell, I have a point left over" investment in it around lvl 3, but failed my rolls on Ceramics and Calligraphy.
