I get kinda sad looking at other people's maps. Because I haven't fiddled in RMXP in so long, I lose sight of how much time and practise I actually have with mapping; that alters my view of "newbies" because I mistake myself as a "newbie" because of the gap between this project and my last one lol so I tend to judge actual "newbie" maps a bit harsher, since subconsciously I figure newbie "newbies" and "newbie" me are on-par with one another, when we're really not lol They have maybe a dozen hours experience, if that, with the program, while I have spent over 150h in the last couple years on uncompleted projects (generally due to data corruption or forgetting to transfer the right files over before reformatting my PC).
Empty maps are icky, though. RMXP teaches you that clutter is good lol
