Have you ever sought a job? Sometimes it's a good idea to sell yourself if you want to make it in your life. Even if you're not actually proud of yourself.

Selling yourself has nothing to do with pride.
Life is a joke made by someone with a bad sense of humor.
Wikipedia Wrote:In almost every list, pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris
(Greek), is considered the original and most serious of the seven
deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire
to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge
the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding
self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of
self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour". In Jacob
Bidermann's medievalmiracle play, Cenodoxus,
pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the
damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the
best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs to induce feelings of humility.
Is this your definition of "pride"? Because it has been obsolete since the middle ages. Now "pride" just refers to satisfaction with oneself and one's achievements.

You seem to have the definition of "pride" wrong. When a woman gives birth to a baby, she is proud of it. When TCR finishes creating AMFP (ie. their latest baby), they are proud of it. When you are done with a labour, you are proud of its outcome. Is it wrong?

Only one guy likes to bash AAA games, and his name is Googolplex
I have seen many people here agreeing with him while he was bashing AAA games.
Are you kidding me? He is the most hated person on here, that's not even an exaggeration. I seriously couldn't name you single member on here that isn't new and hasn't had much experience with him that doesn't think he's painfully stupid. In the two years I've been here I think I've seen someone agree with him a total of about 10 times
Oh also
