Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.

Enjoy.

I jokingly wanted to say "these hands" because "they're what allow me to game" but it's probably my Switch. That thing goes everywhere with me. I'm probably never more than 100 ft away from my Switch....more
The Switch Pro Controller is the best controller Nintendo has ever made and I hope they never strays from it, despite their history saying that they will.

Maybe one of my Anbernic devices. These things are so well made and such an excellent retro emulation machine. Have put in many hours on thousands of games on this thing.
