Thank you S.T.E.P.

[GamerPoets]

I just wanted to give a general thank you to STEP and everyone who has contributed to it over the years. 

 

I'm slightly falling asleep but before I do I will say what I can. 

 

When I first started Modding a little more than 3 years ago STEP is the website and community that gave me the courage to do so (to tackle the unknown, to step out onto the ledge of PC gaming and to teach me that in most cases whatever I do won't make my system explode). 

 

STEP graciously took me under their wing and helped me to create some of the first high quality video tutorials on GamerPoets. They were definitely the foundation of my devotion to improving upon them even in cases where tutorials are not STEP related. Some of it's members "held my hand" in certain situations, checked my videos before I uploaded them, told me what was wrong and why it was and begun the evolution of myself as a tutorialist, modder, and a person in general. When you are forced to look at so many variables (in modding) you begin to carry that over into your own life. While I was always analytical, STEP helped me to learn to analyze the "important" things and not just the general knowledge. They are also the first community that really showed me what an online "community" can be. Nexus attempts this but fails in many places where STEP doesn't. Perhaps its because it's a smaller, more tightly knit community. I don't know, but whatever it is, it's pretty damn cool.

 

I find myself always referring back to STEP, learning new things, being able to apply them to more than just Skyrim (and since STEP offers more than just Skyrim in regards to tutorials thanks to people like EssArrBee, Kelmych, HiShutUp and others) I don't have to second guess myself in most of those situations either. Grant, DoubleYou, Z, Tech, those already mentioned, many people here have helped me and encouraged me over the years. No matter how often I come and go, no matter how much I try to do and fail temporarily or succeed momentarily STEP is always there to be an un-cracking foundation. It's appreciated and I hope that every time I mention STEP in a video or in a comment that it helps in some way. 

 

GamerPoets would not have close to 15,000 subscribers without STEP. I'd be lucky to have 2,000 fluctuating. I can't even say for sure that I would still be creating content and or enjoying modding. I definitely would not be able to create the tutorials that I create without them and their support (not just to me but to anyone and everyone in general). 

 

So Thanks = )
