"chess is too old and the metagame is already set, why bother playing"
there's an opening called the Bongcloud Attack, named after a guy on chess.com - Lenny_Bongcloud - who played said terrible opening every game. by being so bad at chess, this guy accidentally invented a new opening that now gets used as a sort of taunt; to say that you're so much better than your opponent that you can win even at such an obvious disadvantage.

my point is that you should do whatever you have fun doing; even if you're bad at it. lose at chess, paint ugly paintings, play bad music. maybe you'll get better, maybe you won't. the important part is that you're having a good time.
