    You're a bit extreme in your comparison here

    When i'm able to clear a dungeon, properly first run while doing something else besides, i think it's ok to criticize it being the new '' Expert ''

    I never have understood why that portrait painting is such a big deal.

    Basically it was in French royalty's art collection, they loved it, and added got it sent along a path that eventually put in the Louvre, where it came to be a landmark in art history. The perspective the woman is drawn in is said to be a novel concept for portraits at the time, but there were obviously other artworks that used it.

    So simply put, it had an in road to get famous because of being a possession of royalty, and this leg-up lead to it being in a feedback loop of, "It's famous, because it's famous."

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
