GURPS is a fantastic game. I've noticed many of us, fellow GURPS players, on YouTube (often during 5E videos) with a hint of 'ashamed to like it' attitude toward the game.
Don't be like that.
Be proud.
GURPS, a game that has stood the test of time, is a true classic. It may have a reputation for being math-heavy and simulation-heavy, but that's part of its charm. It's not about conforming to 5E standards, it's about embracing the unique experience that GURPS offers.
If the game were more like 5E, guess what? People would play 5E instead. This is the number one problem with many 5E clones or games that cut too close to 5E's design. Many will say, "So what, play 5E."
Let's not forget that GURPS is the pinnacle of character-building games. Character creation is a hobby, and it becomes even more enjoyable once you grasp the rules. So, let's take pride in our ability to create unique and intricate characters in this game.
But never apologize for liking something or assume people hate it; or that you must slip it in shamefully. Never feel you have to apologize for enjoying a game. We are different; every game doesn't have to conform to 5E. Unless you are stuck in the YouTube views, chase, then, sorry, you put yourself in a position to be abused by an algorithm and advertiser money, cover 5E.
Me? I like what I like.
Pride is being proud of who you are, what you like, and what games you choose.
