There will always be something better. Strive for quality, but don't destroy yourself by making these sorts of comparisons.

Make games to make the game in your mind exist in this world, not to be the very best, like no one ever was. Don't limit yourself, but don't crush yourself with the expectation that you'll immediately be able to outdo every other game.

Yep, I've been in the "This person half my age is making better stuff in a fraction of the time" spiral before, but you ultimately gotta stop and not worry about it, or else the game you want to make will never come to fruition.

One person's game has better graphics than yours, another has better dungeon design, another has more fluid cutscenes, and so forth.
Your question should be : What does my game do better than others?

My answer is: my game expresses me and no one else can do that

Sometimes a change in perspective can reenergize a person.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Having dealt with this myself...

1) That person feels exactly the same way about others

2) Keep doing what you were doing anyway. You're never gonna get better if you don't keep making shit!

3) Take a moment to analyze the game: what is good about it? How'd they do it? What ideas can you steal to use yourself?

4) Also spend a moment to think good thoughts about whoever made it, and be glad that they made a cool thing to put in the world. You wouldn't think it, but this is amazing at dispelling the shitty feelings.

5) What Red Nova posted.

LockeZ

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Uh. Try to actually be good at something useful too, though.

You don't need platitudes, you just need to get better.
