Without looking anything up, and ranking your position only by what games you've played before seeing this image, what tier are you?

Wait so am I supposed to just guess where I'd land based on the most obscure game I think I've played?

No, just read the chart and stop going down when there aren't any more games you've played.

Gregor, Daemon on the technicality of playing a bunch of dead MUDs during the 'rona lockdowns but it was more curiosity than for fun.

Not an oldfag per se, but definitely part of /v/ canon. He's about 28 and has run a Youtube channel where he exclusively plays games that have never had a recording uploaded to the internet at the time of the upload since about 2012 or 2011. I've talked to him several times and he's pretty cool. He'll give you a copy of any of his downloaded games if you ask; I even got the Anki deck he used to learn Japanese.

but wouldn't 4chan and other websites hate him for it? Grabbing obscure ass games and exporting it to normie sites like youtube? 4chan used to really hate it when there were people exporting their culture and I'm guessing saint's playthrough would be an example of the kind of bahavior 4chan would try to fuck him over for.
Btw by 4chan I mean 4chan before they banned raid threads

The Oldfag for me, though I might be a Gregor depending on what "/vr/ Cult Classics" are. Love King of Dragon Pass, for example. Over 200 hours in that game.

It depends. Surely even the most obscure games are "known" within their specific niche (like legacy console homebrew community). So, if I've played games that were spread in e.g. 80s-90s Finnish BBS, or created for fast compos in demoscene (make the game during the event, so 24h or so time limit, from a topic revealed at the event), then internationally they would be very obscure indeed, but I would expect many of my friends to know them also, because they consist of techy oldfags from the Nordics. Fuck, I've played games that haven't been played by anyone else but yours truly (because I made them as hobby projects but never made them available)!

But given that I have to ask, we're looking at the two of the "deepest" tiers.

Cool. Finally, we have an iceberg thread going. Ever since YouTubers found out about the place, /v/ has been infested by LE EPIC FINAL BOSS OF THE INTERWEBs whose only goal is to destroy the atmosphere and posters' sense of interconnection by shitting on literally everything that gets posted as Reddit or newfaggotry. 4chan invented iceberg charts and I shan't be derailed just because that crappy website and its YouTuber parasites exist.

I used to play a lot of HellMOO/InfernoMOO between 2011 and 2014 back when /v/ cared about those kinds of edgy games, so I guess Gregor.
Fun times.

Wow this list is garbage. You get automatic elder just by playing on a computer from 1988 or 1990 shareware. Also too many generic categories that are poorly explained, making them too broad.

Nigger these are just genres. I've dealt with multiple things in Elder tier but everything else is basically a shotgun blast across the board.

I was introduced to Glorious Trainwrecks from Bennett Foddy's blog that he hasn't updated in 4 years (https://thatsnot.fun/), and I might have played Lost in the Static, but I'd call myself "Gregor" tier, since I haven't played anything in the Daemon tier.

I used to play a lot of obscure games, but I've fallen out of the habit.
