    I have never been good in FPS when it comes to “both jump around the corner and shoot, who wins?” But i have always been good at: “Where the heck did he come from?! what is this stupid play, this is not the meta!!!” happily frustrating some tryhards. As i get older i can still enjoy that way of playing.

    It’s frustrating because I feel like my skills are actually still improving and better than they used to be but there’s always some 11 yo kid who will absolutely wreck me over and over again to the point where I just quit out of shame.

    Priorities change. Now I spend more time working on my house or riding my bike than I do gaming and that is OK. It’s fun to be casual too.

    It’s literally the opposite. Platformers, point and click, full 3d and action games.

    Wait you mean competitive multiplayer? Well turns out, being a sweaty tryhard after all is not possible for us all.

    Particularly because of meta changes, intentionally bad players (think of feeders in moba) and general hostility within a team as soon as one of these gamers show up.

    Games are supposed to be a fun pastime, most of the internet treats them as a second job, some people need to be remainded of this simple fact.

    The best part, I’ve never been competetive so I never tested myself, but sure as hell I am getting currently better at gaming.

    Mostly because I am finally fighting off a list of mental shit I picked up growing up so my mind is growing cleaner and hand is becoming more sure. xD

    I never had skills in gaming to begin with, I ain’t good at all. At best I’m OK at strategy, but even then I’m bad. Just give me the computer and let me do DnD

    Me being terrible at games now is because I am old and can’t sink the same time into it. But I beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES. Do I really need to prove myself anymore?
