    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?

    Late 20s: You realize gaming from the couch is getting difficult because the distance to the TV is too blur without glasses

    Mid 30s: No longer able to consume infinite packets of instant ramen. In fact it kinda tastes nasty. Halo 3 at Legendary still tho.

    Early 40s: Quake 3 Arena and Half Life 2 now give you motion sickness. Can still get by Halo at Heroic.

    Late 40s: The 2ft distance to your monitor now looks blur without glasses. not getting past gold or silver in ranked Overwatch

    Mid 50s: Gonna need reading glasses to play. Clair Obscur difficulty now set to Story.

      Honestly, as long as you’re still having fun and enjoying game, I don’t see an issue here. Sure, in some areas it might have gotten difficult, but if you’re able to adjust

    Fine, my kids can beat me at Rocket League sometimes now, but they still can’t manage their duchies and bloodlines for shit in Crusader Kings.
