I once came in 4th place in the world rankings on a Project Cars 2 time trial and used to regularly come in the top 5% on Gran Turismo time trials. I don’t really race on PlayStation any more though.
I was a top 1000 ranked player in R6 Siege for a while. Which sounds unimpressive to people who dont know that at one point there were about 30 million registered players.
Funny Story about that is that I decided to take a break because I was starting to take it too seriously. I was good but I wasnt going to go pro and I had a good job and a mortgage that I was putting at risk by staying up all night playing. So I actually really got into Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies for a while something easy enough to just put down and get some sleep… anyway I was at dinner with some of my wifes work friends a few weeks later and it came up that I was a gamer and one of her friends husbands asked me what I was playing and I said “Recently Angry Birds…” and before I could say anything else he turned into an absolute gatekeeping shitlord lecturing me about how that isnt real gaming and so on for about 5 minutes. Then he mentioned he played Siege… I couldnt help myself “Ive seen that, maybe I could add you on steam and try it out sometime” so a little creative account making later a few nights later I joined him in a few casual matches. I spent about 2 hours casually windmill dunking on him before I was like “Man this IS fun, but its getting late. I might head to bed, play a little AB before I crash out.”
He was at the Xmas party this year and he is still butthurt.
No, but I did dumb shit like not making easy kills when I could and doing it the hard way, only using my sidearm and still doing better than him, actually kicking it up into high gear and wiping out the whole enemy team solo…
I did feel bad for smurfing all the innocent players who were indirect victims.

What does windmill dunking mean?

Not just scoring on someone but adding a bunch of unnecessary showboating, flair and complexity while scoring to really put some emphasis on it.
Ah you played against each other?

Lmao very nice. I haven’t met anyone else IRL that is into Sim racing unfortunately.
I also took a step back into some more causal gaming but really want to get back into the racing soon.
good on ya for playing it through instead of just correcting him on the spot
