    Dota.

    I was literally 1 MMR after starting. At my peak I was slightly above the average player. Now I am average. Years later.

    I am generally pretty good with the games I invest time into. Not this one.

    pretty much everything i do.

    I’m an amateur at most things, don’t have the time/money/energy to become an expert in anything really. But I like trying new stuff all the time. I’ve learned 6 different foreign languages, but am fluent in none of them, for example.

    Disc golf

    I don’t have the power or accuracy to score well nor the time to invest in improving. I do love the time walking through the woods with family and friends sharing the experience as we goof around.

      Snooker is so ridiculously difficult. If I knock in a 9 break (red, black, red) I am so proud of myself. And yet I have played against guys who will knock in a 60 or 70 like it’s nothing.

      Ah yup. I’m pretty good at the single player games that I play, but whenever my buddies want to do any kind of matchmaking, it’s some of the best fun I have being absolutely awful at something. Consistently at the bottom of the squad and loving it, baby

      no shame in switching to easy. I personally don’t have the time to “git good” but I do enjoy me a good story

        Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is where I caved and set it on easy. Don’t got all day to memorize a bajillion attack patterns down to the tenth of a second but shieet… that story is a banger.

      Same. I don’t like playing RTS games the good way. I just like building a cozy little camp and defending it, slowly exploring the map and just building whatever units I feel like building. I enjoy games like Age of Empires and Beyond All Reason because the maps tend to be quite large and random. It usually takes a while before I get overwhelmed if I’m losing I those games, and if I’m winning I can spend a lot of time just messing around without the game being over.

      Games like Starcraft or Warcraft seem to be built too much for quick games where you have to be constantly moving. Expansion locations are very determined and scarce and resources run out way too fast to just turtle in my little corner.

        +1 for Beyond All Reason :)

        So far I’ve only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.
