      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.

    Leaving good comments that aren’t polarizing and don’t hurt sensitive feelings since my take on something doesn’t match your take.

    Just about anything creative: music, art, writing. It doesn’t stop me from trying, but it’s clear the creative vision or raw talent that some others have is missing.

    Vidya games!

    Specifically, any games requiring “twitch” reflexes. I love ‘em, but I do not have the genetic material to master them.

      I was the opposite, hated games that required patience, now I’m like you, I used to full focus play games, now I multitask and watch tv, wonder if that changed it

      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.

        Yeah… 60/70 like it’s nothing? That’s nearly pro level. I play with a friend, he sucks just a tiny bit less than I do 🤣

    Music.

    I’m a shitty musician, but I love it. Guitar, keyboard, clarinet, I love playing.

      Same, got Rocksmith and a couple bass guitars. Love it, but even after five years I’m not willing to try playing in front of anyone.

        There are several tracks of learning musical instruments, at least the way I see it. Learn to play other people’s stuff for fun solo, compose and record your own stuff, or jam with a group of buddies.

        I’ll be honest I never got into playing other people’s music but composed in the past. That was nice because you had absolute control but it also limited the creative input and stunted my own growth in music theory that becomes a must when jamming.

        This past year I’ve played more than maybe my entire life with jamming with family. It has been by far the most fun. We just make up our own simple shit and grow together.

          Oh I want to play with my family, it’s just that the bastards are all musicians who have been playing for 40 years.

            Then they should be able to accelerate your learning! My sis never played until this year and she’s kicking ass on bass! It’s a drudge for a bit though, no doubt.

      I also have RockSmith and a bass guitar. However, for 3 years I have been playing in local groups (the last year has been a community open mic where up to a dozen musicians sit around and strum together) and having a lot of fun. The thing is that these are almost all elderly people, self-taught, so they are not trying to become rock stars, just to enjoy playing music together. Playing music I have never heard before has been very good for developing my ear.

      I go through periods of playing RockSmith a lot, and then not playing it at all for several months. Discovering user-created tracks that can be added as DLC has been fantastic.
