Oh yeah of any game I've ever played I think like, NBA, NFL, basically any sports games I'm aware there are people who are pretty good at them and I want to be, but on top of I guess not having the patience for learning how or practicing or whatever, there's just something about them in general where I can't even figure out what I'm doing wrong usually.

I liked NBA Ballers and NBA Street long long ago but since then I haven't played one that I can really grasp for whatever reason. I have an idea it might be something about the catalog of verbs with so few buttons to correspond so they become a complex series of inputs and I don't like to look at the Input Guide Screen.

lower your sensitivity to where moving your mouse across your entire mousepad makes you turn like 90 degrees, then cs is ez

My mousepad is like 90cm across so I'd pass out from exhaustion half way into the 2nd round if I tried this.

Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.
RTS and Tower Defense. I'm so freaking bad at them. I just can't keep track of what's all going on and I panic and build stupid poo poo I don't need and then lose even faster.

Basically here is how you play 2d fighting games well:
Don't jump forward
Throw a lot

Okay, now you can be pretty good at SF2 and 3

Im good at all games OP. Sometimes this makes them unfun because they aren't a challenge.

Or sometimes it lets you take in the scenery and story more since you don't have to worry about gaming. This made Last of Us awful.

Some of the people with the most amount of time in it are the worst at the game in many ways, I've found.

steam says i have 311 hours on tf2 and i quit playing for like a month and went back and died, just died all match long

i think when you hit 30 your brain goes "all right, enough of this gay nerd poo poo" and starts killing parts of itself to make you suck at games so they stop being as fun as you remember them and before long you're playing hidden object games with your mother on your babby ipad
