What? I don’t find that at all.

People are too stressed and exhausted to live at a basic level, that tends to impact their ability to game although sometimes it makes them even more competitive with the small amount of time they have… but no I don’t agree at all.

I am far better at video games than I used to be, admittedly I play a lot of them but that only makes my hand eye coordination locked in, the actually “being good” at games has little to do with that most of the time.

Have to relate to this somewhat, it’s hard to find time or interest to practice fighting games with all the accumulated responsibilities of being responsible adult and a parent. While boomer reaction time checks are one thing, the bigger problem is having to practice against multiple different matchups in 3-4 different games. Probably should play these online a lot more, currently mostly playing on locals few hours once a week.

Not only that but my shit talking is unmatched!

HiTekRedNek, do games w I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game

Winwar 2 was based on a dos version of it, btw. I played it all the time with some friends back in the early 1990s.

Lembot_0004,

Yes, actually, but the difference between versions was huge. Almost different games. I reference to version 3.0

Or maybe ya’ll are have been so full of hubris and are now finally getting wiser with age and start to recognize that you were always shit or average at best.

ameancow,

It’s entirely demographical.

I was unemployed for a while when private equity butchered the company I was manager at, at some point I spent about a week playing as dedicatedly as some of the younglings and I got really good, really fast, but the moment I had to get back to the grind I fell off again.

You simply cannot compete with kids who’s primary concern in life is if their mom will keep paying for their ChatGTP subscription to do their homework for them when you have bills and family and medical procedures and loans and thousands of ropes of responsibility pulling you in different directions. You simply will not compete with people who can play several hours a day when you only get weekend nights, when you’re already exhausted and just want to sleep anyway.

Just play different games. Sure the kids may have fast reflexes but they don’t have the wisdom to commit the number of warcrimes that an older gamer can in Rimworld.

Deconceptualist, do games w Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2

I’m actually inclined to believe this somewhat, for the simple fact that Krafton could be legally liable for slander if the statements are untrue.

Also, did we know previously that 90% of that $250M was allocated to the three executives? That’s a bit shocking to me. If Krafton really wanted to create goodwill, they could say that money remains on the table but would be 100% allocated to the rest of the development team now instead.

It's not me who changed. It's the esports driven fast twitch game style that has. I should probably try out my backlog of rainbow six games.

The vast majority of games are overrated anyhow. They aren’t really putting out anything new nowadays, just using the same tired old concepts over and over again.

cook_pass_babtridge, do gaming w Beware games like this

When I see reviews like this, I assume they’ve just played the game too much. Nothing stays fun after 30k hours, go and do something else!

MFW: you have given up PvP in favor of single player and PvE games as that live service treadmill and toxicity are too much now

ameancow,

I don’t care about toxic players and I never spend a dime on any live services… my chief issue is that I have to work for a living and online game matchmaking mix me with people (children) who’s primary stressor in life is trying to print out homework that doesn’t look like ChatGTP wrote it.

otp,

skill issue

Mustakrakish,

For me its more of a return to the fold.

I just never did PvP in the first place.

I was excited when Sony finally announced it for PC, and well, it was worth the ten years wait and full price for me!

It can be fun if you ignore the breeding and dinosaur related stuff

ArmoredThirteen, do games w Day 359 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I keep my feed on top 6 hours so don’t always see your posts. Every time I do though it makes me happy and feel grounded. I had a different account earlier but I remember when you first started and these have been a regular part of my online experience ever since

late 30’s and I’ll still whoop your ass at Street Fighter 6 or The Finals
