I suck at video games
I feel kind of stupid saying this in a sub where people are venting about serious issues like abuse or death but I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to about this without feeling like a whining loser…
To put it bluntly, I(18) suck at video games.
I played some games growing up but never any super difficult or hard ones. Mostly games like pokemon or animal crossing, stuff that’s easy enough for all ages, some shooters like apex or Fortnite here or there, and gachas which are really more of a time and wallet investment.
Recently I got a job that pays pretty well so I invested in a nice pc to finally play all the games I’ve been missing out on only to find out… I still suck.
I can’t aim for shit no matter how much I practice, I always end up playing support because I know otherwise I’m getting yelled at.
But it’s not just comp games either. I started playing hollow knight because my friend recommended it to me and i have been really enjoying it, I think the art and gameplay are really cool. I finally got past hornet after like 20 attempts and I was really proud, so I sent the clip to my other friend who also likes hollow knight and she said “really? It only took me one try… and that was years ago”. It just completely sucked the happiness and fun out of the win for me.
It just sucks to have an interest in something and be completely garbage at it no matter what… and obviously like what she said was not nice, I should be happy to make it past a boss I was having difficulty with and I really don’t think she meant for it to have the impact it did. It just is hard to get past that and enjoy the game now, knowing that it’s not just comp I suck at, it’s games in general.
