Not being able to beat games after trying for so long makes me feel more like a failure than life does

[zephyr]

Can anyone else relate?

After a while I start to notice more so why I'm losing, rather than getting better at it.

For instance in Minecraft Hardcore. I'm on Bedrock edition. So I don't have certain features that Java players do. (I mean I literally thought that wouldn't matter being it's a game about blocks when I first started...)

Relatable to me, I have dogshit hand-eye coordination so it feels impossible to truly get better at games. Same with typing despite being on the computer for hours every day.

Because we’re retards with no reflexes or spatial awareness

Oh my gosh; This is fate. Thread being active today.

I thought about some real lame thing today about my Minecraft playing.

It suddenly occurred to me. What if the, real, reason, most people don't beat it is because they don't wanna admit it gets too boring.

Not everything's about autism but I feel like I momentarily broke through to neurotypical in that moment.

True but some games are badly designed poorly optimised or outright using dated gameplay. Dont be too hard on yourself just try to have fun.

Me with overwatch rn

Im decent at healer and tank but I can't aim for shit as dps and sometimes I have to play it and I just let my team down, even when playing easier characters

I lose to newbies at my fav game I've been playing for years, it's so brutal that I just play in private lobbies alone at this point
