    Pretty solid. Explains why i stopped liking online-games which i was so damn passionate about 20yrs ago.

    Beside being unable to compete with the youngsters 😁

      You can still still be competitive, you just have to be a bit clever about it.

      I recently started playing mobile shooters… in an Android emulator with a mouse and keyboard. Destroying touchscreen kiddos with a proper input device never gets boring.

      Some games are even smart enough to detect the mouse and keyboard and only match you with other players using external input devices, like CoD Mobile. That’s one of my favorites because it’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits. All the best maps from the old games are there. And new modes come out every week. It’s so much better than modern CoD; takes me back to the days of playing CoD4 and MWII on the Xbox 360 when I was a teenager.

        You know it’s not really competition when you give yourself a massive advantage, right?

        You know that you’re a grownup cheating to beat children, right?

        You know that’s sadder than playing a fair game and losing, right?

        Right?
