    Disc golf

    I don’t have the power or accuracy to score well nor the time to invest in improving. I do love the time walking through the woods with family and friends sharing the experience as we goof around.

      Same. I don’t like playing RTS games the good way. I just like building a cozy little camp and defending it, slowly exploring the map and just building whatever units I feel like building. I enjoy games like Age of Empires and Beyond All Reason because the maps tend to be quite large and random. It usually takes a while before I get overwhelmed if I’m losing I those games, and if I’m winning I can spend a lot of time just messing around without the game being over.

      Games like Starcraft or Warcraft seem to be built too much for quick games where you have to be constantly moving. Expansion locations are very determined and scarce and resources run out way too fast to just turtle in my little corner.

        +1 for Beyond All Reason :)

        So far I’ve only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.

      no shame in switching to easy. I personally don’t have the time to “git good” but I do enjoy me a good story

        Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is where I caved and set it on easy. Don’t got all day to memorize a bajillion attack patterns down to the tenth of a second but shieet… that story is a banger.

    Music.

    I’m a shitty musician, but I love it. Guitar, keyboard, clarinet, I love playing.

      I also have RockSmith and a bass guitar. However, for 3 years I have been playing in local groups (the last year has been a community open mic where up to a dozen musicians sit around and strum together) and having a lot of fun. The thing is that these are almost all elderly people, self-taught, so they are not trying to become rock stars, just to enjoy playing music together. Playing music I have never heard before has been very good for developing my ear.

      I go through periods of playing RockSmith a lot, and then not playing it at all for several months. Discovering user-created tracks that can be added as DLC has been fantastic.

      Same, got Rocksmith and a couple bass guitars. Love it, but even after five years I’m not willing to try playing in front of anyone.

        There are several tracks of learning musical instruments, at least the way I see it. Learn to play other people’s stuff for fun solo, compose and record your own stuff, or jam with a group of buddies.

        I’ll be honest I never got into playing other people’s music but composed in the past. That was nice because you had absolute control but it also limited the creative input and stunted my own growth in music theory that becomes a must when jamming.

        This past year I’ve played more than maybe my entire life with jamming with family. It has been by far the most fun. We just make up our own simple shit and grow together.

          Oh I want to play with my family, it’s just that the bastards are all musicians who have been playing for 40 years.

            Then they should be able to accelerate your learning! My sis never played until this year and she’s kicking ass on bass! It’s a drudge for a bit though, no doubt.

    I’ve been playing Clonehero drumming for about four years now. Nearly every day… and I still suck, miss pads completely, piss poor timing, no groove. Still enjoy it.
