Video games. I play a lot of them, and I suck at all of them, but I’ll be damned if I don’t enjoy them.
Ah yup. I’m pretty good at the single player games that I play, but whenever my buddies want to do any kind of matchmaking, it’s some of the best fun I have being absolutely awful at something. Consistently at the bottom of the squad and loving it, baby
Music.
I’m a shitty musician, but I love it. Guitar, keyboard, clarinet, I love playing.
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 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.
RTS games.
After the first few campaigns, all my hours get logged with mods and God mode, ain’t nobody got time to constantly grind for weeks, my campaign needs to wrap up by the end of the day!
Life.
I was gonna say this, but OP also said “something you enjoy”…
I have my moments of joy in life. But I still suck at it, IMO.
Dancing. I did go to a party last week with a DJ and danced my ass off anyway.
Speling
You’ve done a good job! You used sound and letter knowledge along with phonemes to encode your answer. Often when adding a suffix of -ing to a word, you will need to double your consonant.
I’m proud of your attempt. All you’re missing is an extra L after the first one!
Thank you for helpping out! My spelling is gooder already!
Playing guitar. Strum (no, wait), strum (no, wait), etc.
Vidya games!
Specifically, any games requiring “twitch” reflexes. I love ‘em, but I do not have the genetic material to master them.
Chess. It’s taken me a few years to climb from 400 to 800 elo (1100 on lichess). Then I see comments from people who say “I got to 1000 after I learned how the pieces move” and it’s so demoralizing
my job
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.
Snooker
Snooker is so ridiculously difficult. If I knock in a 9 break (red, black, red) I am so proud of myself. And yet I have played against guys who will knock in a 60 or 70 like it’s nothing.
Yeah… 60/70 like it’s nothing? That’s nearly pro level. I play with a friend, he sucks just a tiny bit less than I do 🤣
Leaving good comments that aren’t polarizing and don’t hurt sensitive feelings since my take on something doesn’t match your take.
Holy shit. This like finding the holy grail. Or antigravity. Or the nonexistence of god. Or p=np.
Playing Football (Soccer). I’ve got the stamina and speed well above average but my aim is beyond horrid
Making videos for my YouTube channel. I like having random ideas, making the vids then uploading them, but man am I not good at it. My vids are mediocre at best compared to other YouTube channels I watch, but I enjoy the process.
I really like when I’m doing a funny video, I’m working on editing and think “oh this would be funny here” and add that, and do that over and over until it’s been 20 hours of editing for a 10 minute video and I have to force myself to export it and be done.
tip, take it or leave it.
don’t try to emulate what someone else is doing, be creative as you want.
even Picasso couldn’t paint like Frida, but both were amazing on their own merits.
Oh yeah for sure, I get inspirations from other channels, but I don’t try to directly rip them off. I don’t have that kind of charm and my videos aren’t all a single genre, they’re kinda all over the place.
