>play videogames for 20 years
>still haven't found ONE game that I'm good at and confident at

why the hell do I still waste my time doing this? it's not fun to lose so often and have it be entirely your own fault and lack of skill. I feel like I barely improve when I practice. when I have to practice things they stop being fun because I just get too frustrated

You don't have to be good at the things you enjoy, OP. What matters is that you enjoy them, nothing else.
>>
Literally just play a lot, that's how you get good. I used to be like you, then i got addicted to wow and played it nonstop for two years straight. Eventually i started consistently getting top 10 parses for my class and at some point held #1 all star for my class. It got boring pretty quickly. The process of actually getting good is much more fun and enjoyable.

I'm the same, that's why I don't play comp games anymore, mainly play campaign stuff.

Its all genetic, OP.Practice doesnt matter at all if you dont have genes
t.sufferer of sames as OP

I never care if I'm good or bad at a game, I only care if I'm learning how to improve. Once I feel I've reached my limits or the game's limits, I get bored.
>>
>>387220923
it's hard to enjoy them when you're aggressively bad, especially in something like vidya with a hard win/loss system
>>
>>387221425
Then play something simpler, or some thing without very much difficulty at all. Even something without an actual goal, like say Minecraft.
Like I said, you don't have to win. The aim is to enjoy yourself, right? it doesn't matter how bad you are in the end.

I know for a fact I'll never ever be able to beat anyone even remotely competent in fighting games, and I'll never be good enough to play on the hardest music game difficulties. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy playing them.
>>
Dont worry, lots of people can't even beat single player games.

You are probably playing online games with people you aren't good friends with, there is no way to win at a co-op game consistently unless you have friends who you really enjoy playing with to work together with

>Have spent thousands of hours in fighting/fps games
>still complete shit at them

I don't even know why I try anymore.

>>387221425
I've been playing fighting games for two and a half years, and it feels like just recently my efforts are pushing me into solid intermediate to an inconsistent higher levels of play. I got my ass beat the shit out of me 90% of the time all that time unless playing offline with my bro also learning around the same skill, and I still lose half the time when I play. Don't worry about the win and loss too much. Sure it can be frustrating, but if you aren't playing a game that you truly enjoy to the core, don't stress yourself to become some prodigy, not the other way around.

>>387222118
Play SIMPLE games.
Play something that is easy to learn, but fun to play.
Play something that isn't sold and bought for it's difficulty.
Play something you're not forcing yourself to play.
I'm literally typing out common sense here anon, what else do you want?

Learn chess you faggot. You probably don't know how to read opponents' moves if you can't git gud after 20 years, and there's no better place to learn that. Plus being good at chess is worthy of respect unlike video games.

Megaman Zero 3 is pretty much the only game I can sit down and play start to finish in one sitting. The dashing and slashing relaxes me.

That's probably it OP. Find a game that relaxes you to the point of wanting to play it occasionally. Then you will naturally become adept at something. Any life skill in general really.
