Years ago, I may have felt the same and I probably did but my life is not compatible with "getting gud" at every game that comes my way or that i even want to play. I grew up with the same systems as you as I know full well they used to be much harder and the challenge was the whole point. Not anymore so much with a lot of games.

I have chosen 1 game to fully invest myself into and that's BG3. I'm on my tactician run, just as I did with DoS 1 & 2 and I'm enjoying it because I'm willing to do so with that masterpiece of a gaming experience. But I also play other games when I can't and I just want it to be fun. Hard, easy and everything in-between, I just wanna zone out, forget about my day and watch an interactive story unfold before me.
