Am a young millenial but me not playing online games has nothing to do with that. I am just antisocial.

I need to avoid competition for my mental health sake. It isn’t even fun I just can’t stand losing so any game that makes me lose will see me pouring countless hours to ‚win’ whatever that means.
It’s honestly like some kind of disability because once any small amount of competition is involved it ruins everything for me. Let’s say I enroll in drawing course. Someone there is better and now I can’t sleep because I need to win or something. It’s exhausting and like a prison of mind in a way.
It’s not that bad nowadays thankfully but like few years ago it was all such maddening race to who knows where instead of savouring the meaningful. Frankly it’s still the same but competition now is who is the wisest

Chat and PvE games are nice.
My interest is with the Hard mode AI and only the Hard mode AI. Outsider do not need to get involved.
My joints hurt too much for competitive gameplay anyway.
Every competitive game today is a sweatfest (I'd be part of that if I was decent).
I don't have the natural skill to be good right off the bat, and I don't have the time to make up for that skill gap, and I have a tendency to get hooked on competition.
So there isn't anything good that can come of it for me.

We need to bring back independent MMOs with shit graphics and low enough overhead to run in the browser.

As an old fart I have enjoyed beating a computer many times. However, beating your friends is always nicer.
The entire latency problems and whatnot come when you are trying to beat strangers online; that has always held very little appeal to me
It seems that the younger generation is actually learned something. Good lad.
Young millennial here ... did this guy forget about League of Legends? We definitely played competitive online games, in fact, we were the very worst and most toxic 😌🏆

I don't care for pvp versus total strangers. Local pvp or co-op is where it's at. Same with LAN parties. My brother used to bring his PS3 over to my apartment in college. He'd hook up to the TV, I'd grab a PC monitor and headphones, and my roommate would bring his own TV to the living room and we'd play Borderlands 2 together. We used to also play a lot of Melee in those days. I miss that a lot.

I like human competition. I have my doubts about human team mates, because some of them are total noobs. I can barely tolerate class based teams, and I hate playing medic with a passion, because no one appreciates the medic.
Where I personally draw the line is effing building shit in FPS games..Who the hell ever thought that up? I'm running around shooting people, I don't want to erect a freaking shed with a staircase in the middle of nowhere so I can freak out and hide in it like a scared rat.
Oh and skins and outfits. Nothing gives me more pleasure than constantly killing off every player with the fanciest outfit using the oldest, most default skin in the game. I'm sure you think you look super fancy in your banana suit with sunglasses that were undoubtedly bought by your freaking mom, now eat my rocket and die.
And it needs to be executed flawlessly. Lost a unit? Tap dat undo fast!
