Video Games
Now, I don't play video games
not often
I like mobile games sometimes
just not console
My hands rarely feel good on the controller
and idle noises like footsteps or items clicking into place
can sometimes hurt my ears
I can't aim worth a shit
and I don't like the idea of spending hundreds of hours
working towards an ending
But
I'll do it with others sometimes
I usually quit in frustration
But sitting with someone
trying to explain that I'm really bad and I'm sorry
is way better than trying on my own
I don't think I'll ever complete most console games
But I will absolutely start a new game
with someone
just to see and hear
how someone who is good reacts to me
being very not good
I find it is a very effective way
to see the personality of someone
If I immediately frustrate them because I can't look
at mini maps and the sword I'm holding at the same time
then they're probably not someone I wanna see more
But if they laugh and try to direct me in the right way
Or just enjoy watching me wander and play around
I find I enjoy those moments
And that they will accept my shortcomings
A little bit easier
