What Do You Just Fucking Suck At? (hexbear.net)

Keep it light plz. For example, I am terrible terrible bowler. Just absolutely piss poor even compared to equally casual people, any time there's been some kinda get together involving bowling I have come in last by a huge huge margin. I need the bumpers. I can bowl a perfect game in wii sports tho.

FPS games as well, not really a fan and have never ever been able to hack it at them. After graphics got good enough I didn't find the perspective disorienting team sticks became the norm and I'm left handed so that was a weird thing to adjust to for me and by then it was 360 era CoD time and I wanted nothing to do with it and would just die 4 seconds into each spawn anyway.

Punctuality. Putting things away after using them. Remembering where I put my phone after putting it down in front of me one second ago. Calling you on your birthday. Opening my Mail and responding to it.

Took me 25 years to recognize I had ADHD. cat-confused

On a lighter note: Chess. Hate that fucking game. Makes me feel stupid everytime I look at a board. Everything is fine and suddenly your queen is hanging and your opponent gives you a smug look, as in "did you really miss that?".

Chess is one for me but in that I literally don't know how to play it, as in don't really know what pieces do what or even which is which. They are as follows, king, queen, horse, castle, other guy, pawn.

The first time I tried playing chess it was online and I fucked up and had it so I could only move one piece to one space but since I didn't know the rules I thought it just wasn't letting me move and was desperately apologizing to the other player via the chat for not understanding how to play

They beat me, btw

I was pretty good at chess, but when you get to the point where the only people at your skill level are 60 year old men who take 5-10 minutes per move I got incredibly bored. This was before the age of online chess, so the pool of opponents in my bumfuck nowhere area was tiny. Maybe I should try again with the emergence of online speed chess.

But yeah, patience is something I’m bad at I guess.
