duh? One is a completely passive ‘experience’, while the other is more akin to a hobby: You perform an action, gain a skill and overcome obstacles that become more and more difficult.

Best skills from video games:

Puzzle solving / abstract thinking

Hand / eye coordination

Not flying into a blind rage when playing Rocket League, Apex, Deadlock, etc.

Still working on that last one.

I remember when Rocket League first came out and I thought it was going to be this silly, fun game. Boy, was I wrong. Totally not my crowd.

Competitive games always attract the most toxic people. I stick with co-op games for that reason.

Same. Which is a shame because I could enjoy a silly game where you play soccer in a car. But not the way people play it in real life. Those ultra competitive types have to ruin anything with the littlest bit of competitive dynamic.

I remember my friends getting me to play LoL when it came out (we were big WoW people who were all very comfortable and good at WoW-style PvP). Didn't stay there long!
