    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!
