    Vidya games!

    Specifically, any games requiring “twitch” reflexes. I love ‘em, but I do not have the genetic material to master them.

    Singing & drawing. I do also try to do things I am not naturally good at on purpose, because I am not good at them, though I wouldn’t say I enjoy those things. Ended up enjoying gardening that way, cooking, dancing, and am good at those now, and enjoy them. Spanish, any language except English I suck but keep trying.

    Chess. It’s taken me a few years to climb from 400 to 800 elo (1100 on lichess). Then I see comments from people who say “I got to 1000 after I learned how the pieces move” and it’s so demoralizing

    pretty much everything i do.

    I’m an amateur at most things, don’t have the time/money/energy to become an expert in anything really. But I like trying new stuff all the time. I’ve learned 6 different foreign languages, but am fluent in none of them, for example.

    Dota.

    I was literally 1 MMR after starting. At my peak I was slightly above the average player. Now I am average. Years later.

    I am generally pretty good with the games I invest time into. Not this one.

      You’ve done a good job! You used sound and letter knowledge along with phonemes to encode your answer. Often when adding a suffix of -ing to a word, you will need to double your consonant.

      I’m proud of your attempt. All you’re missing is an extra L after the first one!

    Disc golf

    I don’t have the power or accuracy to score well nor the time to invest in improving. I do love the time walking through the woods with family and friends sharing the experience as we goof around.
