@sammydog01 After a 25 year video game hiatus, I caught wind of League of Lessons and decided to give it a try. I didn’t even get in up and running before it became super clear that I’m too old for that shit!
EDIT: I find it necessary to state that my enthusiasm is more for things like Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong, and less for whatever games are currently broadcast during ‘e-sports’ competitions. I’d much rather watch players duke it out in multiplayer MarioKart or Smash Bros. than Fortnite or League of Legends.
I am no longer competitive in Minesweeper, so IDGAFF.
@werehatrack Solitaire is where all the real action is at.

@kuoh Pfui. Nobody ever made a fake trailer for a nonexistent Solitaire movie.
@kuoh
Who can forget this historic men’s video tennis match? What an exciting performance and surprising comeback!
KuoH
@kuoh this was rigged
@jouest @kuoh Better than Riggs-ed.
I watched two hours of league of legends the other night. I don’t understand the game but it has cats so it’s cool.

@jouest @sammydog01 go back to playing Typing of the Dead (PC, consoles, and someone probably set up an arcade cabinet for it somewhere)
@jouest @pakopako That looks like something I would enjoy. I’m looking for a free version- Internet archives has it, I may give it a shot.

Personally I’d love to see it.

@PooltoyWolf Donkey Kong makes sense because it is what they played in Ancient Greece.
@jouest Ha!
Ten-chord Guitar Hero with percussion via footpads might be admissible as a competitive sport with an actual agility and endurance element, I guess.
@werehatrack I think Dance Dance Revolution could also fit that category.
How about Virtual MMA using a motion capture suit?
@werehatrack you could fight Bigfoot that way. or a Roosevelt.
I’m still baffled about how Microsoft Excel became an esport.

@narfcake The extreme pivot table battles are severely underrated!

@kuoh @narfcake Macro optimization as well
@narfcake for freaks in the sheets
@jouest @narfcake I thought the Olympics were supposed to be family friendly? Oh wait, what am I thinking, this is 2024.

The Olympics just needs to stop. Does nothing but make cities worse.
