Oh hey now...I was a big gamer back in the day! Practically nobody could beat me at Pong😂. Actually I did like to play Morrowind and Oblivion in the early 2000's. I was already old then, so didn't play for hours on end like some younger folk do.
I have walked away several times, and each time has been a step up, or level up rather. My circumstances have improved each time. Sometimes from friends, and even a husband, of which I have spoken before. I also count the level ups of mere acquaintances by changing the venue of get togethers and hang out spots. Yes, places can be toxic even without knowing anyone in particular there.
I have come to the conclusion that I should be a hermit and find a cave somewhere, though that may prove difficult in Florida😂.
Lol...pong huh? Well, I'm certain you competed at a high level. I heard it's going to be in the Olympics so yeah, not too late to rekindle that pong flame.
Walking away is an important skill for sure, and as you've pointed out it's not just people but places and situations and other things like turning off the mainstream media. These things can become like addictions and habit as well and that has to be broken because much of the influence they exert is worthless at best and destructive.
When you find that cave let me know, I've already packed my loin cloth and bearskin.
Ohh, the Olympics,eh? Nice, I'll try out for the team. Maybe even the Duck Hunt team as well, assuming they are also adding that event in! 😂
So many addictions and bad habits to avoid these days, it's like walking through a minefield just to accomplish your daily tasks. I really think the cave is a valid idea 😂. You like to pack light, I see!
You're a sure thing for the Duck Hunt team, I'm on the selection committee.
No point in getting bogged down with the unimportant. 😁
😂
I share your experience, that "leveling up" by choosing froends who were better at sports or a particular sublect did help me improve.
Incidentally, I played Elder Scrolls Skyrim, but I am familiar with Oblivion.
A remastered version of Oblivion has recently been released.
Sadly my son is playing it, so I feel a bit old, but I thought you should the graphics are pretty good.
But now that you can see the characters quite well, they are a bit ugly though..
LOL
lol I haven't seen the remastered version, but when you put it like that, maybe I don't want to!! lol
