This is also Gen-X trait but only if you got bullied for not eating paint chips back in the day.

My problem is that the computer is pretty stupid in most games, especially in strategy or similar genres. In more difficult settings the computer usually only have more resources or some buffs but is not a better player. Even in 2024, they can't manage to program a decent AI. It often kills the fun for me.

Maybe around the same age as this person and we played the shit out of HL, Quake and Unreal T online. Then Phantasy Star Online.

Gen X and I like real opponents to shoot virtually so I don't have to do it IRL. The first real multi-player FPS I played was the original Doom circa 1993. Those are some of my fondest gaming memories.

You do you though. Don't cave to peer pressure. If you don't want to play multi-player, don't. I understand- the toxicity can be excessive. People who don't sound like they're having fun. Weird to me.

I'm gen z but I honestly suck at most online competitive games so I can really relate

I like to play online to Get Good™, but I highly prefer playing with my friends. Each of my friends is good enough at a different game to be ranked regionally or globally.
