My buddy got me on Call of Duty and I'm absolutely terrible but having so much fun. Keep telling myself I'll only play for an hour before bed and then suddenly it's midnight. My reaction time is garbage but I'm determined to get better. Any games you guys recommend for someone my age getting back into it?
Being terrible at something new is actually fun though. No pressure, just learning and improving. Better than games where you're forced to be competitive from the start.
Do yourself a favor and don't get too deep into it. Gaming is great but make sure you're not letting it take away from family time. I see that happen a lot.
Call of Duty is the perfect game to get back into gaming with. Your skills will come back faster than you think and then you'll really have fun with it.
This is awesome. Takes guts to pick something back up after 15 years especially if you're bad at it. The fact that you're having fun matters way more than being good at it.
Dude, being terrible at something new is half the fun. You're living my dream right now. I miss gaming so much but between work and my kid I can barely get an hour in. Enjoy it while you can, and don't let anyone tell you it's a waste of time.
This is exactly the kind of thing dads need to do more. Something just for you, something that's fun and takes your mind away from everything else. Who cares if you're bad at it?
This is awesome. Getting back into something you loved is a total win. My kids are getting old enough that I can sneak in some gaming time and honestly it's keeping my sanity intact. The terrible part doesn't matter as much as the fun part.

Haha nice. Call of Duty is brutal to jump back into. But seriously, having a hobby that's just for you is important. Your buddy just gave you a great gift whether he knows it or not.
