I never played competitively, and my actions per minute aren't high enough now to even beat the AI on Starcraft 2. I could work through that if it were a priority, but the amount of gaming I can squeeze into my schedule now is minimal.
Interestingly my mother is a librarian now, but that didn't happen until after I was an adult...
I do understand; I have a Ps4 with quite a few games, but usually too much going on to jump on there. Combined with my reflexes not being like they used to... MS and all. But it was always about the fun and playing with friends that I loved the most. I tell you; the first Pc I built... I used to play the first Age of Empires on a dial-up connection, with a fellow I used to work with. By the time I started to gather resources, he was coming over in full force... with trebuchets to boot lol....good times!
