It doesn't matter how much I practise, or try again, I cannot turn back the years.gambit37 wrote:Players need to get better, that's all. Soccer can be "frustratingly difficult" when you first play, Chess is much more than "frustratingly difficult".
People just want stuff handed to them on a plate these days.
Games are fun, sure, but you have to spend a bit of time learning them and understanding them to get the best out of them. Being frustrating is a good thing - it encourages you to get better and try again, thus improving your game. Ever heard of the concept of delayed gratification? It's most of what life is about. Unfortunately, many people seem to have lost that idea and just want instant fun and satisfaction now, without having to work for it.
I can now deal with the monsters easily, I can solve the puzzles without effort, but I cannot, how ever much effort I put into it, complete the speed tests.
I had a really nice keyboard but a leak in the roof soaked it (AND my monitor AND my center speaker) and I bought a "temporary" cheap one (last summer! lol) So a better keyboard is probably the answer. Still...I'll keep trying with my cheapy until I get something better.
