That moment when you realize you aint as good as you used to be. I used to be crazy good at the NES SMB games. the other day I picked up super Mario all-stars for the wii. I loaded up the game and got an ugly reality check. I now suck. I have a climb ahead of me to get back to where I was. but hey i know I can do it. And when I get there I will work at getting even better. Back in the day there was no speed running as far as I know. so when I beat a game it was done. I cant wait till I get good enough to do at least mediocre speed runs.

I feel you, 100%! Games can tone down your senses / make you feel miserable / break you the f¤¤k down! Your mindset is all that matters, no matter what would outside sources do to affect your passion / feelings (I guess)

There was some kind of sudo-speedrunning! It was very handy to record your gp on VHS!

Get well!

Cheers!

Improvement is a lifestyle. Dedicate yourself to being better than the person you were yesterday in very defined ways in your mind. Nail down procedures, errors, and define mental processes for yourself that have worked for you, and be completely open to reevaluating every aspect about yourself. Talk to fewer people, think more about how optimal you are being for the goals you are pursuing, evaluate the goals themselves, and always move forward.

Godspeed
