I used to take this game way too seriously. I got hooked into DD back in 17, and being a highly competitive person that loves baseball, I would get way too upset over the outcome of some games.
I’ve told myself, who gives a flying [censored] if you lose? Hardly no one outside my wife and a few friends/family know I play this game let alone care. This doesn’t make money for me, doesn’t determine the next meal for my family so I’ve gone into H2H play this year more relaxed
Maybe recency bias, but, I’ve never had as much fun in DD since 17 playing with a relaxed mindset…or at least trying to at all times
We all get frustrated. But no reason to let this game dictate or control your emotions. If it’s that bad for you, seriously consider playing something else for your mental well-being
This is exactly how I feel. Started in '17 and would be stressed and be in bad mood if I lost a few games or if I felt I got screwed by rng. I tell myself it's about enjoying my time now everytime I turn on the game.
In my 40s, I can really see the hand/eye coordination decline year after year.
