For a moment I thought you meant the grandma

How’s the viper doing? I never followed the scene heavily but was involved in it for a little bit and the viper was super chill and the best at the time.

Lord DauT > all those other dweebs

He's definitely top 10, but did he overthrow viper. Been a while I've followed AoE2 pro scene?

Being the AOE2 world champion is kinda like being the netball world champion. Yes it takes a lot of skill but no one but your grandma gives a shit.

Arguably...? Like if not the elo and tournaments and other pros saying it make him the current champ, what would?

I've never heard anyone describe it that way. That is exactly what I want too. I dont need this to be hard and competitive. I want to make something beautiful and fight some weak opponents. Nowadays, I just play eu4 with my kid, cheating whenever we feel like it and not caring too much.

I remember how my hands would hurt after a competitive StarCraft 2 game.

Give Caesar startehy games a try then!

I just hate always being rushed rushed rushed. Always have to go faster. Click faster, move faster, make decisions faster. Faster faster faster.

I want to play a strategy game, but at competitive levels, it's less about strategic thinking and more about just memorizing what the 'meta' is, and then being able to execute that meta faster than the other guy. And all this rush and hurry all the time is just too much strain. I want to play games to relax, not to add stress. I get plenty of stress from real life.

Cos it's serious, dude 😄
