My sister in law has just impulse-bought a darts board as she decided after a couple of games over new year that she was going to become amazing.

Showed her this thread. She’s delighted by your support :smile:

Competitive Pokémon - I’m serious here, it’s a thing. Lot to learn about Gen VII, but when I’m good I’m great.

Do you mean the card game or the computer games?

#85

The classic RPGs. Played Red and Silver back in the day on the Gameboy, then Pearl/Platinum and Black on the DS. Haven’t played the 3DS games (cba, too slow), but I dabble with Pokémon Showdown for battling online.

Never messed with the CCG. Seemed like only darkness awaited me there.

Ah ok. I don’t really know anything about the CCG except that it’s still insanely popular (there’s going to be a 1000 person tournament at some penoid event I’m going to), that it involves actually flipping a coin to determine the outcomes of some card effects, and that if there’s anything less dignified than playing a daft card game with other man-children, it’s playing one with actual seven year olds.

Sorry, I gave you a bit of a curt answer earlier because I was in a bit of a grump. I don’t feel like I’m excelling at parenthood (or life in general) but thanks for saying so anyway.

I think you could well be right. And also, I have a tendency to (a) focus on my failures and shortcomings and (b) compare myself to everyone in the entire world (rather than thinking ‘yep, things are pretty okay for me’). Whereas with an A Level, you could score a far from perfect mark (70%) and still get an A, which was the best available mark.

This is definitely something I think we’re all guilty of to varying degrees and it’s something I genuinely worry about for future generations as it’s only getting worse the more you get to see of what everyone else chooses to show off about. You’re a good dude.

What are the criteria to become world class at that?

Either quantity or quality (duration), I’m not sure I didn’t think hard enough about it. :smile_cat:

#97

Hours logged?

That would cover both quantity and quality I suppose?

I like to think people who beat me are bearded grandmasters, but they’re probably 9-year-old Japanese kids studying for a PhD.

brain teasers and simple logical puzzles and stuff, was freakishly good at sudoku as a kid and could do wordsearches really fast. also in 6th form psychology we did this short term memory test where we had to memorise blocks of numbers and i could remember like twice as many as anyone else, that’s almost a skill
