My father's problem w/ games. (6)

1 Name: Jagornat : 2018-02-10 16:50 ID:ghCu/+NG [Del]

So as far as i know my father is playing games since i was born (im 18). I learned English thanks to his interest to the games and i love playing games. He mostly doesn't play games anymore since he is either exhausted or cannot find anything suitable for him. He lately got interested in a game i was playing called "fortnite" (on ps4) which is a game in which you fight to death ect. I love seeing him enjoy a game and play but there is a problem. I don't know if it is because he is getting older and gettin more and more exhausted each day but he cannot seem to get better. He sometimes gets lucky and gets a few kills but he can't control his aim most of the time and gets frustrated. I really want him to be able to play and enjoy and seeing him getting dissapointed makes my world go down. He sometimes tells me stories about how good he used to be etc. I don't really know what to do. He is 43 so he isnt even old (idk i consider 40's not old) i can't really translate his career but know that he is carrying stuff to butchers ect. I just want to help him enjoy.

When I'm sharing games, I notice a lot of people can have trouble using the right joystick. Consider giving fortnite on pc a try.

Weird recommendation, but try a steam controller.

Perhaps your pawpaw's fingers are strained or cartilage is wearing down (happens early with age)

Using trackpads instead of joysticks, thumbs are less overextended and one can adjust to less cartilage.

Well it is a game! Challenging as it is, you must not forget to enjoy yourself playIng a game. Who cares if you suck or cant do mych. You get better along the way. So always remind him to enjoy himself playing instead of taking it too serious.
