It's a curse - Lemmy.World

Am I the only one who can still have fun while dialing it back a bit? Just “fumble” a few times, fall behind intentionally, and then use your skill to catch back up. If you can’t catch up, your friends win and have fun. If you do catch back up, your friends think it was a close game. Either way you get to flex and nobody thinks you’re a sweaty tryhard and we all get to have fun.

On behalf of the dads: We used to let you win all kinds of shit and you never knew! Then one day you beat us for real while we were doing our best… and we had two choices while you gloated: convince ourselves we let you win or let the mid life crisis begin.
