>>9994160Not a fan of alcohol myself, but you are missing the big picture. First off, it's more likely that your friend always sucked at games and you just remembered wrong because of nostalgia and being younger in general. You both were more into the game at that age so you simply didn't notice it as much.
The real issue is he became an apathetic normie consumer. People without productive hobbies slowly lose their fine motor skills and become demented. Gaming can be a mentally stimulating recreational activity under the right circumstances, but it's not a viable long-term substitute for a real hobby. It can also be a worse drug than alcohol for some people that abuse it for frequent dopamine hits (mobile games, mmos, ect). An alcoholic who's into woodworking would still be sharper than most people. Don't blame the hooch.
t. Guy who also thought his friends were good at games, but recently discovered they aren't despite the fact that they have been gaming for years non-stop.
