One day, I beat him.
The next day, he beat me.
The day after that, he won a tournament.

I = sad.

I'd lose to you 25 times in a row in French mirrors on Hudson Bay any day over 9 wins in League :love:

Probably the last few times I tried to play AoE3 after long breaks. Same with league. Only frustrating

For me it must have been one of those starcraft 2 sessions. I somehow would only go on huge winning and huge losing streaks. Talking about losing 15 games in a row.

Yesterday's run while streaming. Random civ wheel gave me some challenges, but that's nothing new. I just completely lacked any focus and always looked away the exact moment the opponent attacked. Also had an awfully hard time clicking stuff, idk if it's the hitboxes or me being incompetent. That happened in every single game, resulted in losses only and really told me to stop for the day before it spirals down further.

I have recently started playing lobby games. This includes Team Games, FFAs, 3v3 against Extreme AI, Co-op historical battles. I must say that:
1. People are in general nicer, less toxic compared to ranked 1v1.
2. Many people there don't seem to have any intention of playing ranked. They're content with having played less than five ranked 1v1 supremacy games till date but have their entire 'Causal Rank' medal tally filled with stars.

It may not exactly develop your skill, but it certainly satisfies your 'craving' for playing aoe3 without enduring the toxicity and stress of losing on QS.

Anyway after writing this I realized that my post is not even relevant to the question asked ha ha.

A few months ago I was playing settlers of catan and chess at the same time, with different people. I would turn my chair around to alternate between the games. I ended up lossing both since my focus was split. Then me and my friends joked about that hopefully I will be lucky in love since clearly I'm unlucky in games. Then we ended the night with playing FIFA22 where we played me vs two others (it's much easier to play alone than with someone else). Then I said either I win this and at least the night won't be a total disaster or I will lose and surely I will meet the love love of my life sometime soon. And so FML the game ended in a tie..

I feel like people are interpreting this thread as "what's a day of gaming where you lost a lot" rather than actually their worst day of gaming

Or is winning really that important to you all?

Yeah, for me my worst day of gaming would have to be the day my pokemon game corrupted on vacation in France. Terrible all around.

Thought of a better answer. Some years ago we had a "LAN party" at work where I found out how shitty my colleagues' taste in games is. Call of duty, trackmania, etc. The saving grace should have been the RTS that they supposedly played so I was hyped about that but it ended up being supreme commander and homeworld which turned out to be really bad games, especially against the AI.

One day I was having some really bad connection issues. The first few games I had a very good start, good treasures, good age up, was really getting invested in the match and then around 5-7 minutes the game disconnected me. Another match after that disconnect me within 5 seconds. I thought I would give it one more chance and I finally got a game without connection issues. Instead I got matched with a player 600 elo above me who easily beat me.
