I played Clash Royale and was top 5 in Chile for some seasons, I play Risk Global Domination and ranked Grandmaster, I play chess in Lichess with ratings just under 2000(I once luckily defeated a National Master at a simul), I do Windsurf and I'm terrible at it, I have played Football all my life and I'm average, I like painting and I'm worst than terrible at it. That's about it.

Fucking terrible, I took up hockey last year as an adult.
I'm the best I've ever been, but I'm skating with guys my same age that have three decades more practice.
My hobby has a leaderboard, so for better or for worse, I know exactly how good I am at it. Currently sitting around the top 0.01% of Power Shift players in The Finals, down from top 0.001% last season. Part of me hates knowing this, because I tend to obsess over it. But another part of me loves it because I never get to gloat about anything in life, so it's fun to brag once in a while.
What is Power Shift?
It's a kind of "side" mode in The Finals, which is an FPS game. In Power Shift, 2 teams of 5 try to push a floating platform from the center of the arena into their opponent's base, in a sort of reverse tug-of-war battle. As the platform traverses the arena, it effortlessly demolishes all structures in its path, so the destruction and chaos are cranked to 11.
It's sort of similar to "payload" type objectives in some other FPS games like Overwatch or TF2, but instead of teams taking turns, they're both pushing against each other with the same payload. It's a ton of fun!
Thanks for the explanation! I am not much of an fps player, so i had no idea, but it sounds fun for sure :)
I'm fine in poetry, and terrible in skeleton reconstruction or things like taxidermy because I'm terrible with my hands, but I'll keep trying
Decent at some and a beginner at others. Tbh, I have more hobbies than time to practice and really get good at all of them. So progress is slow, but I enjoy each one of them and don't want to give up any just yet. Guess I'm taking the scenic route to mastery, maybe by the time I retire I'll be really cooking. And if not, I still would consider it time well spent.
On a scale of total novice to master, 1 to 10, I'd say I average about a 3. Handily capable compared to the layperson, but unremarkable compared to other hobbyists. I do have a lot of hobbies though
I used to do my hobby as a full time job, I realized I didn’t enjoy it as much when it was my job so I switched careers so I could still enjoy it.
