What's the most useless skill you've mastered, and how did you end up getting so good at it? (lemmy.world)

Im a top 1% player in Rocket League after playing for 4500 hours. The skill gap between me and the best players in the game is the same gap as between me and a brand new player.

But i will still beat 99% of the game's population.

Same for me, but with Tetris. I'm not the best, but I'm confident I can handedly beat the vast majority of the population. I spent most of my lockdown days just doing Tetris.

Did you mean "handily?" Or "single-handedly," implying some sort of Teamtris?

Yup, thanks! I was trying to figure out which word I was thinking of. I must have malaphored myself
