    I've been on and off with Hearthstone for years. Every time I really start to sink my teeth into it, I get warded back off by all the RNG effects. I think I'm finally done this time, but I said that the last two times I stopped playing.

    Did you like PUBG, then? I find PUBG delightfully difficult, and every time I feel like I'm not even that good at the game, I'll run into a new player who is still fumbling with the controls, attachments, leaving their gun on single fire, not looted enough, etc. I like the watching the way a game changes as the average player improves, and PUBG's average player is really good, which makes the game so challenging and so much fun.

    I myself am a very, very competitive person. Because of this, I play almost exclusively competitive titles that feature a ranked ladder and esports. I find that even on a game that takes care to be competitive, there are still plenty (read: the vast majority) of people that don't seem to care for playing to win, or that don't make any sincere effort to ever improve. There's a guy called Labor on a game I play who plays hundreds and hundreds of ranked matches per season, but plays exactly the same today as he did a year or two ago. He's totally average, stagnant in rank, but keeps playing. Are any of you like Labor? If you are, what do you look for in a game? Even if you aren't, I'm curious. What kinds of games do you play? What types of experiences are you looking for? Why do you look for those experiences?
