Bad gaming days

Do you ever have a day where you think I'll play some videogames today, and end up sucking at everything you play?

For some reason you just can't get into the groove and your mojo has left you and on top of that you're just having the worst luck in the games to begin with?

What have been some of your bad gaming days?

I get bad gaming days far more frequently than I'd like. It's like I wake up some days and can't get my hands and my brain to agree on anything. Happens mostly when I want to play something competitive like Overwatch or Rainbow Six Siege. I go in, feeling normal, and just get cl4pped left, right, and centre, can't seem to make any good plays, and am just a burden on my teammates.

It always sucks because I just want to have some fun and I physically can't do it.

I remember once when I was playing MK Wii I decided to unlock Mirror cup that day no matter what. After a few attempts I completed the Special cup 150cc with an A. The only cups remaining were star cup and lightning cup. I aced star cup with ☆☆. I was feeling confident and started playing Lightning cup.
I got hit successively spiny shells, Bullet Bill's Pow Blocks and what not!?
4 attempts only failure.....I quit the 5th attempt in the second race itself.
A month later I beat that cup, unlocked Mirror cup and DRY BOWSER!
History repeated itself when I attempted to beat mirror cup :(
Now all I've to do is unlock Rosalina! Rosalina! Rosalina!
And I will eventually.

I can't think of any specific examples but I know what you mean
I don't know if this is related, but if I'm in a down mood for a reason, I find myself unable to play any kind of game, like I'd be too distracted by my mood to invest a game, so I just don't bother usually

I think a better idea is to just post when you're having those days. This Thread is going places that be open ended, and I actually want this Thread to slay alive.

I'd say bad gaming days for me are ones where a game gives me technical difficulties. If I make an error in a game I usually don't care that much since it's only a game, I think it only begins to bother me if I fail numerous times, prompting me to give up.

The most recent bad gaming day I had was months ago with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I was so stoked to dive into it, but then I found out there was a scratch on the disc that would render the game unplayable after I reached a certain spot in the game!
