For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

Hello nostalgia.

I clocked a good 2000 hours in UT2004 between 2004 and 2008. Most of those were in trials and race maps.

That was almost 20 years ago. Damn.

I befriended one of the guys who made some of the first trials maps for Unreal, Eric. I believe he went by Pixelscope? He went on to work on Killing Floor, if I recall correctly. He also got me into making levels, modding and 3D modelling.

Here I am, twenty years later, making a living as a VR developer. UT2004 not only made me a better gamer, it made me a game developer.
