Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming. (lemmy.world)

Long, short story:

Am bad-to-average FPS gamer, looking to improve. Saw an OSU! gamer flinging its "shots" left and right and tried my best to mimick the experience in an FPS. And it worked significantly -- all of my shots felt more "secure", even with my aiming being rusty beyond belief.

And the "trick" to do this is simply leaving your "aiming hand" to aim (ONLY) while leaving your "non-aiming hand" to shoot and everything else. That's it.

Yep. And I still play from time to time, despise getting my arse served by most players. And I've got to admit that hand tension is exactly -THE- "main" problem for me, despise trying to be as relaxed as possible with drinks and the like. I do have lots of "Why my crosshair isn't moving to where I want it to go?" moments due to it.

...and I... (kind of) given up, honestly. I'm about to be a 40 year old geezer, so eh.
