It might make you a better sniper irl, but probably not better at games. You don't need steadiness that much for gaming.

Which is a shame. This is an untapped skill in games! I recall sniping in Metal Gear Solid had a steadiness mechanic. It used analog and rumble. You could even pop some diazepam to slow down your muscle twitching, as well as press a button to hold your breath! Very cool mechanics that other games don’t bother with!
TLDW: only if you also install gentoo
so i actually watched it. the result of the experiment was that he did marginally better at league of legends the second month, while on estrogen, but personally i think that playing hundreds of matches for a couple months probably had more to do with it. it is known that practice can improve one's skills, after all. the real takeaway of the video is that it can be pretty freaking hard to get estrogen.
Wasn't he already playing LoL consistently beforehand? I watched it like a month ago and my brain is very smooth I could be wrong
it seemed that he must've already been playing somewhat consistently, since the goal was to up his rank, or whatever, but he also acted like keeping to a schedule of 5 matches a day every day for two months was pretty daunting, so i'm guessing he played more, and more consistently, during the experiment, than before.
The best way to draw a conclusion is to stop taking estrogen and keep playing until his estrogen level is back to what it was previously and see if there was any correlating loss of ranking.
this, and also have a control sample; someone playing the same amount of games as him but not taking the estrogen at all, to account for the increase in skill after playing so many
Wait, this mf actually took estrogen?
yup. documented everything too, from the process to acquire it to the changes he experienced while taking e for a month
Yes i saw it too he took it for a month.
After like 10 years of gentoo, i switched to nixos. It seems to improve even further my ~~gaming~~boobs skills
