Is getting old good enough excuse to stop being gud at video games?

When I was 16 I could superhard Alien Soldier without taking a hit with different loadouts.

Now nearing 30 I just can't keep up with all the shit happening on screen, despite knowing patterns by heart I just slip once in a while, or react too late.

Is it time to move onto casual shit like mmos and turn based games?

no, you just aren't playing that game as often as you did in these years, there is a chance that you just were fucked by mother nature and your reflexes became shit though, but most die hard players of a game rarely stop being good at it just for being old

It is something that happens to us all as we get older OP. I still play the games I love and work against my age by opening myself up to faster games that I never played before. It adds a new type of challenge.

Lack of physical exercise is the main reason of neurological decline.

Your brain starts decaying afer you're 20 if you lead a sedentary life.

An old brain could lead to slower reaction time.

Do you exercise?

Games that aren't taken in turns are designed for hyperactive, twitchy, children or supreme autismos who can win RTS' with a lone worker unit.

If there are karate masters in their fifties capable of splitting bricks, you have no excuse. Alien Soldier isn't that execution-heavy either, so you doubly have no excuse.

Anon, do not feel bad about something like being shit at video games. Video games are meant as a way to pleasurably spend time, not as something to hone your skill at. Use it as such, and instead improve your skills at something worthwhile. Get into writing and write a good book. Learn how to draw. Learn a new language. Program something. There are countless ways one can develop himself while doing something worthwhile. Ways that can bring one great friends – I wrote fucking fanfiction as a hobby, and I've met incredible people along the way, some of which I am close friends with to this very day, while also learning how to tell shit prose from good (fanfics or not, I tried hard to hold myself up to high standards and consulted many textbooks and even authors). These things have use beyond simple killing of time, they develop you as a person, bring entertainment to others, grant you new knowledge.

So please, anon, whatever you do, do not feel bad about not being as great at videogames as before, because it is not an important skill to have (unless you start demanding games to be easier, at which point you should just kill yourself). Instead, focus on skills that actually bring you some profit in the long run, capiche?

When you were 16 you played Alien Soldier a lot more. When you were 16 you didn't fake yourself out with this idea that you never paid attention to before.

It's all in your head.

and also don't forget the horrible input lag on modern computer setups.

If all else fails you just gotta git gud.
