The agepill is brutal. Having just obtained a nice 1440p 320 hertz monitor, I decided to boot up Doom 2016 for the first time in nearly 10 years, remembering how much I loved that game during my mid 20s. Now as a 34 year old, I was utterly wrecked, even on the medium difficulty, which I used to find far too easy. My reaction times were horrible, and things happened faster than I could wrap my head around. Just a total shitshow. Fuck getting older. It ruins everything.

not 100% true
any games where you’re not with people you know in real life is a cope, even single player ones. deep down these people know subconsciously theyre ugly making them not experience what’s ‘normal’ and that they’re not wanted in real life so they cope with gaming. i dont blame them either way, its just natural selection at work. human nature at play, a shame looks and bad environment is enough to break someone

True. Ever since I exist I see all types of people playing video games, females included, like my mother. It's not that video game is non-nt, it's simply that non-nt people will be more addicted to it. But playing it per se and not making it the entirety of your personality is super nt.

‘cause ‘normies’ play shit like roblox, minecraft, fortnite, or some mainstream game, and they only play it to connect with people they know in real life, not ‘cause they’re heavily invested into the game itself. the social aspect of the game is important to them. they use it to interact with their friend group or to get some validation. gaming to escape where you’re heavily invested in it is way different than playing to connect with people you know

I don't know, I am now better than ever at video games at 27yo.

I tried Doom Eternal after five years and I was able to beat some master levels which I had problems with before. Also, I am much better at puzzle games, I don't need to look up solutions like I did before.

i'm 54 and my skills have mostly been the same, but i don't play twitch shooters, i play simulators and strategy games. i don't think i've noticed any degradation, in fact, the older games i used to play seem really simple and stupid, like they're designed for retards. i don't know how people can still play those games when games of higher fidelity simulation and more complex mechanics exist.

Some months ago I was playing Devil May Cry 3 on PCSX2 and I couldn't beat the third bosses (Agni & Rudra), which made me frustrated because when I was a kid I was great at this game and I rarely lost to the bosses, and now I can't beat a fucking boss at the beginning of the game.

I think it's just when we are a kid we take more risks when it comes to game, all offense and no defence like a glass cannon

But when we are older we are too cautious and defensive

With Devil May Cry u can't do that

Playing in emulator is very easy since you can save and load at any time, which you usually couldn't do on the original console, also you can change the emulation speed at 50%, everything will move in slow-motion and you can easily beat bosses or more difficult levels - I use these tricks for the older GTA games, which are harder than the more recent ones.

While ur correct its better to play it more authentically, the way the developers orginally intended.

You will feel better finishing it that way

I'm an old fart as well. Lvl 250 in eternal, was spamming ultra-nightmare speedruns. Died to trap once in nekravol 2 and chimped out.

Lol, it's very frustrating to play without being able to save anywhere, many missions would require a long drive from one part of the town to another and if you failed, you had to go through that again and again.
