For me it was the Doom reboot. I discovered my twitch reflexes just weren’t what they used to be. Now I play only strategy games if anything at all.
I know what you mean I thought that too but I think it was more the way you move in the reboot. I went back and played old school quake and quake 2 and still had it.
Ah, OP makes more sense now. I’ve only ever played strategy and RPGs and was going to say I’m better now than I’ve ever been.
Honestly, going 27 years (of gaming), and I never was smarter and quicker to make tactical decisions. My hand may move slower, but I don’t rely on dexterity when flanking your cover.
And other gaming skills, only better.
Tried Ark the other day, looked awesome. So much damn micromanaging and juggling. Just nope
It can be fun if you ignore the breeding and dinosaur related stuff
15 minutes to build a simple 4x4 shelter and tame a dodo. Raptor appeared in my tiny peninsula, killed my dodo, wrecked my house, and almost killed me. I’m too old for that crap.
Strategy and turn based RPGs FTW!
Idk I keep hitting full combos in my favorite rhythm games
The best part, I’ve never been competetive so I never tested myself, but sure as hell I am getting currently better at gaming.
Mostly because I am finally fighting off a list of mental shit I picked up growing up so my mind is growing cleaner and hand is becoming more sure. xD

For real?
Jokes on you. I never had the skills to begin with.
Have to relate to this somewhat, it’s hard to find time or interest to practice fighting games with all the accumulated responsibilities of being responsible adult and a parent. While boomer reaction time checks are one thing, the bigger problem is having to practice against multiple different matchups in 3-4 different games. Probably should play these online a lot more, currently mostly playing on locals few hours once a week.
This is the real reason to have kids. I’m not up on the Mario Kart meta, but I’ll whup my seven year old around rainbow road any damn day.
Getting there. I’m introducing my oldest (3) to all the Mario games now.
Super recommend Mario and the Rainbow Stars! It’s a free fan game with a ton of fun moments. They’ll have fun watching, and you’ll get something new to keep your interest.
Never heard of that one, but will look it up. Thanks!
I was never that good…and then I got old. Still enjoy gaming though.
Same here, mid 50s, was never better than average - I’m now mediocre
59 years old today and still in denial.
From Atari’s Combat, through Tribes, and now Helldivers, the gaming goes on. There may come a day when I put away my mouse and controller …
BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!
late 30’s and I’ll still whoop your ass at Street Fighter 6 or The Finals
never was all that good, but declining coordination and a desire to quit investing time/money playing games made me stop. Asynchronous social interaction is more my speed now. also gave away my guitars for similar reasons. quit driving last year. if you are still having fun, keep going. I can still type, sort of.
Fine, my kids can beat me at Rocket League sometimes now, but they still can’t manage their duchies and bloodlines for shit in Crusader Kings.
