>My reaction time is getting worse and worse
Should I just give up on FPS games?

There are pro fighting game players still playing in their 40s.

Unless you were already good or have fun with them, then yes.

>>712511650 (OP)
unless you're planning on becoming some elite FPS gamer, I don't see why anyone would care about this shit.

But I'm 56, Anon...

Hydrate better and eat your veggies

>>712511650 (OP)
At what age do you reflexes actually get noticeably worse on average?

>>712512654
after 15

>>712512275
that's a good reaction speed, you shouldn't have any issues with it, on top of that keep in mind that you can still train it and that is affected by your current energy and fatigue

That’s when experience comes into play. You gotta know which routes most players will take, which corner to check, which areas to be aware of. That’s the only way to counter failing reaction time. Fighting games help a lot with this because as you play, you start to learn what combo routes most players will go and work around that.

They're not. Unless you're like 60+
Display tech is getting worse and worse, with more input lag as time goes on.

t. 45 year old with reaction times as good as ever.

Unless you do e-sports for a living why would you give a shit?
online games are filled with brain dead people so you'll be better than average regardless

>>712511650 (OP)
if you're some autist thinking you can make it to the top of the esports world or some shit, yes

if you just play for fun and don't mind losing, then just keep playing

>My reaction time is getting better and better
The ringing in my ears is getting louder. I also started hearing whispers and I keep seeing things move in the corner of my eyes
think I might kms

It doesnt matter unless you are playing frame perfect fighting games, if you have the muscle memory to move your cursor on enemy thing out of reflex, you can play fps games

I play cs2 at the ripe age of 34 and i fucking hate russians and russian zoomers so much its unreal

Try an aim trainer or something

i'm so glad i don't possess the normalfag affliction that forces me to play shooters

There are good treatments for tinnitus nowadays

>>712514945
Name some
Please
PLEASE
It wasn't even my fault, I think there's something wrong with my jaw, it started with my left ear and now it's spreading to my right, these ENT guys can't help me
God someone fucking help me please I can't spend the rest of my life hearing that god damn noise

>>712515087
I don't know what my dad did exactly but his was due to hearing loss from loud noises, yours sounds more stress related mate.

>>712511650 (OP)
Modern FPS games are catering to an input method that is only capable of slow, inaccurate camera panning, their corpo-run servers have an abysmal tick-rate and they have a correspondingly low skill ceiling and skill floor.
You will have no problems. You are more likely to have issues with your distance from the server than you are with your reaction times.

>>712515087
Might be stress related. Might I recommend stretching exercises and avoiding food that could put undue pressure on your body? Cut down on sugar and salty garbage, and processed foods. Go for a 40 minute jog every day. Also, may I recommend sleeping with white noise, or some calming music? It'll help your brain drown out the tinnitus.

>>712511650 (OP)
Either that or quit smoking weed. All the Arena Shooter pros are pushing their 50's and their reaction times haven't gotten any worse.

Not everyone is from Commiefornia

>>712511650 (OP)
Fully cannot imagine still playing multislop in current year, let alone as a mid 30s boomer. I quit all multislop years ago and my stress levels are at an all-time low.

just make your joy for fps revolve around outsmarting your opponent instead of being faster at the draw.

>>712516812
my tinnitus was brought on by stress. i actually remember the exact day I got it. thankfully I like music, so I'm always wearing headphones on really low volume just listening to whatever. it doesn't have to be loud or constant, but it drowns it out almost perfectly. at night, i just leave my phone on pandora playing whatever with the air condition on 24/7. i dont even need the air condition, it just makes noise so i keep it

>>712511650 (OP)
yes

>>712518391
based

Is it over for me?

>>712511650 (OP)
work on your sleep. good sleep determines 90% of your fortnite skill. also creatine.

>>712511650 (OP)
I’ll never forgive /v/ for telling me these games were bad.

>>712521274
na, mines 249 and I do fine in PvP

Reaction speed is affected by your thyroid, so eat shit that's good for it and your reaction times will get better. Mostly though in FPSes you want good crosshair placement more than anything, that and gamesense will be what actually makes the difference if you face off against an Adderallhead zoomer.

>>712511650 (OP)
Just play something fun like 24/7 2fort where good game sense can make up for it.
