On Silksong and the Woes of Ageing
As made clear by the past few days, Silksong is forcing us oldfags (26+) to confront a harrowing truth: we're too old for this shit! Our reaction times and tolerance just aren't there anymore. It ain't like the Metroid days no more. There's two reactions to this epiphany: seething denial, and the humble acceptance - or, in easier terms:
The Sore Shitter:
>whinges, whines, no friend of mine
>will never know himself
and
The Shore Sitter:
>peacemaxxing
>accepts his mortality
Me? I like the quiet life (and emulating Metroid lol)
Zoomers (or as I like to call them, the inheritors of the earth), I hope you have fun and ignore the sore shitters. And stay off my lawn!!

You're just retarded. If you were intelligent, then you would have faster reaction times and not even need to use your reaction time. Predict.

I never was too smart honestly, hell it took me 7 games to figure out why I kept losing in Tetris! You're not supposed to let the blocks hit the top, you just keep stacking them as long as possible

im 32 and having a blast
really enjoying getting home from work, playing 2 hours of skong, then go walk the dog, eat dinner, play another hour.
im halfway through act 2 and the only part i got stuck on for any long stretch was the cog core blade pogo, because i forgot i could slowfall.

i think you're just looking for an excuse to dislike the game beyond it expecting you to keep trying, since if you dont get an excuse then its your own fault for not continuing.

You know the phrase use it or lose it? Well, you lost it. You're mind is as sharp as you make it, no matter how old you get.
The upkeep however, is what eventually makes you dull. You gave up. You sat down on the shore. You never got back up.

Your reaction times are fine, you're suffering a vitamin deficiency that's lowering them because your diet is shit.

33 here. Struggling cuz I was never good. My hands get panicky and start to shake from adrenaline when I'm doing well with a boss and I'll forget which way I'm facing and dash into them. I used to just try over & over, but I dont have that free time in my life anymore.

I'm 39 and finding the game fine, you can keep your reflexes for a really long time if you play challenging vidya, exercise and eat healthy

I am 6 years older than you and I'm having no issues at all. I also routinely boss twitch-kiddies in online shooters. It's not about age at all, it's about experience and practice.
