Has your old age affected your gaming prowess in any way?

recently i bought a vertical mouse because of my wrists.

Sex with Peridot

Nah. I was born bad at video games. I will die bad at video games.

>>720685778 (OP)
Idk about everyone else but i cant play cs2 because I can't see the enemy at long distances.

my execution in fighting games used to be gawdlike and now I'm a remedial yolo mashing bum

No. I sucked at vidya as a kid and only got better as I grew up.

>>720687073
You still suck at video games, retard.

SEXOOOO

>>720689058
peridot is pure

If anything I continue to get better at games in my 30s due to overcoming mental blocks from various anxieties in my younger days.

>>720690451
shit, I just got worse at everything

>>720690967
you probably just mellowed out and stopped caring, getting "into" anything is a stressor. Be careful about avoiding stress though, it can be even worse than too much stress.

>>720691045
daily I have a lot of both somehow. Not sure how to put it into words

>>720691096
then put it into a fully automatic rifle, take an elevator ride into the 32nd floor of the Mandelay Bay hotel, then let your instincts do the rest

>>720691268
everybody can use a little bell tower therapy

>>720685778 (OP)
Don't post SU on /v/, it's giving me the heebie-jeebies.

>>720685778 (OP)
I stopped playing fighting games because the ones I like hurt my hands too much and I'm not willing to play the shitty ones. It got to the point where I was soaking my hands in hot water for 10 minutes before loading up fightcade. Fast input keyboard games are also troublesome (like micro dodging in 2hu) but I still play those. Despite this I am still better at games than 99.99% of /v/.

I got my first Dead God in Isaac in 628 hours a few months ago.
I absolutely have the capability to both complete Super Meat Boy's dark worlds without dying (except DW Cotton Alley fuck that shit) in one sitting and FC Through The Fire And Flames on GH3 but I genuinely just can't be fucked to grind those out. Both of those would take at least a few hundred hours each and honestly I'm not dedicated enough.

>>720685778 (OP)
i also tried a vertical mouse cuz of wrist pain and honestly i felt it made it worse

>>720694635
>I got my first Dead God in Isaac in 628 hours a few months ago
But anon, that's a baby game. Why did you spend 600 hours in a game it's borderline impossible to lose in. This is like bragging you have all the achievements in skyrim. SMB is similiarly hyper casual and I don't even know what GH3 is.

>>720694870
post your Tainted Jacob progress

>>720685778 (OP)
I've come to terms that I can't meet half second reaction checks in fighting games.

>>720685865
fpbp

>>720695109
I don't know what that is since I stopped playing the game in 2018 and deeply regret all my time spent on it. You know whats more challenging that farming steam achievements for hundreds of hours in boring games? 1cc'ing any shmup.

>>720695690
Putting 280 hours in a game you found no enjoyment in is absolutely psychotic and indicative of mental illness, please seek help.

>>720696048
It's almost like taste changes over time and I'm 7 years wiser. When Isaac initially came out there wasn't much like it, the bulk of this time was before even nuclear throne released. I'm telling you, 7+ years in hindsight, what I wish I would have spent my time on instead.

>>720686376
At what distance? de_nuke garage to T sniper spot far? de_mirage top mid to window? Do you mean you can't headshot them (which is understandable), or you legitimately can't process it visually?

>>720685865
this but the one from jewelpets

>>720696302
Why even bring Nuclear Throne up when Repentance+ is just as difficult?
Why are you even looking to twin-stick shooters if what you want in a videogame is raw difficulty?

>>720685778 (OP)
I'm about as skilled as I ever was in terms of coordination, reflexes, dynamic problem solving, etc, but I'm almost 40 now, and with a decade of natural loss of testosterone that starts to hit you after your 30s I've found myself no longer having an interest in pvp and instead developing more of an interest in casual, "comfy", and co-operative games.

>>720696621
>Why even bring Nuclear Throne up when Repentance+ is just as difficult
Lmao no it ain't, and it's not just difficulty, it's downtime, and Isaac is 90% downtime 10% having to pay attention.
>Why are you even looking to twin-stick shooters
I told you to play shmups

Recently learned I have tunnel vision, makes it impossible for me to anticipate enemies that fly in from off screen. Completely ruins certain games

>>720694870
>This is like bragging you have all the achievements in skyrim.
which would make him better than over 97% of the people who played skyrim

>>720685778 (OP)
I've only improved

>>720696898
>Lmao no it ain't
You've never played either game. Should have expected that from /v/.

>>720697212
Why would it? The elder scrolls series is such a collection of non-games that having all the achievements however many hours doesn't mean you're better or more knowledgable about the game than the guy who used it to jerk off to furry porn for 2000 hours. It just means you wasted more time on a crappy boring game learning nothing.

so the goal of these threads is to find other faggots to erp as anime girls with in discord right?

>>720697390
Huh? I posted evidence of playing both games

>>720697353
Same, I need to nerf myself with alcohol because otherwise i just dominate everyone and it's not fun.

Age hasn't slowed me down one bit.

>>720685865
Rape with anyone who can name a character from Steven Universe.

>>720698570
Good morning sir.

Not really, probably because I make more money to get better gaming hardware now. However I always used a trackball due to wrist issues and lately in certain games like CS:GO people keep saying my aim is weird getting me banned from servers despite not even playing good.

>>720685778 (OP)
I bought Silksong and so far my brother played it more than me. I have literally no desire to play the game I bought having in my mind the idea that I would play it.

>>720685778 (OP)
I got a bit better at it.

>>720685778 (OP)
Liking Peridot makes you old? I thought Steven Universe ended recently.

Anyone played Save the Light or Unleash the Light? Are they any good?

>>720691096
>daily I have a lot of both somehow
Your stress tolerance scales with how much stress you face. If you have a miserable and monotonous life you will be permanently exhausted and peak stress despite doing the bare minimum.
Force yourself to do uncomfortable shit. Study for half an hour, clean your room, go on a jog. Despite putting in effort when you have none left to spare, you will finish with more energy than you started. From there it's a matter of momentum.

>>720685778 (OP)
Not really. I'm mostly just bored of most games as all of them through no fault of there own are based on the same skeleton that rarely do I find a game unique enough to grab my attention long enough to actually engage with it proper leading to me playing worse. I do not play multiplayer games, that's aids.

>>720694870
I've gotten all the achievements in Skyrim multiple times, and last time I grinded to 1 million gold on vanilla. Yes I'm a better gamer than you.

>>720690451
You chose the most jobbiest man alive to portray your growth to ever exist anon. Even Jack would have been better.

>>720685778 (OP)
I got two shmup 1ccs since I stopped drinking and smoking every day. Maybe I'll give fighting games another go.

>>720697509
>Why would it?
you can literally look up the completion rate of steam cheevos. there are several in skyrim that less than 3% of players achieve. if you complete 100% of achievements in skyrim, you are objectively, factually better than over 97% of people who played the game.

i'm not sure why you're being a seething, pants-shitting anime tranny about this.
