Is it normal to just... fall off, and not be as good at gaming? Because I feel like I've been getting worse for a while now.

I'm 35 and I can feel my self getting worse at video games slowly...but I'm still fighting it haha. I feel like it's normal as we age.

  • We're slower
  • We're older
  • We have less energy after we finally get to play (after chores, when family is asleep, when kids are asleep, when you're finally alone, etc)
  • We have less time to play in general
  • We have more interruptions as we try to play
  • Hands or fingers hurt just from being old or because of work/chores/yard work/etc

Personally, I hate it when people say lower the difficulty. So I've been fighting that for years now..but eventually I know i might have to. For now, as OLD as it sounds, stretching my fingers and doing hand exercises helps a ton. I recommend looking some stretches on youtube and give it a try.

Good Luck old man! :)
