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.

Absolutely.

I'm 42, and I've noticed a very marked degradation in my reflexes and precision. In first person shooters, for example, it takes me noticeably longer to acquire a target, and I've gotten a lot worse at predicting movements and leading targets. It's like my hand simply refuses to do exactly what I tell it to do.

It's frustrating, but unfortunately it's just part of life.
