I wasted the vast majority of my childhood playing UT, Quake, and TFC on a dial up modem having a blast, and now I walk on to a server and wind up in the bottom 20% of points.

are you me?
36.
I mainly play IIDX and I still generally have a new song record with each daily session. Sometimes I have a gap of several years between the records, and the increases may be very minimal at times, but they still get surpassed.
I guess the key is to find one game to play at least every single day which demands quick responses.

I'm fucking 35 and still do pretty well in fps. Earlier today there was a /v/ rocket league server and I did pretty darn good and you guys were good competition.
There isn't much of a degradation as you think with age. Any I've encountered I've compensated by playing smarter.
Once again, I'm old.
I found that outside of video games, my physical capabilities have only looked more impressive as I got older.
In high school you are just pitted against the best. Assuming you tried you still learned something or became strong even though you were getting your ass handed to you.
So long as you kept trying, as you progress in life people stop trying, or those who never tried realize that if they don't start fixing their terrible bodies they'll die - and you're well ahead of them. And to them, which make up the vast majority of the population, I appear to be absurdly fit with inhuman endurance even though throughout my youth I was considered very average.
I was called to run a 10km run for charity representing my company (it was fucking day out of the office) - I can't tell you how weird it felt being the only person who wasn't fucking dead by the end of it.
>>335427161
Every night, I can feel my decaying vision... and my arthritis... even my slowed reaction time. The body I've lost... It won't stop hurting. It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?

Jesus, I do 3 sets of 3 lifts 2 times a week, and have been from like 22 onwards. At 27, people feel like babies to me. My girlfriend did 4 GHD's, and was complaining today she couldn't sit up. Unweighted I do 60-80, with a 25 lb plate i do 30.

Either way I haven't noticed much of anything. I have a lot more fun playing online now then I did in my 20s
Probably because I have a good job, girl, and a decent life. That might help add some sort of peace element into my life so I don't rage or get mad at games anymore. A lot easier to play online when you're not constantly sperging about shit.
>>335427606
Buying powdered caffeine and a milligram scale is the cheapest way. You can get a Gemini-20 for like $30 that's accurate to within a few milligrams. Pure caffeine tastes like shit though, the worst bitter medicine tasting shit ever. That's why they put so much sugar in energy drinks.

Often I feel like I hustled throughout my early 20s/late teens just to coast through the rest of my life. At least your back/neck only hurt in the mornings, my stretching and high rep/low weigh exercises are doing very little to mitigate the damage I've dealt to my shoulders via poor posture.
Dang this almost became a blog post, I got shit to figure out.

I started drinking it as soon as I got an office job. I regret it immensely. I do actually enjoy the taste of it though but drinking coffee all day then coming home and drinking booze to deal with the suffering cannot be good for my heart.
>>335421394
this probably only an issue if you're a top player at something, because being an average/ high average(depending on game and mood/luck/etc...) gamer i really don't feel much of a difference. if anything, i feel i've gotten better considering most games i ever had trouble with before are a lot easier now.
or maybe it's because i never liked ultra-fast like twitch shooting in the likes of UT or such so i don't see the gap.
i don't mind that much though. if i manage to get old while retaining my hair, my sight, my general good disposition and my ability to actually understand and play games i'm a happy man.

Can confirm, was the best 3-4k I ever spent. I'm a retard and the biggest reason I got it was because i freaked out when I kissed a girl while wearing my 300$ glasses. 300$ was more important to me than any kiss, and I didnt like that.

Heavy lifting is not impressive to people because so many weak people can do it. It's so common to have bursts of strength from anybody. And nobody cares if you're the only person not whining about lack of pain the next day because everyone else overexerted.
It's the endurance that impresses people. The fact that you're still standing and making no noises with a mostly full water bottle at the end of it all. When I was young that is all I ever strived for - to be standing and not sound like a cancer-addled smoker at the end of it all.
I learned it's the same with sex. People are generally weak and for lots of people the expectation is that nobody can physically hack it. So the sheer fact that you fuck someone to exhaustion is just mindblowing to them if they're not as remotely fit as you. Consider that most people cannot hold a conversation while running due to lack of fitness; the same reality applies to sex - and it's worse when it comes to sex when you're not able to have the breath to talk while fucking.
>>335429136
I've had it and didn't abuse it.
I had a brain injury my sophomore year of college and they prescribed it to treat my sequelia. It didn't help much, if at all, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though, I've been trying to work through it for about a year to no avail.
This is getting bloggish but I suppose this is a bit of a personal life thread. Suffice it to say that it's hard to convince friends and loved ones you have an issue when your life looks good on paper.
>>335429136
I think Ritalin is the better choice because it's not so euphoric and prone to abuse. If you take too much ritalin you just feel uncomfortably jacked up and jittery. If you take too much adderall you feel superhuman.

Oh well then...unless your controller feels busted or something then your skill just decreased due to the casualizing of gaming and getting older like most of us
explain how middle-aged fightan players still place top all the time
>>335428212
it's the games. it gets evident if you go back and play some stuff like old super marios (1,2,3, lost levels, world, 64) or DK country up to 3 and realize how much fucking fun they still are, how challenging yet fair they can be even for an older gamer and how they can still suck you in despite the graphics being beyond dated at this point.
i still enjoy games a lot, but i feel like the market as a whole is in a bit of a slump recently excluding technological advances.of course liking tactic RPGs a lot doesn't help given how little the genre is explored.

you know what sucks? This site literally gave me a "cucking" phobia. Randomly I'll have thoughts of "What if she's randomly fucking guys behind my back?". My fault for not leaving this place.
It's also pretty unlikely since she's in school and working, and spends every other free moment with me, and gets sad / anxious if we dont.
Honestly, I'm 25 and almost 26 now. It's not that I lack time to play games so much as I simply don't have the energy to invest in high intensity games at the same level that I used to.
As a result, my gameplay style has shifted to accommodate. I've gone from twitch-shooting, lone warrior tryhard to strategically-thinking, corner-hiding ambusher. I seem to gravitate more to weapons that involve leading enemies now, rather than lining up perfect headshots or gat gatting bodies.

If you marry a woman for 40 years, try to imagine that she's never cheated on you. Does it feel unlikely, so deeply that thinking about the odds makes you cringe and turn away from the possibility?
Yeah, probably because she's going to cheat on you and vice versa at some point. Marriage is probably more about learning to handle/ignore infidelity than it is about trying not to stick your genitals against someone else's, senpai.

If what you're saying is true, you're part of a pretty rare slice of the population. I doubt you have the prognostication or saavy to select only for members of that same slice, so I'd venture to guess this fact lowers the odds that your partner is also the type of person to be solicited for sex and to turn it down.
Also the idea of using your 3 years together (or whatever, 5, 7, anything short of 10 is pretty insignificant) as a representative sample of your future lives together is pretty amusing.
All that said, good on you for being a decent fucking person.

get off the estrogen you fucking faggot you will feel better
I'm 31 and don't feel anything off, if anything I'm more astute than I've ever been, I am more critical of myself now and can find flaws in my play better than ever before, previously I would just do and let my mind and body do it all on auto. I can improve much more swiftly nowadays. Then again, I've always been quick, so I've got an edge on most people. I've got farther to fall, so even if I start slipping it'll be a while before I hit the ground.

That said, I'm patently miserable. So at least we're miserable together, though we both know that means nothing.

I find it absurd how insane performance increases you get from strengthening your core muscles, and stretching a little.
A lot of people have back pain, or stiff shoulders, and all it takes to fix them is 20 reps morning and night or like 2-3 exercises to get rid of it.

Oh, it hasn't been 3, its been like 10 months.
There's a shot she wont ever cheat. She has pretty bad social anxiety, we only started dating because she mentioned to her friend I was cute and her friend told me to hang out with her.Before seeing me, she dated a man 18 years older than her for 1.5 years, and they didn't have sex. A bunch of people thought he was gay. I would say bullshit and she's trying to be pure for me, but she's admitted to doing other shit with past boyfriends.
My reflexes are and always have been dog shit but otherwise my coordination has gotten better as i enter my late 20s, despite my alcoholism and physical labor jobs. I'm more aware of my body today than i was the day before every time i wake up.

Seeing how there are still games that cases me to get lost? I think its the games.
Its amazing feel when you get a new game, and you actually drown in it.

Depends on the assisted-death laws in your country. If your country is good for it you can set aside documentation before you're crazy that will allow you to die.
Unfortunately, the way it seems, in most places you can't lay down that legal document until you have a doctor that has diagnosed the early stages of your suffering, thus proving your suffering. If you're not suffering now, it seems like you can't fucking put that desire on paper because you have no idea what it will be like.
That being said, Terry Pratchett was forbidden from killing himself in his own country. So he made a documentary where he found people who took a "vacation" to Sweden to get doctor-assisted death. The only thing I have to point out is that all those people had family and friends help them in their debilitating state. It seems like in order to achieve doctor-assisted death you have to actually have friends and family help you.

So she's one determined, attractive young man away from a sly grin, wink, compliment, and fuck?
I used to think like you too (about girls with anxiety/"pure" girls), man. The fact is that innocence doesn't equate to goodness, in fact it precludes sincerity. Innocence is merely a lack of opportunity to fail.
I hope it works out better for you. Obviously I'm bitter as fuck.
Those reaction games on how fast is your reaction time has only gone up .02s. I'm 29 in a couple of months.

Probably for understandable reasons.
I need the pure shit to stay alive, I was one of those bitter dudes who thought women were whores just trying to fuck their way to success. I've worried about that with this girl, but I've been wrong at every turn.

Surprised how well I can still pickup Titanfall and Splatoon tho. Only thing I've noticed is I can't deal with games anymore I'm not having fun with. I'll drop a mediocre or shit game in a heartbeat, it's kind of killed my ability to enjoy games with friends when they want to play the latest meme Steam game or moba.

No you idiot, it's the other way around, marriage as an institution has nothing to do with your personal happiness, it is there to ensure the stability of society and raise children not to be broken shits because they only had one parent.

Those feelings haven't really come back for me either. You really need to do new things to get that kind of joy. I found it in late night running with a bro, metalworking in his backyard with a home made forge, drinking beers and pounding steel.
Also had that major love thing happen to me a few times. Had a crush on a girl from age 4 to 16. When she discovered I had a crush on her she said she almost puked.
Second girl was literally the girl I described when people asked what my dream woman was like. Her going on 2-3 dates with me and dropping all contact was some of the most painful shit that lasted for years. It goes away if you let it. But those occasional dreams of her actually loving you, wanting to hold you close, and make love to you, will haunt you forever.
>>335429425
I know this is going to sound /r9k/-like but I tend to just be in my own world and explore parts of the city by myself. I'm just like a child doing stupid shit like tittering on thin obstacles, having these mini adventures and enjoying myself as I go along. It helps a lot when you ignore the drama and crippling depression of life, alongside having no friends. It's my own way of ignoring the problems in life.
Sometimes I'll just go to a random movie all the way at the opposite of where I live and then just take a bus in a random place and start walking. Near bridges, staring at the sea.Thinking about stuff. My family, my life. I'll walk to empty hospitals, places with no human's business being there at 4 in the morning. Everyday I hope I get a random disease that kills me shortly, or a car hits and kills me. I know the adventuring will stop being fun someday, but so too will life and its endeavors.

Actually, I find it the opposite, anon.
Every game I played is filled with shitters and casuals.
I'm always in the top 3 players of BF4 matches, etc.
The only people that beat me are fellow autists or clanstacking fags that go 2v1 in a different type of vehicle or strategy (notable, the attack helicopter in BF4. when two autists come together, you must be wary about wandering in to TV missle zones).
1v1? Just hope it isn't someone younger than me.
Also, not autistic, if you're going to imply. Just always had good twitch reflexes for FPS shooters, arena or modern (gunplay).
I'm 28, been here for 11 years now. I just wish I spent less time on 4chan, rather than videogames.

That feel is what prompted me to creating stuff. I simply want to make vidya just to see if I can create something that I like, something that makes me want to live each and every day, like how videogames did for me back when I was a kid, instead of living in this filth. I know my way around UE4, but actually making that vidya and jizzing myself and finally feeling happiness is fucking impossible because it's not something 1 fag can do without starving to death.

>>335431770
>wanting to be pitied
What in the fuck is this shit?
Pity is pretty much the same as getting looked down upon
And pretending to feel guilty/sympathy about somebody else's situation when you can never understand them is one of the things I hate the most
True story
I had a kid in my school once whose dad died when he was little and everybody pitied him except me
I treated him just like anyone else and didn't pretend to feel sorry or anything about him because I really couldn't put myself in his situation
We sort of(kind of) became friends(not really close but we talked here and there)
Dude was weird as fuck...acted really girly and mostly hanged out with girls
He was that sort of "annoying guy" you liked to make fun of..and I treated him like shit when he was doing things that I thought were annoying and always lectured him and shit
Fast-forward some time and his mom dies too
His uncle(or something) kicked him out of the house later
He shows up drunk at my house asking me to let him stay but we really couldn't let him since there was no place in our small apartment
The next day another friend of mine tells me showed up at his house after leaving mine and that he introduced him to his "boyfriend"
In that moment I realized that he counted on me first and that I was the only one to treat him with respect and didn't pity him when I previously thought I was just being a jerk to him because he was annoying(which he was but that's not why I was treating him that way I was just showing him my real self instead of lying to him)
>>335434194
