Loss of reflexes/dexterity/patience as I get older.

get off my internet and weed my garden young wimper whiners. Jasper puts on his bifocals and wonders how he can tell people off with this inter net thingy. It just sounds like you just don't play as much. Or just don't have great dex. I am 50 and I always
sucked at reflex games.

 

Even getting arthritis at 47 is quite unusual.

 

It's more responsibilities getting in the way for me. My reflexes have slowed a little at 29...but it's barely noticeable.

The issue is that I use to sit in class 2-3 hours a day, go to my apartment and game. Now I work outside 6 days a week. I'm tired after work. But if I didn't have responsibilities and sat around most my day I would be bored out of my mind and beast on
cod all day.

The first week ghosts was out I took a vacation. I had a 4.8 KD in tdm, was top 3k in snr and had a 7+ w/l playing tdm and snr solo. I laid around like a kid and tore it up.

After work I seem to get frustrated much easier and struggle to have the same focus/twitch.

I also think cod has taught people to expect instant gratification. I use to love playing games where I died over and over until I finally beat it. Now it's just people rage quitting, making excuses, boosting, hacking, ect.

 

Nothing new. I figure it's a combination of two things. The person getting old and IT getting old. Since your 22, I would suspect the latter, but you could be ahead of the pack on slowing reactions. Maybe it's reversible. Hitting the bars a lot on weekends?

 

I have seen my reflexes decrease with age. I'm not as good at online multiplayer as I once used to be. It could be the case that I no longer engage in friendly rivalries with my real life friends, being that we're all grown up and we parted ways, but I'm
not sure.

 

If someone is feeling old and losing reflexes in their early 20's, by the time they are 50 they will be using a walker and adult diapers.

 

Could it be that games like Call of Duty have lost their luster over the years? I don't know. I feel like I'm a bit better than I was like 10 years ago. I'm 24, but I would never say I'm a pro or anything. Yeah I may have lost some touch in some games, but
I feel like I am mostly on the same level.

I'm sure as you get older, your mind takes a bit longer to get there, so maybe.

 

You're just out of form OP. Happens to everyone who stops or limits the amount of time they put into something. It's just working the rust off and you'll be back to where you were.

 

Dude at 22 you still a youngin. Have you been checked for neurological damage of and sort? Not being a jerk asking for real. I was born with NF type1 but main symptoms did not hit till I was 25. Had to quit a lot of things I loves. I had to walk away
from skateboarding at the time it was finally being respected. I have all kinds of reflex, temper, anger, memory though my IQ (tested last week) is 138. I can sit there with a controller in my hand for hours anymore and not play so I feel ya. At 22 your
mind is developing brain cells fast then normal. Unless your severly offsetting that. At 25 -27 you start to lose brains cells. Seriously do what I do. It's automatic for me now but walk into a mental hospital and they will give you an extreme exam. Health,
MRI's, IQ, Schiczo and so on. Good luck and I'll check in on ya. I'm 1 of few that still care.
