do you feel that you're less skilled compared when you were a kid?

[csanjuro]

I feel that my skills has been dulled by becoming older, do you feel the same?

i think the only thing that's gotten worse for me are my nerves while gaming...

I was a happy, optimistic child who treated everyone with respect, but as I grew older I lost hope in the world.I felt what was happening. I kept feeling lonely after I got older; nobody cares anymore about someone who has a youngest child in the family now.

I always think they have because I tell myself that I don't like fast-paced games anymore, but I seem to prove myself wrong when I do play them.
I guess I still have a few good years of pro leet haxxor gaming left in me

Nope. I always get better. What I lost is patience for boring games further. I'm not interested in playing every game "all the way in" anymore, I barely use 0.1% of my power while when I was young I would give it my best unless I rarely find a fun game to play to go all out lol.

still got it! but my patience wears thin with games and im no where near as persistent as i was
i give up easily these days

Aside from some issues with my joints that limit the amount of time I can spend per session of playing really input-intensive games I haven't noticed much degradation, but I definitely have way less patience.

Back in the day I would just hunker down and chip away at a challenge until I eventually got it right, but these days I find myself getting annoyed much quicker. Which honestly bothers me and I am working on changing it, but it's definitely a thing.

Some have dulled, some have gotten much sharper.

I particularly notice a distinct lack of patience for strategy games and a much heightened skill for sports and action-oriented games, which I find interesting because you'd think it'd be the other way around.

Well when you put it that way, why I play anything on PC keyboard is because after breaking my right hand like thrice I can't use any gamepad comfortably anymore. My left hand only suffers from older age I guess. For example the damage done after playing a game via PlayStation 2 gamepad for 12 hours now happens to my left hand when I play a game for like one hour. My hands are too big for gamepads designed for kids and I know no gamepd designed for man-sizes so keyboard is the way lol!!! Only in that context to prevent damage I sometimes don't go too wild playing games anymore and it reduces my skill yep.
