      I graduated at 28 with my master's degree, half my class was people in early 20's and the other were actual boomers. You aren't some dude in your mid 40's starting a first semester course, you've got your degree and can make moves and shit. Anyone who clowns on you for that is fricking autistic.

        You're not old, most people start getting their shit together in their thirties because time is ticking. You have plenty of time to find a wife and have kids. Keep going bro, we're all rooting for you.

        There was a recent breakthrough in epigentic rebuilding where Harvard scientist successfully accelerated aging in a mouse. You'll probably be seeing medicine within 15 years that can reverse aging. You'll make it bro, just stay alive

      Its like you never read those dark souls reviews to NEVER READ IMAGEBOARDS before playing new souls game. Otherwise people here will spoil you all the content. Unless of course you cant get the game, then of course audience that doesnt play enjoys being spoiled, watching Ganker like a Ganker.

        Whenever you see stats like that in multiplayer games you have to consider whether they include everybody who's ever played ranked or whether players are excluded from the stats when they haven't played for a certain amount of time.
        Games like CSGO and LoL have so many users that a good portion of players either barely play the game or haven't played in months/years

          Maybe, I think CSGO resets their ranks and stuff, because I remember only 6% of players being in Gold Nova Master last time i checked

    pretty sure you were just overestimating your abilities when you were younger and started practicing/playing less as you got older. It's not "im old lmao" its "im lazy i just drink and watch tv and dont play games anymore lol"

      Well it's true I have been playing less videogames, but every game I played when I was younger I was in the top 10% of. I was global in CS and Master in Star Craft 2. Now I'm barely scraping the Nova ranks in CSGO

        You also have to remember that the average player level only goes up on older games. It's an infinite race you just happened to get off the track at one point and a lot of the playerbase caught up to you. If you set a schedule for yourself and took it more seriously than the average zoomie i guarantee you you could reach the top 10% again well into your 30s.

      This tbqh.
      Also you have to understand that skill levels on a game rise over the years.
      I was an absolute killers on Mordhau at the release, having played tons of Chivalry before, mowing through clueless players biting on every feints.
      When i came back to an old duel server i used to go to i realized the average level just increased a lot, most people uses advanced techniques and are now a lot more aware of my tricks.

      Also, maybe it's just a phase, but i can't be bothered with most online games nowadays, i feel like a lot of the charm is lost in most, games get learned and theorized too fast i guess, that or i just channeled my competitive energy toward something else, might be both.

      That's because they're athletes at the peak of physical fitness having to compete with people 10 plus years younger them that are also at the peak of their physical fitness.
      Non-athletes can remain fitter than most people into their 60s if they keep training and eating correctly

    That has less to do with age and more to do with you spending less time playing competitive games.
    The whole thing about reduced reactions times with aging is overplayed. If you're in poor health (bad diet, lack of exercise, drug/alcohol use, poor sleep, etc) that will effect your reaction speed and thinking quite a bit, but with aging, you only decline about 2-6 ms every decade. Most of the time, people just lose muscle memory for the games they used to be good at and just need to practice to get back to where they were at.

      Use blasphemous blade
      Stagger her over and over
      Keep distance
      Run away at even hint of her attack
      After first wave sprint towards her and through her, try to time it right with roll away few times, get lucky she won’t hit you, repeat

        >stagger her
        Many of her attacks have superarmor even if you use a jump attack
        If you try to combo her, she often twirls away after the first 2-3 hits
        If you can’t stagger then you’d be trading blows with her and she’ll just heal off the damage anyway

    Aging is a very slow process of dying.
    Real fricking slow.
    Like kakashi being crucified by sasuke's brother kind of slow.

    its because as a kid you played the same games for hours a day everyday while maintaining an intense interest in doing so. You proabably had 6+ hour gaming seessions like me.
    Let me ask you something how long was your recent gaming sessions hmm? Barely 2 hours I take it? You suck at games because you dont play games as much as you used to simple as.

    I am 33 and I am still very good at games. I just dont care much anymore about games that require actual motor skill.
    Last one I bought was Elden Ring, and still did vastly better than most streamers I see.
    The only game that I would most certainly suck at right now are competitive FPS, but mostly because I am using the cheapest, shittest mouse ever, and I dont even have a mousepad. I use the mouse on my bed. Aiming would be tough but I still could do decently.
