I’m 35. 10 years ago, I was semi-employed and still living at my parents’ house. I’d get a new game and wouldn’t think twice about spending 8 straight hours learning all the strategies/moves and then having 50 attempts at beating a boss/getting through a specific level. I just don’t have that patience or time now. I got the 2018 GoW game a year ago and was loving the gameplay right up until I had to face a Valkyrie. I died 3 times in a row without even getting her below 50% health and immediately turned down the difficulty. I can still hop on a game of Left 4 Dead Versus or Black Ops Deathmatch, 2 games I played constantly in my late teens and early 20s, and finish near the top of the leaderboard. The ability is still there for games where I developed it, but unless I suddenly double my salary and cut my working hours in half, I’ll probably never get that good at another game again. And that’s ok.
