>>34617Is it possible you just got old and don't play as much? Plus games change over time, I'm still good at Battlefield and similar games but hopeless at Fortnite clones, the time to kill is just too long and I get panicky

without any data to back it up I'd wager that kids play (read; practise) more nowadays. The industry itself has grown a lot sicne the 2000s, so has online multiplayer games. I used to shit on my friends in halo in local splitscreen matches, was just okay online, and nowadays I'm a lost cause vs these kids on counter strike for example.
