Maybe you should also stop driving before you cause an accident grandpa.
Yes I am very old (early 30s) but in online competitive multiplayer years, I might as well be a dinosaur.
No you're not.
Unless you're planning to become a eSports player you can very well keep playing competitive multiplayer games until you either burn out or become an actual grandfather.
Fuck when I used to play CS with my mates, we would run against guys in their late 40's so often - one of then that we got acquainted with, even let us use his private Team Speak server for 3 fucking years.
A sizeable portion of the Tekken's commuinity are guys that have been playing the games since T3-5 hit the arcades when they were teenagers.
And competive games have multiple ranks based on your player skill you know.
And with age comes experience. You can predict things with more certainty, have a better knowledge of the game's workings and muscle memory allows you to easily perform complex actions.
Even in the professional competitive scene very few rely on their twich skills alone, most of them simply have a great understanding of the game and have the experience to know how to properly act.
For example, I was never good at shooters like my friends were when it came to the actual shooting. But I could get things done as well as they because I had a better map control, I could figure out someone's play style after a few rounds and finally I was better at improvising.
Finally the point of my comment is the fact that even in the most twich heavy games they rarely ask you to perform actions with an above average reaction time. So if you don't even have average reflexes then do yourself and others a favor and sell your car and start using public transportation.
and spends literally 8+ hours every day in a game, getting disgustingly good at it
Only dudes that have a "professional" carrer as an eSports player or streamer spend near that much time playing games.
