>>384008625
Seems like I'll be okay next 10 years

I don't really play twitch shooters or shit that requires extreme reactions. Besides, looks like it's gonna be steady until I'm 40 and by then I'll either be dead or vidya will be brain controlled VR and it won't matter so much.

>>384008625
It was funny watching Fatal1ty hit that wall when he turned 30. But I personally never had any aspirations to be a "pro gamer" with super fast twitch reflexes.

Okay considering this graph isn't total bullshit, which it probably is, what the fuck happens between 15 and 20 and then 20 to 25?

>>384011016
Something to do with puberty I would guess.

>>384008625
Good thing older guys tend to play simulations and strategy games. More about decision making and deep thinking than twitch speed reaction times.

>>384011016

>Okay considering this graph isn't total bullshit, which it probably is

Of course it is. Reaction-based sports/jobs still have people in their mid 40s participating/working them.

>>384011676

Exactly what you're implying. The graph is absolutely fucking irrelevant.

>>384011903
sounded like he was saying the graph is bullshit because people in their 40s still have jobs that require fast reaction time, which the graph would not contradict

This. Hitscan shooters are for monkeys with no strategic ability at all.

Fighting games and MOBAs do rely on reactions to a degree, but those also reward strategy and other factors. Shit like CS:GO are fucking braindead, even the map strategy in competitive is pathetically basic.

Sure, that makes sense. Still, I remember doing this test (or at least a test very similar to it with sheep running across a field or something) when I was 15, and I was able to consistently get sub-200ms. The only thing that's changed is my lifestyle.

>>384016337

I've found it more and more comfy to sit down at the computer desk with a warm cup of black coffee and a grand strategy game. I no longer like fast-paced games like FPSes because they don't really make me think anymore.

Thanks for reading my blog.

>>384008625

this graph is bullshit. reaction time varies from person to person and it doesnt necessarily get worse as you age unless youre suffering from some physical condition. As long as you keep working at it, your reaction time will maintain itself.

>>384008625
I was always worried about this, but goddamn, it looks like I won't have to worry for another 12 years.

But I really shouldn't be too worried as I don't play multiplayer games. I've found myself getting better at video games in my late 20s 'cause I've calmed down a lot. I slow things down in games and figure out how best to react rather than trying to react quickly.

people who play those games are likely to not get worse as they get older because they have been working on them for so long and that is how brain plasticity works. age has nothing to do with declining brain function. If you are healthy you will be sharp until you die.

Yes so the graph in the OP is moot because we wont know until we have some dude who's been gaming for the entirety of his life. But saying that you hit some 'wall' once you hit your 30s is absolutely laughable and nothing but some shit made up to troll people. When you have fighting game players in their 30s going to their 40s still having insane reaction timing, that should tell you enough. Long as you work at it, you dont lose it.
