Tfw boomer aim in full swing

tripe

Elderly person here, are you sure your controller isn't just messed up? I have my good days and my bad days...because my controller is absolutely random like that.

>After 30 years of gaming, I fear it's finally time to put the controller down for good
Same. Played since the late 80s. Atari, Amiga, PC, GameBoy, NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Game Cube, PS3, PS4, Switch, but I think that's it for me. I enjoyed Witcher 3, BOTW, Bloodborne, nuDoom, and a few others, but generally I just can't be assed to boot up anymore and prefer to do something 'real' instead.

>Elderly person
What age?

Enjoy getting hard too it wont always work so good

>Used to hang with Yea Forums and play Q3A and UT and shit
>Couldn't really win, but at least kept up and got frags
>Try playing some UT04 for the hell of it

I'm actually I weird genx. My parents were silent so I cant really say what my personal experiance is like. I grew up with some hardcore morals while most of my peers were happy to do anything just to piss off their parents I was in the arcade and doing homework.

This happens to me too now. I'm 33 and about 75% of the time, I can't aim for shit.

I'm 32 and I can aim decently still, but I was never top tier. The main problem I have is that I have no friends to play with, so I just end up not gaming too much anymore. When I was a kid I played games with friends all the time and it was great. I miss those days, it's hard to find friends as an adult.

>1 in 10 games I'm a fucking machine
>most of the time i just enjoy playing support roles and encouraging my zoomer mates to do their best.

Granted, i was never a pro, but even when your reflexes break down, a big part of any game is team morale. If you can keep your bros together, and demolish enemy team morale, it's a victory.

make sure your chair and desk have good ergonomics, look up hand stretches for computer users. take breaks to stretch out your hands. maybe pick up rock climbing.

I'm fucking 32, quit complaining and fucking practice.

Start slow, use a lower sensitivity, get a mouse that's right for your hand size, and practice tracking and flicking drills prioritizing accuracy over speed.

ok rocket jump ninja

What would you prioritize for advice then?

>21
>already feeling boomerdom crawling in
at years 16-19 I was a complete retard who only did what's infront of him but I was good at it
now I delve in depth to behind the mechanics of games but despite that I'm significantly worse at everything.
Also can't stomach playing anything more than 2 hours anymore. Alot of games feel more like chores than real fun and I feel like I'm just making value of what I bought instead of having fun.

It feels bad, bros. Enjoy playing video games zoomerfrens, I envy you.

it only gets worse, develop your social life while you still can or you'll end up like me.

Just play on console. Even if you're mediocre on PC, you'll be above average on console because something like aiming matters less compared to having good game sense. Also, since you're on console, you won't feel at a disadvantage if your PC setup is shit (e.g playing at 60hz).

>boomer
>reaction time slightly decreased
>ability to grasp mechanics considerably increased
the trade off was worth it

problem is I live in literal unironic hell. Playing video games all day is a cope reaction to my surroundings.
I guess I'll just move on to easier entertainment mediums like books and television.

Problem is, eventually you'll get bored of vidya all together and then you're left with nothing. I was the same way and now I can only enjoy vidya when I'm drinking alcohol. Guess what happened? I became a chronic alcoholic.

you are me

Agreed. When I was younger with almost no responsibilities I was able to completely focus on the game and do super well. Now with my wageslave job and other shit to worry about I don't have as much free time to get good. I also get angrier far easier because I feel like I have limited time and I don't want to spend that time losing. I've been thinking about other hobbies to start.

I don't have access to alcohol, I wish I did. I fucking envy you.
guess I'll just kill myself one day. I live in literal dead-end hell. Either I assimilate with these people or I stay isolated.

Fucking this

>Can pull off flickshots like nobodies business
>Shit self and die when I actually need to focus on aiming
Help

>used to play rockband for hours a day with friends when it was still a thing
>mfw its near impossible for any of us to do a song now

I would too if it was easy but I can't think of a good way. I wish the government would just let people kill themselves to put them out of their misery.

>when you're zoomer team mates are grilling one of your team mates for playing video games in their 30's
y-yeah, what a fag

I think i'm just not as competitive anymore, so I don't go balls out trying to aim as hard as I can. I used to seethe and yell when things didn't go my way back when I play CoD, now I just don't care anymore

>was never that good in the first place

I still try my best, but yeah my days of raging are behind me. I guess at least I've matured in one small way after all this time. My anger was replaced with sadness though, so maybe not.

>being grilled by children
lol

>Some tries to shit on me for playing vidya as a 27 year old man
>Threaten to kill them like I'm 14
>They take me dead fucking serious
Fuckin LEL, also if you tell some kid you reported him they instantly go silent in fear of being banned, hilarious how gullible they are

>tfw 28 year old boomer
>in a small mmo guild with a bunch of zoomer cosplay chicks in their early twenties; I got friended by one in a dungeon once and she dragged me into her friend group after a few months
>they're always planning meet ups and shit (we're all ukfags) and ask me constantly to come along and cos with them
>in general I've had more constant social interaction with these people than most people my own age in years and years
It's just too weird lads.

>f you tell some kid you reported him they instantly go silent in fear of being banned
That's because zoomers tend to be incredibly SJW, spineless bootlickers, which manifests in their gaming sense.

I've been banned quite a few times on PSN for calling them 'caping niggers', 'mofo' etc. So obviously they make rapid use of the report function like it's their mommy.

Being friends with someone 5 years younger than you isn't really weird.

You don't have to be more mature than your peers, just more mature than her peers.

haha FUCK BOOMERS
