you also need to control for games. mobile slop games doubt you get much out of it. but take a sample of only people who played puzzle games, or strategy shit. those are top shape.
also sorry to break it to you but if you play shooter games you are still retarded

Yeah, they were wrong about that. Instead, it turns the youth into socially incompetent, brainrotted trannies.

>What do you mean the pathological liars lied?
I wouldn't call them pathological liars. Conservatism is a lack of imagination. They knew something bad was going to happen but how could they have guessed you're going to chop off your own dick?

i just keep the enter key pressed to skip through the text as fast as possible and increasingly can follow the "plot". i somehow keep getting better at it. so, yes.

This is for people who play video games in moderation, if you abuse them they have the exact opposite effect and you can develop ADHD

Fake LLM slop "study". Both of these claims are widely contradicted by a massive amount of prior research.

well I guess you gotta be schizo to be a christcuck so no wonder it is on your mind

Notice how this psychotic patient keeps hallucinating conservatives, christcucks, etc. while repeatedly failing to grasp what the thread is actually about. In my experience, this kind of behavior is positively correlated with time spent playing videogames.

Maybe you can improve your cognitive performance by playing puzzle games that require you to correctly trace the direction of causality?

(Protip: no, you can't.)

lol shooters are the football (soccer for the mentally afflicted) of gaming
>>
>>17054456
Wow, you play THAT? So how come you still don't grasp cause and effect? Intellectual potential is fixed from birth. You can't """improve cognitive performance""" except by using drugs. You CAN ruin it, though. e.g. by sitting your fat beta ass in a gamer chair all day playing vidya like a kiddie instead of doing playing sports games in real life.
>>
>>17053548
I feel like they will have trouble proving cause and effect here controls and sampling bias seem inherent and how do they qualify what counts as a game?

Talos principal 2 is a midwit puzzle game

Fuck off, as bullshit as this garbage twitter screenshot thread is, it would have to be RTS players.
Starcraft makes insane mental demands of players, FPS retards are slamming the squat button 100 times per minute to run 3% faster

Maybe the resident gamers can recommend some spelling game to improve anon's cognitive performance?

The final state of zoomies is grim...

Consistently outclassed by "AI" (mindless, 0-IQ machines).

>FPS retards are slamming the squat button 100 times per minute to run 3% faster
True, but FPS geniuses are playing the meta. Machines still can't compete (except by using aimbots).

Talos 2 along with Road to Elysium expansion are easy to 100%. But Reawakened has three chapters, first two easy to 100%, but last one In The Beginning gonna rape your midwit brain

i wouldn't rate shooters low, in some of them the action is very fast and you need to keep a 3d mental map of everything around you constantly to be effective so keeping a decent amount of game sense takes a lot of brain power if you actually care about winning

nobody said it was intellectual effort, you downie, it just does take a lot of mental skill to keep that many different things at mind at the same time when they keep changing

You're arguing with low-IQ people whose entire idea of intelligence is based on pop culture cliches about what smart people do. And it's not like he's never tried playing a competitive FPS game. He just gets steamrolled but instead of figuring out why he's losing and how to improve, he copes by telling himself the game requires "dumb" abilities (like low reaction time and high mastery of "mechanical" skills - both associated with higher IQ) and goes to play some slow-witted puzzle game designed around average intelligence.

When he plays an FPS game, he doesn't understand, for example, why you always know where he's gonna be and always get there faster. He wanders around the map randomly, like a fly on a windowpane, and assumes that's the best anyone can do in a dumb-people game. Therefore he concludes you're using wallhacks and quits the game in frustration.
