>>726090350
This is believable. It's been known for a long time that elderly who play games (of any kind, whether physical or vidya) develop dementia on average a decade later. The key is having something you actually have to think about. Reading also helps this. Basicslly anything but sitting yourself down in front of the TV to mindlessly absorb what's in front of you.

Its fine. My wife smoked pot most of her life and is constantly calling me a know-it-all. I used to get offended, but then I stopped that shit. Now I smoke pot and dont give a fuck.
>>
yeah but it depends
also post that study on the normalfag "follow the quest arrow" games actually causing brain damage
>>
Not reading the study, but it seems obvious that actively engaging in something, even if it's as basic as a video game, is better at keeping you sharp than what most people do (watch TV and scroll social media)

Literally any game that requires a reaction from you. Aiming, platforming, puzzle solving, etc. As long as you're actively thinking or using a small amount of brain tissue to do something, then you're doing good. They've shown this works to help make and keep connections for your reflexes and reaction time, and it even helps reverse some of this shit later in life.

I can't imagine being 80 and not playing video games, assuming I'm not at deaths door and have alzheimers /dementia.
Man I feel bad for elderly people who don't know the joys of vidya and just spend all day staring at a tv watching ads or out a window

The goal is to learn a physical skill or hobby before then to keep you occupied. You should doing light projects as a senior like upcycling furniture or widdling wood into animals or something to stay sharp.

Those guys are miserable fucking losers. It makes me wonder what they did for fun growing up and how they lost that joy. A lot of the old people in my family just gamble, drink, smoke, and watch TV. Have these fuckers never heard of a gym, practicing art, reading books, etc.? They just sit there and fucking rot watching shitty TV. What type of life is that

Your reaction time doesn't actually degrade by much over time by more than a few tenths of a millisecond. Often what's more important is reducing your mental stack.

You just described my aging boomer father who is now addicted to doomscrolling instagram reels and watching shitty b action movies on netflix despite not liking them. All day it's fox news blaring with shitty six second AI videos simultaneously destroying his brain. At night, it's some garbage movie before he goes to bed early and repeats the process the next day.
>>
>>726095161
>drinking
Actually ruins your brain
>porn addiction
Not harmful but if you got this, you're probably fucked up in the head and need good psychological assistance
>scrolling phones
Does nothing, but literally nothing, you don't improve, you don't learn anything new, you're trapped in the retangle attention trap
>coffee
Probably ruins the brain
>being overworked by your job/career
Ruins your everything
>weed, tobacco, vaping etc
Ruins your everything and half

>Drinking
People have been complaining about alchohol abuse for centuries
>porn addiction
That's not a "proper" addiction in the way meth and heroin are so they wont count it since you can't OD on jerking off
>Scrolling phones
doomscrolling is the term and they bitch about it contstantly
>coffee
Stimulants are one of the bandaids keeping this civilization afloat
>being overwoked
they also write articles complaining about that but never solutions
>weed tabacco vaping
For weed see the masturbation one its literally the same thing. Tabacco they've been trying to ban for 40 years and vaping is facing similar crackdowns

Let's just say a certain kind of game is exempt...
>>
>>726090767
Games that require you to think/problem solve + games that require fast reaction times.

I dont think anything combines both, so a mix is good.

>>726093686
my dad is disabled and stuck at home most of the time and has never touched games in 20 years. just watches tv. i think he just hates nerd shit honestly. and had to endure me and my brother both being huge nerds, sucks.

It obviously makes sense. Games are intellectually hard and constantly novel. Even the young gamers have a hard time finishing games or playing them on hard difficulty, so an older person doing it is impressive.

I think a lot of people underestimate old people, even they themselves. They have all the time in the world to do things, so they can learn a lot if they actually want to. A lot of them just fuck themselves over by thinking games require good motor skills from watching their grandchildren play or they think they can't learn anything anymore after 70 for some reason.
>It's just worth it to start to learn anything at my old age
Shut up, you have a good chance of still living another 20 years with all the free time you could want.

That's why I prefer single-player games. The shame of being labeled a pussy/carebare is outweighed by the dangers of a heart-attack waiting to happen.

games made me an hyperinfantilized irresponsible manchild
i don't mind it cause i enjoy it but it's a reality and it applies to most of my friends that still have gaming as their main hobby in their 30s.
No career, avoiding building a family like the plague, hate kids, only looking for casual sex, spend all the income in gadgets. We are all basically 17 years old with better spending power. At least we are happy. I wonder if our mindset will ever change
