He is right. Playing on easy mode is the way to go when you are over 30
at least he plays games unlike /v/
>>748130856How about just watch a movie if you don't have time to spend playing video games?
>>748131025How about working on your career, your body or your relationships if you want some challenge in your life?
>>748130856Playing Horizon on any difficulty is humiliation enough.
I'm pretty sure it depends on the genre and on how much of a gamer you are.
>>748131025most movies arent good
>>748130856Why do the retarded make these videos?

Good thing I'll never live to be 30 lmao
>>748130856What’s with the wave of aging fat basedboys trying to justify either not playing games, playing crappy games, or cheating/playing on very easy mode??
>>748130856if you don't play on normal or hard you are a casual shitter
>>748131278Sadly THIS. it's insane how 90-95% of movies are absolute GARBAGE.Only the last 20-30 mins of a movie are interesting and the other hour it's a load of absolute bullshit unimportant stuff, such a massive waste of time. You have much higher chance of having a solid experience in any game than most movies
>>748130856
>>748132376It's in pain since its owners removed its fangs. That's why the "funny" face.

>>748132551stage 4 butt cancer?
>>748132551I thought the same thing like 10 years ago
>>748132551Don't fool yourself, you'll keep saying I'll kill myself next year and eventually you'll hit a point where you're on the edge and finally realize that you don't have the balls. Then you'll have to spend the later half of your 20s trying to unfuck your life because you wasted all of your youth coping by being passively suicidal. Neck yourself right this instant or get to work.
Being 30 can't be that bad... right?
>>748130856>+30>Coming back home after a day of work>2 to 3 hours of dealing with you wife and kids stupid shit>2 free hours to do whatever you wantYeah dude, just chill on easy mode.
>>748132794It isn't, unless you've started a family, in which case assume the family sucks up all your time and energy.
>>748132757No.
>>748130856Why are 30 year olds acting like they are 70 year old seniors?
>>748132589How can you tell? I wouldn't put it past Americans as they butcher all their pets for vanity
>>748132794>Being 30 can't be that badit isnt... people acting like your body and mind break down at 30 are either trolls or absolute retards, no middle ground.It's when you hit mid-late 30s that you start to feel the change in more ways than one... 30 you're still solid and young
>>748132794Most people let themselves go because they've been psyop'd into think that once you hit 30 you're old and your body 'begins to crumble.' Which I guess is true for people who don't exercise while drinking alcohol and doing drugs. Or if you have a family that eats up all your time but then again if you're main priority should be your family and not video games.
>>748131278and video games are??
>>748130856I play on PC, I don't need to change difficulty, I just mod it

>>748130856>sony exclusive>gameThat's the real reason he switched difficulty. Its not a matter of video game design, its a matter of story progression. That's not what /v/ is for.

>>748132973Mei Mei is Chinese, and her teeth had already fallen out by the time her owners got her. Cat teeth are extremely prone to rot, especially in strays. They often drop without warning if you aren't actively brushing them (which nobody but me seems to have ever done, but you're supposed to be doing if with them at least once a week like with dogs)
>>748132973I could swear I read about it and saw a pic or a video but I cannot find it so I guess the source is it came to me in a dream.
>>748130856The idea of somebody not being able to survive Horizon on normal difficulty is so appalling it makes me sick.
>>748130856if you're single with no kids life just keeps going on like you're 15 forever

>>748130856>Fat retard never likes a bit of challenge No wayAlso, I notice a lot of "hardcore gamers" play on hardest difficulties but use the most meta shit in the game so the game is essentially still easy. See it all the time.
>>748133468the vid is flipped horizontally
>>748132997People don't exercise and wonder why their bodies are breaking down. Not exercising is the equivalent of telling your body to get rid of muscle
>>748133440I'm so glad I didn't have kids with my ex who wanted them.
>>748133187I will be 37 in December. Enjoy it while you still can.

>>748131278>>748132568There are so many good movies in existence that you could spend your entire life focused solely on watching movies and you still would not have experienced all the good ones.
>>748133468That's the audiophile sound resonance ring, it minimizes inter-bone audio frequencies to ensure only clear sound is being picked up by your inner ear. It's a thing for dad gamers who can afford real audio set-ups, something you wouldn't know anything about.
>>748133512my brain doesn't know how to process how that can work without stuff like the numbers on the clock looking funny
>>748132794Your life is basically over if you start a family and hit 30. Life is split into thirds. 8 hours is work, 8 hours is sleep, and the remaining 8 hours is an inbetween time where you do whatever.8 hours is a lot to do shit though, so even if you have a gf, you can still take her out once or twice a week, usually on a weekend even, and still have plenty of time to yourself.But if you start a family that begins to rot away until eventually you hit your 30s. Most people tend to have kids around their 20s, so your 30s is when your kid(s) will be, you know, kids. They'll have school, and friends, and expectations, and wants, and desires, and it's your responsibility to placate that. So you basically run out of free time (unless you work a meme job where you're remote or just jerk off all day).
>>748131012*watches movies
>>748130856Sorry, I play hard mode because I’d like to avoid dementia.

>>748133063Yes. >>>/tv/
>>748130856This fat loser has probably never touched a game until he hit his thirties and it became mainstream. Just pick a different hobby you fat fuck like exercising. Vidya clearly isn't for you.

>>748130856A reminder for /v/>A survey of 134 participants (46 autistic, 88 non-autistic) found that while almost all were knowledgeable about sex and relationships, only 54.3% of those on autism spectrum knew how to initiate relationships compared to 87.7% of those without autism. Fewer autistic people were in romantic relationships (41.35% vs. 60.2%), and they had lower overall romantic functioning and more stalking-like or persistent courting behaviors [107]. In a study of 129 single adults (61 men, 68 women) with autism without intellectual disability, 53 participants (41%) had never been in a romantic relationship lasting three months or longer. In contrast, 76 participants (59%) had past relationship experience but were not currently in a relationship [66].

>>748134484>>748134607>>748134772Nta, but the PS2 (released 25 years ago) was the best selling console of all time.Resident Evil 1 was so popular that it got a film greenlit the same year it released.The bars people used to hang out in in the 80s were the ones with arcades.Video games were and are mainstream entertainment. Also, the Wii was not "video games becoming mainstream", it was just the first console that boomers (literal boomers, not fantasy ones) were interested in since the Atari 2600 and Colecovision, and that was solely because they could use it to spend time with their grandchildren or whatever.
>>748130856Why not just watch a video of it at that point?

>>748135462>ps2 wasn't the first video game platform, retard faggotThat wasn't what was said dumbass.The PS2 released 25 years ago. It is currently about the midpoint for what video games (proper). It's older than probably most of you getting mad at the idea of games being mainstream.But you want to know what was mainstream? Arcades and Atari. They were exceedingly mainstream.Fucking Pokemon was the most popular cartoon and game at the same time.Sonic had TWO incredibly popular cartoons and he was a faggy cartoon rat.What wasn't popular was mostly being a loser, or being into computer games (which were associated with fucking losers or your dad).>>748135539>>748135602No, here's the thing.Barcades today are a gimmick.Bars back in the day happened to have arcade machines, as an accessory to existing machines like strength testers, love measurements, billiards, pinball. A lot of the ones people frequented in the 80s were the ones that added arcade machines to the lineup, that's why there's a whole fucking Adam Sandler movie (intended for Gen X'ers to take their kids or grandkids to) about Qbert, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong despite releasing in the 2010s.
>>748131025you can do both
>>748135726>>748134341>video games were always mainstream

>>748130856Good god Millennials are making us look so bad again. Millennial writing and now this? It's not an age thing. Actually put effort into how you play. As a matter of fact, YOU'VE ALSO SUCKED AT VIDEO GAMES. DO NOT BLAME YOUR AGE YOU FUCKING FATASS!!!!

>>748135747YesWhat wasn't mainstream was treating video games anything other than glorified board games and dedicating your life to them
>>748135826No.Go on, build a time machine and tell adults in the 80s that you're playing Wizardry or Ultima.
>>748135816And bars (that had existing games and distractions in them) had arcade machines in them. There wasn't some law saying ONLY arcades could have arcade machines until the great reforms of the 2010s allowed barcades to exist, no this is a retarded sentiment. There's probably still bars in your area that have a beat-up Ms Pac-Man machine in there, the same way some still have pinball and and shit despite none of that being popular for bars anymore (most bars, at most, just have billiards now, I've been to one that had one of those weird virtual golf things as well).
>>748133328>'jakGet the fuck out.
41 year old normal master race reporting. I play my games as intended by the devs.
>>748135869Why are you changing the definition of what is considered to be "mainstream" to fit your argument?>Video games first entered mainstream culture in the late 1970s and early 1980s, driven by the explosive growth of arcade culture and early home consoles.>The Rise to Mainstream Popularity>The Early Breakthrough (1972): Atari released Pong, which turned a simple digital table-tennis experiment into a national pop-culture phenomenon.>The Arcade Boom (1978–1983): The release of Space Invaders (1978) and Pac-Man (1980) turned arcades and shopping malls into mainstream social hubs.>Cultural Crossover (1982): Pac-Man broke out of arcades entirely. The novelty song "Pac-Man Fever" hit the top ten on the music charts, and an animated TV series premiered on ABC.>The Rebound and Consolidation (1985): After a major industry crash in 1983 due to market oversaturation, the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) cemented video games as a permanent fixture in modern households.
>>748135869>and tell adults in the 80s that you're playing Wizardry or Ultima.You're comparing playing CRPGs to normal ass normalfag video games, because you're scared to write the same post but with Donkey Kong or Breakout.The reason people thought you were a fag for playing Wizardry or Ultima is because you'd wait a decade for them to load on your PC, reading your 200 page manual while it does so, and then play a game that was perceivably less fun than half the shit on the 2600 and NES.>inb4 "muh NES ports"CONSIDERABLY less gay and nobody gave a shit if you liked Ultima (saying you were playing a wizard game made you a faggot because wizardshit was always viewed as incredibly nerdy and lame).
>>748135906You might've had the odd pinball machine MAYBE, but bars weren't regularly sporting arcade cabinets in them back then Bar distractions back then were typically pool, darts and a small dance floor
>>748136029>CRPGs to normal ass normalfag video gamesOooh, crpgs aren't normal games?
>>74813279430-34 was great for me when I though it would be all ogre. I thought dating younger girls would be harder if not impossible but I actually got more female attention from 18-23 year olds than ever before, to my shock. Then Covid hit and everyone went retarded and it all went to hell and the last 5 years flew by because all I did was watch TV and browse the internet (and gained 20lb during the process) since i became incredibly jaded from watching how absolutely insane, hysterical, and retarded everyone around me became in regards to covid.
>>748136118Not untili world of warcraft and lotr movie
>>748136029You forgot the part were it was text based and you would have to draw your own maps
>>748136118No, the same way faggot fantasy trilogies about furry creatures and SF tech manuals aren't as normal as a mystery or romance novel.The same way independent or arthouse films aren't the same thing as a proper Hollywood film.There are degrees retard, and video games wouldn't exist if the medium wasn't mainstream enough to get investment early on.
>>748132796I wish I had kidsWhen I die everything I own will get distributed among niggers
>>748136220>NoCheck this>yes
>>748132794Nah, one benefit is you begin to appreciate time more and if you're in a good stride in a career or a job Time becomes more valuable than money as you get older. Lots of what I plan and do is based around time and when you learn to balance and make time for what you want to do it makes life much simpler, not easier, just more simple.>t.39y.o
Everything in your 30s and beyond is harder if you're a fat fuck, don't eat right and don't do cardio. 90 percent of your problems are solved if you sort that shit out.
>>748130856Millenials are so lame and old.
>>748130856i hate these fucking faggots like you wouldn't believe. actual scum ruining all of western society. Yes i can tell that from a single video about a game.
>>748131072None of those things are challenging though. Careers and fitness are mostly about consistency, as is raising kids. A relationship is about finding someone you can deal with and not being a dick. Sounds like you're not very good at either of those.

>>748132997You start getting a debuff every two years after turning 30.
The truth is it becomes embarrassing at some point in a man adult life to be seen buying video games for himself especially if they are Nintendo games
>>748130856if you are over 30 and have plenty of experience in gaming. Playing on easy mode means you are bad at your hobby, therefore, you should stop and do something elseImagine a musician with decades of experience that can't play a song properly, it's embarrassing
>>748132551Your entire generation says shit like this, and I love it kek.
>>748137686As do I.
>>748130856>Soiny movie game>easy modelmao
>>748132794Only if you were born in the 90's. Then you're part of the most neurotic generation that ever lived. The worst people in out society right now were born in the 90's, think about it.
>>748130856Dude I'm not watching your eceleb
>>74813279430 isnt bad its just the illusion of eternal youth melts away. You need a good sleep to feel good, your vision isnt as good, your back and knees are starting to get sore. Hang overs become far worse, most people quit drinking because of it. People you grew up with start passing away - ive had 3 class mates pass this year. Obviously it's not the same for everyone.
>>748133003The amount of people saying they're old and broken while being in their late 20's just straight pisses me off. Are they that bad at taking care of their bodies? I saw a video of someone 'realizing they weren't young anymore' when jumping down a stool and getting sore. Ain't no way their body sucks that fucking bad.
people made fun of sony for this but they were just ahead of the curve
>>748138107>Ain't no way their body sucks that fucking bad.All the corn syrup, cheap carbs, addictions and overtime that doesnt give them any time for life and self care are some reasons why they really are that bad, and it's atleast partly their fault
Bragging about playing your vidya on easy is even more embarassing than bragging you play on hard.
>>748138107I'm almost 40 and while I do need to get in shape I have basically zero aches or pains. I would always talk to coworkers about it and they'd say how they were always aching in the morning and I have no idea why. I'm not healthy like I should be at all.
>>748132794It depends on your lifestyle. Your early 30s are when all of your bad habits start catching up with you. My knees are a little fucked from working a factory job for 12 years, but I'm not fucking geriatric like lots of people like to pretend. Had to stop jogging though because of hip joint issues. Hopefully that goes away over winter.
>>748130856>get home>doom scroll social media for 4 hours>hop on the game at 11:30>die to boss once>spend 20 minutes making a tiktok about it>"geez i just aint got the time to get gud at this game bro, time for bed"
>>748132794That will depend on each person, but prepare yourself for feeling like each day is never long enough, because they WILL feel shorter the older you get and you'll hate it.If there's any advice I can give to anyone who's 20, it's make the most of that decade because you'll never get another one like it.

>>748133762I have kids and it’s way easier when they aren't babies/toddlers anymore because they are more independent and don’t need you constantly, also you can actually sleep again. To be honest I think most people have terrible time management and no clue about their priorities.If you want more free time, than make more time.Maybe change your job, adjust other things, stop mindless time wasting, etc…Sure you might change to a job that makes less money, but honestly that matters a lot less than people think.Most people might make a high monthly salary and then burn all of it. If you actually are financially aware you can be far more financially successful than others even on a lower salary, and with leas work pressure you can have more time and energy for other things, even investing.
Fuck I’m cooked I’ll be 40 when my kid is 5
>>748132973That cat was declawed and defanged, it's why she looks distressed but doesn't fight back. And unlike this faggot would like you to think >>748133404 the cat is abused just by how they treat her in the videos, they tease her constantly and pit her against their other pets.
>>748132376>ears pulled back >whiskers pushed forward >back tense >hands tight around the arm holding them>unblinking eyesThat cat is absolutely terrified
>>748131072Because I live on easy street thanks to investing in one of my retard tech bros companies big time about fifteen years ago. I used some of that to invest elsewhere and did well there too so now I don't need to work another day in my life. spent the next 3 years getting fit and then the next 5 fucking my way around america and europe and now I'm 37 and wanna go back to being a shut in for awhile.

>>748131278I have realized this as I've got older.you're subjecting yourself to someone's taste for for 2 hours and unless it directly aligns with yours it's gonna be at least somewhat unfulfilling.I'd say maybe 1 in 20 movies I seek out and watch felt like it was worth my time.I have no idea how "movie buffs" subject themselves to that many a week.
>turn 40 >playing Abiotic factor solo>remove LayakIt's just rebalancing the game for solo, groups basically cheat and are easy mode. Plus something that always knows where you are, spooks you every 15 minutes, is unkillable, and can invade your base is bad game design.
>>748132842If you stop playing games when you have a family you honestly just dont like playing games much to begin with

>>748140946I care about a lot less.If I was 20 and an OOT remake came out, I'd be taking days off work to play it.Now I'm like "meh, alrght, fine."
I never understood that mindset. What prevents you from spending months on a game? Especially if you're over 30 and have actually grown up only getting a new game for birthday and christmas. It was normal. And if "time to play" is the issue, there are enough games you can play in coffee break sized bits that are still challenging (e.g. Hotline Miami 1), or most actual PC games because you can save anytime, anywhere.So what is the actual problem, hmmm?
>>748131012Hooboy /v/ did not like that one kek
>>748138743>>748141141almost half of the replies are "yikes /v/ didn't like that, huh?"It kind of loses it's impact
>>748130856I don't play on easy but I don't bother trying to beat games on hard anymore either. Just normal/medium for me now.I just can't be fucked with the tedium involved in hard mode anymore, just sucks the fun out of the game for me and beating a game on hard doesn't feel as rewarding anymore as it used to.
>>748138321I get that. >>748138462I'm probably a decade younger than you in that case. I think it's good to be active. I do try to do workouts and cardio to get better at certain hobbies like fencing but I get to fuck around a lot more because I do remote shit
>>748137651This. It's mostly all the same shit with different coat of paint.
>>748141268It really depends on the hard mode.Additional objectives, better ai? Sure.Just more hp or something like that? Lame and gay.
>>748133762My friend is in the same boat and started having kids when he was 24 years old. Recently, he just said he hasn't been able to play any videogames for the whole month because his entire day is going to work, coming home and taking care of the kids, and then going to sleep. Even when he does get free time, it's always cut short by one of the babies waking up.
>>748137841>The worst people in out society right now were born in the 90's, think about it.Yeah they're called "parents of ipad kids"
>Snoyim thread
>>748131025T-that's gatekeeping from videogames... you can't do that, that's going to start a GamerGate™ 2: electric bangaloo
>>748138462Sometimes you just have shit luck. Stuff can develop that is outside of your control or you can get a weird chronic pain. I have this weird shoulder pain like once a week and have had it since age 25 or so. Seen like five different specialists across different hospitals to no avail. It's just something I need to deal with by taking a painkiller. Otherwise, I'm probably the most buff person on our floor.
>>748137651I have a strong suspicion that this guy is a "gamer". There are a bunch of them. Basically, these guys play games occasionally and were never good at vidya in the first place. Now they have reached the poignant conclusion that they are "too old to care" or whatever and use that as some kind of flex.I have wife, a kid, guaranteed make more than this guy and am older. I would also absolutely blast his ass away in whatever consolepleb it is he's playing. Dude just sucks at games and probably has some other hobby like knowing all StarTrek episodes off by heart.
>>748130856Only a matter of time until Easy Mode is instead called "I Have a Job Mode"
>>748131072Is that what the guy in your webm has been doing?
>>748141429Basically this. Thief had a great hard mode, but it's super rare. Most games just turn enemies into bullet sponges, lower your stats and/or require you to waste time optimizing a build, which is pretty fucking boring.
>>748133440Can confirmShare a house with a couple of other people in the same state and it's a neverending LAN party

>>748144338so true, my vidya skills fall off immensely while drinking and when you're drunk it's more fun to talk anyway. Although soul calibur is a different story
>>748132794I'm 34 years old and barely move around and my body is fine. I'm a bit overweight but I've never felt any kind of pain with my body or more tried than usual.
>>748132794Just do routine exercises
>>748141268It fully depends on the game. In a lot of turn based RPG's harder difficulties just means that you have to grind longer and that's the "hard part". But when I play stuff like Path of Exile 2 I always do SSFHC, because else it feels like there's zero challenge or accomplishment when playing.
>>748132054>two proud antisemites staring at each other
>>748130856I mean personally I just stick with already easy games like RPGs, open world Ubisoft clones and platformers made for kids and not speedrunners
Easy mode players would be way less obnoxious if they didn't need to signal to everyone how they like dumbing down their games and throw a tantrum if they don't have everyone's approval.
>>748130856its not an age thing

>>748133762>8 hours is sleepI wish I could sleep only 8h. It's a min 9.5 for me
>>748132794Honestly, I've been happier since turning 30 (though probably because I quit most forms of social media, /v/ is pretty much the only place I post these days)Just listen to your body and look after yourself physically and mentally and you will be fine
>>748130856>be mid 40s>still completely demolish TF2/Planetside 2 lobbies>buddy and I quit PUBG because we had an 80% Chicken Dinner rate at one pointgit gud
>>748132794You're good until almost 40 if you work out.
>>748132794Eh early 30s honestly still feel like you're in your 20s. 35+ is when you start to get random aches, drinking starts to hurt more, hangovers start to become 2 days long, you need to take an afternoon nap at least once a week and you'll sometimes just wake up with random back pain. The physical parts of being in your 30s are fine. What sucks is one by one your friends will start to disappear until suddenly you'll look around at age 37 and realize everyone else is married and busy. Meeting a friend goes from sending a text and seeing someone in 5-10min, to sending a text to organise a 1 hour hangout for 2 weeks from now.
>>748132794Depends what you're doing with your life. If you're not having kids, there's not much reason it can't be as good as your 20's, although not quite as much partying and abhorrent hangovers. I'm 32 and I'm more injury prone now than my 20's for sure, eg sore thumb joint, sore knees if over used, blew my back out for the first time last year etc. My GF is 10 years younger and I don't have much trouble hanging out with her mates, the biggest difference is I'm tight with my time compared to them and pull up like shit after a night whereas they do okay by midday.Kids are a different beast altogether. Some couples seem to handle it extremely well where others really struggle and I'm not totally sure what the difference is desu.Anyway I still play on hard.

>>748133762>Most people tend to have kids around their 20sUhh anon 38% of people under 30 are still virgins. Current data is fucked.
>>748140946Reaction speed is something you train and it's just as relevant in videogames as it is for everything else that requires it.You aren't slowing down because you still play, the people who "can't game like they used to" are those who have full time jobs, a wife and kids and zero free time. So when they finally get to sit down and play something for a couple of hours and they're rusty as fuck at it they blame their age and not the fact that they just aren't playing as much
>people keep pressuring you to marry and have kids>yet every man talking about his adult family life seems miserable as fuck
>>748132794I don't have any problems with playing on hard difficulty or with sex, but I do have to be careful about certain health issues, and I think the most important thing is not to assume that just because you're in your 20s, you can do whatever you want. Try to exercise moderation, and your body will thank you for it when you're older>>748150265Hey, I’m 32 too, and my girlfriend is about 10 years younger than meDoes she like that you’re older? Do you two play around with that? Mine does, and it’s becoming more and more of a thing.
>>748151602We joke about it but I don't think it's something that she's really conscious of. It's more of a supportive daddy thing, which I actually don't like so she only leans into it on occasion.
>>748146631This is what I mean by millenials are so fucking lame.Or Gen X whatever the fuck.Do all older people get like this? Will Gen Z be this fucking lame, too?

>>748153002Tbh, they look like an average couple. Minus the gaming paraphernalia.
>>748151357If you're anything like me the "pressure" doesn't matter because you're not going to get a girlfriend anywaysThough, nearing my 30's, I'm getting to the age where everyone I know has stopped pestering about it, because they know It's ogre
>>748141268I’d love hard modes if they actually had interesting rules / changes to make the game harder, but nope, it’s always just dull stat buffs.On the other hand, if I try to play games on easy, I will just get bored if the game offers zero friction. I can basically feel how my brain zones out in gameplay sections if I don’t have to put any effort in.
>>748153393try self imposed rules

>>748150346Most people (who have kids) tend to have kids in their 20s.
>>748132794It's pretty good for me. Not for my friends as everyone got depressed, mentally ill, poor, have kids and no time, etc in any combination. So not being able to party with them sucks.But my life haven't change much, not for worse for sure. I'm learning Japanese(having much greater results than in my teens), playing more challenging and interesting games, watching good anime, writing hobby software that people actually find useful, planning to get helmsman and/or parachute certificate/courses so I can do some fun stuff irl. Life's been pretty good.>>748132912Mental deterioration from social media.
>>748152881So millennials or gen x? Or are you just seething and shitting internally over an inane twitter post and looking for anything to lash out on?
>>748151357It always seems so sus. You hang out with a friend who got a kid and so can no longer attend his regular activities/parties/etc. But if you ask them if they miss it they always go like "you don't really think like that", "it's not like that, you change", etc.Yeah sure bud, you've been low key complaining about all these pain in the ass situations and had to abandon most of your social life and activities but you don't really think about them. If you can't just say "I am having a great time" or "I am having a rough time but I'm getting by" then it just feels like you have quite few repressed feelings here.

I play on harder difficulties than I used to because I've been playing games for ages and so I'm naturally better at them than I used to be. It's not like single player stuff ever demands the sort of twitch reactions that you start to lose with age like multiplayer does, harder settings just demand using your brain a little.

>>748154926It's almost like games people pretend are hard like ultrakill are really easy baby games....
>people ITT that have a wife and kidsget off my board fucking normalfags REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>748158669I wouldn't call ultrakill easy. It's one of the hardest action games I've played to be honest(I don't play soulslikes though so idk about these). It takes quite some practice, learning combos and strategy to actually Prank later levels on brutal. I also do not see many people claim that Ultrakill is a very difficult game, except for total newcomers who haven't played any movement shooters since Quake III and get overwhelmed by the pace.I think Ultrakill sits right in the sweetspot, being quite challenging from start and escalating in complexity at just the right pace. If anything, I think Touhous difficulty is just inflated, with a newcomers struggling to finish the game even at the easiest difficulty. But it's fine, it's just artifact of the game being a distilled skill check and how huge the skill disparity is between casuals and people who autistically play arcade shmups. Just like with rhythm games.My point is, superduperultrahard is one game is easy in another, especially across genres. Comparing them by difficulty naming itself is meaningless.
>>748133281>>74813351536 is when my body really started breaking. Take it from a person that does exercise. Only do it in moderation unless you want to start walking like a cripple past forty. It's not fun having a spine that looks like abstract sculpture, waking up clutching your elbows and knees because the arthritis is so bad, or having to force yourself to stand and sit straight because of spondylotic changes in your bone structure. Yeah sure, you might not get arthritis, but that wear and tear on your bones is fucking real. You don't notice the effects of splitting fire wood your entire childhood until you're in your thirties. Then you remember the feel of the axe handle every time you try to open a jar of pickles. It's like every bone has a memory of the favors you did.
