What games made you realize you’re losing your gaming skills? Super Mario Kart 150cc does not fuck around…but I could beat it when I was a kid. It completely filters me by the time I hit the Star Cup now.
>>12566275Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. I can beat everyone except Tyson now. I feel like I could probably still do it since I'm more autistic now, I just don't have the time to dedicate to it that I had when I was 10.
>>12566287Tysons not too bad, you just need a low latency display(not even a CRT, my oled monitor does the job)and a wired controller. He's definitely still hard but I can do it in a few tries as long as the set up is ideal.
>>12566307My last attempts were on RetroArch on a Wii U via the gamepad screen, so maybe that's why. I managed to beat everyone else with that setup without runahead surprisingly.
>>12566287While skill can decline, it can also be easy to forget how much time you invested in these games as a kid. You remember beating it, but you might forget that you probably played the game for hours a day over the course of weeks or months, and repeated those tricky parts over and over again before finally winning. You're also more prone to beat yourself up over mistakes than you were as a kid. As a kid you probably had thoughts like "this game fucking cheats," as an adult you are more likely to respond to failure with thoughts of "wow I fucking suck at this."
>>12566323>As a kid you probably had thoughts like "this game fucking cheats,"It has been confirmed via analysis of the game ROMs that some of them, in fact, did cheat.
I used to have a lot more free time to try out all the assorted glitches in SMB like trying to get to the Minus World and stuff.
