I Am Losing My Touch At Gaming....

[Spacescifi]

Video games to be precise. The only quick finger games I play nowadays are via an emulator on my phone that lets me play older games from the console wars era (NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis etc).

I have noticed that unless I play regularly, my fingers are not fast enough to react on the touch screen to avoid dying, especially in games that require precise movement of any sort.

So that virtually rules out fighting games, and even some space sims, since I cannot avoid getting shot.

I am partial nowadays to quitting it altogether. There are actual hobbies I can and would pursue if not for gaming, like drawing or writing fiction.

Gaming was and is easier... but ironically at some point in life it seems I am getting literally too old for the twitch movements required for victory.

To win the cost is becoming higher than I am willing to pay and for what?

A credits screen lol?

Older console games are notorious for poor or nonexistent endings anyway.

I may end up just setting a limit on how long I play and leave it at that. Since it is entertaining but utterly frustrating AND utterly unimportant.

I guess I am venting. I can do that here right lol?

Right now though, my emulator is uninstalled and I feel no urge to reinstall it.
