Played a reflex-based video game against a teenager lately?

I feel like reflexes are different than learning. Motor control definitely gets worse over time.

Played a fiddle vs the Devil?

I don't really play competitive video games, because I have always seen them as waste of time, and I easily get angry,but recently I nearly did get all retroachievements for NES Terris (just one remaining), so I guess my reflexes are not horrible yet.

Im in my thirties and still average reflex speeds around 150-175ms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
