ARE YOU TO OLD TO LEARN?

I have been having trouble with my brain multi tasking. I have gone from Mario Kart to Splatoon. I have to figure weapons, strategy, hand eye coordination. Sure beats picking up rice and putting it in a jar.

If you do play look me up, SirShakes.

Great game and LIFE LESSONS too.

I have started to really enjoy this game. I do how ever find myself getting very dizzy after a hour and a half. I am starting to actually start formulating strategy.

Today I played a player with the name JFOX PLAYS . I wanted to see if it was possibly ????? Only to find that as I researched the character he no longer showed up on the Splatoon players you played today. If it was you ok ok I will finish those surveys.

Could Splatoon have the answers to Parkinson's? As I play I am keenly aware that I do not have the nimble fingers or the sharp multitasking mind of the majority of the other players out there. I try to play smarter. I will come up with a game plan and try out different weapons from different vantage points. I will get a particular method down that my team kicks but every time. I will explore this game plan the next day and my team gets creamed and I have to go back to the drawing board. Same course, same weapon, same plan so what has changed. Why did I rule the fight yesterday and today using the same strategy I am getting my butt kicked. Am I slower today, should I use a different weapon?

It then became very aware to me that the numbers are the same, the stage is the same, the weapons are the same, so whats the difference, the players. What was a winning strategy yesterday totally blows today. The players are Dopamine, serotonin, and a dozen other neurotransmitters. Some like to pair up and kick butt and others don't do a whole lot. When Doctors start looking at all neurotransmitters and not just Dopamine I believe they will find synergistic pairing that requires different treatments.

Just thinking out loud.

It is official, my Parkinson's brain is not as fast as 10 years ago. My wife, who is also my age is dominating on Splatoon. She is currently an A- and I can't seem to get past a B. I use to be the game master but the more multitasking there is the more I slow down. I will forget what my sub weapon is or when I should have used it.
