Yep. There’s definitely a shorter performance arc when firing up a fast-paced game. Couple short rounds to warm up, then several good rounds, then frustration at why your hits don’t land as hard. Time to take a break. Used to last a lot longer at top level a decade ago.

I can basically play like I was younger but I can’t stay hyper focused for as long 🤷♀️
You can also see a lot of multiplayer ranking systems basically make sure only the turbo grinders make real progress past a point
You might be just as good but they make sure it takes hundreds+ hours per season to get to the top.

How I used to play Counter-Strike for 3-4 hours as a kid amazes me. Last time I think I bailed after 30 minutes.
